ISLAM OR MOLVI

As-Salamu Alaikum!
Umeed hai aap sab khair-o-aafiyat se honge.

Aaj kal ke daur mein social media par har shakhs Islam ke baare mein kuch na kuch keh raha hota hai. Har kisi ki apni soch, apna tajziya hota hai. Is silsile mein zarurat hai ke hum kuch bunyaadi baaton ko samjhein.

Aksar log daari aur topi pehne walay har shakhs ko "Molvi" keh kar pukarte hain.
Lekin asal mein:

• Molvi
  
  

• Imam
  
  

• Mullah
  
  

• Molana
  
  

yeh sab alag alag lafz hain, jin ka na sirf apna maqsoos ma’ni hai, balkay in ka ek islamic aur cultural maqam bhi hai.

Imam aur Molana:

Dono lafz Arabic zaban se hain.

📖 Imam:
Quran ke mutabiq “Imam” ka matlab hai leader (rehnuma) — woh jo logon ko raasta dikhaye. Jaise ke Allah Ta’ala ne Quran mein farmaya:

وَٱلَّذِينَ يَقُولُونَ رَبَّنَا هَبۡ لَنَا مِنۡ أَزۡوَٰجِنَا وَذُرِّيَّـٰتِنَا قُرَّةَ أَعۡيُنٖ وَٱجۡعَلۡنَا لِلۡمُتَّقِينَ إِمَامًا

Wallazeena yaqooloona: "Rabbanaa hab lanaa min azwaajinaa wa zurriyaatinaa qurrata a’yuninw waj ‘alnaa lilmuttaqeena Imaamaa."

Abul A'la Maududi (Tarjuma):
“Hamare Rab! Hamen hamari biwiyon aur hamari aulad se aankhon ki thandak ata farma, aur hamen muttaqiyon ka imam bana de.”

Sahih International:
“Aur woh jo kehte hain: ‘Hamare Rab! Humein hamari biwiyon aur hamari aulad mein se aankhon ki thandak ata farma, aur humein muttaqiyon ke liye ek namoona bana de.

Molana:

“Molana” ka matlab hota hai: hami, madadgaar, ya hifazat karne wala, yaani protector.

 Jaise ke Allah Ta’ala ne farmaya (Surah At-Tawbah, Aayah 51):

قُل لَّن يُصِيبَنَآ إِلَّا مَا كَتَبَ ٱللَّهُ لَنَا هُوَ مَوۡلَىٰنَاۚ وَعَلَى ٱللَّهِ فَلۡيَتَوَكَّلِ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنُونَ,

“Say, ‘Never will we be struck except by what Allah has decreed for us; He is our protector.’ And upon Allah let the believers rely.”
“Keh do: Hamen kabhi koi museebat nahin pohnch sakti magar jo Allah ne hamare liye likh di hai. Woh hamara hami-o-nasir hai. To momineen ko Allah par hi bharosa rakhna chahiye.

Molvi ka Role

Molvi ya Mullah ka lafz khas tor par South Asian society mei ziada common hai. In se murad aam tor par woh shakhs hota hai jis ne formally Islamic taleem hasil ki hoti hai.

Jabke Qurani tor par Imam ko rehnuma aur Molana ko hami ya protector ka rutba diya gaya hai, hamare region mein inka maqam aam tor par sirf Islamic education tak mehdood ho gaya hai.

Lekin ek aam Musalman ki zindagi mein “Molvi” ka ta’alluq bachpan se le kar burhape tak rehta hai:

• Paida hota hai, to Azaan ke liye
  
  

• Quran shuru karta hai, to Bismillah ke liye
  
  

• Bimari mei dam-durood ke liye
  
  

• Shadi mei Nikah ke liye
  
  

• Mout par Qul o Khatam ke liye
  
  

Yeh rishta puri zindagi saath chalta hai. Lekin is gehre aur long-lasting taluq ke bawajood bhi, aaj hum aksar Molviyon par tanqeed karte sunte hain — khaaskar talk shows aur social media platforms par.

