Can Sufi Islam Counter The Taleban?

Taliban: The word Taliban is derived from the word “talib” which means a needy, one who requires something. Everyone of us, the whole mankind is in the process of making efforts to get something. Some of us struggle to get food, some in the process of finding knowledge, some of us making efforts for our material needs. Human by his nature is very unthankful to God. He is never happy with what he already has. His desire of showing himself better than others is a disease. Some of us make efforts in envy, to get better livings standards than others. Therefore everyone of us is a “Taliban”. To associate the word with only one specific group is wrong. A militant can been a Taliban, a professor and can be ME or U. We associate the “militant” only with a group in Afghanistan. This is wrong. Those poor people have very low living standards. Do they ask us for money, luxuries etc? No. So why can’t we let them live the way they want. You put your hand in a beehive. What you expect from the bee? “TO PROTECT THEIR HOMES and the HONEY “. Anyone who kills innocent mankind commits a sin. They don’t have Advance technologies like the Powerful media some of the BIGGIES got to communicate their views about;…… them.

Jesus (P.B.U.H) said, “Do not judge” [Matthew 7:1-5].

Sufi: “The doctrine of belief that direct spiritual apprehension of truth or union with one’s Creator. “All that is, is God”, rest is all illusion and deception. I believe the purpose of human creation is to worship Allah. So the way article represent Sufism I don’t totally disagree with it. I only say that Allah sent human on earth to distinguish which one of us is better than the other in his deeds.

The Quran :

 Surah Mulk(67) verse no.2 :

” The One who created death and life for the purpose of distinguishing those among you who would do better. He is the Almighty, the Forgiving. “

Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) Said (Sahahi Al Bukhari Volume 9, Book 89, Number 252 ):

Narrated `Abdullah bin `Umar: Allah’s Apostle said, “Surely! Everyone of you is a guardian and is responsible for his charges: The Imam (ruler) of the people is a guardian and is responsible for his subjects; a man is the guardian of his family (household) and is responsible for his subjects; a woman is the guardian of her husband’s home and of his children and is responsible for them; and the slave of a man is a guardian of his master’s property and is responsible for it. Surely, everyone of you is a guardian and responsible for his charges.”

Therefore I think, Its not right that one sits all his life in a shrine of a Saint (May Allah bless him paradise). He must fulfill the responsibilities and charges Allah has asked him to fulfill. This is “sufism” . Your explanation is incomplete, kindly review this and if consider appropriate add to your article.I contribute my views in good gesture, Thank You.

• When truth has no burning, then it is philosophy, when it gets burning from the heart, it becomes poetry.

• It is the lot of man to share in the deeper aspirations of the universe around him and to share his own destiny as well as that of the universe, now by adjusting himself to its forces, now by putting the whole of his energy to his own ends and purposes.

• The scientific observer of Nature is a kind of mystic seeker in the act of prayer.
