Kanthapuram, mainstream political parties, and Muslims.
Mainstream political parties want Muslims who are as far removed from Islam as possible…
They want merely “communal” Muslims.
They want Muslims whose faith has drained away — mere ritual-observing, customary, caste-like Muslims.
In other words, they want salt that has lost its saltiness.
They want Muslims who are just stones with only the color of salt.
They want Muslims who are mere stones and pebbles, not seeds that can sprout.
So they need to turn Muslims into mere stones and pebbles.
Let me begin with an example.
The two Samastha factions (the AP and EK Sunni parties) are the largest parties among Muslims in Kerala.
Two parties that exploited people by presenting society’s ignorance, and the superstitions and un-Islamic customs that arose from that ignorance, as if they were Islam itself.
Those who, going beyond Islamic texts and sources, sold and profited from the sentiments of the ignorant by using “our elders did it this way” as justification and proof.
The vast majority of Muslims in Kerala stand behind these two Samastha factions.
Did the vast majority of Kerala’s Muslims align themselves behind these two Samastha factions because they had learned or studied anything about Islam, or because they wanted to present and implement Islam according to its true essence?
No.
They did so only as followers and imitators, without learning or knowing anything about Islam.
Do these two Sunni factions have any Islamic goal at all?
No.
The literal meaning of “manda” (fool) is “one with a head/mind,” “one with intelligence.” But when someone is called a “manda,” it means the opposite — “one without intelligence.” In the same way, these two Sunni factions — to whom the Sunnah does not apply, who act contrary to the Sunnah, who call un-Islamic customs “Sunnah” — are exactly like that.
What do these two Sunni factions stand for?
To protect and hold firmly onto the superstitions and un-Islamic customs that crept in through ignorance.
Just as Indian fascists turn baseless stories and lies into the sentiments of the people, these two Sunni factions are groups that fabricate baseless stories and lies, turn them into the sentiments of the ignorant Muslim masses, and exploit them for gain.
Two Sunni factions who say that this society must continue in the same conservatism it always had, carrying forward those un-Islamic customs exactly as before — even if doing so goes against true Islam.
Through this, even to the extent of lavishly protecting a priestly class dressed in white robes who deceive people and live off practices that do not actually exist in Islam but crept in because of the Muslim community’s ignorance of Islam.
Two Sunni factions that, in place of the standing idols that upper castes and the fascists who follow them have long used to deceive people, gave Muslims “idols lying down” instead — turning graves into objects of veneration — thereby diverting the Muslim community from the true essence of Islam.
Two Sunni factions that paved the way for a group of white-robe-wearing people to live lavishly and free of charge, by making it seem as though a priesthood that does not exist in Islam is in fact mandatory in Islam.
It should be remembered that these two Samastha factions were opposed to women’s education.
They insisted that women should not go outside except to visit graves — not for any need but to fill the donation boxes there and for the sake of these superstitious and un-Islamic demands — and that women should not enter mosques.
They were the ones who prevented and opposed the study of the Quran with its meaning.
Both these groups always stood together behind the scenes with power politics, eager to enjoy the “bone and thorn” (the leftover scraps) of power.
But Indian political parties like exactly these kinds of people.
Not merely because they are after votes.
But also because their aim is to ensure that Muslims never achieve upliftment in any way.
That is why Indian political parties present as great leaders and scholars in the mainstream those Muslim leaders who are utterly without any stance or standard — mere “potatoes” (dimwits).
For what purpose?
Because their goal is for Muslims to always remain, under such utterly dimwitted leaders, as nothing more than a people like froth — without substance.
With the aim that Muslims should become and remain an ideal-less, goal-less community fit to be kicked around by anyone, anywhere, at any time.
Because they want Muslims to be like a flock of sheep — led only where these leaders lead them, slaughtered wherever and whenever these leaders wish.
For this, they will give it a name like “secularism.”
That is, for them, Muslims should only be nominal, census-category Muslims — Muslim merely by name.
Beyond that, they should not become Muslims who have studied Islam deeply and are closely bound to it.
Muslims should not be educated or informed.
Educated and informed Muslims will be portrayed by them as extremists and communalists, and kept at a distance.
Muslim organizations that give priority to education and knowledge, and that work to eliminate superstitions and priestly exploitation, will only be seen by Indian political parties as extremists and communalists.
Muslim organizations that work by making clear that Islam is a complete ideology and comprehensive life-plan and solution — handling economic, political, familial, and social matters — will only be seen by Indian political parties as extremists and communalists.
Kanthapuram like leaders, Leaders and scholars who exploited ignorance prove…..
That they are the :
Leaders and scholars who turned ignorance into “knowledge.”
Leaders and scholars who sank down to the level of ignorance, and grew by finding fertilizer and water within that very ignorance.
Leaders and scholars who grew by deceiving people — keeping an ignorant society trapped in ignorance while calling it “protection of the faith” (deeni protection).
