Contrary to what maulana wahiuddin says there is no need for reviving
ijtihad today because jtihad is merely a dogmatic exercise. Rather,
it is extremely important that the followers of Islam should be
reeducated to live in diverse societies of modern days. Through
ijtihad Muslims have been able to submerge themselves in their
religious pit holes so far, reapplying the principles of Islam in
accordance with the dogmas of Quran and Hadith thereby subjugating a
huge population for a long time. In other words, ijtihad is a means
to constantly propagandise Islamic thought and to thereby maintain
its nasty grip on people.
One aspect of the spread of Islam has to do with destroying non-
Muslims. There were numerous different sorts of great free thinking
idol worshippers in India, people who worshiped nature: trees, the
moon, the sun, the stars. These were great intellectual people but
Muslims had a set of committed missionaries who abolished many of
these people and converted the rest to Islam. Muslims gained
considerably more success through violence than Christian
missionaries.
The same trend still exist among indian muslims.One speech of Syed
Muhammad Rashid Riza is an example of such ijtihadi insight. On
closely examining the then prevailing conditions he well understood
that the balance in pre-Partition India between Muslims and the non-
Muslim majority was because of the existence of a third party—the
British. He also knew that when this third party withdrew, the
balance would be suddenly destroyed, after which muslims will have
great opportunities. On the basis of this insight, Sayyed Rashid Riza
advised Indian Muslim leaders to be active in the field of dawah or
converting others to the faith of Islam.
It is now time to abandon these nasty religious activities.
