REJECT NEGATIVE POLITICS, BAD POLICIES
     & WRONG APPROACH TO AVOID HARM
BY JAVED ZAHEER, FREE EXPRESSION AWARD WINNER     
            TORONTO: Like most others, I usually avoid opening or reading tons of junk/garbage mails and those full of nonsenses from nuisances, evil and sick minds. Interestingly but unfortunately, even most internationally recognized and reputed intellectuals, clergies, authorities and persons are found wasting hours of their precious time and energy on useless and pointless dialogues, debates, discussions and arguments and on trying to prove that they are always 100 percent right, genius and know everything and all others are wrong, know nothing, illiterates and stupid. This is the reality of the evil, sick & crazy people and their mad world.
            Most are so much pampered and spoilt by the respect and praises of supporters and fans that even the praise of God, good people and other things irks them. These evil, sick and crazy people very cunningly use God and good as shields to hide their true colours and sins and promote themselves and their vested interests. They enjoy the taste of cruel dictatorship and their worship by those brainwashed and made slaves by them. They are the most cunning, cruel, harmful and dangerous ones. They pose and act like prophet and good but are devil in reality.
            You don’t have to look for them. Like pests, parasites, viruses and bacteria, there are millions of them around you in the form of political, religious and community leaders, bureaucrats and policymakers and people posing as saints, preachers, priests, good, genius, intellectual and knowledgeable ones.
            The only way to judge them, their true colour, evil nature and bad character is by scanning and screening their overall contributions and character to find out whether they are positive or negative/constructive or destructive/true leaders or hypocrites/helping and serving others in reality or exploiting, cheating, corrupting and harming them. The only way to defeat   them is to expose them and their evil nature, character, contributions and mafia network.            
POLITICS: Politics is a dirty game and people continue to become bait, prey and victim and end up as losers. The leaders and parties use, abuse and exploit them cunningly and mercilessly. .
            For vested interests, foes of yesterday become friends of today. Everything is fair in dirty politics. The recent example is of success of John Tory as Mayor of Toronto. Those Liberal supporters who insulted and humiliated him in the election he lost for MPP were found supporting him and enjoying the party he threw. This time the party supported John Tory and helped him win. Thanks God, John Tory is a nice leader and it is hoped that he will help both the city and people. Expectations are very high. Let’s see what he does as Mayor. Already, we have a nice Premier Kathleen Wynne and both of them could work together in the best possible ways in the best interest of the people, city and province.
            However, we cannot test and trust anymore those community leaders, who are associated  with various parties and groups, who have betrayed the community, exploited and cheated them cunningly. They may be of good use for the party but useless for the community and are rejected ones. They can only tarnish the image and harm the interests of the party. So beware of the rain frogs. They can never be your friends. The parties must also understand this very well and clearly if they want to win the trust, confidence and votes of the people.    
            Fortunately, I have good company and community team leaders like Shahid Hashmi, Founder Chairman, Canpak Chamber of Commerce, Syed Muhammad Iqbal, Founder President, Pak Seniors Forum (PSF), Hameeduddin Ahmed, journalist, Afzal Khan Nayyar, Hashim, Tahir, Hafiz Khan, Alberto Rodil and many others, who are not only like-minded but keep guiding, helping and supporting each other in the best interest of all.  We are all like a family and engage in healthy dialogues, debates, arguments and discussion as well. This helps us to better understand each other and remain close.
            Jim Prentice, Premier of Alberta, recently criticized the negative politics game and held it responsible for the problems and sufferings of the people and country. I appreciate his good thinking and approach and fully support him. We must always discourage, speak up and fight against all dirty and negative policies and politics. Those involved must be fully exposed and sidelined forever. They must not be allowed to harm the system, society, people and country.
             RELIGION: I have been reading the emails of Iftekhar A. Hai, President, United Muslims of America (UMA) Interfaith Alliance (www.umaia.net)/(iftekhar.hai@gmail.com)  and trying to understand him and his views/analyses in the messages on interfaith.
            According to UMAIA, the United Muslims of America Interfaith Alliance (UMAIA) was established in 2004 as a non-partisan organization in America promoting understanding and dialogue between people of different faiths and religions. UMAIA's mission is to encourage people of all faiths to have open and frank discussion between among them.
            The purpose is to promote peace and harmony among different American ethnic and religious groups such as Muslims, Christians, Jews, Hindus, Buddhists and others, on the basis of American Heritage.
            It is definitely good to create proper awareness, understanding and unity in reality through the concept of interfaith and should be encouraged, promoted and supported. Unfortunately, here too mafia/intelligence agencies/cunning policymakers are very much active. They have hired touts/professionals and created and floated groups promoting interfaith concept and ideas. The purpose is to keep a watchful eye on communities, leaders and people and also to hook the potential ones for their use.
            The role of the mafia needs no explanation. They are crooks and their sole intention is to exploit, cheat and harm. They act as double agents and work for the agencies too and benefit from both ways and sides.
            Coming back to Iftekhar A. Hai, although they seem very interesting, informative and perfect but I have found his emails, shared with learned people of different religions, as very confusing and disturbing and could mislead and misdirect people from the truth and right path and create misunderstanding and wrong impression about God, original holy books and the divine messages.
            With due respect, Iftekhar A. Hai, in his emails on ‘Hindu-Muslim Unity’ and ‘Heaven For All Good People - Says Quran’,  might be trying to explain facts properly, sincerely and honestly according to his analyses and understanding of the divine messages.
            I can be wrong but in my opinion, analyses and understanding Iftekhar A. Hai has failed to do so and instead seem confused and creating confusion. He needs to review them all so that he could deliver proper messages of Quran, other holy books and humanity and get the desired results of creating proper awareness, understanding and unity of people of all religions.
