| I too have a dream - Part II |
| 2005-10-14 |
| By HAMID NILNAGI My Islamic land will have big centres of learning where besides Islamic sciences latest technology will be taught leaving out the current western teachings. It will do away with that mad pursuit of technology that plays havoc with the moral and cultural upbringing of our children. Here I may point out Qurâan must have central focus in Islamic Sciences besides Prophetâs (SAW) sunnah which were mainly responsible before to help my people to be at the top of the world. My nationâs economy will be interest free economy so that no rich could exploit our poor. The money will keep circulating and will not remain stationed with the rich people only. Zakat system will be a corner stone of our national economic edifice. Paying of Zakat will be strictly taken care of. It will be ensured that the Zakat collected will be distributed to the deserving people so that a time will come no one in our world will remain poor and we will have no people who will receive Zakat. Due care will be taken that every family will have sufficient for livelihood. My government will take care of every home and family so that none of our womenfolk will feel need to earn due to poverty. I dream that our lands will be better utilized by our people. Only those people will be allowed to keep big farms who will be able to cultivate it and not to misuse it for their luxuries. Our Agriculture scientists will go to our farmers to their lands to teach them about the newer techniques, better seeds and ways of farming so that our yields will be such that we would require nothing from the rest of world not a single grain so that they could not exploit us. As my ideal nation is big and comprises almost half the world, we could get items from one province to other as such will not depend on any one. My nation will have big industries (of which it is devoid except few) where mass production of the things will take place which will cater daily needs of our people besides exports. Industrial plants where our crude oil will be cleaned without anyoneâs support. Besides traditional power plants we will have nuclear power plants to render the needs of our people. We will have units where we could manufacture arms and ammunition for our forces. Plants where we could manufacture ships, aircrafts and land vehicles for the people and armed forces of our nation. I dream my world to be so powerful that no one could dare to eye upon it. So powerful that no one could frighten us by tell us âeither with us or themâ. My nation will be an atomic super power with latest long range ballistic missiles, aerial fleets, sub marines. It will have a big brave Air force, Navy and Army guided with spirit of jehad. So potent, that no could have guts to colonize us on one pretext and other. No one would have courage to kill our youth in our own lands. Just I am pouring out my dream, my ears are hearing the gun shots coming from the vicinity, I know some of my brother will be there target of colonial forces. In my dream world these colonizers will not dare to touch our soil not to talk about killing our own people especially our youth in the heart of our cities. I dream when no one in this universe will try to throw us out of our houses. So mighty will be my nation that no one will even think of making the lives of our womenfolk miserable. Our womenfolk will be happy again as they will have full faith that their young sons, husbands and brothers are safe and will return back in evenings to them. Nothing will be there to make them weep. Their eyes beaming with joy and devoid of tears of sorrow. They will have people like Tariq bin Ziyad, Mosa bin Nasir, Muhammed bin Qasim, Auranzeb, Mehmood Gazni like people to protect and defend from enemies of Islam. They will have no fear except to care for their houses and children and live a happy Islamic life. I dream of a nation where no one will point finger on my beard. No one will question my sisterâs Purdah. No one will have fear of wearing khan dress. The dream which I visualize is not only my dream but of millions of my people on this earth. My dream is the result of an inspiration which I get from my great beloved Prophet (SAW). The dream about which Allama Iqbal (RA) has said âChino Arab hamara hindustan hamara - muslim hain hum watan hai sara jahan hamaraâ. Let no one feel that this dream is impossible to realise. Believe me we have been dreaming it the last 1300 years and particularly from the start of twentieth century when my nation was set apart. --Concluded (The author can be mailed at haamidi2003@yahoo.co.in) |

| #8 Nobody questions my sister's Purdah? Riiiiight. Because the Afghani women showed how much women like the gift of purdah when it was given them by the Taliban. |

