Burma: Where were the Muslims?

Simply envision it is 2100 CE, long after we are on the whole dead. A school tyke is considering Muslim history of the most recent century. He finds to a great degree exasperating occasions that occurred toward the start of that century. More than a million people were aggrieved with murders, removals from homes, and disrespecting of Muslim ladies. The most aggravating actuality is that it was not that Muslim armed forces battled and lost; these were basically uneven fights with multitudes of killers, attackers, and hooligans exploiting pure and defenseless individuals. 

Where were the Muslims, he ponders. He finds that regardless of a fruitful exertion by their enemies to diminish their numbers through contraception, there were as yet 1.2 billion of them on the planet. They were on all landmasses, in all nations. More than 50 nations on the planet had dominant part Muslim populaces and Muslim rulers. Did they have no armed forces or weapons? In reality, they had enormous armed forces and parcel of weapons. One nation was even an atomic power and had effectively created ballistic rockets that could hit faraway targets. Another Muslim nation with a major armed force was quite recently by the pained region. A portion of the nations were exceptionally rich. Together, they had adequate assets to stop the outrages. 

Perhaps they didn't get the news of the unfortunate occasions in time. All things considered, they had great correspondence gear. Despite the fact that they didn't generally control that hardware and those controlling it used to shading and contort things a great deal, yet Muslims wherever could hear and see the repulsions confronted by their kindred siblings and sisters as they were occurring. They saw their situation, they heard their cries, however not a fighter moved from the Muslim world to help those whose lives, respects, and properties were being trampled essentially on the grounds that they were Muslims. 

Perhaps they had turned out to be absolutely apathetic regarding the predicament of their colleagues. Possibly they had lost their confidence — no, lost their spirit — - so they simply did not give it a second thought. As a matter of fact, in spite of every one of their issues, singular Muslims everywhere throughout the world were still profoundly worried about their colleagues. They discussed them. They fund-raised for them. They appealed to God for them. They frantically requested of whoever they thought could offer assistance. 

At that point what was going on? The understudy is confused. As he keeps on burrowing through authentic records, he discovers something inquisitive. As the slaughters were proceeding in Burma, an Islamic organization together was caught up with assaulting Muslims in a Muslim nation. 

Their adversaries had surely done their part in touching off the flares of those internecine wars, however they had attempted that all through history. The charming improvement that encouraged this disaster was an unusual new belief system that had grasped the Muslim world. The staggering philosophy was that of the country state. As per it every Muslim nation was a free country. Thus they progressed toward becoming. Each with its own particular national banner, national song of devotion, national days, and national interests. As Muslim governments took authenticity from the idea of country state, they owed their devotion to it additionally — - when they didn't owe their faithfulness to their remote bosses. In the corridors of energy, the ummah kicked the bucket. Muslim pioneers talked about the ummah however just as a remote, stylized substance. The administrations and armed forces were there to ensure the national limits and national interests; no one took care of the limits or interests of the ummah. 

The killings, incendiarisms, and disrespecting of ladies in Kashmir was not the worry of anybody with the exception of Pakistan and that simply because the territory was a vital wellspring of Pakistan's water. Pakistan says it stretches out good and strategic help to Kashmiris for being Muslim siblings yet water source likewise constitutes its national intrigue. The brutalization of Muslims in Palestine was not simply the worry of anybody aside from the Palestinians themselves. Indeed, even Jerusalem and Al-Aqsa had turned out to be Palestinian issues. Burma was duty of nobody, since it didn't exist at all on the new maps of national interests. 

It was an odd belief system, sent out by the pilgrim controls so their hold would stay solid even after they had formally surrendered the provinces. However, in those interesting days individuals ordinarily had one of two responses to anything that originated from their previous pioneer experts; they either invited it, supposing it would bring them advance and joy, or they moved toward becoming surrendered to it supposing it unavoidable. Notwithstanding, the philosophy of country states was precisely contradicted to the Islamic thought of one ummah and life was torn between the clashing ideas. Haj symbolized the polarity. It was the yearly update that Muslims are one individuals, as devotees from everywhere throughout the world wore a similar two-sheet dress, circumbulated the same Ka'ba, making a similar duty "O Allah I am here". It had likewise been transformed into an indication of the most essential having a place of a traveler: his international ID. Without that authentication of having a place with a country express nobody could perform Hajj or even move starting with one point then onto the next in the holy land. 

The understudy at last comprehends the ideological trap that ensured the tragedies of Burma and Bosnia and Kosova and Iraq and Afghanistan and ... what's more, a perpetual rundown. In any case, he can't make sense of why did Muslims of the period enable themselves to be so caught. Did they not recollect the Qur'anic assertion, "The Adherents are but rather a Solitary Fellowship." [AlHujarat, 49:10]. Did they not recall the Qur'anic summon, "Hold quick together the Rope that Allah has stretched out for you and don't debate among yourselves." [Aale-Imran, 3:103].Did they not remember the hadith, "Muslims are one body. If any part of the body is suffering the whole body feels the pain." Did they not realize that the overwhelming thought of country states was really making perpetual divisions in the ummah? What was experiencing their brains? Why did they enable themselves to be detained in the confine of that stinking patriotism? He surrenders. History is so loaded with interests!
