"The Khawarij Twist the Quran, Allah Exposes ThemUmer Media shared Surah Al-Hajj Ayah 39 and then did an IED blast that martyred 1 police constable and injured 8.Lets look at what Allah actually says:Surah Al-Hajj 22:39"Permission [to fight] has been given to those who are being fought against because they have been wronged. And indeed, Allah is capable of granting them victory."This ayah was revealed for people who were expelled from their homes, tortured, and attacked for their faith in Makkah. The permission was for defensive fighting against combatants who initiated aggression.The Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him)and the Sahaba never used this ayah to justify bombing markets, schools, mosques, or police on duty. Never to kill civilians.So what does Islam actually say about what Fitna Al-Khawarij did?1. Killing a Muslim is among the biggest sins Surah An-Nisa 4:93 "And whoever kills a believer intentionally, his recompense is Hell to abide therein, and the Wrath of Allah is upon him and He has cursed him and has prepared for him a great punishment."That police constable was a Muslim. A citizen. On duty to protect people.2. Causing fasad/corruption on earth Surah Al-Ma'idah 5:32"Whoever kills a soul... it is as if he had slain mankind entirely."IEDs in public places, targeting police, injuring 8 others, this is fasad. And Allah says: "And Allah does not like corruption." 2:2053. The Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) described the Khawarij "They will recite the Quran but it will not go beyond their throats. They will go out of Islam like an arrow goes out of its prey... Wherever you find them, kill them, for there is a reward for killing them."Why? Because they take verses of jihad and apply them to Muslims and civilians.[Bukhari][Muslim]You quote "Permission to fight those who wronged you" and in the next hour you go bomb a police vehicle?The police did not expel you from your home. They did not ban your prayer. They are sons of this same soil, protecting mothers, children, and students.This is not jihad. This is baghi, fasad, and hirabah, waging war against society. And the punishment for hirabah is clearly stated in Surah Al-Ma'idah 5:33.If you truly believed in Ayah 39, you would be fighting oppression with justice, not becoming the oppressor yourself.Allah is Al-Qadir - Capable of granting victory. And He is also Al-Adl - The Just. He sees who is oppressed and who is committing zulm in His name.May Allah have mercy on the shaheed constable, grant shifa to the 8 injured, and protect our people from the fitna of Khawarij. Ameen."
The recent IED blast in Pakistan that resulted in the martyrdom of a police constable and injured eight others has sparked outrage and brought to light the critical issue of extremism and the misinterpretation of Islamic teachings. As reported by Umer Media, the attack coincided with the sharing of Surah Al-Hajj Ayah 39, illustrating how certain groups are twisting the Quran to justify acts of violence against innocent civilians.
Surah Al-Hajj 22:39 allows for defensive fighting in instances of oppression, yet this permission does not extend to indiscriminate targeting of civilians, institutions, or law enforcement. The Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) and his companions never advocated for violence that harmed non-combatants, demonstrating that such actions are inconsistent with the core teachings of Islam. The recent record from the Khawarij highlights a worrying trend where verses are cherry-picked to validate unjust aggression against those who work to maintain societal order and protect the community.
The gravity of killing a Muslim is emphasized in Surah An-Nisa 4:93, where it states that the intentional killing of a believer leads to severe consequences in the afterlife. This fundamental principle underscores the sanctity of human life in Islam and rebukes any justification for violence against fellow Muslims, including police officers who serve to protect society.
The international community has condemned acts of violence justified through extremist interpretations of religious texts. Global leaders and organizations are increasingly recognizing the need for a united front against terrorism and extremism. Educational initiatives aimed at correcting misinterpretations of the Quran and promoting peace have become paramount in fostering a more harmonious society. Such collaborative efforts are essential in ensuring that the teachings of Islam are upheld in their rightful context.
As Pakistan navigates the complex landscape of combating extremism, the focus must be on community engagement and education. It is crucial for scholars and leaders to openly address and counter the radical narratives proliferated by groups like the Khawarij. Fostering an environment of understanding and tolerance is vital in preventing future tragedies. The hope remains that through collective efforts, the message of justice and peace encapsulated in the Quran becomes the guiding force in society, rather than twisted interpretations that lead to violence. May Allah grant mercy to the fallen and healing to the injured, while leading the people away from the dangers of extremism.