| #7 This is part one of his dream I too have a dream - Part I By HAMID NILNAGI Last month a brother of ours had expressed his dream through Greater Kashmir. His dream of being an Indian and Kashmiri Muslim at once prompted me to pour out my heart too. Every one has a right to dream. People imagine good or bad, as everyone has a right to visualize whatever he or she likes because it does not cost and does not harm anyone so far they are within the confines of ones mind. But whenever dreams take any form whether words or actions they begin to show reaction. Newtonâs law finds its application here âTo every action there is an equal and opposite reactionâ. My fellow countrymen I too have a dream that one day my nation will succeed, it will overcome, and we will win. Here is a question that what I mean by my nation. It will mean different for different people. For some it is Kashmir only while for some it is Pakistan and for few others like my dreaming brother India. However my nation is something different from these visualizations. My nation encompasses the whole Islamic world from Africa to Europe, South East Asia to Arabia and Asia to Central Asia. My land âKashmirâ forms a special part of it. I visualize my land as a part of a bigger Islamic land or world. The nation constituted of Africa. Indonesia, Malaysia, Turkey, Iran, Arab peninsula upto Palestine (including Jerusalem) Pakistan, Tajkistan etc. as one world of mine. The todayâs sovereign Muslim states (though not sovereign in real sense but slave states) as its provinces. It must be such that if I start sojourn from Srinagar no one will stop me to travel to any place in my ideal Islamic world. I need no travel documents and no police will check me to traverse any part of it whether be it Grozny or West Bank or Srinagar or Christina. I dream of a single government to rule the whole world headed by one Caliph who will have no palace to sleep except an ordinary and modest place under the sky. A great man like Hazrat Umar who will be accessible to all without any guards or darbans in between. Accessible more to farmers, laborers and poor people than to riches. There will be rule of law, no one will have right to harm or kill anyone. Everyoneâs life will be protected as ordained in the book of Allah. My nation will have a national capital situated in our beloved land of Hijaz where our Caliph and his associates will guide and serve the whole ummah. Besides it will have three sub-capitals one each at Jerusalem, Kaulalampur and Islamabad where we will have headquarters of our Aerial, Naval and Armed forces respectively. In addition there will be provincial capitals where provincial Amirs will run day to day affairs of our people. The Caliph and these Amirs will serve the Ummah as per the spirit of Qurâan and will be appointed only by the national/provincial shura which will consist of Ulema (highly god fearing learned men in both fields of Islam and technology with a practical background). My land will have a national language, the language of Qurâan - Arabic, in which we will be taught all sciences whether Islamic or technological sciences. Besides, Arabic as a national language, people of my Islamic world will have their native language as additional language. I dream when Maulana Romi and Shiekh Saadi will replace Shakespere and John Milton. I dream when Baghdad, Bukhara, Samarkand, Ankara, Tehran, Kosovo, Islamabad, Dubia, Mecca, Medina, Tashkent, Groznyy, Kaulalampur, Jakarta, Khartoum, Jerusalem, Damascus, Qahira, Srinagar etc will have Universities of international standard and no student from any corner of my dream Islamic world will have any difficulty in getting admissions and studying his/her stream of like at any of these institutions at minimum cost with specially concession to economically downtrodden. I wait when these centres will replace London, Newyork, Berlin etc. I dream when our lands will again give birth to the people like Imam Bukhari, Razi, Ibn Sina, Ibn Rushd, Ibn Hazm, Ibn Khaldoon, Ibn Ishaq, Ibn Nafis, Allama Iqbal from whose works the rest of world will again learn. I dream that when mothers like Hazrat Fatima RA, Hazrat Aisha RA, Hazrat Khadija RA, Hazrat Umm Salma RA and Rabia Basri will be there. Above all I believe and hope that once again Hussain RA, Hassan RA, Khalid RA, Zubair RA and make people show that Islam neither stands for head counted democracy nor Shiekhdom of Arabia. My Islamic land will have big centres of learning where besides Islamic sciences latest technology will be taught leaving out the current western teachings. It will do away with that mad pursuit of technology that plays havoc with the moral and cultural upbringing of our children. Here I may point out Qurâan must have central focus in Islamic Sciences besides Prophetâs (SAW) sunnah which were mainly responsible before to help my people to be at the top of the world. --To be concluded (The author can be mailed at haamidi2003@yahoo.co.in) |

| #5 I wonder what happened to the part about: "in my dream, all the Jews in Israel march down to the sea, swim out as far as they can, and then drown themeselves - after, of course, they give the keys to their homes, their cars, and their banks accounts to the local Palestinians". Hey Abdul - when the oil runs out, you and your lazy fellow ragheads will once again become nomadic peasants. I wish you and yours all the joys of 12th century life - nasty, brutish and short as it may have been. |

| #4 Yea all those bad western ideas like Newton's Third Law and the conservation of energy. Most major "religions" incorperate these in their dogma someplace in as many words. Islam fails to. It's why Islamic countries are the shit holes they are. Keep dreaming fool. |

| #3 I dream that using nano-tech technology stolen from a Terminator II bot we turn the ME into a lame version of the Borg then reprogram it into a nice happy place with butterfly flitting about in the nice lush redwood forsest that replaced those yuchy desert. The stream flow with tasty Reisling and the coconuts have kalua already inside. Mecca and Mediana become Universal Studios Entertainment parks and their solar arrays shade the camel free land. Nano tech makes it all work tied in with swarm technology and the reprogramming of all living there (including sand flys)... (^8 Oh what a beautful place it could be... |

| #2 Well, wanting all that but insisting that all the Western parts of science and technology be left out is .... rather amusing. |
