  1. Not only soft on extremists rather support these outfits. He along with his younger brother as Chief Minister of Punjab province had been presiding over the meetings of KN (Khatme Nabuwwat) an extremist outfit against Ahmadiyya Muslim Community. Department of Auqaf Punjab province had been getting full support to commit atrocities against Ahmadiyya community of Pakistan under PML (N) rule in the province. Now he will have ample space to enact his extremist policies in whole of Pakistan. But if you analyse the philosophy preached by Mirza Masroor Ahmad, spiritual head of Ahmadiyya Muslim Community is 180 degrees apart to what Mr Nawaz preach and practice. According to Mirza Masroor Ahmad, The solution to the Pakistan current dilemma lies in following the Koranic teachings of absolute justice.He urges the Pakistani political leaders to pursue policies that are based on equality, justice, and religious freedom, and stop pursuing policies that are designed with short-sighted temporary self-gains in mind and rely on unjust and unfair exploitation of weaker segmentation of the society. As long Mr Nawaz, or for that matter any other political leader of Pakistan, will not abide by the guidance given by the spiritual leader of Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, no problem of Pakistan will ever be resolved rather will plunge the country in to more deeper crises.

  2. Very true. I noted that Sharif, having apparantly some good ideas, is falling short of real issues. He has suffered much but did not return to Allah.
    Whatever is written in the above post shows the very bad state of mind of these Sharif brothers.

    Why Shahbaz Sharif has been attending the meetings of the Khatam e Nabuwwat people?? They are mostly anti-Pakistan people. Does he not know it? And they are cruel people.

    The Unity is for Allah Almighty. Not for the prophet Muhammad s.a.w.s. We all try to act like him and become like the prophet. There is no sin in that. Khatam e nabuwwat is not any issue at all. The real issue is the life and death matter of the prophet Isa (Jesus) a.s.
    And these Khatam maulvis do not want to come to that subject. They are keeping Hazrat Isa a.s. alive in body and soul against the teaching of the Quran and hadith.
    Maudoodi sahib was leading such people.
    Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad sahib a.s. of qadian is a true messenger of Allah. He is carrying the message of Hazrat Muhammad s.a.w.s. The pakistani people are not admitting that. They are rather in enmity against that messenger who recieved Wahi from Allah in abundance in ths age.

    The people of Pakistan, Bangladesh and Indonesia are doing wrong. They not only not believe but they are Kafir i.e. enemies of the messenger. It is more than that. They are increasing in their enmity (Kufr). Their sad state is described in the last section (Ruk’u) of part three of the Quran.
    There is also described the solumn oath of allegiance that was taken from all prophets and their followers that they will believe and assist any messenger who may (who will) come after them. There is a severe warning for those who are increasing in their enmity (Kufr). Kafir means enemy of Islam. He is not any simple peaceful disbeliever who does not hurt ant one.

    Verse 2:62/63 of Quran is telling : Any one who is a Momin or a Jew or a Christian or person of any other faith, as long as he believes in Allah and the last day and does good deeds (is peaceful), his reward is with his Lord. He/she will have no fear nor shall be grieved.
    The above instruction is actually for people of other faiths so that they can be peaceful and come closer (halfway) to Islam. Thereby they will achieve complete peace that is Islam. They will become believers.
    The instruction is for the non-Muslims. But, it was necessary to include the Muslims in that verse. It cannot be that Allah will give a good advice of being peaceful to others and leave out the Muslims from that advice!!

    Sharifs have to behave themselves. Otherwise they will suffer all the more at the hands of destiny. Allah has ordered as follows:
    —————————-
    Verily, Allah commands you to make over the trusts to those entitled to them, and that, when you judge between men, you judge with justice (an takhkumoo bi al adl). And surely excellent is that with which Allah admonishes you! Allah is All-Hearing, All-Seeing. (See Verse 4:59)
    —————————
    It shows that whenever one rules (or decides matters of public), that person should judge with justice, should rule with justice. It is not said that he should rule with Sharia. He should rule with justice. That is exactly the advice being given by the Khalifah Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad sahib. It is a word of guidance for all mankind to avoid the turmoil that is afflicting mankind.
