@ Haris
I most certainly take full responsibility for my actions. That is why i do not attack those who are differnt from me. I do not concemn those who have stronger arguments than me. And i most certainly do not consider anybody else responsible for my own failings as a human or for any of my own actions and opinions. I would very much like to know how you have derived your conclusion that i do not.
Anyhow you gave me a nice point by point list of excuses why you attempts to change the world are constantly thwarted. That is of course what they are. They are all proof of why it's "not your fault" and "if only those evil b@st@rds would stop, everything would be peachy.
If a tactic doesn't work, dear friend, one msut adapt and find a new tactic. one must review and change. one must seek other avenues to achieve one's goal. If you are not doing that and instead putting all of your energy into blaming others for your lack of results, then you are achieving nothing and merely wasting energy on hating and condemning.
That is what our nation, and every other nation is doing. That is what most human beings do.
You it's the typical response from a 5th grade child. 'He started it", "If he wasn't doing it i wouldn't have to", "if they weren't being so mean to me, i wouldn't have to be mean to them", "i'll stop when he stops" etc etc.
i mean come on.. grow up. And i say this with all sincerity to ALL human beings in this world. Grow up and get past the 5th grade and take responsiblity for your own actions AND reactions.
here are some ways in which you can act positively in spite of the "problems" that you face
(a) we can't apply our knowledge in life, because we are denied that freedom
Utter nonsense. This country is full of minorities that are denied their right to express and practice their belief, but they manage not only to do so, but also to thrive and create a harmonious society among themselves. Being true to your belief needs no "freedom". It is something you do no matter what. the Prophet (pbuh) had no freedom to practice or preach his religion, but he never whined about it or told God that "the others wouldn't let him.
(b) I don't have tools to make it easy for me to learn a lot of stuff, a lot of facts
if you don't have the tools then look for them. and until you have found them, don't whine. Use the net, travel, seek, debate, review, mediate, pray.. do whatever it takes to get the tools. the fact that they are not being handed to you on a silver plate is no excuse. get to it chop chop. Hating and condemning takes away valuable energy from this pursuit.
(c) We don't have information readily available, as it is with other people
Oh well you poor poor thing. Information is readily available if only you will make the effort to understand it. All the information is already there in the Quran. So why don't you spend a few years in thought and prayer to find it. But no.. you want some aalim/mullah/leader to come and give you the "cliff's notes" and give you a digested understanding of the Quran. To him or to his organization you wish to swear allegiance and thus do you wish to enter Heaven... as a "part of the party of XYZ".
All the answers are there but actually finding the answers and setting your own goals is infinitely harder than blindly following XYZ's interpretation. But if you focused your energies on finding your own understanding, it would seriously take away the energy you need to hate and condemn.
(d) we are denied the freedom to implement Islami Nizam within our lives, within own country/nation, because of foreign intervention
oh my god. Foreign intervention??? this is the most tired old worn-out excuse of an excuse. Foreign intervention??
there is no force on this planet which could prevent you from implemeting islami Nizam in your own life. No power whatsoever. There are plenty of people in this country who implement Islami Nizam in their lives and there's nothing that'll stop them from that. But a "foreign devil" excuse is a great way to excuse yourself from implementing Islami Nizam in your life.. sadly it's not very convincing..
And btw if Islami Nizam is not being implemented in this nation it is the fault of the PAKISTANI POPULATION.. not of anybody else. It may be because the majority does not agree with your version of islami Nizam. it could be that you are terribly unconvincing in your arguments for your version of islami Nizam. Whatever it is, the "foreign intervention" excuse is nothing more than a sad attempt to absolve one self from one's responsiblity.
I am glad to hear of your humility regarding your level of knowledge. Only thus will a man continue to study all his life, and only thus will he find strength in his faith.
But until he has found the answers he must continue to humbly admit that he does not know everything and that his actions and understanding of faith are not perfect.
and those who are truly humble realize that they have no right or cause to hate and condemn others.
Do not give up. I commend that. Stay true to your faith and seek to find answers that strengthen it. But when you are faced with facts/circumstances/people/arguments that are stronger than yours, learn from it and expand your mind. Do not descend into the stupidity of passing blame and evading responsiblity.