            Iftekhar A. Hai says: “The minimum criteria to please God are three points:
            a) Believe in God b) The Last Day and c) Doing Righteousness
“1)       Since the core message in all the scriptures is to worship One and Only One God, belief in the Day of Judgment and to live a Righteous way of life.  God in His message gives hope to all people by saying, “Those who believe (in the Quran), those who follow the Jewish Scriptures, the Christians (who follow the teachings of the Gospels) and the Sabians (followers of John the Baptist or Zoroastrians), any (anyone living in any part of the world) who believe in
“2)       God, the Last Day and work righteousness, shall have their reward from their Lord, on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve.” 2:62, 5:69, 2:112 (repeated numerous times all over the Quran).
“3)  To every people was sent an Apostle to teach them in their own language in their own country – making things clear” 10:47, 14:4 & 16:36.
            “So there are good people among all (religious group) the 124,000 followers of prophets that has been send to every country of the world...they do not have to be Muslims.”
            Iftekhar A. Hai says and I agree: “All believers are equal in front of God from All Faiths”. Yes, no denying but God has clearly explained in the original holy books about both the believers and non-believers, their nature, character, contribution, fate and final places.
            Iftekhar A. Hai, the criteria to please God are not three but FOUR POINTS and the fourth one is extremely important. I don’t know how and why you missed it. This is where the problem arises and people falter, are trapped and misled by the devil, evil nature people and the mafia. They know this weakness of people very well and keep playing with them.
            People themselves assume or create gods---both living and dead, start worshipping them or anything and start asking them for help, support, guidance and everything.
            Just see what God says in Sura # 1 Al-Fatiha:
            “In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful (1)
Praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds, (2) The Beneficent, the Merciful. (3) Owner of the Day of Judgment, (4) Thee (alone) we worship; Thee (alone) we ask for help. (5) Show us the straight path, (6) The path of those whom Thou hast favoured. Not (the path) of those who earn Thine anger nor of those who go astray. (7)”
            When the good people understand, accept and implement this divine message and conditions of God then they become believers. God even tells us in this Sura who are believers and who are the condemned ones or evil nature people. The believers are those who are shown the right path and favoured by God. The condemned ones or evil nature people are those who earn the anger of God and go astray.
            You don’t have to do doctorate or become scientist, intellectual or scholar to understand this. It’s all very simple. Those of any faith who follow the conditions automatically become good and believer. As regards going to heaven or hell, only God knows who will be showered this blessing. We only assume and say according to what we think, hear, notice and witness.
            The importance of the fourth point is such that God had to issue the following commands in Sura # 112 Al-Ikhlas to make the people understand His Greatness and stop them from committing grave sin and mistakes and being trapped by the devil, sick, crazy and evil nature people and the condemned, cursed and cunning religion mafia.        
             “In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Say: He is Allah, the One! (1) Allah, the eternally Besought of all! (2) He begetteth not nor was begotten. (3) And there is none comparable unto Him. (4)”.
            As regards exchanges, dialogues, debates, discussions and arguments, yes we must always encourage these but with good intentions and with sensible and good people so that both can listen to each other, tolerate each other, better understand each other and fully benefit from the positive outcome.
            At the same time, we have been ordered to avoid politely these with bad or evil nature people or condemned ones.  See the following relevant Sura # 109 Al-Kafiroon:
             “In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Say: O disbelievers! (1) I worship not that which ye worship; (2) Nor worship ye that which I worship. (3) And I shall not worship that which ye worship. (4) Nor will ye worship that which I worship. (5) Unto you your religion, and unto me my religion. (6).”
            Instead of arguing and fighting with people of different sects, faiths and religions and insulting and humiliating them, we have been asked to show patience and tolerance and remain on the right path. For this see Sura # 103 Al-Asr:
            “In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By the declining day, (1) Lo! man is a state of loss, (2) Save those who believe and do good works, and exhort one another to truth and exhort one another to endurance. (3)”
            The best way to live happily and successfully in this world and to make it a better place to live in is to win hearts of all, love and respect each other, guide, help and support each other,  learn to live and work together and Serve Humanity In Reality. This is how we can please God most and enjoy His blessings and favour. Leave the rest on God.
            Don’t just focus on or bother about going to heaven or hell or do anything with this intention. You never know what you say or do that pleases or displeases God or where He will send you or end you up. So always just keep thinking and doing good and keep remembering, thanking and worshipping only God. This is what God teaches us and demands from us. Keep hypocrisy, jealousness, arrogance, egoism and unhealthy competitions away from your life and then witness the unimaginable wonderful changes as a result of blessings of God.
            MUSLIMS: Being a Muslim, I have noticed that ninety nine percent of Muslims believe that only they are the best and only they deserve to go to heaven. This is their wishful dreaming. They keep dreaming and living in the fool’s paradise and keep forgetting that to please God they will have to not only become good human being and believer but understand and meet the conditions in Sura Al-Fatiha or Sura Al-Asr or Al-Kafiroon or understand the definition of believers in the holy quran or the other original holy books or scriptures or scrolls all of which are in reality a constitution for humanity and a source of guidance. Only through their proper understanding and implementation, we can become good human being, good people and good believer and deserve blessings and favour from God.    
            Iftekhar A. Hai let’s all guide, support and help put the misguided and lost Muslims on the right track first instead of trying to reform others. Let’s start from ourselves and home. This should be given importance as the top most priority. Instead of just trying to please others for our vested interests, we must try to please God by true worship and serving the noble cause: SERVE HUMANITY IN REALITY.
