The religious parties are
blamed to be responsible for the sectarianism, which was the cause of ever increasing
terrorism, killings and subversive activities. How the Jamaat suggests to end these
subversions carried out in the name of religion?
Jamaat worked hard to constitute the
"Milli Yakjehti Council" (M.Y.C.). The objective was to eliminate the seeds of
sectarianism. All concerned were made to sit on one table and sort it out. A code of
conduct was also prepared. Unfortunately the "hands" that are busy tearing the
bonds of unity and are bent upon destruction, proved more powerful and resourceful than
the forces of unity. The government and the bureaucracy also have a hand in it, because
they resort to the old tactic of "divide and rule". The Sectarian religious
groups have always been lined up against each other. It is the blessing of Allah that
Jamaat-e-Islami is absolutely clean in this respect. We offer our prayers in every
mosque, following the "imam" no matter what "fiqh" he belongs to.
Jamaat has in its ranks members belonging to Shia, Sunni, Devbandi, Brelvi and Ahlehadith
schools of thought. We request all to join hands in matters that are common and set aside
differences, because that is the only way to face the present day challenges. Quaid-e-Azam
stressed upon the same formula of unity in every speech that Muslims believing in one God,
one Prophet (p.b.u.h) and one Qur'an should become one millat and avoid dualism and
hypocrisy. Allama Iqbal gave the same message through his poetry that the Muslim millat
has one God, one Prophet(p.b.u.h.), one Book and one Ka'ba. These commonalties can bring
the millat together. Those who fan the differences at a time when we are facing
numerous global threats, are a source of shame for the whole millat. Those who kill
innocent people in the mosques and "imambarghas" are open agents of the enemies
of Islam.
