WHY SECTARIAN VIOLENCE ALL AROUND THE MUSLIM WORLD THESE DAYS?
In recent years the Muslim world is going through an extreme wave of sectarian violence. Ruthless killings of innocent people from one sect to another, each sect calling other sect “non-Muslim”, each sect call themselves, either Sunni, Shia, Deo Bandi, Barelvi, Wahabi and so on. It is hard to keep even a track of all of these sects. What we do not hear is these words “I am a Muslim, a Submitter to God alone and I follow only one teaching of God alone, which is Quran.
Non sense killing of other human beings without provocation is a gross sin. The only killing justified is in the course of war where people could not practice their religion freely and are being oppressed, and only if the other part has aggressed against the believers. Under no other circumstances a murder of an innocent person is justified.
Quran: [5:32] Because of this, we decreed for the Children of Israel that anyone who murders any person who had not committed murder or horrendous crimes, it shall be as if he murdered all the people. And anyone who spares a life it shall be as if he spared the lives of all the people. Our messengers went to them with clear proofs and revelations, but most of them, after all this, are still transgressing.
Not having the knowledge of Quran in Muslims lives is the main cause of these horrendous crimes being committed by so called Muslim Ummah. They are not following God’s laws, they are following only conjecture,. The most important Book for this humanity has been kept on shelves and to be recited in Arabic alone like a parrot, without understanding anything.
GOD CALLS SECTS NON-MULIMS IN QURAN
[6:159] Those who divide themselves into sects do not belong with you. Their judgment rests with GOD, then He will inform them of everything they had done.
[30:32] (Do not fall in idol worship,) like those who divide their religion into sects; each party rejoicing with what they have.
[42:14] Ironically, they broke up into sects only after the knowledge had come to them, due to jealousy and resentment among themselves. If it were not for a predetermined decision from your Lord to respite them for a definite interim, they would have been judged immediately. Indeed, the later generations who inherited the scripture are full of doubts.
