Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim
Introduction:
People
of all religions are observing their own religion In Bangladesh peacefully. In
this situation, this Ulama Conference is accepting following recommendations
against those who are destroying the peace and discipline of the country
through creating different chaotic activities including bomb blast, terrorism
and assassination; and trying to hinder natural lifestyles of the people badly
creating panic and frightening environment.
1. Who
want to disorder natural environment spoiling peaceful environment; create
chaos and harm, they are enemies of Islam. They deserve severe punishment in
the hereafter. It is needed, if necessary, to take serious steps to stop their
misdeeds. Allah Taa'la says in the Holy Quraan: “The recompense of those who
wage war against Allah and His Messenger and do mischief in the land is only
that they shall be killed or crucified or their hands and their feet be cut off
on the opposite sides, or be exiled from the land.” (Al-Ma'idah:33)
2. Allah
Taa'la says in the Holy Quraan: ''that if anyone killed a person not in
retaliation of murder, or (and) to spread mischief in the land - it would be as
if he killed all mankind, and if anyone saved a life, it would be as if he
saved the life of all mankind.'' (Al-Ma'idah:32). Presently, those who are
killing human being by bomb blasts or any other illegal ways are the killers of
whole mankind. They are not only the enemies of Islam; rather they are enemies
of whole mankind.
3. If
any kinds of enmity arise toward any country, nation or race due to any cause,
there is no permissibility in Islam to treat them with injustice ways. Allah
Ta’ala says: ''and let not the enmity and hatred of others make you avoid
justice. Be just: that is nearer to piety, and fear Allah. Verily, Allah is
Well Acquainted with what you do''. (Al-Mumtahina:8-9)
4. In
a peaceful society, where all citizens fully enjoy their social, economic and
religious rights, creation of anarchy is not approvable by any means. In such
cases peaceful co-existence policy is a duty of every citizen. Jihad, Qital or
fighting of Islam aims at establishing peace, safety and security, not at
destroying them. Once a man asked Sa’ad (R.) : has not Allah Ta'ala said :
“fight against them until temptation is removed and 'Deen' becomes for Allah
only”. Then Sa’ad said: ''We have fought until temptation has been removed and
you and your companions want to create temptation'' (Sahih Muslim). It is clear
that there is no scope for the creation of anarchy in a civilized, stable and
peaceful society.
5. It
is one of the major responsibilities of the state to take measures according to
rules against terrorists after arresting them in order to ensure peace and
security of the common people of the country. Today's conference is fervently
appeal to all concerned to discharge this responsibility properly.
6. It
is very necessary to hand over the persons carrying out bomb explosions and
terrorist activities in peaceful atmosphere. This conference fervently appeals
to all peace-loving citizens : if they know their whereabouts and activities
they should inform the same to law enforcing agencies.
7. Islam
is a simple and well-balanced code of life. Extremism is not acceptable in
Islam. Allah wishes easiness for His servants not hardship for them Allah Ta’ala says: “Allah wants easiness for
you; not hardship for you.” (Surah Al- Baqarah: 185)
8. Recently
we have been learning about confused explanation of Islam, Iman, Kufr, Nifaq,
Shirk, Jahiliah and Jihad from some persons. Consequently extremism arises in
the society. This conference strongly believes that superficial knowledge about
the different important aspects of Islam and the lack of proficiency in Arabic
language are attributable to this confusion and erroneous explanations. So,
this conference fervently calls all people of the country to reject those who
are spreading confusion among the people by putting up strange explanation of
different aspect of Islam disregarding the views of the authentic scholars.
9. Because
of extremist attitude and superficial knowledge, a group of people trying to
establish Islamic Government through violence instead of the disciplined codes
prescribed by our religion. But unfortunately such extreme views have been
receiving undue circulation among the common people due to the lack of proper
understanding of 'Islam' and 'Shariah' from the authentic sources of reliable
Islamic scholars, books and publications. This conference urges upon all
concerned to be careful of acquiring knowledge from such half-educated people.
This conference also advises all concerned to consult knowledgeable Ulamas for
perfect and unequivocal knowledge about all aspects of 'Shariah'.
10. Before
taking measures against anyone on charge of bomb explosions and terrorism, it
is very essential to make proper investigation against the charge according to
the rules, so that Justice is not denied and Human Rights is not violated.
11. People
arrested on charge of their involvement in any act of terrorism or indiscipline
are considered innocent until their crimes are proved. It is, therefore, not
lawful by no ways to term any body as terrorist or to dishonor him carrying out
propaganda against him.
12. It
is not desirable to arrest any citizen for harassment or oppress him in remand
without any witness and evidence. It is also not desirable to create terrible
and frightening environment in the society in the name of arrest.
13. It
is very necessary to take enough measures to rectify the spirit and thought of
citizens who choose self destructive way of terrorism and explosions inspired
by the wrong faith and idea. This
conference calls the Government to keep it’s door of negotiation and
forgiveness open if anyone wants to leave this kinds of crime and come back to
the right path.
14. Bomb
explosions, terrorism and suicide attack is a national problem which deserves
unified effort. This conference believes that the cordial effort of every
conscience citizen of the country can make the problem solved without blaming
each other. So, the conference fervently calls people of all levels including
political parties, religious leaders and leaders of different professional
organizations and journalists of Electronic and Print media to come forward to
solve the problem.
15. According
to Islam suicide is a Kabirah (Great Sin). If anyone kill himself his
destination will be the Jahannam (Hell). Allah Taa’la says: “And you shall not
kill yourselves. Allah is merciful to
you”. The messenger of Allah said: “Who make suicide by any instrument of this
Earth; he will be punished in the Hereafter by the same thing”. The messenger
of Allah also said: “A person was wounded in the Jihad and he made suicide for
not enduring the pain of wound, then Allah Taa’la said: “My servant took his
life himself early, so I made my Jannah (Heaven) prohibited for him”.
So,
according to Islam, those who are killing themselves by making suicide attacks
in Bangladesh
اللهم وفقنا لما
تحب وترضى من القول والفعل والعمل والنية والإرادة والهدى- إنك على كل شيئ قدير.
