Quotes
Never think that Allah will not listen to a sinner like me. Then faith will be destroyed. Allah listens to sinners too. Never think that if Allah did not grant my request, then He will not grant it again. It is mentioned in the Hadith that when a servant becomes disappointed or impatient, Allah no longer accepts that prayer!
The Jamaat-e-Islami is the oldest Islamist political party in the sub continent. The party has carried out several positive works. These include: (i) they have demonstrated that Islam is a complete code of life, it is a prac tical system, and it is the best way of life; (ii) they have enabled themselves in making the youths and the educated people understand these facts about Islam; (iii) they have largely motivated people for Islamic economy, educa tion, and so on; (iv) they have succeeded in building awareness amongst the people on the existing superstitions in the society, such as worshipping persons, pirs, and grave. Side by side, Jahangir continues, Several errors can be traced all along in the politics of the Jamaat-c-Islami: (i) they have designated politics as jihad. This was first done by Maulana Mawdudi; (ii) they have made a serious error by reducing the meaning of the concept of ckamat-e-deen (establishment of religion) to the establish ment of an Islamic state; (iii) the party has compromised its ideology and concentrated more on power-politics and made alliances with the secular parties and people for power; and (iv) during the liberation war the Jamaat supported and took arms for what it had earlier termed a "non-Muslim tagudi [tyrant] government." This was their biggest mistake.... Yes, the ulama also supported Pakistan because they loved Pakistan. They were obsessed with the spirit of the creation of Pakistan in 1947. In 1971, still they remembered this glorious event. However, [during the liberation war] they did not organize people for Pakistan and actively take part in the military effort to preserve the integrity of the country. They just gave passive support.... The lust for power demonstrated by the Jamaat proves that they have deviated from their original ideological stance that the secularists will not promote Islam; instead, a group of highly Islamized people should attain power to properly serve the cause of Islam. But the party became the part of power by the help of the secularists. This is their ideological deviation. This trend still continues. What Jamaat considers development; it is, in fact, underdevelopment. In our society, merely 10-15% people are namazi-deendar [practicing Muslims). But, the Jamaat, having shared power with the BNP, gives the world a message that the Islamists take over and Bangladesh is on the verge of becoming a Taliban state. So, at any cost, Jamaat will have to be crushed. For example, you have power of 10kgs, you showed 100kgs. Your opponent hit you with 60kgs, but you have only 10kgs. You will be definitely crushed. Because of this, it is better for the Islamists to influence and pressurize the secularists in power at least so long as they do not attain power unilaterally. Jamaat did not raise voice against the alleged corruption during the four-party alliance government (2001-2006), rather they silently supported it. This is a clear deviation from their ideological standpoint. Those who do politics in the name of Islam, they have to take Islamic ideology into full consideration. Islamic politics is ideological politics. Islamic politics is not just a passport to power.

Sovereignty means ownership. It is simple that sovereign means owner. Like I am the owner of this land which is true. I can build, demolish, partition, sell here. I own this. Again this land belongs to God. This is also true. And the fact is, according to Islam, I can do many things with this land, but I cannot build a brothel here. Human ownership is limited; God's ownership is supreme over all other sovereignty. My ownership is worldly, and if I place it on the ownership of Allah, I will be guilty before Allah. At the same time, the people own the country, it is a simple matter. I do not agree with those who say that it is anti-Islamic to call the people sovereign and they are the source of all power. Power here does not mean storm-rain or disease power, it means ministerial, prime ministerial and above all state power. This power is actually human. In Islam, power will be gained by the consent of the people. In a society if the heads of the people agree and the people agree, that's fine, that's democracy. People's participation and participation is mandatory in democracy Islam. So the people own the state and the people are the source of power is not inconsistent with Islam. But if one thinks that this ownership means that anyone can do anything; If the haram (forbidden) is halal (lawful), and the halal is haram, then it is clearly anti-Islamic.

