Islamic values being violated in political conflict: Mufti Taqi Usmani

Islamic scholar, Mufti Taqi Usmani shared his thoughts on Twitter over the ongoing political conflict among politicians in Pakistan on Monday.

He issued the statement after a series of heated confrontations was seen between the Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan and the opposition leaders after a no-confidence motion against PM was submitted last week.

Mufti wrote, “It is frightening to imagine the extent to which Islamic rules and values are being violated in political disputes. May Allah protect us from its calamity.”

اختلاف چاہے سیاسی ہو یانظریاتی اسے دشمنی بنا کر مرنے مارنے اور گالیاں دینے کا طریقہ معاشرے کے لئے مہلک ہےتنقید دلائل سے ہوتی ہے بھونڈی زبان سے نہیں قرآن میں حضرت موسی و ہارون علیہماالسلام کو فرعون کے مقابلے میں بھی نرم بات کرنے کی تلقین فرمائی گئی خدارا سوچیں کہ ہم کہاں جارہے ہیں

He continued that the political leadership should show decency while having arguments as it is detrimental to any society.

“Whether the difference is political or ideological, to make it a matter of taking one’s life and abusing each other is deadly for the society. Criticism is done through arguments and not by vulgar language. Think about where we are going,” he further added.
