13  Forum / Politics / No compulsion in Islam..by: a real muslim Hannatu Musawa on: 10-08-2012 08:53 AM
 NO COMPULSION IN RELIGION: Hannatu Musawa Columnist: Sheikh Dr. Ahmad Abubakar Gumi is
not only a knowledgeable Islamic scholar; he exemplifies the character of a Muslim nurtured from an
early age in a virtuous environment. Having been taught and raised by his late father, Sheikh
Abubakar Mahmoud Gumi, he serves as a role model for the spirit and virtue that Muslims can aspire
for and attain.
In the spate of the recent unabashed religious threats and violence by misguided elements, it has been necessary for notable and respected members of the Nigerian Islamic society to speak out on
the outrageously arrogant, criminal and aggressive actions of people purporting to speak and act on
behalf of Islam. Up until the recent sermons Sheikh Gumi has given, in which he has contradicted
much of what these unsavory elements spew, hardly anyone within the Nigerian Islamic leadership
order has had the courage and persuasion to speak out. Few Scholars have been brave enough to set
the record straight on the fact that the individuals and groups presently attacking the peace and stability in Nigeria by claiming an Islamic affiliation are operating with a vile distortion of the noble
and peaceful teachings of Islam. It is regrettable that Islam, a religion of peace, harmony, goodwill
and brotherhood has been used by unruly and ghastly people to justify unwarranted acts of violence
such as suicide bombings, threats and other forms of violence. At the very base of Islam is the quest
for freedom, justice and equality and when a Muslim uses Islam to threaten and condemn another
because they do not share the same faith, that discrimination is totally foreign to the pure teachings and doctrines of Islam. In the Quran, God bestowed honour on every single individual, no matter
their background, race or tribe. Liberty and everything that emerges from it are some of the great
favours God has given us and concepts such as kidnappings, threats and the kind of unprovoked
violence we are seeing in Nigeria today towards people of a different faith to Islam, especially the
Christian community, are not part of the true teachings of Islam. It is so shocking that people
claiming to promote Islam can issue an ultimatum in which they threaten a Christian president to convert to Islam or face their wrath. How on earth can they give a Christian who believes in his
religion as much or even more than they believe in their religion that kind of ultimatum? Under
Islamic dispensation, it is clearly taught that “There is no compulsion in religion…” The Qur’an was
very clear on the issue of forced conversion by stating, “Had your Lord wanted, all the people on
earth would have believed. So will you force people to believe?”
Throughout history, Muslims themselves were the targets of forced conversion during the Spanish Inquisition and the Crusades and the Communist era of the 20th century and first hand Muslims
understand how unacceptable and unreasonable such a notion is. Threatening people who don’t
convert to Islam, persecuting non-Muslims and treating a society in the unjust manner that extremist
elements have been doing most definitely is not what Islam is about. When one reads in the Qur’an
that Allah encourages Muslims to deal kindly and justly with anyone of any faith who has not
fought Muslims for our faith and driven us out of our homes because God loves the just, one wonders why anyone would want to put a negative interpretation to what is clearly a message of
patience, peace.and harmony between different faiths cohabiting. The second source in Islam, after
the Qur’an, are the statements made by the Prophet Muhammad (SAW), who in his lifetime gave a
clear view on the persecution of non Muslims when he stated, “Whoever kills an innocent non-
Muslim will not even smell the fragrance of Paradise.” How could such statement possibly be
compatible with the extremist ideal for Islam to force itself onto others? Instead, it makes it clear that non-Muslims should by no means be harmed by Muslims. The one doctrine that is used by
extremists to lend credibility to the notion that Islam encourages violence is the concept of jihad.
The word Jihad brings into play the vision of a marching band of religious fanatics with savage
beards, short trousers and fiery eyes,brandishing swords, screaming in Arabic and attacking
everyone and everything in their wake.
However, the true spirit of Jihad in Islamic terms means to endeavour and strive in a noble way. Over time this meaning of Jihad has been eradicated or at least diluted. The critical juncture in the
Islamic world requires reviving and recapturing the true and pristine meaning of Jihad. Jihad can be
divided into two broad categories. First is ‘Jihad-e-akbar’. This is Jihad against one's own person to
curb sinful inclinations, which is the purification of self. This is the most difficult Jihad and hence in
terms of rewards and blessings is the highest category of Jihad. The second is ‘Jihad-e-asghar’. This
is Jihad of the sword. This is communal Jihad and presupposes certain specific conditions. The Quran speaks of fighting only as a self defence and this is the very condition laid down in several
verses of the Holy Quran. The so called verse of the sword in the Islamic scripture is often taken out
of context as if it inculcates an indiscriminate massacre of all non-Muslims. The Quranic words such
as “kill whatever you find them” apply only in cases of self-defence and a state of unprovoked war;
they do not apply to provoked wars and battles. The Muslims who interpret these verses in any
other manner commit a travesty of the lofty ideals of Islam. There is not a single instance in the life of the Holy Prophet where he offered the alternative of the sword or Islam to anyone. The Holy
Quran does not make Jihad in context of an article of faith. The sayings and traditions of the Holy
Prophet render it into a formula for active struggle that invariably and incorrectly tended towards a
militant expression. Suicide bombings, violent threats and killing those of different faiths just for the
sake of killing are contrary to the purview of the real spirit of the Islamic Jihad. It is pure and simple
mass murder. The presentation of Islam as a crude and barbaric religion which gives itself the right to cause unwarranted human and material suffering and destruction under the guise of Divine
authority is not the kind of Islam we find in the precepts of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (SAW).
