Muslim Ummah finally waking up

Ameer, Jama’t-ud-Da’wah Pakistan, Prof. Hafiz Muhammad Saeed, has said anti-Islamic elements are responsible for all the bomb blasts and terrorist activities in Pakistan, and claimed there were efforts underway to destabilize the country. He urged the rulers to review their policies and strive to unite the Muslim Ummah. He said it is imperative that all Muslim nations unite to confront the enemies of Islam and Muslims, and stressed that it is not possible to achieve peace and security within the country by trying to please foreign powers.

In his khutbah (sermon) during Salat-ul-Jumuah (Friday Prayers) at Jamia Masjid al-Qadsia he said a tour of the Middle East by the U.S. president to beg for lower oil prices was proof that the U.S. had become very weak economically. He said a wave of awakening is passing through the Muslim Ummah, therefore there was no need for Muslims to feel dejected or disheartened as Allah, subhana Hu wa Ta’ala, is changing the current state of affairs of the Muslim Ummah, and indeed the global scenario, due to the sacrifices which have been, and continue to be offered, by Muslims. He said the day was not distant when, in’sha’Allah, Muslims will rule Allah’s land.

Hafiz Saeed said Islam is a Deen (a religion without theological and political separation) of peace and security, yet Muslim nations faced the greatest strife in these times. Everyone in Pakistan too, is very upset with all the bomb blasts and terrorism and no one seems to have a solution to this situation. The rulers seem to believe that we can achieve peace by pleasing foreign powers, and the country is being destroyed in an effort to please them. The more they try to please them, the more punishment is meted out to them by Allah, subhana Hu wa Ta’ala.He said Allah’s enemies are trying to destabilize the country, while evil plots and schemes are being hatched against Pakistan’s nuclear program. He said Pakistanis are not the only ones to be upset with this baseless propaganda against the country’s defensive nuclear assets, in fact the whole Muslim Ummah is distressed and offended because of it.

Prof. Hafiz Muhammad Saeed said unity among all Muslim nations is the need of the hour. He urged Pakistan’s rulers to practice Islam in its entirety as Pakistan is the leader of the Muslim world and the whole Muslim world is ready to support it. He lamented that although Pakistan had achieved its independence on the basis of the Kalima Taiyibah (the Islamic declaration of faith), yet its rulers have always been disloyal to Allah, subhana Hu wa Ta’ala, and have always strived to run the country in accordance with Western systems. He said that lasting peace cannot be achieved in the country as long as the Quraan and Sunnah are not implemented as supreme laws of the country in accordance with the wishes of the people. He stressed that the interference of the enemies of Islam and Muslims in the internal affairs of the country will never cease until their systems are eradicated from the country
