Jamaat-e-islami’s entry to politics: Will they amend their constitution

Before last general election(2009) jamaat declared their decision to enter politics. But it not happened in that election. We don’t know the reason. It may be some technical obstacles because of their constitution. If jamaat is thinking about full engagements in politics like other political parties they have to amend their present constitution.
Really, jamaat’s ideology is against all form of secularism, soft and hard,western and Indian. Today jamaat says they are not against Indian secularism.But when we go through their constitution we can surely say that jamaat is not only against Indian secularism but Indian democracy and nationalism also. In a detail analisation one may find that their ideology is totally against Indian constitution.
If jamaat amend their constitution to enter politics, there will be no difference with other muslim religious organizations and parties like muslim league.


EXCERPTS FROM JAMAAT-E-ISLAMI”S CONSTITUTION

Article3 …Explanation: The meaning of the first part of this creed — i.e., the exalted Allah being the only God and no one else being a god — is that the very same Allah is the Rightful Deity and Law — giving Sovereign of all human beings Who is the Creator, the Sustainer, the Controller, the Lord of us all and of the entire universe as well as the Sovereign and the Author of all the creations. He alone is deserving of worship and He alone is the Rightful One to Whom obedience and allegiance are due, and no one in any of these capacities is His associate.
should not recognize anyone except Allah as lord of the Dominions and Supreme Authority, nor acknowledge anyone competent to command and forbid on his own authority, nor own anyone as being in his own right a permanent and absolute law-giver and law-maker; and should refuse to acknowledge as valid all those allegiances which are not subservient to the allegiance of the One Allah and His Law, for Allah is the only legitimate Lord of His domain and the only lawful Sovereign of His creation. To none, excepting Him, accrues the right to lordship and sovereignty.

should make the seeking of the pleasure of, and closeness to, the Exalted Allah the sole object of all his exertions and endeavours and the pivot of his entire existence;
should not acknowledge the permanent and absolute leadership and guidance of anyone excepting God’s Messenger; the act of following others should be subject to its conforming with Allah’s Book1 and the Sunna 2 of Allah’s messenger and not independent of these;
should take the Book of God and Sunna of His Messenger alone as the real sanction and authority and the ultimate source to fall back upon in every matter of his life; should adopt an idea, belief or method which is in accordance with the Book and the Sunna and should give up that which is against them;
should eradicate from his heart all prejudices current in pre-Islamic days, whether they have anything to do with his person and family, or tribe and race, or nation and country, or community and Jamaat. He should not be so enamoured of or devoted to anybody that love and devotion to him should subdue the love and devotion to the truth brought by God’s Messenger or should become its rival;
Article 4: the objective of the Jamaat-e-iIslami Hind is Iqaamat-e-Deen,1 the real motive of which is solely the achievement of divine pleasure and success in the Hereafter.

Explanation: the word “ Deen” in the term “ Iqaamat-e-Deen” means that true Deen which Allah, the Lord of the worlds, had been sending through all His prophets in different ages and different lands and which He revealed in its final and perfect form for the guidance of all men, through His Last Prophet, Hazrat Muhammad (Allah’s blessings and peace be on him!), and which is now in the world the only authentic, pristine Deen and the only one which is acceptable to Allah, the name of which is Islam.

This Deen encompasses the exterior and the interior of man as well as all individual and collective aspects of his life. There is not even a single aspect of human life ranging from beliefs, rituals and morals to economic, social and political aspects which may be beyond its pale.

Just as this Deen ensures Divine pleasure and success in the Hereafter, it is also the best system of life for the proper solution of all worldly problems, and righteous and progressive reconstruction of individual and social life is possible only through its establishment.

Iqaamat of this Deen means that it, in its entirety and without exercising any discrimination or division, should be sincerely followed and followed single-mindedly. It should be so enforced and given effect to in all aspects of human life, individual as well as corporate, that the development of the individual, the reconstruction of society and the formation of State should all conform to this very Deen.

JAMAAT-E-ISLAMI & GENERAL ELECTION 2009

first i start with an over view of jamaa-athe islami's policy on 2009's general election in kerala.jamaa-ath voted 18/20 LDF candidates& 2/20 UDF candidates in kerala.because... jamaa-ath says....(1) more left front MPs needs in parliament as powerfull force against pro-amarican pro-israel policies & hindu fascist forces.
(2) at the same time more powerfull muslim candidates also needed. so jamaa-ath voted for 2 muslim UDF candidates in wayanad(congress) &ponnani(muslim league).
(see kerala ameer's interviews in madhyamam daily-09april3& probodhanam weekly)
COMMENT: jamaa-ath's general position is vote &strengthen LEFT.they deviate from this position for the (2)nd reason.but the opposite LDF candidates in wayanad&ponnani also muslim candidates.then why they did not vote them.are they not power full candidate for minoruity's interests? congress candidates in wayanad M ISHANAVAS supports all congress's pro-israel policies & pro-american neuclear treaty .then how he will be powerfull muslim? Ameer says jamaa-ath will support UPA candidates only in UPA-NDA face to face contesting constituencies. in these 2 constituencies there was not such a condition.
in ponnani they votedETMohamed basheer(Muslm league).in last assembly election jamaa-ath did not vote basheer.then was he not powerfull muslim& not qualified candidate beingMLA?how ET became qualified candidate to parliament within two years?is it better a candidate being LEFT & muslim than muslim candidates supporting anti muslim policies?
ET like kunjalikkutty was not ready to quit UDF cabinet when babri masjid demolished.can we expect now ideal& courageouos action from league leaders?remember one thing.Basheer did not give any promise to voters he will oppose UPA's so called policies.he did not say at least one word against neuclear treaty & pro israel policies.
THEN WHY JAMAA-ATH DID NOT VOTE Husain Randathani & Rahmathulla?(continues)