The basic unity of the followers of all faiths is emphatically stressed in the Holy Quran and the
creation of discord and disunity by terrorism or otherwise has no place in Islam. Islam is an all-
encompassing codes of values and conduct and with those values, those of us that practice it from
the depths of our heart and soul must use its teachings as a ground of hope to progressively promote unity and accord in Nigeria rather than mischievously and maliciously using it as a
justification for violence. The Holy Quran teaches that God has sent His revelation to all people
from time to time. Jesus Christ and many of the Prophets of the Old Testament are mentioned by
name and they are all honoured and revered by all true believing Muslims. Indeed, the Quran
requires belief in the truth of all the Messengers of God and requires an affirmation in them all
wherever they appear. And therefore it seeks to bring about
reconciliation between the followers of different faiths and to establish a basis of respect and
honour among them. The Quran says: “Surely, those who believe and the Jews and the Christians
and the Sabians - whichever party from among these truly believes in Allah (God) and the Last Day
and does good deeds, shall have their reward with their Lord, and no fear shall come upon them nor
shall they grieve.” In the Holy Scriptures, the Qur’an, Torah and the Bible, both Christians and Muslims are taught that
God is the Source of peace and the bestower of security. And since the doctrine of peace and
security are ‘His’’, the establishment of that peace and maintenance of security must, therefore, be
the constant objective of all Muslims and Christians alike. Those who choose to exact a campaign of
hatred, violence and threats against others who have done nothing to provoke them, purely because
others worship in a different way to them, must revaluate Allah’s message of peace and harmony and understand that, only through conformity to the spirit of peace, patience, conscience and the
promotion of human welfare can we achieve a society where all can co-exist. If they don’t, they
have only themselves to blame in the hereafter when they have to make the real account to the
Almighty, All seeing and All Knowing.
Sheikh Dr. Ahmad Abubakar Gumi is a beacon to the inherent justice in Islam and a brave Scholar,
especially when examined with the lenses of the present Islamic leadership in Nigeria. Like his father, he lives a life outstanding in its dedication to the cause of Allah. May God protect him and
guide him to continue speaking out against those within the Muslim Ummah choose to distort the
message and meaning of Islam. Nigerian Muslim, extremists especially, can learn from Sheikh Gumi
when he explores them to follow Allah accordingly and advises them that there is no compulsion to
Islam. Hannatu Musawa

Islam, The Religion of Peace.
