Omar Bhai, ASA
Jazakallah for updating me over the existing precarious situationof
Palestine and its people. These are known facts of Muslim Ummah prevailing
everywhere. What I meant to say through my article:"For Hamas -
The Surest Way to Success" was this:
1. Muslim Ummah got again a chance to show their worth to the world on the
lines Pakistan got. They should not fail and let it goas Pakistan did.
Allah has given this chance to Hamas through Elections as was the casewith
Muslim League in India in the elections ofMarch 1946 that culminated into
the creation Pakistan.
2. They have to grow themselves independent of
Israel and stand on their own legs with whatever meager resources
their "scratch-government" can afford within their bounds and get from Muslims
around the world.
3. Muslim Ummah must come to their support, morally and financially as the
call of their Iman. If they remain silent spectators, they will all be
responsible to Allah for the failure of Hamas.
4. Meanwhile, they should reconstruct the character and behavior of their
people afresh.That will take care of the shortcomings that youand
othershave pinpointed about Palestinian life pattern.
5. In this process, they will have tokeep themselves quite, subdued
and are not agitated at allinstead of provocations from Israel and other
adversaries. They will have to be nice to their neighbors anddie-hard
enemies, come what may happen.
6. This is the road of hardship, hunger, sufferings and
evenfacing"let-them-down-and die" attitude of the
"Trio"but they will have to work along with it only for Allah's
sake and then He will pave their way to safety and security, strength,
successand recognition of their changedMuslim behaviorby their
"enemies"
7. I know you and many others will not listen to this way of thinking. But
Hamas has no alterative except behaving like good Muslims, bear the
onslaughts and continue their constructive work with Sabr and Hikmah and one day
their enemies, Insha Allah,will become their "friends." This is
the way Allah ordains Muslim to go, actand behave on this earth
and Hamas has to follow it, if it wants to attain success in both the
worlds.
8. Yours and ourjob is to convince the Hamas people to follow this
line of actions if they are sincere to their conviction as a benevolent
political entitythat they stand for the good of humanity.It is the
test of theirIman and Allah's help will come only if they stand by it.
That is why I call: it would be the miracle of twenty
first century.
I know you will not agree with it as you are practically "lost" or carried
awaywith the glammar of the Western press and theirlopsided
prejudiced reporting.

{Invite (mankind, O Muhammad ) to the Way of your Lord (i.e. Islam) with wisdom (i.e. with the Divine Inspiration and the Qur'an) and fair preaching, and argue with them in a way that is better. Truly, your Lord knows best who has gone astray from His Path, and He is the Best Aware of those who are guided.}
(Holy Quran-16:125)
{And who is better in speech than he who [says: My Lord is Allah (believes in His Oneness), and then stands straight (acts upon His Order), and] invites (men) to Allah's (Islamic Monotheism), and does righteous deeds, and says: I am one of the Muslims.} (Holy Quran-41:33)
The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: By Allah, if Allah guides one person by you, it is better for you than the best types of camels. [al-Bukhaaree, Muslim]
The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) also said, Whoever calls to guidance will have a reward similar to the reward of the one who follows him, without the reward of either of them being lessened at all.
[Muslim, Ahmad, Aboo Daawood, an-Nasaa'ee, at-Tirmidhee, Ibn Maajah]