A variation of lying in the name of hadith is to add or omit something from the translation without doing a literal translation. Or making the interpretation of what the Prophet (ﷺ) said a part of the hadith. Almost all of us in our society are involved in this crime. For self-purification, Pir-Muridi, Dawat-Tabligh, politics, etc., we provide evidence from Quran and Hadith to people of every group and opinion. Providing such evidence is a very natural act and demand of faith. But usually we run this explanation in the name of Rasulullah (ﷺ). For example, Rasulullah (ﷺ) governed the state, but did not do 'party politics' in the traditional sense, i.e. did not do anything like change of power through voting. Currently many scholars are doing democratic 'politics'. It is accepted as a new method of enjoining justice, forbidding injustice or Iqamat Deen. But if we say, 'Rasulullah (ﷺ) did politics', then the listener or reader will understand the conventional meaning of 'politics', i.e. seizure of power through voting. And he did not do this politics. As a result, lies will be told in his name. That is why we should tell separately what he did and said and what we are interpreting.

Basically, no religion, doctrine or ideology teaches violence or terrorism. People engage in violence or terrorism due to human greed, weakness, helplessness, desire for revenge, etc. A person who engages in such violence uses his ideology to justify his actions, to free his conscience from guilt, to win others over to his side, and for other purposes. Jews and Christians have used the words of the Holy Bible to expel the Arabs who have lived in Jerusalem and other Palestinian areas for thousands of years through terrorism and genocide, and to bring the Jews who have lived in other countries for thousands of years there and establish the State of Israel. Similarly, Irish Catholics use their religious beliefs against British Protestants, Tibetan Buddhists use their Buddhist beliefs against Chinese, lower caste Hindus use socialist or religious views against upper caste Hindus, upper caste Hindus use the teachings and sayings of the Vedas, Gita and Hindu scriptures on caste system to carry out militant and terrorist activities against lower caste Hindus, Palestinian fighters try to get inspiration or motivation from their Islam or Christianity against the Jewish occupiers. In our society, if an Awami League worker gets excited for some reason and indulges in violence, he mentions the great issues of 'freedom', 'Bangabandhu', 'spirit of liberation war' etc. as the reason for his action. Similarly, BNP workers in this case use the great issues of 'Martyr Zia', nationalism, independence etc. as their 'excuses'. In both cases, other astute party workers know that these are being said to legitimize their own violence. If any action is taken against madrasa education, madrasas or madrasa educated people by blaming them for terrorism or militancy, they will naturally get angry and indulge in violence and present the danger of ‘Islam’ and ‘Islamic education’ as an excuse. Only terrorists will benefit from this and the nation will fall into a terrible conflict.
Terrorism in the Name of Islam, page: 39, 2nd edition, February 2009
Although the global anger over the killing of Muslims and the suppression of Islam in Muslim countries exists in all Muslim countries, militant activities have not spread equally in all countries. The kind of terrorist activities that can be observed in Indonesia are not found in Malaysia, whereas the spread of Islamic education, the large number of madrasas and the anti-American and Western sentiment are more prevalent in Malaysia. The main reason for this is probably the economic stability of Malaysia and the clear opinion of the state leaders against Western aggression and lies. Anger or emotion does not find much place in the minds of busy and satisfied people. Moreover, the emotions of their minds are echoed in the speeches of state leaders. As a result, they do not find distorted ways to express them. On the other hand, these emotions further inflame the anger and despair of the unemployed, victims of social discrimination or administrative injustice. Moreover, such people can be easily explained that by dropping two or four bombs or killing people in this way, the unemployment or oppression of countless people like you will end and the day of peace will come. Any field survey on those who have resorted to violence and terrorism to establish a proletarian rule or an Islamic rule in our country will prove this. Even the regional division will prove it. While the "recruitment" of socialist militants or Islamic militants is possible in the southwest, west and north of Bangladesh, it is not possible in the capital and its east. The economic poverty, unemployment, etc. of these areas are one of the reasons for this.
