OBJECTION EXPLAINED – Kya imtihan sirf ilm ka hai ya amal ka bhi?
Ek confused Muslim ne sawal uthaya:
“Kya Allah ka imtihan sirf deen samajhne (knowledge) ka hai ya us par amal (practice) ka bhi?
Agar Islam ko samajhna itna mushkil hai — alag alag interpretations hain (Deobandi, Jamaati, Salafi, Modernist) — to kya har shakhs pe ye farz hai ke wo sab parhe, compare kare, aur tab amal kare? Ya sirf amal karna hi kaafi hai, bina deep understanding ke?
Usne ye bhi poocha:
“Allah ne Quran ko simple aur crystal clear kyun nahi banaya? Har rule table of contents jaisa kyun nahi diya?”
SHORT ANSWER – Deen ka imtihan samajhne aur amal dono ka hai
Mufti Yasir ne jawab diya:
“Islam ka safar sirf ilm ka nahi, amal ka bhi hai — dono saath-saath chalte hain. Har shakhs se unhi cheezon ka imtihan hoga jo uski capacity me hain.”
Quran aur Hadith ka basic level aam insaan ke liye clear hai. Deep-level tafseel scholars ke liye hoti hai, jiska burden aam logon par nahi hota.
DETAILED ANSWER – Samajhna aur amal: dono ka role kya hai?
Mufti Yasir ne poore framework ko stages me samjhaya:
🔹 Basic Knowledge (Foundation)
- Shahaadat
- Namaz
- Roza
- Zakat
- Hajj
- Imaan on Allah, Angels, Books, Prophets, Qadar
“Yeh sab 4 minute me bhi samajh aa sakta hai. Is par har Muslim ka imtihan hoga.”
🔹 Intermediate Understanding (Family & Society Level)
- Nikah, talaq, inheritance, dealings, akhlaaq, etc.
- Yahaan samajhna aur amal parallel chalte hain.
🔹 Advanced Knowledge (State & Civilizational Level)
- Political Islam, Shariah economics, Qisas laws
“Aap individually qaatil ko saza nahi de sakte — ye hukumat ka kaam hai. Is level par ilm farz hai, amal nahi.”
OBJECTION FLAWS – Quran “clear” kyun nahi hai? Confusion ka sabab kya hai?
1. Personal Confusion ≠ Divine Confusion
Agar aap confused hain, to iska matlab yeh nahi ke Quran unclear hai. Confusion tab hoti hai jab aap ilm lene ki jagah speculation karte hain.
2. Scholar-level Differences Are a Rahmah
Mufti Yasir ne kaha:
“Hanfi, Shafi, Maliki, Hanbali — inke differences rahmat hain, rukawat nahi.”
Yeh flexibility modern masail (banking, crypto, finance) me adapt hone me help karti hai.
3. Interpretation ka burden aam aadmi par nahi hota
Aam Muslim ke liye ek reliable scholar follow karna hi kaafi hai. Deep research scholars ke zimmedari hai.
4. Ambiguity is a test of sincerity
Quran ke kuch mutashabihaat (ambiguous verses) imtihan hain — kya banda seekhne ki niyyat rakhta hai, ya confuse hone ka bahana banata hai?
FINAL THOUGHTS – Ilm bina amal bekaar, aur amal bina samajh andha hai
Mufti Yasir ka paighaam clear tha:
“Deen samajhne ka safar lifelong hai, lekin imtihan usi cheez ka hota hai jo aap samajh sakte ho.”
Islam neither forces blind practice nor expects perfect scholarship. Jo ilm mila, us par amal karo — aur ilm barhne ke sath amal bhi gehra hota jaye.
Aakhir me ek zaruri baat:
“Ikhtilaf ke bawajood, ulama ek dusre ki izzat karte hain. Lekin agar koi traditional Islam par hamla kare, to jawab dena bhi ek zimmedari hai — bina nafrat ke, lekin bina compromise ke bhi.”
