Sharing a document of Pakistan’s ministry of religious affairs and interfaith harmony, a Pakistani journalist on Saturday said that persecution of minorities in the country is being done under the watch of the state. In the document that she shared on Twitter, Muslim minorities Ahmadiyas were not included in the National Commission of Minorities (NCM) citing that their issue is ‘religiously & historically sensitive’. There have been multiple reports of persecution of minorities in Pakistan including the Muslim minority Ahmadiyas, whom the state fails to recognize as a sect amongst Muslims.

  1. Very bad for Ahmadiyyah and for Pakistan
    There is no peace in Islamic countries as long as Ahmadiyyah Muslim are persecuted— therefor Islam is NOT a religion of Peace and blessing— but Islam is a religion of discriminative or RACIST.

    I pray for Ahmadiyyah’s Right

    • Islam is the one religion that is totally anti-racist. But Somi did not notice it (yet?).

      During the five daily prayers poor and rich, black and white, brown and yellow – stand side by side as equals before Allah. And this equality is enshrined in all actions with Jumma prayers, Eid prayers, Pilgrimage to Makkah, where every one wears exactly the same clothes. No expensive suits and cheap clothes

      Anyone interested what Islam says about racism? CHECK OUT: https://www.alislam.org/video/from-single-soul-islams-response-to-rise-of-racism/

      (doubt whether Somi is interested. She just repeats her own version again and again without listening to any explanations)

      • I know Rafiq that from perspective Ahmadiyyah Islam is against Racist., but when you read al Quran it is clear that Islam hate Jew and Christian.

        Quran 9:28. Say that Saudi Arabia forbid non Muslim Enter the city of Mecca— Quran say that non Muslim are unclean or Najis—- can you explain it?

        Bank Syariah forbid to hire non Muslim. Can you explain it

        There are many discrimination of verses.

        Do not delete it if you do know the answer.

      • وَ اِنۡ اَحَدٌ مِّنَ الۡمُشۡرِکِیۡنَ اسۡتَجَارَکَ فَاَجِرۡہُ حَتّٰی یَسۡمَعَ کَلٰمَ اللّٰہِ ثُمَّ اَبۡلِغۡہُ مَاۡمَنَہٗ ؕ ذٰلِکَ بِاَنَّہُمۡ قَوۡمٌ لَّا یَعۡلَمُوۡنَ ٪﴿۶﴾

        English
        And if anyone of the idolaters ask protection of thee, grant him protection so that he may hear the word of Allah; then convey him to his place of security. That is because they are a people who have no knowledge

        It does not sound very racist to me.

  2. That is Ahmadiyyah interpretation — why KSA forbid non Muslim to enter the City of Meccah-?

    Why Bank of Syariah forbid to hire non Muslim?

    Please explain it. I appreciate it

    • please ask Saudi Arabia and the particular Islamic Bank. As I have mentioned before the Islamic Bank in Geneva hired many Swiss non-Muslims. I know of more non-Muslims that are quite active in Islamic Banking.

  3. If Islamic Bank in Genewa hire non Muslim employee it means it broke Islamic law.
    Because Al Quran say that non Muslim are infidel, the enemy of Islam. God has cursed Infidel.

    What do you respond of it

    • I think this article on alislam.org will answer your question.

      quote:
      Is it true that the Quran says to not take the Jews and Christians for friends?
      (Question/Answer)
      Listen to the answer in Audio MP3 – Question/Answer 1 – Question/Answer 2
      The verse of the Holy Quran is also used to malign Islam and its teachings. I think the biggest misconception among people is that this verse refers to Christians and Jews of all times. The truth is that in addition to commandments meant for all time, the Quran also contains specific orders to Prophet Muhammad and his followers regarding the situations they were dealing with at the time that the verses were revealed. So keeping history and context in mind is extremely important when reading the Quran. [5:52] O ye who believe! take not the Jews and the Christians for friends. They are friends one to another. And whoso among you takes them for friends is indeed one of them. Verily, Allah guides not the unjust people.

      There is a fallacy that the Quran commands Muslims to not befriend Jews and Christians based on Chapter 5 verse 52. If we look at the context of the verse, we see that it refers to the lifetime of the Prophet Muhammad(sa) when Jews and Christians were at war with Muslims. If you consider enemies at war with each other, it makes perfect sense to discourage friendships between them because of that situation. Even so, the subsequent verses 58 and 59 clarify the reasons for discouraging friendships with Jews and Christians of that time, who used to make fun of Muslims for adhering to their faith. (5:58) O ye who believe! take not those for friends who make a jest and sport of your religion from among those who were given the Book before you, and the disbelievers. And fear Allah if you are believers
      Interestingly, many topics in the Quran are continued in other places for the purpose of clarification. Consider Chapter 60 verses 8-10, with the suggestion that God may bring about love between the Muslims and their enemies. [60:8] It may be that Allah will bring about love between you and those of them with whom you are now at enmity; and Allah is All-Powerful; and Allah is Most Forgiving, Merciful.
      These verses enjoin Muslims to be kind and generous towards others regardless of their religion, and that war is only permissible against hostile tribes who persecute Muslims on account of religious differences. In any case, remember that rather than creating differences, Islam teaches respect and acceptance of all prophets including Jesus and Moses, thus uniting us under one God.
      I hope it is clear now that the verse in question does not apply to the Jews and Christians of today.
      Some other verses of the Holy Quran to consider in this connection
      [5:58] O ye who believe! take not those for friends who make a jest and sport of your religion from among those who were given the Book before you, and the disbelievers. And fear Allah if you are believers;
      [5:59] And who, when you call people to Prayer, take it as jest and sport. That is because they are a people who do not understand.
      [60:8] It may be that Allah will bring about love between you and those of them with whom you are now at enmity; and Allah is All-Powerful; and Allah is Most Forgiving, Merciful.
      [60:9] Allah forbids you not, respecting those who have not fought against you on account of your religion, and who have not driven you forth from your homes, that you be kind to them and act equitably towards them; surely Allah loves those who are equitable.
      [60:10] Allah only forbids you, respecting those who have fought against you on account of your religion, and have driven you out of your homes, and have helped others in driving you out, that you make friends of them, and whosoever makes friends of them — it is these that are the transgressors.

      In other words there is of course no ‘Islamic law’ saying that non-Muslims cannot work in an Islamic Bank.

      • Rafiq— I am glad that you said:

        Quote – I hope it is clear now that the verse in question does not apply to the Jews and Christians of today.—
        Thank you Rafiq the way you respond my comment above.

        Now you agree with my comments that many verses in Al Quran cannot be applied any more in our time.

        Islamic scholars HAVE TO MARK all verses cannot be applied otherwise the bad scholars think that Muslim and Christian never be peace as long as Jews and Christian do not BELIEVE prophet Muhammad

        Fight / kill those who do not believe in Allah and not [also] in the following day and they ——- that the Bible gives to them, until they pay jizyah obediently while they are in submission. Q.9: 29.Q 9: 111., Q4: 95.

        The Messenger of Allah: I have been ordered to fight against people until they testify that there is no god but Allah. Sahih Bukhari – Vol 4, Book 52, # 196.

        Ahmadiyyah interpretation of al Quran is RIGHT
        BUT other Groups of Muslim ( Wahhabi Salafy) still apply the war time verses in the SAME AL QURAN.

        It means Al Quran is still the source of conflict .
        Do not you agree ?

  4. Rafiq, where is your answer ?
    I am so glad that you have a long explanation, but still need to admid what I said to you above.
