OBJECTION EXPLAINED – “14 August ya 26 January Jaise National Days Ko Celebrate Karna Kya Haram Hai?”
Amir Haq ne 3 mushkil sawal uthaye. Unka pehla sawal yeh tha:
Muslims agar kisi secular country jaise India, USA ya Canada me rehte hain, to kya unke liye national days jaise Independence Day ya Republic Day ko manाना allowed hai? Aur kya yeh Islam ke khilaf hai?
Dusra sawal yeh tha ke Eid-ul-Adha jise hum Ibrahim (AS) ke ek personal act ke taur par jaante hain, usse ek global ritual kyun bana diya gaya?
Teesra sawal tha: Kya Hajj sirf rich logo ke liye reh gaya hai? Kya Islam me caste jaisi koi social division aa gayi hai jo poor logo ko access nahi milne deti?
SHORT ANSWER – “National Day Mana Sakte Hain Ya Nahi?” ka Seedha Jawab
Islam sirf un festivals ko mana karta hai jo kisi religious identity ka hissa ho. Jaise: Holi, Diwali, Christmas.
Lekin secular national days — jaise 15 August ya 26 January — agar unka maksad sirf appreciation aur historical ya civil celebration hai, to wo haram nahi hai. Bas unme shirk ya ghair-shar’i activity na ho.
DETAILED ANSWER – Mufti Yasir ka Response, Point by Point
1. Religious vs. Civil Festivals ka Farq:
Mufti Yasir ne clear kiya ke Islam sirf un events ko mana karta hai jo kisi aur religion ki religious identity ka hissa ho — jese Christmas ya Holi. Lekin Independence Day jese events national identity ko represent karte hain, na ke koi deen ya aqeedah.
2. Hadith ka Context:
Jo hadith quote ki gayi (“Jo kisi qaum ki mushabihat ikhtiyar kare, wo unhi me se hai”) — uska context religious rituals tha, na ke civil ya cultural habits.
3. Eid-ul-Adha sirf Ibrahim (AS) ka act nahi:
Kurbani sirf ek historical event nahi, balki Quran ne use Shari’ hukum banaya. Har Muslim ko, chahe wo Hajj par ho ya na ho, Ibrahim (AS) ke amal ki yad me aur Hajj ke dinon se relate karke kurbani ka hukm diya gaya hai.
4. Hajj Me Discrimination Islam Ki Wajah Se Nahi:
Aamir Haq ka objection tha ke rich log hi Makkah/Madinah me aasan facilities afford kar sakte hain. Mufti Yasir ne kaha ye Islam ka masla nahi, balki capitalist mismanagement ka result hai.
Riyaz-ul-Jannah ya Haram ka view hotel rooms ke rates se link kar dena Islam nahi, balki capitalism ka abuse hai.
OBJECTION FLAWS – 6 Logical Problems in Amir Haq’s Arguments
1. False Equivalence:
National days ko religious festivals se compare karna logical flaw hai — dono ka nature alag hai.
2. Misinterpretation of Hadith:
Jo hadith ka quote diya gaya, uska context secular ya civil festivals nahi, balki aqeedah-based religious rituals tha.
3. Ignoring Quranic Command:
Kurbani sirf ek symbolic act nahi — Quran ne isay collective ibadah banaya hai.
4. Blaming Islam for Economic Problems:
Hajj access ki inequality Islam ki wajah se nahi, balki present-day Saudi management aur capitalism ki wajah se hai.
5. Oversimplification of Access to Hajj:
Har saal millions of poor Muslims bhi Hajj karte hain — yeh sirf elite class tak limited nahi.
6. Emotional Framing Without Proof:
“Muslims can’t reach Kaaba” ya “they’re kept out” jese statements exaggeration hain. Real issue system ki efficiency, not religious discrimination.
FINAL THOUGHTS – Kya Islam Har Khushi Aur Event Ko Roke Deta Hai?
Islam zindagi se bhagne ka deen nahi — yeh tarteeb aur akhlaq ka deen hai. Islam sirf un cheezon ko roknay ko kehta hai jo shirk, ghaflat ya gunah ka zariya ban jaayein.
National unity, history ki yaad aur gratitude express karna mana nahi — jab tak usme deen ki boundaries break na ho.
