MEMO TO THE CHADIAN GOVERNMENT

MEMO TO THE CHADIAN GOVERNMENT

Boko haram has done nothing for Islam and Muslims than harm. The Muslims populace in Nigeria and border countries is no more comfortable in practicing their religion’s rite, especially in public places due to stigmatization.

Islam is a religion of peace, her teachings is peace, her greeting is also peace (Asalamu alaykum meaning; peace be on to you). But these definitions have been distorted by evil hands, Extremists, confusionists, misconceptionists and orientalist.

Islam prohibit killing of innocent soul, evidence from verses of Quran:

“We ordained for children of Israel that if any one slew a person – unless:- it be for murder or for spreading mischief in the land, it would be as if he slew the whole people and if any one saved a life it would be as if he saved the life of the whole people”. (Q vs 32)

“ those who invoke not with Allah any other gods, nor slay such life as Allah has made sacred except for just cause; nor commit fornication; and any that does this (not only) meets punishment but the penalty on the day of judgment with be double to him, and he will dwell therein in ignoring” (Q25 vs 68 – 69).

“If it had been thy lords will they would all have believed all who are on earth, with thou,  then compel mankind, against their will to believe”(Q 10 vs 99).

All the above verses of the Quran and more prohibit the killing of any innocent soul in the name of religion.

Allah says in another verse:

“let their no be compulsion in religion … (Q2 vs 256).

From the outset, Islam was not spread by sword. The Prophet started his Dawah with good wills, wisdom, Good character, love and kindness among the pagan of makkah. Many of the Kuraysh accepted Islam from him neither by his preaching nor by his sword but by his good character, trustworthiness and kindness to them.

After the Prophet and his companion Muslims have been livings with non-Muslims harmoniously for centuries until after the incident of 9/11[which many prove unreal]. This incident of 9/11 changed the peaceful recognition of Islam and Muslims and gives Terrorism and Terrorists respectively. The word terrorism now means Islam while Muslims are the terrorist, as alleged.

Many terrorism attacks as occurred in the world today associated to Muslims. We know of Al-Qaeda, Al-Shabab, Toliban, ISIS and the likes. we did heard this but now at our door step in West Africa .The menace of Boko Haram which has claimed thousands of souls in Nigeria and neighbouring countries is a big treat to Islam and Muslims in this region.

Few weeks ago, you ordered the ban of Islamic Veil (Niqab) by Chadian Muslims.  You also ordered security force to go into market and seize all veils and burn them. This is due to bloody suicide bombing in the region. Life is worthy of safety, but something have to be taken care of not by force but by process

 According to Yoruba adage “ Oribibe ko logun orififo” beheading is a not the cure for headache.

The spirit behind the faith in Islam cannot be toppled by any wills. The force behind the faith is beyond what anybody can control. It is a strong gale which is beyond the one carrying it. Force and coercion cannot stop one’s heart desire, especially something connected with faith.

 Using veil, especially in the Western countries where one looks odd among people and being discriminated yet people use their veil. Regardless of all deprivation of rights , pressure and tension, these never stop people from using their veil, even increasing.

Ban on Islamic face veil will bring other forms of violence in the region as those people will not be comfortable with their face out.

Anytime any right is been deprived the result must bounce back in greater measure. Muhammad Yusuf’s right of fear hearing was deprived and the result is Boko Haram insurgence . US bombards Iraq and the outcome is clear to everyone to see, emergence of ISIS, and other bloody terrorist groups in the region. Muhammad Gadafi was killed and the attack never stops till date. Morsi was ousted and the protest continues. The black American is being discriminated and the result is gun running,thugery and drug addiction. If the world can give everyone his/her due right, the world would have been the best place to live.

Give them their RIGHT and look for another strategy of fighting Boko Haram to prevent commotion.

 May almighty Allah make peace reign and find lasting solution to menace of Boko Haram.
