Religion and Blasphemy

I've been meaning to do this post since forever now. But before we start, lets get some facts straight. I'm a muslim, neither a liberal nor a conservative. Religion is a personal choice but it isn't a joke. I've my ideas and my beliefs and I don't think being a sunni, shia, wahabi, barelvi makes much difference. This post is mostly coming forward because I'm sick of all the people either acting as religious extremist and/or extreme liberals. In 1433 years we've come this far. Amazing how we decide who deserves to live and who should die. From the very beginning, Let us have Oxford online dictionary define religion and for us. 

Religion, according to its definition, is not only Islam. Now that we have clear in our heads, lets see how blasphemy is defined,

Since we already know now that Islam isn't the only religion on the planet (which we seem to have forgotten lately) blasphemy is clearly not only committed against Islam.

Islam is defined by the Oxford online dictionary as: 

Most of the people take the liberty to talk just because they have a tongue/ a medium (internet/social networking sites) they think they can comment on religion ours (islam) or others. What everybody seem to have forgotten is this Surah from the Holy Qu'ran:

Keeping the current happenings in mind, let me explain it in detail, Surah Kafiroon defines the right attitude for the people who reject faith, and faith is a matter of personal conviction. Surah further states, that believers will not worship what the non-believers bow down to, and the disbelievers will not bow down to what you believe in. And the last Ayaah - 'Lakum deen'o kum, waalee ya deen' "To you (non-believers) be your way and to me mine" in decisive that let their religion be for them, and keep practicing in what you believe in. 

I'd also like to share Treaty between our Prophet Muhammad (saww) and Chirstians, shared by Anas Razaaq initially:

I disapprove of everyone who is delusional about him/herself that they are God, and they get to decide who is/isn't a muslim. Thats for Him to decide, and don't we have a Day of Judgement promised, why are we being so cruel?

I'd also like to address, the counter argument coming from the fundamentalists - 

God and his Prophet has instructed the believers to preach goodness and stop evil, and in return believers have been promised great rewards. The Hadith states that, evil should be stopped with power of hand, if that isn't possible, stop the evil with negotiation (power of tongue/coversation) and if that isn't possible the believer should dislike/disapprove (hate) the evil with his heart only. Nowhere in the Hadith I was able to find the hierarchy of the said actions. Say why would anyone start with killing/burning other people instead of preaching them against the evil first?

For example, When a child does something wrong, parents/guardians don't start with spanking them or punishing them right away, do they? There is a logical way to teach/preach. We as muslims have probably forgotten that it exists. Our sole emphasis is on:

'Ammar bil maaroof ohnaahee unn almunqir' and we have absolutely given up on practicing Islam in real sense and with logic. If we are true believers, why do we forget that, Allah (God) has promised the protection of Holy Qu'ran Himself? Evidence:

We, Muslims, have forgotten to guard our faith against our own evil and think it is more important for us correct others (that too, without correcting our own selves).

Now the other kind of extremist, the liberals! 

Today in the afternoon, I came across the link:

I don't even know how to react. Mostly because people like Veena Malik and Lady Gaga are respected and this person didn't even think twice before he abused a national mufti. If this is Liberalism, I'm better off being a conservative. Because I'd chose the lesser evil. His ending words, "Rab raaa-kha, jey rabb hai" Clearly if his father was a paanch waqt ka namaazi, he forgot to teach his son one minor thing, trust and faith in God. This person doesn't even know that 'Iblees' aka Shaitaan was/is NOT an angel (Farishta) but a Jinn. And there he considers himself relevant and important enough to comment on religion. 

What people forget is a thin line between believing and disbelieving. I'd never want to be one of the people, who doubt Allah's existence. Not now, not ever. I'm not quoting anything from the Qu'ran for liberals, not because I don't see any hope in them, but because I don't see any use arguing with people who's argument can go as low as saying, "When you like following the Sunnah of Holy Prophet so much, you should be calling Pakistan, Bakistan, because that how he would have said it."

I have no words. Nothing to say to people who make fun of Prophet Muhammad (saww). Our Creator loves the Prophet and we as his creation are making fun of his beloved Muhammad (saww)? We deserve everything Pakistan is going through.

"O believers! Take not as friends those upon whom is Allah's wrath. They are indeed despaired of the Hereafter as the infidels are despaired of the inmate of the graves"
