Suicide bombing is a reaction of the suppressed against the
powerful. When anarchy prevails, law enforcing agencies fail to protect the
rights of common citizens, the bigwigs pay only lip service, and then the
suicidal bombers are born. It has engulfed almost the whole world. It has
spread such mayhem that all feel themselves unsafe. The high-ups of all the
countries feel themselves insecure because of suicidal attacks.
All of these attacks in Palestine. The Palestinians were
tortured, dishonored and killed by the Jews of Israel. They were turned on of
their homes. USA and the Jew lobby have always supported and pampered Israel. Israel
unleashed a cycle of violence in Palestine. The Palestinians were weaponless
and unarmed. They could not stand the brutal behavior imposed on them. The
young Palestinians filled with revenge at this injustice, decided to resort to
suicidal attacks.
The attackers are desperate and frustrated people. They are
not uneducated and illiterate people. They carefully converse with the world
politicians. They are emotional and ambitious young boys and girls. They attack
the enemy without caring for their life. They lose their life in a flash of
moment and hit their enemy severely.
The suicidal attacks were 'motivated for a noble and good
cause. They were charged with a spirit of seeking justice from the world. The
civilized Western world did not pay heed to the injustice done to the
Palestinians. The Palestinians put up a great resistance to the atrocities
committed on them by the Israelites. America and its prodigal Israel were at
first wonderstruck at this type of defense. The attackers lost their lives but
they also killed many people of the enemy and destroyed their buildings and
houses. There exists a network of suicidal attacks in Palestine and the Western
world is helpless before these attacks.
The suicidal attacks cause great destruction. Some vehicles
like cars or trucks are fitted in with remote controlled bombs. The attackers
strike against a building, a plaza or some notable place. He loses his life in
this act but causes a great disaster around that area. Many innocent people are
killed and a large number of buildings are destroyed. The sight of destruction
presents a ghostly spectacle. Such irrational acts cannot be liked by
home-loving people.
Man is Allah's vicegerent on earth. His very life is Allah's
trust with him. Everyone is thus ordained to act as a guard to Allah's trust on
him. He has to utilize the trust on him as prescribed by Allah. These suicide
bombers not only kill themselves but blow several innocent civilian people
along with the targeted enemy. It is a pathetic form of terrorism indeed, not
Jihad. The Holy Quran upholds the sacredness of life as: "lf anyone killed
a person unless it be for murder or for spreading mischief in the land, it
would be as if he killed the whole people, and if anyone saved a person, it
would be as if he saved the whole people." (al-Ma'ida: 32)
"And take not life which Allah has made sacred, except
by way of justice and law " (al-An'am: 151)
"And, kill (or destroy) not yourselves; verily, Allah
is Most Merciful to you."
(al-Nisa: 29)
Holy Prophet (PBUH) contradicts suicide in the following lines:
"One who killed himself with iron (i.e. some sharp instrument) would hold
that instrument in his hands in the Hell and continue striking himself with it.
And who killed himself by poisoning, would have that poison in his hands ad
would kill himself with it repeatedly. “
The above verses and hadith make it clear that under no circumstance
Allah acknowledges suicide. The abode
for such people is Inferno, not Paradise.
Suicide negates faith in Allah and the concept that life is
a trust of Allah. It is the opposite of the Islamic concept that attaches great
sanctity to human life. Instead of seeking and expecting Allah's favors, it
clashes with the Divine commands for the observance of patience, fortitude and perseverance.
It is the product of despair and loss of spirit, which the Quran declares sign
of disbelieve. That is why even aspiring for death is forbidden in Islam, let
alone committing suicide.
The cycle of violence can easily be finished by adopting the
following measures. The civilized western world should decide to undo all injustices
going on in the world. The policies adopted by the superpower America have
'made the world 'a more dangerous place to live in. It is the entire obligation
of America to see that full justice is done to the Muslims in all over the
world. The ruthless killing of the Muslims of Kashmir, Iraq and Palestine must
be stopped at once America must stop to support Israel. The Muslim rulers must
learn to usher in an era of true democracy. of their countries. If the
injustices to the Muslim keep fin going like this, suicidal attacks will also
continue. One should know clearly that violence breeds violence.