**Muslim, I am, and I will die as one (Insha Allah)
**Ignorance about the Faith.
**Killers in the Name of Islam have a big place in Hell, they are not
Muslims. My aim is not to apologize for my religion; I will not write as one who is
ashamed of my way of life, and before you shout ‘Southern Muslim!’ like
I’m certain you’re probably already thinking, let me inform you that
Muslims all over the world are one and the same. Once, the Prophet (PBUH) was asked ‘who is a Muslim?’, his reply made it
clear that anyone who believes in the Oneness of God and offers as-salat
(prayers) regularly is a Muslim; I call this the ‘minimum requirement(s)
into the school of Islam’, a School of which I’m a proud student. I have
faith in the Oneness of God, I observe as-salat, I give Zakat (charity), I fast
during Ramadan, and I hope to go on pilgrimage soon. Muslim, I am, and I will die as one (Insha Allah). Many times, I’ve had
cause to dispel rumours about my religion (I do not conform to any form
of stereotype, so I’ve had the privilege of hearing a lot of lies and
conjecture). Once, on a bus from Enugu to Lagos, a preacher decided to get
the attention of his ‘mobile congregation’ by misquoting and murdering
verses from the Holy Qur’an. I respectfully waited for him to end his hateful sermon, then produced my Quran and read the actual verses to
everyone in the bus. I even took time to explain what Jihad means, what
it entails, and what led to it. Yes, I’m a woman; No, I’m not a scholar. But
do you have to be male or a Reverend to understand the Bible? As you most probably already know, Jihad means Holy War. There are
two forms of Jihad- the one you fight within yourself (this entails
choosing between what’s right and what’s wrong), and actual warfare. Now, what led to it? When the Prophet (PBUH) began to spread the
message of Islam, the unbelievers (pagans, idol worshippers) of that time
decided that Muslims didn’t deserve to live; they attacked Muslims, took
over their properties, killed them. Muslims were oppressed. Initially, they
were asked to ignore the pagans and maintain peace, but when the
situation became unbearable, God asked them to fight back. The first verse revealed with respect to Jihad (V 2:190) says ‘ And fight in
the way of Allah those who fight you, but transgress not the limits. Truly,
Allah likes not the transgressors ‘. This verse is the ‘foundation’ of Jihad, it
prescribes THE standard for warfare in the name of God. Fight against
those who fight against you; God did not say ‘fight against those who piss
you off’, He didn’t say ‘fight against those who you don’t like’. ‘Fight against those who fight against you’ means self-defence is the ONLY form
of violence that’s permitted. ‘But do not transgress limits’; self-defence was the previously established
limit. ‘Transgression’ would then mean fighting people who didn’t attack
you first. This is termed ‘irjaf’. Irjaf and Jihad are two extremely different
things. Before you judge the over one billion Muslims in the world by the actions
of some hell-bound transgressors, kindly permit me to draw your
attention to the Muslim Capital of the World; Saudi Arabia. Do Christians
live there or not? How many times has a suicide bombing occurred there?
How many times have some obviously deluded, highly misguided
maniacs demanded that they all revert to Islam? This brings me to another issue- suicide. My Qur’an tells me that suicide is
a one-way ticket to Hell. Couple that with aggression, and tell me what
the outcome would be. This brings me, inevitably, to Boko Haram.
Personally, I believe what happened in this case was a deliberate move
by government to hijack a problem that should have been solved at
inception, and turn it to a political tool for division. Nigerians have always had a penchant for tribalism; add different
religions to the mix and the potion becomes even more volatile and
potentially lethal. Just how lethal that potion is, is what we’re all
experiencing now. Frankly, what this is about is speaking for myself and others like me, and
most importantly, sparing Islam the pain of being seen as something it’s
not. Claiming Islam encourages violence is akin to saying that Christianity or
Buddhism or Zoroastrianism, or even Scientology, gives room for a vice
that some of its followers have. Right now, I’m just so glad that Hitler and
Truman weren’t Muslims. My point? PEOPLE are evil, PEOPLE kill, and taking up arms and killing little
children is no justification. Boko Haram does not have the mandate of
Nigerian Muslims to exterminate Christians. When Boko Haram killed
Imams almost on a daily basis, there were no reprisals. Nobody said
‘Muslims have asked Boko Haram to kill the clerics’. When busy areas of
Kano were bombed, no one said ‘Muslims are killing Christians again’. This selective anger, this selective pity, is what I do not like. My eldest
sister is an evangelist, my niece bears the name ‘Chukwuamaka’, her
father is an Igbo man. Why would I, a Muslim, then decide to send Boko
Haram on a mission to kill Christians? Or why would I harbour murderous
thoughts towards Christians at all? My Quran tells me that ‘……. he who takes a life will be judged like he
killed all of mankind… he who saves a life will be judged like he saved all
of mankind’ (5:32). If Boko Haram is following any sort of manual, it is not
this Qur’an (or any other for that matter because there are no different
versions. The Qur’an is the same anywhere in the world). Perhaps if we
did the right thing and displaced those thieves and murderers from their seats of power, we would find copies of the manual beneath those seats. There’s a rule I abide by; ‘if you don’t know it, don’t say it’. Seventy-two
virgins as reward for suicide? I’ve read the Qur’an from cover to cover
countless times and not once have I come across it. The Holy Qur’an does
not portray Paradise as a reward for suicide and/or murder. I pray that God gives all those who’ve lost their loved ones- Muslims,
Christians, Traditionalists, free thinkers- the fortitude to bear the loss.
