An
enormous factor in the State's nefarious agenda to introduce its
state-version of Islam into Pakistan is the project of
“mainstreaming” the madaris. Somehow, the present government has
persuaded the largest networks of madaris representing the five major
schools of thought (Barelawi, Deobandi, Salafi, Jamaati Islami and
Shi'a) to sign on to their plan which requires all the madaris to not
only register with the state but also adapt elements of the secular,
state crafted curricula into their educational programs. I should
point out that this is not altogether surprising as sadly the Ulama
especially those in top positions who are close to the state and may
be termed “quasi-functionaries” of the state are notorious for
being short-sighted, naive and easily manipulated. The Usmani dynasty
in particular, individuals related to Mufti Shabbir Usmani, such as
Mufti Taqi Usmani, Mufti Rafi Usmani, etc., are in fact the greatest
traitors to the cause of Islam in this country. The heads of the
madaris networks have sold out the holy cause of the madrassa by
signing on to the state's satanic program. Of particular concern to
me is that all madaris which fail to register with the state and
which fail to adapt the state's designated curriculum will be
prevented from operating. Now perhaps the heads of the main networks
of madaris were willing to overlook this naked assault on Islam
because they are only concerned with their own respective networks
and are willing to compromise in order to receive funding from the
state and solidify their own positions.
As
I've explained previously, the survival of Islam in this country is
largely due to the madaris remaining free from corrosive state
influence, being independent institutions that have been, until now,
largely free to teach what they want. The so-called “privatization”
of Islam is actually what has saved and preserved it from attempts by
the forces of modernity and secularity to impose their own warped
version of the faith (carefully crafted to suit their goals) onto the
public. Once the dynamism of the madrassa has been neutralized by
these forces of darkness, it will be extremely difficult to resist
their drive to completely secularize society and sap the power and
influence of Islam in peoples' daily lives. So I reiterate, we lovers
of Islam, we Believers, we faithful and devoted servants of Allah
Almighty, have to now start considering the State an antagonistic
force that must be thwarted and resisted as much as possible.
