Mumtaz Qadri and his Janaza

I do not understand why are people bothered about janaza of Mumtaz Qadri? People who attended janaza thought that Mumtaz was a Muslim, or may be a Good Muslim. I do not find any problem if people attend a funeral because they think that the departed soul was a good Muslim. It is between them and their God, why do I judge that these people are wrong? Do I have the mandate to judge them? If I judge them, then how will I differentiate myself from those who judge me and think of me as a bad Muslim? Also, why do I need to know that Mumtaz Qadri went to Jannat or Jahannum? It is the matter to be decided by Allah; who am I to decide?

Another interesting thing is that after every few days I see posts and material against blasphemy law… I sometimes wonder why don’t I hear the same hue and cry regarding the laws about theft and murder, despite the fact that many innocents have been wrongly punished in false allegations of theft and murder.

 

Can we ever think positive? I wonder!!

Those Pakistanis who are trying to equate (knowingly, unknowingly, emotionally, rationally) the #Mashal Khan episode with the killing of Muslims in India for having beef or slaughtering cows, should see some clear differences:

1. Unlike secular India, Islamic Pakistan has taken steps in reaction. Pakistan looks like a functional state after the event. This is not the first time that the state has taken action/steps in a similar situation, the state has punished (i.e. hanged) at least 3 people in recent past for killing others in the name of religion. Remember this is an Islamic state which is usually considered to exhibit apologetic behavior in similar situations.
2. Cow is an animal whose meat is exported by India itself and there are many cows in the world. We do not see Muslims knowingly committing blasphemy against The Only Last Prophet (SAW).

The point here is not to start a debate, give an argument, defame India, or prove someone wrong… The point is that most of us have stopped thinking and seeing the positives. We only see negatives. Government taking action against people who kill others in the name of religion is a positive. Remain hopeful, and pray for more improvement, only if you have faith (in anything). Remain hopeless and keep shouting otherwise… But remember, things won’t change overnight…

May Allah guide all of us!!!
