Analysts call for unity to overcome challenges being faced by Muslim world
November 04, 2021

 

Dr. Qibla Ayaz (Chairman, Council of Islamic Ideology): Prime Minister Imran Khan has appealed the entire Muslim world to work together to promote true teachings of Islam. The Prime Minister has urged the Muslim countries to get united. It is an appropriate statement of Prime Minister at an appropriate time. Another good initiative taken at this time is establishment of Rehmatul-lil-Alameen Authority to promote the teachings of our religion to be conveyed to the future generation and the authority will counter the spread of vulgar and blasphemous content on the social media. At this point of time, the Muslim youth is indeed facing the challenge at the front of social media in view of post-globalized scenario and guidance to the youth about the teachings of Islam is very important. OIC and other Islamic regional organizations must be utilized as platforms to promote the true teachings of Islam and Holy Prophet PBUH and it would be vital step to generate awareness among the youth of today.

Dr. Masoom Yasinzai (Rector, International Islamic University): The main purpose of establishment of Rehmatul-lil-Alameen Authority to covey the true teachings of Islam and life style of our Holy Prophet PBUH to the youth. According to Islamic teachings, the purpose of human life is to live a good life, in obedience to the laws of Allah, having a good connection with Allah, as well as good dealings with people, thereby attaining true happiness in this world, and also preparing for the eternal life. Unfortunately, the western world is trying to portraying an image that Muslim women are not being provided their rights and in contrary Islam has given the equal rights to women as men. Even when exhorting Muslims to fight their opponents, the Qur'an did not suggest that those engaged in hostilities should be forced to convert to Islam. Indeed, it drew a sharp line between enforcing recognition of state authority and forcing any change of religious belief. Prime Minister Imran Khan deserves appreciation for supporting causes of the Muslim Ummah at every international forum.

Lt Gen (Retd) Asif Yasin Malik (Defense Analyst): During the last five to six years, we have come to know about a term that is 'The New Normal'. As per this term, killing of Kashmiris and raping the women is The New Normal for India. For the Hippocratic western countries, Indian worst human rights violations, brutal policies in IIOJ&K and genocide of Muslims across the world are the New Normal. It is very unfortunate that that world for the sake of its trade and economic interests with India continuously ignoring the brutalities of Indian forces in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir. But the fact is that Kashmiris are determined to get their fundamental right to self-determination by all means and will never step back from the struggle to get their right. Even the Indian brutal forces cannot suppress their freedom struggle.

Abdullah Gul (IR Expert): The hypocrisy of India is evident since its inception on the World map. Apparently, Indian constitution proclaims that India is a secular country but the praxis is overwhelmed with irony. The regional countries are not buying the Indian stance on illicit occupation of Kashmir. At international level, India is strengthening security ties with United States of America (USA) as the rise of China is a potential threat to their hegemony. For that purpose, USA is using India as a paid stooge against China. The Kashmir issue is being widely ignored in the Great Power Politics. International community has previously resolved territorial disputes in different regions but when it comes to Kashmir issue, the global hegemon USA is silent. The demands of Kashmir's Muslims are concurrent with the UN Charter that allows princely states with the 'Right of Self-determination). India, being the largest democracy is explicitly violating Human Rights Laws in Kashmir which implies that India is an illiberal democracy. Moreover, the incumbent government of India has added fuel to the fire in the context of Kashmir issue. Modi's racist policies will prove disastrous for India in near future. The domestic upheaval in the India unleash that Modi's government is promoting Islamophobia at international level. On contrary, Pakistan has always played constructive role in promoting regional peace and stability. Pakistan is embracing paradigm shift due to uncontrolled arms race initiated by India as they are looking forward to add more lethal weapons in their military archives. Thus, Pakistan should be vigilant about the Indian sponsored espionage in the country and should raise the Kashmir issues at international forums else wise the political instability will be the fate of South Asian region.
