Title: Nationalism and Islam
Writer: Nazia Tul Fatah
When an ideal established a racd in human society to central position and others social and political ideal next to national ideal got to place. Nationalism plays an important role to protect a race and its culture. And it uphold the races achievement. Al-Hujurat, verses no :13
"O mankind, indeed We have created you from male and female and made you peoples and tribes that you may know one another. Indeed, the most noble of you in the sight of Allah is the most righteous of you. Indeed, Allah is Knowing and Acquainted." Thus we know Allah creats us and tribes that we may know one another. Allah knows everything. Aal-e-Imran, verses no 110 "You are the best nation produced [as an example] for mankind. You enjoin what is right and forbid what is wrong and believe in Allah . If only the People of the Scripture had believed, it would have been better for them. Among them are believers, but most of them are defiantly disobedient." So our duty is give good advice to others to do good works and forbid others not to do bad works because we have to face Allah and his punishment in afterlife. Al-Baqarah, verses no :143
"And thus we have made you a just community that you will be witnesses over the people and the Messenger will be a witness over you. And We did not make the qiblah which you used to face except that We might make evident who would follow the Messenger from who would turn back on his heels. And indeed, it is difficult except for those whom Allah has guided. And never would Allah have caused you to lose your faith. Indeed Allah is, to the people, Kind and Merciful." so as Muslim, our duty is we should become witnesses over people to all over the world. We should not quarrel and avoid cruelly, not to involved in conflict. We should save our Islamic culture and bangalee islamic culture as muslim. Bangla culture shoukd follow Quran and sunnah of prophet (s) thus we can save our nation if we protect culture of Bangladesh and her peoples. A culture become pured when it maintain its all rules according to Islam. Islam is our lifestyle, so our culture is Islam. An islamic culture established when its activity and process of system follow Quran and prophets (s) Sunnah. And this islamic culture gone to danger when a Society will break its intention and disagree with its rules. At the top of everything that we should have a pure and well-structured islamic culture not to break its structure, and to build a good structured culture we must follow Quran and sunnah of hadith. Prophet Muhammad (s) says : "when a person follow another category (cultures) people, then they belongs to that categorys people." From this hadith we may realise, if we follow others category people except Muslim, then they also belongs to others category peoples, others cultural people except Muslim. Does we want to enter another culture except Islam? Answer is: No, Never. Then please spread peace all over the world, spread Islam, cause Islam is peace. Islam is truth. Then Dont follow another cultures people, dont follow another categorys people and their culture. Because we have to give answer to Allah about all works which we have done in this life. If we do good work in this life, we will get prize in this life also in afterlife, and if we do bad work then we will get punishment in this life also in afterlife. So, we should every work according what our lord Allah is saying in Quran. We want Jannah (Heaven), right? Then we will do good work. So that we may take prize from this life and in afterlife inshallah. Surah Al Imran, verses no: 103 "And hold firmly to the rope of Allah all together and do not become divided. And remember the favor of Allah upon you - when you were enemies and He brought your hearts together and you became, by His favor, brothers. And you were on the edge of a pit of the Fire, and He saved you from it. Thus does Allah make clear to you His verses that you may be guided."
So we should keep a strong bond with all muslims. And fear Allah and obey prophets. Save ourself from fire and save others from punishment of Allah. We should not become divided and Allah ordered it. So become a pure muslim by your work. And save your nation together.