Is masle ko samajhne ke liye humein thoda sa history mei jaana hoga.

Social Institutions ka Tazkara

1873 mei Herbert Spencer aur F. Stuart Chapin ne Social Institutions ka concept pesh kiya. In institutions mei shamil hain:

• Government
  
  

• Religion
  
  

• Family
  
  

• Education
  
  

• Economy
  
  

Pakistan, jo ke aik Muslim majority mulk hai, wahan religious institution ko ziada tar Molvi hi represent karta hai. Kuch log yeh bhi samajhte hain ke hamare muashray ki moral degradation ka zimmedar bhi yehi log hain, kyunke inki zimmedari hai logon tak Islami taleemat aur akhlaqiyat ka paigham pohchana.

Lekin sirf taleem de dena kafi nahi, jab tak us par amal aur enforcement na ho.

Agar aaj kisi mulk ko developed kaha jata hai to uski buniyad hoti hai us ka justice aur accountability ka nizam.

Duniya ke top 10 developed countries ko dekha jaye to sab se bada farq unka adalti nizam hai.

Yani:
Morality + Justice = True Development

Rasoolullah ﷺ ke daur mei bhi yehi system tha. Jab ek aurat ne chori ki, to aap ﷺ ne usay uske jurm par saza dene ka hukm diya — taake muashray mei misaal qayam ho. Reham aur mohabbat apni jagah, lekin adal ka nizam bhi apni jagah zaroori hai.

Pakistan

Pakistan mei aam tor par imam ya molana ka sirf lafzi status diya jata hai — lekin ikhtiyar ki had tak woh sirf ek Molvi hi rehta hai. Woh kisi chhoti si tijarat ke zariye deen ka kaam karta hai. Baghair kisi shikwa shikayat ke, apne faraiz anjaam deta hai.

Sirf Pakistan mei:

• 80,000 se zyada registered madrasa hain
  
  

• Har saal 78,000 se zyada huffaz tayar hote hain
  
  

• Duniya mei sabse zyada huffaz yahin se nikalte hain
  
  

Pakistan aik qarzdar mulk hai — log tax nahi dete, lekin sadqa-o-khairat mei sab se aage hain. Aakhir koi to hai jo unhein mazhabi faraiz se agah karta hai!

Tanqeed ka Nishana

Lekin ajeeb baat yeh hai ke Molvi hi sabse aasan target ban jaata hai.

Aap khud sochiye:

• Mufti Tariq Masood,
  
  

• Molana Tariq Jameel
  
  

In logon ke social media handles ko dekhiye. Jab ye samaji masail par baat karte hain to log un videos ko nahi dekhte. Algorithms unhein promote nahi karte.

Lekin jab koi clip hoti hai jisme thodi entertainment ho — jaise chaar shadiyon ya hooron ka tazkara to log dekhte hain, aur algorithm bhi promote karta hai.

Natija: Ek ghalat tasveer samne aati hai.

Asal masla yeh hai ke hum apne pasandeeda shakhs ya idare ko bina galti k dekhna chahte hain. Lekin yeh bhool jate hain ke insan galti ka putla hai. Har shakhs ya idara perfect nahi ho sakta.

Jaise aik doctor ki ghalti se sab doctors ghalat nahi ho jaate, waise hi ek Molvi ki ghalti sab Molviyon ka aib nahi ban jaata.

Sochiye...

Haqeeqat yeh hai ke aapko har masle par mukhtalif raye sunne ko milegi. Lekin faisla aapne khud karna hai. Kya humari soch ka mayar yeh hoga ke jo baat sabse pehle kan tak pahunch jaye, wahi sach hai?

Ya phir hum Allah ke hukm par amal karte hue ghor o fikr bhi karein?

Quran mein Allah Ta’ala baar baar farmata hai:
