INDEPENDENCE..GOOD OR BAD?

[mean machine naseem]

We see a lot of Muslim countries fighting for independence is this good thing or is it a way of separating the Muslim countries into further weaker and sub-states. If all the Muslim countries worked for a unified course, they would be much more productive. By calling for independence we see Muslims countries separating themselves from other Muslims countries. Rather what the Muslim countries should call for is the unification of all the Muslim countries and having one leader.

And patriotism & nationalism is Haram in Islam right?

I have finals these days & then I leave for Pakistan, but will be back by the end of this month. Hopefully your post will be still up and we can have some serious discussion.

For now, what do you think of this hadiths "A Momin's faith is not complete, if he doesn't love his country"

Now where did you get that hadith from. Give me the reference and ill check what it means. i can't tell u what it means because iam not a scholar.

But heres a hatidht that i do know about:

"THe one who calls for Abisiyaa(nationlism) is not one of us"

So this hadith shows that nationalism is haram. I post the rest of the reasons later on.

Very simple, nationalism should be digusting for the muslims!!!

I agree brother saghir
