Dear friends, the talebanic islam is not the correct islam. Why not?
Not because I say so but kindly read the book of islam ie the quran.
The taleban are a backward people who think islam is all about living like the prophet of islam as he used to live in his time according to his circumstances and situations. So you will see all muslims who are of this mindset trying to do exactly that ie they try to sit like prophet, stand like prophet, eat like prophet, sleep like prophet, travel like prophet, communicate like prophet etc etc etc.
Their reason is mainly a verses in the quran which tells that the life of the prophet is best example to follow ie 33/21.
033.021 YUSUFALI: Ye have indeed in the Messenger of Allah a beautiful pattern (of conduct) for any one whose hope is in Allah and the Final Day, and who engages much in the Praise of Allah.
003.031 YUSUFALI: Say: "If ye do love Allah, Follow me: Allah will love you and forgive you your sins: For Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful."
The question is, do these like verses in the quran tell followers of the prophet to live exactly like the prophet used to? My answer is no, they don't as per talebanic understaning.
Reasons;
1)No two people are 100% similar not even the identical twins.
2)It is not humanly possible for anyone to have 100% information about anyone 100% accurate or true.
3)It is not humanly possible for anyone to be like anyone else 100%
4)The quran also tells muslims to follow abraham and his followers using exactly the same words eg 60/4.
5)The quran states that adam wore leaves to cover his body.
020.121 YUSUFALI: In the result, they both ate of the tree, and so their nakedness appeared to them: they began to sew together, for their covering, leaves from the Garden: thus did Adam disobey his Lord, and allow himself to be seduced.
The verses like these and many other verses which tell us stories of the prophet clearly show us that each of the prophets lived the way his people used to live. If the people lived in caves, the prophets also used to live in caves. If people lived in houses the prophets also lived in houses. They ate whatever others ate and drank whatever others drank, they travelled like people of their times and communicated like the rest of the people. What they did not do was from which allah stopped them.
The later prophets did not live like their forefather prophets eg like adam, noah, abraham, moses etc etc. The stories of david and solomon tell us how they lived.
This shows very clearly that following the prophet of islam does not mean living like him but living in one's own time and doing things the way situation and circumstances demand.
In short other than doing clearly unlawful or forbidden things one is free to live as one likes. That is the way all the prophets lived.
This shows very clearly that islam is progressive not backward like taleban want us to believe. They are simply put ignorant people giving bad name to islam. They make their own unislamic laws and attribute them to islam.
Islam is based on principle of social justice and fair play in all walks of life. Now justice and fair play is not possible where a society is such as cannot meet its needs and lawful desires.
Allah says in the quran;
007.031 YUSUFALI: O Children of Adam! wear your beautiful apparel at every time and place of prayer: eat and drink: But waste not by excess, for Allah loveth not the wasters.
007.032 YUSUFALI: Say: Who hath forbidden the beautiful (gifts) of Allah, which He hath produced for His servants, and the things, clean and pure, (which He hath provided) for sustenance? Say: They are, in the life of this world, for those who believe, (and) purely for them on the Day of Judgment. Thus do We explain the signs in detail for those who understand.
In fact the quran teaches muslims to pray for having good things in this life and in hereafter.
002.201 YUSUFALI: And there are men who say: "Our Lord! Give us good in this world and good in the Hereafter, and defend us from the torment of the Fire!"
003.148 YUSUFALI: And Allah gave them a reward in this world, and the excellent reward of the Hereafter. For Allah Loveth those who do good.
016.030 YUSUFALI: To the righteous (when) it is said, "What is it that your Lord has revealed?" they say, "All that is good." To those who do good, there is good in this world, and the Home of the Hereafter is even better and excellent indeed is the Home of the righteous,-
016.041 YUSUFALI: To those who leave their homes in the cause of Allah, after suffering oppression,- We will assuredly give a goodly home in this world; but truly the reward of the Hereafter will be greater. If they only realised (this)!
016.122 YUSUFALI: And We gave him Good in this world, and he will be, in the Hereafter, in the ranks of the Righteous.
From all this one should be able to see very clearly indeed that islam in the quranic context is nowhere near talebanic islam. The talebanic islam is all about taking us back in time where as the quranic islam is all about progress and prosperity of humanity. No wonder then that all progressive nations in the world are enemies of such muslims because they do not want to live like them.
Talebanic islam is full of bad practices that turns people backward and useless for themselves and others. Not being able to meet even their own needs and lawful desires never mind doing anything thing better for other human beings, for that you need to do more than what you need for yourself ie produce surplus in economic language.
I think muslims who understand islam better should confront taleban with these like undisputable facts to bring them to their senses. They are just being silly in the extreme.
I mean look at how many poeple they have stoned to death, how can they compensate them and how can they live with that is beyond me.
