Muslim Voices Promoting Islamic Non Violent Solutions - article collection
compiled by Sheila Musaji
Muslims all over the world have spoken out loudly against violence and terrorism. They have not been able to stem the tide in a world filled with injustice any more than any other religious group has been able to stem the tide.
Muslims have not only spoken out against specific criminal acts and against political organizations such as Al Qaeda, they have also spoken for spiritual and non violent solutions - dialogue and peace.
These are voices that need to be heard and amplified. Who even among Muslims have heard of Abdul Ghaffar Khan or Mubarak Awad? The tragedy is that such voices just don’t sell newspapers.
We will attempt to collect these voices and add to this collection regularly.
UPDATE 9/2009
The first of the Women’s Islamic Initiative in Spirituality and Equality (WISE) is a Jihad Against Violence: Muslim Women’s Struggle for Peace. The group is headed by Daisy Khan and based in New York City. Daisy Khan says that it is Time for a Women’s Jihad Against Violence.
UPDATE 4/28/2011
Recently, there have been a few important new articles on Islam and non-violence.
An excellent article Islam’s Nonviolent Tradition by Michael Shank and just published in The Nation, includes the following:
Khan’s campaign, while reinforced by religious rigor, was also strategically brilliant, quickly garnering global attention. Then, as now, the international community cried foul as it watched the British respond to the Red Shirts with a Qaddafi-like retribution: bombing, killing, torturing, castrating, raping, poisoning and drowning the Khidmatgars. Unsurprisingly, then, as now, a quizzical world questioned the relationship between Islam and nonviolence, to which Khan quickly countered, “There is nothing surprising in a Muslim or a Pathan [Pashtun] like me subscribing to the creed of nonviolence. It is not a new creed. It was followed fourteen hundred years ago by the Prophet all the time he was in Mecca.”
Khan was intentional about sourcing his nonviolent teachings and inspiration in the Koran, a practice his grandson Asfandyar Wali Khan continues to this day as head of the Awami National Party in Pakistan’s North-West Frontier (recently renamed Khyber-Pakhtunkwa). The preamble to the party’s platform, in fact, is an unequivocal commitment to the principles of nonviolence, the teachings of Khan and the cause of the Khidmatgars.
Beyond Pakistan, the raison d’être of Khan’s red-shirted revolution still resonates, as protests of equal proportion and principle pepper many Muslim streets today. What is critical to keep in mind, as Americans pay homage to the rolling wave of democracy washing over the Muslim world, is that the nonviolent nature of some protests is not foreign to Islam, its teachings or its culture. Khan was quick to make note of this. Mohammed, Khan quipped, taught that a Muslim is one “who never hurts anyone by word or deed,” a principle the Prophet repeats in his last sermon: “Hurt no one so that no one may hurt you.”
Khan’s movement remains notable given its size and scope, but he was not alone in his mission. Fast-forward to Khan’s counterparts in more recent years, such as the nonviolent leadership of Syrian-born Sheik Jawdat Said, whose 1964 book The Doctrine of the First Son of Adam articulates for the modern Islamic movement the concept of nonviolence. Or prominent Muslim-American human rights lawyer and writer Arsalan Iftikhar, whose upcoming Islamic Pacifism: Confessions of a Muslim Gandhi highlights the legacies of Islam’s nonviolent leaders. Iftikhar’s book, due out around the tenth anniversary of 9/11, profiles numerous notables, including the “Chechen Mahatma Gandhi,” Kunta-haji Kishiev, an ideologue of nonviolence and passive resistance.
The entire article is a must read for those interested in Islam and non-violence.
UPDATE 5/17/2011
It was reported today that Rais Bhuiyan who was shot in a hate crime immediately after 9/11 is pleading for mercy for his attacker. The news report says that
Mark Stroman, a white supremacist, would later confess he was out for revenge against those of Middle Eastern descent in Mesquite and Dallas days after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. Already, Stroman had killed one Pakistani immigrant; two weeks later, he’d kill an Indian immigrant.
Now, Bhuiyan wants to forgive.
He’ll be asking for a stay of the July 20 evening scheduled execution of Stroman, and a stop to the “cycle of violence,” as he calls it.
“Sometimes, we human beings make mistakes out of anger,” said Bhuiyan, 37, in an interview Monday with The Dallas Morning News.
Stroman, a former stonecutter, was convicted of the Oct. 4 killing of Vasudev Patel, an Indian of the Hindu faith who owned a gas station and convenience store in Mesquite.
Stroman also confessed to the Sept. 15 Dallas killing of Waqar Hasan, an immigrant from Pakistan and a Muslim, in what is believed to be the first hate crime in the U.S. after the attacks. He was charged in the shooting of Bhuiyan, a Bangledesh immigrant, on Sept. 21.
Bhuiyan said his Islamic faith led him to realize “hate doesn’t bring any good solution to people. At some point we have to break the cycle of violence. It brings more disaster.”
Yousuf Munayyer has just published an excellent article on Palestine’s Hidden History of Nonviolence. He says that “You wouldn’t know it from the media coverage, but peaceful protests are nothing new for Palestinians. But if they are to succeed this time, the West needs to start paying attention.” He then gives a much-needed history lesson.
UPDATE 6/12/2011
A British Muslim Women’s organization, INSPIRE, launches a jihad against violence in a bid to reclaim the term jihad from extremists.