20  Forum / Naijapals Base (Metro life) / 20 why boko haram crisis may not end-up soo on: 29-07-2012 03:48 PM
20 reasons why Boko Haram crisis may not end soon Boko Haram crisis started like any other protest, but it seems to have
come to stay. Why is it difficult for security agencies to crush the sect in
few well-coordinated operations? It is not clear, but below are some of
the reasons. 1.    Extrajudicial killings: This is the primary source of the violence. At
least, that is what the sect has continued to harp upon. Its leader,
Mohammed Yusuf, was killed while in police custody, and many members
of the group have been killed by security personnel in a manner that has
kept human rights organisations raising alarm. 2.    Access to lethal weapons: The sect seems to have unfettered access to
deadly weapons, including bomb-making materials in spite of the closure
of Nigeria’s borders and the alertness of security forces. 3.    Detention of suspects without trial: This is another argument by Boko
Haram. They claim hundreds of their members are detained in various
police cells and prisons without trial. There was a speculation that
government may have built a special detention camp for arrested
members of the sect. Boko Haram has asked for detained members to be
set free by government. 4.    Poor understanding of the sect by government: Close to three years
after it went violent, there is no evidence that security operatives clearly
understand the philosophy, the leadership structure and operational
schemes of the sect. This is in spite of the fact that many supposedly
leaders of the group are in the custody of security agencies. 5.    Unguarded utterances by government agents: Top security chiefs in
the country have made utterances that experts in the intelligence
community have tagged as unguarded. Statements like ‘Boko Haram’s
days are numbered’ have angered the group and, in response, Boko
Haram has attacked sensitive locations across the country. 6.    Lack of commitment to dialogue: Many elements have called for
dialogue between government and the sect, but there seems to be no
commitment on the part of government and the sect to discuss. For one,
the group remains faceless and has continued to make impossible
demands, like asking for the North to be ruled by Shariah. 7.    Suspected complicity of security agencies: Though this has not been
proved, there is the suspicion that some security agents may be
associated with the group. President Jonathan once mentioned that Boko
Haram had infiltrated his government. 8.    Lack of trust for JTF: The group has thrived, mainly because the
communities where it operates don’t trust the Joint Task Force enough to
give it intelligence information. There are reports that some who gave
security agencies information were killed, hence residents are afraid, not
only of Boko Haram, but also of giving information to security agents. 9.    Poor intelligence: This is associated with No.8. Security agencies don’t
seem to have the kind of intelligence needed to tackle the sect, hence it is
perceived that Boko Haram is always five steps ahead of security
operatives. 10.    Rivalry among security agencies: In spite of the concerns raised
about this, there is still evidence that security agencies are not
coordinated. The SSS, police, NIA, Immigration, may not be collaborating
properly. The fact that government disputed a warning by the American
intelligence that there was an imminent bomb attack on Abuja showed
that the agencies were not working in tandem with the world intelligence community. 11.    Support of foreign fundamentalist groups: There is the suspicion that
Boko Haram gets support from other groups like the Al-Qaeda. Though
this has not been confirmed, it is a strong hypothesis in the security circle. 12.    Political suspicion: Government suspects that Boko Haram is backed
by powerful politicians from the North. That has not been proved, but as
National Security Adviser Azazi made an allusion to it in Port Harcourt at
the weekend, this aspect seems to be foremost on the minds of those in
government. 13.    Greed: Unfortunately, Boko Haram crisis has become an avenue for
few Nigerians to access government money. Both federal and state
governments are spending a lot of money on the purchase of security
gadgets and maintaining security forces. Those who benefit from these
may not want the crisis to end quickly. 14.    Different ‘kinds’ of Boko Haram: There seems to be political, criminal
and real Boko Haram sects at the moment. This means anyone can claim
to be Boko Haram, hence it’s possible for government to be dealing with
the wrong group in the search for a solution to the crisis. 15.    Porous borders: Nigeria’s borders have remained porous, in spite of
emergency rule in over a dozen local governments areas and the closure
of borders. This is evident in the suspicion that foreign mercenaries and
weapons that aid violent attacks are coming in and going out of the
country without let or hindrance. 16.    Distrust for the elite in the North: Unfortunately, the sect does not
seem to have respect for the northern elite, making it difficult to actually
call Boko Haram to order. Traditional rulers, government officials and elder
statesmen may have found it difficult to approach them because Boko
Haram does not trust them. 17.    Religious suspicion in Nigeria: Until recently, there has been religious
suspicion in the country. Some Christians thought Boko Haram was an
attempt to Islamise the country, while some Muslims feel marginalised.
However, recently, there seems to be a resolve that the crisis is not
primarily religious. 18.    Disunity in the country: Unfortunately, many Nigerians do not see
the Boko Haram crisis as a national problem. Many see it as a problem of
the ‘Muslim North’. The way government attempts to solve it is perceived
to be half-hearted. If government dialogued with Niger Delta militants
and granted them amnesty, why wouldn’t government dialogue with
Boko Haram? 19.    Poverty: The poverty level in the North is high. It has led to massive
unemployment and apparently, provided a huge number of youths who,
when indoctrinated, become potential members of Boko Haram. 20.    Strong conviction: Surprisingly, many youths who are members of
the sect have a strong conviction that they are doing a noble job. It may
take a lot of efforts to re-educate them to enable them understand the
damage the group has done to the Nigerian state.
