Mufti Syed Ziauddin Naqshbandi's address at Masjid Abul Hasanaat

Islam is a universal religion.  Through its fair system and its just rules, it assures success and betterment of the whole mankind.  The fact is that regardless of whether it is an Islamic country or a non-Islamic one, Muslims only spread the message of love and they give the message of peace with their speech and their actions.  The very existence of Muslims is for the benefit of others and to provide relief to others.  Muslims are not terrorists or a threat to peace but are upholders of peace and provide comfort to the entire humanity.  This is because the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) has taught us to completely stay away from trouble and unrests and to be just in all situations.  Islam teaches one to be just and fair even with enemies.  Allah Ta’ala says:

 

And let not your hatred of a folk who (once) stopped your going to the inviolable place of worship seduce you to transgress (Surah Al Maida-2)

 

These are the words of Mufti Syed Ziauddin Naqshbandi Qadri, Professor of Islamic Law, Jamia Nizamia and Founder/Director, Abul Hasanaat Islamic Research Center in the weekly lecture at Masjid Abul Hasanaat, Jahanuma.

 

Mufti Sahab said that Islam permits social relations, trade dealings like buying, selling, mortgage, bail bonds and other affairs with Non-Muslim compatriots and has stressed truthfulness and fairness in all dealings and prohibits from lying, deception, cheating, etc. 

 

He said that we should establish relations with our non-Muslim countrymen.  Islam has never been an enemy of any nation or religion.  From Arabia to Asia, Europe to Africa, Africa to Asia wherever Muslims went, they carried the message of peace and safety, of justice and equity and of kindness and benevolence. 

 

They changed the atmosphere of the society which was filled with fear and terror to one of peace and security.  Their impeccable morality, the fairness of their dealings, their equity and integrity, their love and brotherhood, their clemency and warmness cleared the clouds of oppression and enmity and the flowers of justice and fairness blossomed forth.

 

When the people of Makkah were in the clutches of a famine, the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) sent them 500 Dinar to aid them in their hour of need.

 

Hadhrat Mufti Sahab said that what more can be a greater example of brotherhood and humanity that the Prophet of Mercy (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) extended help even to those people who oppressed and hurt Muslims to no end, to the point.  He said that Islam is strictly against terrorism and has accorded protection to their life and property and the right to lead a dignified life.
