  • Sectrarian Conflicts in Pakistan by Moonis Ahmar
    Sectrarian Conflicts in Pakistan Moonis Ahmar Abstract The history of sectarian conflict in Pakistan is as old as the existence of this country. Yet, the intensification of sectarian divide in Pakistan was observed during late 1970s and early 1980s because of domestic political changes and the implications of Islamic revolution in Iran and the subsequent adverse reaction in some Arab countries to the assumption of power by clergy operating from the holy city of Qum. The military regime of General Mohammad Zia-ul-Haq, which seized power on July 5, 1977 pursued a policy of ‘Islamization’ resulting into the deepening of sectarian divide between Sunnis and Shiiates on the one hand and among different Sunni groups on the other. This paper attempts to analytically examine the dynamics of sectarian conflict in Pakistan by responding to following issues: The background of sectarian divide in Pakistan and how sectarian polarization between the Sunni and Shitte communities impacted on state and society; the phenomenon of religious extremism and intolerance led to the emergence of sectarian violence in Pakistan; the state of Pakistan failed to curb sectarian conflict and polarization at the societal level promoted the forces of religious extremism; the role of external factors in augmenting sectarian divide in Pakistan and foreign forces got a free hand to launch their proxy war in Pakistan on sectarian grounds; and strategies should be formulated to deal with the challenge of sectarian violence in Pakistan. 2 Pakistan Vision Vol. 9, No.1 1. Introduction Sectarian issue in Pakistan is a major destabilizing factor in the country’s political, social, religious and security order.

Disengaging a militant from violence and extremist tendencies is an uphill task because of his or her ideological and political association with a cause. A number of countries have developed de- radicalization programs to deal with the issue but the extent of their success remains debatable, notwithstanding the claims made by the states. Rehabilitation of detained militants becomes an integral part of any such program as part of the prevention strategy. The prison holds crucial significance in the de-radicalization strategy as many of these programs— including those in Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and the United Kingdom—run in prisons.

  • A Glance at Qadiani Beliefs
    1 | A Glance at Qadiani Beliefs ﷽ A Glance at Qadiani Beliefs بسم ہللا الرحمن الرحیم الحمدہلل و سﻻم علی عبادہ الذین اصطفی The constitutional amendments have, as it appears, regulated the Qadiani issue in a reasonable manner. Maulana Abdul Majeed had elucidated the meaning of ‘Tahaffuz Khatm-e-Nubuwwat’ (protection in the belief of the finality of prophethood). He had thoroughly explained what ‘finality of prophethood’ means, and what it means to protect this belief. But I would nevertheless like to add some points. There shall be trials The Messenger of Allah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam had prophesied that this Ummah shall face a number of trials. عن ابی ھریرۃ رضی ہللا عنہ اَ ّن رسول ہللا صلی ہللا علیہ و سلم قال: بادرول باﻻعمال فتناً کقطع اللیل المظلم ۔ یصبح الرجل مؤمناً و یمسی کافراً، او یمسی مؤمناً و یصبح کافراً ۔ یبیع دینہ بعرض من الدنیا ۔ ]صحیح مسلم، ج ۱، ص۵۷ [ ‘On the authority of Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah radiallahu anhu: The Messenger of Allah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam said: Rush towards good deeds, before trials befall you as though they were pieces of a pitch- dark night. (During this period), a man shall be a believer in the morning and an infidel in the evening. Or he shall be a believer in the evening and an infidel in the morning. He shall sell his religion for a worldly gain.’ Just as one cannot distinguish black from white in a pitch-dark night, one shall not be able to distinguish right from wrong in this age of trials. Especially people with poor vision shall not be able to make a difference between falsehood and truth.
