“Quran is The Greatest Proclamation of Liberty!” Eradicate Poisonous Faith Through Quran Lectures
Salaam Dear All,
Firstly, I wish to state that my understanding of verses such as 22:41 says that the “Administration” or “Central Authority” would not freely distribute wealth to its citizens without them working for it. I believe it says that the “Central Authority” would not BLOCK certain people from working and having fair access to the wealth that is available in the economy. One way of hoarding wealth and keeping it away from certain people is to DENY THEM fair employment opportunities which in turn DEPRIVES THEM of the opportunity to fairly obtain the available wealth in the land. I am of the humble opinion that the Administration/Central Authority are the ones to provide basic education, shelter and health services to the citizens of the land.
One of the reasons I believe ALL people should work (instead of the administration “freely” distributing wealth) is because there are ayaat in the Quran in which we are told to “Give Away The Excess” which would go to the destitute and social services. If the wealth is freely distributed to everyone, then all would be on equal level and there would be no destitute ones to give our excess provisions to.
Lastly, I have a question concerning Allama Parvez and Quaid-e-Azam…
If Allama Parvez is considered the forgotten comrade of Mohammed Ali Jinnah, is it safe to say that Allama Parvez was the “Quranic Ideoloque” of the Pakistan Movement and Mohammed Ali Jinnah was the “Political Visionary”? And if this is so does that mean this could bring us closer to understanding the terms “Nabi” and “Rasool” and the relationship between the two and the roles they each play in establishing a Quranic Society?
I hope my question is understood.
Salaam,
Damon.
ASARULISLAM’S COMMENT: I think distinctions between phrases of ‘political visionary’ and ‘ideologue’ are questions of semantics which shall yield variable subjective interpretations. Different individuals share different abilities and that makes them ‘a team’. In case of Pakistan, the ideology of Quran, a government based on the Law of God, was as old a concept as the concept of Law & Society. Nabi and Rasool are well defined Arabic words and one is tempted to use the word ‘ideologue’ for the former. Nabi however stands out as a unique human being who is way higher than all visionaries, who has a gift of intellect, beyond any human intellect.

Brother noman, I completely agree with you that Dr. Qamar Zaman is a great scholar. He is one of the few scholars I’ve met so far, who shows no signs of arrogance despite having such great knowledge and wisdom. A person who answers criticism through logic and reason. A scholar who is always eager to share the pearls of wisdom with seekers of true knowledge.
His website, http://www.aastana.com is a great institution of Quran and an environment created on the basis of absolute freedom of speech. The best thing about aastana is that you can ask whatever you want and you’ll get a proper answer with references and proper reason.

Dear Sir; That was simply brilliant 🙂
One of the best interpretation of the term NABI I have read so far.
Brother Damon, I would like to say something here;
As per my understanding, the terms “administration” and “Central Authority” does not fit anywhere in Quranic Ideology.
Please see the following verse;
وَٱلَّذِينَ ٱسْتَجَابُو۟ا لِرَبِّهِمْ وَأَقَامُو۟ا ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَأَمْرُهُمْ شُورَىٰ بَيْنَهُمْ وَمِمَّا رَزَقْنَٰهُمْ يُنفِقُونَ (42:38
A concept of شُورَىٰ بَيْنَهُمْ which means mutual consultation and no one having authority on others. This concept of no authority has been confirmed by Quran in verse (53:38) which says;
أَلَّا تَزِرُ وَازِرَةٌ وِزْرَ أُخْرَىٰ and also in verse (6:164) which says;
كُلُّ نَفْسٍ إِلَّا عَلَيْهَا وَلَا تَزِرُ وَازِرَةٌ وِزْرَ أُخْرَىٰ
I did the same mistake earlier on when I used the terms “Administration” and “Central Authority”. Fortunately, I got a chance to discuss this matter with a friend on a forum and I realized what we have been asked to follow and how.
The answer to all our questions and the solution to all our problems is the concept of “Poly-centric” community, following natural law which says;
Do what you all have agreed to do …
do not encroach on other’s properties …

@Junaid Malik –
It’s going to take a collective effort as the ultimate truth is not with anyone human being. The Quranic scholars that I try to closely study (such as Dr. Qamar Zaman, Dr. Akhtar Sherazi and Dr. Asarul Islam) each have different talents and angles of looking at things. It is our duty to study the research of these scholars and verify them by The Quran, keeping in mind 17:36 and 39:18 among other verses.
Either way, it is the end result that we uphold as being important and that is to establish a true Islamic State based on the Quranic Constitution.
Allah Hafiz,
Damon.
Friends,
There seems to be a confusion over the term Nabi and Rasool. Some say they are two faces of the same coin. Some say, one comes with a book and law the other comes as a revivalist. Some say all Rasools were Nabis but not all Nabis were Rasools and vice versa. Where can one find the truth of all quote the Qur’an to prove their point?
ASARULISLAM’S COMMENT: (Modified, now that I have taken care of some business and some real stuff)
With all due respects to you, my learned brother Mubashir, If we were running for our lives in a Tsunami, would we ask ourselves such questions? Life is short Sir.
Nabi is an Apostle, Rasool is a Messenger, the sermonizer who delivers the Message. And as I said, these are questions of semantics. A doctor knows Medicine, a physician or surgeon delivers the service. ( And the entire community benefits). In my opinion the two words are interchangeable and ‘Apostle’ works good in translations. I strongly discourage the use of the word Prophet which sadly has become common and I have had to use it. It means one who makes prophecies—a tarot card reader, a crystal ball gazer, an ESP performer. This is wrong, insulting and misleading but we must clarify whenever we are compelled to use this word. Like Deen, Nabi has no English equivalent.
