SPREAD AND DOWNFALL OF ANY RELIGION

DEAR HAMID MAHMOOD,

FOR A RELIGION LOT OF GOOD AND BAD TIMES COMES LIKE IN LIFE OF A SINGLE HUMAN. MANY TIMES EXISTANCE OF THAT RELIGION COMES IN DANGER AND ONLY ONETHING CAN SAVE THAT RELIGION , THAT IS "HIGH LEVEL OF SPIRITUALITY". MANY TIMES RELIGION IS SAVED BUT SOME CHANGE COMES IN ITS STRUCTURE AND BASIC FUNDAS.

ISLAM IS A NEW AGE RELIGION HAVING MAINLY TWO BOOKS "KORAN AND HADEETH". ALL THE ISLAMIC SCHOLARS STUDY GOES AROUND THESE TWO BOOKS ONLY AND THEY DO NOT WANT ANY CHANGE AND REFOMATION IN THESE BOOKS AND INTERPRETING THESE ACCORDING TO THEIR OWN CONVENIENCE.

SO FAR ISLAM HAS SEEN ONLY A BRIGHT PERIOD MEAN ALL THE TIME PROGRESSING AND SPREADING ALL OVER THE WORLD. BAD PERIOD YET HAS NOT BEEN FACED YOU CAN SAY A PERIOD OF TEST WHEN SPIRITUALITY COMES FORWARD TO SAVE THE EXISTANCE.

60% OF TOTAL MUSLIM POPULATION IS ILLITRATE NOT KNOWING EVEN THE SPELLING OF HIS NAME. THESE ARE MUSLIMS BY NAME AND HAVING A HANDSOME AMOUNT OF VOTE POWER TO GUIDE THE POLITICS OF ANY COUNTRY. YOU IMAGINE HOW A RELIGION HAVING 60% ILLITRATE POPULATION CLAIMS ITSELF A FASTEST GROWING RELIGION. HOW CAN YOU EXPECT A SENSE OF SPIRITAULITY FROM THESE 60% MUSLIMS. OTHER THAN THIS A BIG POPULATION OF EDUCATED IDIOTS IS THERE WHO ARE FOLLOWING DR. NAIK AND TALIBANS BLINDLY. SO YOU CAN UNDERSTAND THE CAUSE OF SPREADING ISLAM IN WHOLE WORLD.

THIS ILLITERACY IS THE REAL POWER OF ISLAM, SECONDLY THE POWER OF GUNS AND HARD FUNDAS WHICH NEVER ALLOW A PERSON TO LEAVE ISLAM WHETHER HE IS BORN MUSLIM OR CONVERTED IN ISLAM. THIRDLY THE INCOME OF PETRO DOLLARS WHICH IS COMING IN GOOD FLOW DUE TO RISE IN OIL PRICES AND THIS INCOME IS WITHOUT HARD WORK AND MONOPOLY OF MUSLIM ROLE MODEL COUNTRIES. THESE ARE THE THREE STRONG PILLARS OF ISLAM.

AS A NEUTRAL PERCEPTION, ISLAM IS VERY FAR AWAY FROM SPIRITUALITY IF WE MINUS "SOOFISM" FROM ISLAM. OTHERWISE IT IS VERY HARD TO FOLLOW ISLAMIC FUNDAS. WHEN THE TIME OF TEST WILL COME , THESE THREE PILLARS WHICH I HAVE MENTIONED WILL LOOSE THEIR GROUNDS THEN YOU CAN NOT IMAGINE THE NEW SHAPE OF ISLAM WITH DIFFERENT DIVERSITIES AND DIVIDE IN DIFFERENT FACTIONS LIKE HINDUISM AND OTHER CIVILIZATIONS.

THIS MAY HAPPEN IN COMING 50-60 YEARS OR YOU CAN SAY IN 200 YEARS BUT SURELY YOU WILL SEE SYPTOMS OF CHANGE IN NEAR FUTURE IN YOUR LIFETIME. IF YOU ARE REALLY INTERESTED TO SAVE THIS RELIGION AS IT IS, THEN REFORM YOURSELF IMMEDIATELY AND ADOPT SPIRITUALITY AND SOOFISM TO BE ACCEPTABLE TO OTHER NON MUSLIMS.
