ArewaHero: I'm a Muslim insh' Allah and by his grace I'm quite disappointed at your submission as a Muslim pointing your verbal assault at the entire southwest when you can't even actually pointed out the person you're referring to is actually a Yoruba person. And even if the person was a true believer in the words of Allah wouldn't and shouldn't have responded the way you did. You actually exposed traits of tribalism and bigotry in you and your personal hatred for the Yoruba race. Are you really a Muslim? Tribalism is the pernicious and deleterious ideology that afflicts all human societies in every time period. In modern times, we know it as the spectres of racism, xenophobia, supremacism, imperialism, slavery, fascism, genocide and ethnic cleansing. In practice, it rears its ugly head in the shape of prejudice, bigotry, and discrimination. Allah has commanded us to uphold justice with all other human beings regardless of their race, religion, or identity. Rather, the religion of Islam teaches us to uphold the rights of all human beings, to walk with humility, and to leave the divine judgment to Allah alone. We would do well to remember the fates of the humble sinner and the arrogant worshipper. In other words, it is never fair to compare the best of ourselves to the worst of others, lest we fall into the destructive sin of arrogance and braggadocio. No matter what scheme is used to justify tribalism, whether race, culture, or religion, the outcome is always the same: racist practice. Whoever the tribalists designate as the out-group will suffer prejudice, bigotry, and discrimination meant to enhance the tribalists own privilege at the expense of those they deem inferior. Inna lillahi wa inna ilaihi raaji’uun! The method of tribalism is to issue blanket indictments of an entire race, culture, religion, or group of people. They will condemn an entire group for the crimes of a few, or misrepresent an entire group by only examining its worst elements. Thus, the purveyors of Islamophobia claim all Muslims are terrorists, the purveyors of anti-Semitism claim all Jews are greedy, and the purveyors of racism claim black people are natural criminals and parasites. In every case, the tribalists construct a false caricature of their victims to be the straw man of their vicious attacks. Islam teaches us to reject such blanket indictments and false generalisations. Some of the Prophet’s companions began to have bad thoughts about all of the Jews and Christians, but verses were revealed making clear distinctions the righteous and unrighteous. Allah the Most High said: “They are not all the same. Among the people of the Book (Jews and Christians) is a community standing in obedience, reciting the verses of Allah during the night and prostrating in prayer. They believe in Allah and the Last Day, and they enjoin what is right and forbid what is wrong and hasten to do good deeds. Those are among the righteous. Whatever good deeds they do will never be denied, for Allah knows well the righteous.” (Surah Ali Imran, 3:113-115) It would be wrong to negatively characterise an entire religious group with all its unique individuals and diverse interpretations. For this reason, the Prophet firmly censured the poets of his time who had a habit of excoriating entire tribes. Aisha reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: “Verily, the greatest of people in falsehood is a man who insults another man by disparaging the entire tribe.” (See Sunan Ibn Majah, 3761) In another narration, the Prophet said: “Verily, the greatest criminal among people is a poet who disparages the entire tribe.” (See al-Adab al-Mufrad, 870) Servants of Allah! If we accept blanket indictments of an entire group, then we are making a claim of collective guilt that will ultimately lead to collective punishment, and collective punishment is a crime of war. Islam rejects collective guilt and punishment, in word and deed, as innocent people may never be held accountable for the crimes of others. Allah the Most High said: “No soul earns anything except it is upon itself, and none shall bear the burdens of another.” (Surah Al-An’am, 6:164) Abdullah ibn Mas’ud reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: “No man is to be punished for the crimes of his father or his brother.” (See Sunan An-Nasa’i, 4131) So, you coming on this page to attack the southwesterners is bad of you brother. You should know better that there are still some Ummah in their mists. I have always said we should show love to those non muslims who invade our threads to insult us, our faith and the prophet. The act of Deen is not to lose our senses or calmness just to score a cheap point. The righteous path is distinct from error. May Allah forgive our misdeeds. Read the expository article on tribalism and it's ills for a better understanding. https://opinion.premiumtimesng.com/2016/01/29/prohibition-tribalism-islam-murtada-gusau/ 2 Likes |
