Dear brother Shamim,
All praises to Allah Subhana Wa Ta'la (SWT) that people like you are getting benefit from the website. Make dowa for me. Your question is very important. Muslims organize themselves and engage in politics and other social activities only to bring victory to Islam and please Allah Subhana Wa Ta'la (SWT) and none else. Only for Muslims' and Islam's interest and saving Muslims' lives, Muslims can make treaty even with the non-Muslims. Prophet (pbuh) made such treaty with the kuffars of Arabia. But such alliance should not make the slightest deviation from their own Islamic agenda. Muslims should never compromise their own issue of implementing Quranic law and introducing Islamic education, economics, culture or values. Muslims and Muslim organizations should never be used by secular forces to grab power and promote their secular agendas. For a Muslim, politics is not mere politics, it is the part of his holy Jihad -the sacred struggle in the way of Allah SWT. In such jihad, secularist can not be a partner. In Bangladesh, secular forces are using common Muslims as well as many Islamic parties to gain power. The Islamic parities seem to have forgotten their own Islamic issues. They are busy to some extent with bank, business, hospitals, NGO's and relief works. Social and economic works are good, but not at the expense of the main task of bringing Islamic revolution. In Bangladesh, it has been labeled as a job of the so-called Islamic extremists. For some of the so-called Islamic leaders, becoming an MP or minister has been a very important issue than the real Islamic revolution. So, they spend crores of Taka to win votes. Such huge money have never been used to take Islamic knowledge to common people. Where as, taking Islamic thought to people's doorstep was an Islamic obligation on every Muslim man and woman, therefore much more important than fighting an election. Though these parties make hundred of marches and meetings in the streets, they do not make a single meeting or march to raise demand for sharia. Even when they sit in parliament, they do not put enough emphasis on this issue to make any parliamentary demand. Probably they do not want to annoy their secular partners. Such alliance with secular parties made them compromising the real Islamic cause. To please the secular partners and the public, they even go to monuments with barefoot to give flowers. This is not the true Islam. Allah SWT will not be happy with such compromising politics of these so-called Islamic parties. Neither can it make an Islamic organisation stronger. Strength comes only through jihad, not through compromise. Because, through Jihad Muslims get mercy of Allah SWT. And if Allah sends His mercy, then can such organisation be weaker?
However, the issue needs more discussion. Insh-Allah, I shall write an article to address the issue.
