That evening my father beat me until I was unconscious. My mother, grandmother and sisters, all were crying and begging for a little mercy. But he was not furious and mad, so did not listened anyone.
IIt was my third day at home. I was at home on a timely vacation after nine months' study in Madrassah.
The madrassah I was studying in was teaching and preaching its own brand of fundamentalist Islam. Common people call them the Panjpirs.
Panjpir is a village in the Sawabi district of N.W.F.P. province of Pakistan. The founder of this brand of extremism Maulana Mohmmad Tahir was born in this village and studied in Dewband, India.
When he completed his study and returned to his village, he built his own madrassah and declared jihad against some common rituals and ways of prayers. Like: first, when someone dies, people gather in his house on the third day and the family of the deceased give a khairat, a free meal, because they believe that God will give a reward him in the Paradise. Second, after offering every Muslim prayer, people say in a silent chorus: God forgive us, God bless us, etc. Third, when some one or some group completes the recitation of the Holy Quran, they give some rupees or a meal to the poor. Fourth, people go to the tombs where their beloved ones are buried. They offer prayer there and give some khairat.
Maulana Panjpir declared these things un-Islamic and challenged the other mullahs who were doing them religiously. He also said that the Muslims should speak and write only Arabic language, non-Muslims should been killed, women who go to markets should be beaten.

Re: From Extremism to Secularism

the ans to ur questions which u have written down u r such a bullshit person so now listen to me very carrefully u r calling panjpiris a fundamentalist or extremist u dont exactly know the meaning of islam when someone will guide u f..... called him the fundamentalist or extremist. the ans to ur 1st question that on which u blame panjpiris that the people which is gathered in the house of a person who dies to give a free meal or whatever and panjpiris are saying that this is not allowed in islam this is correct bcz our holy prophet MUHAMMAD (SAW) give the order to his companiions when Jaffar (RA) was died than MUHAMMAD(SAW) told them to send the food to their house bcz the Jaffar (RA) family have got a big ghum and they are busy in their ghum so provide them three days the food to them
and u know exactly the hindus and christians believing same as u and i will give u the example the hindus book which is Manu samarti in which the hindu pandit is saying that those people whio are not doing this like by providing the meal or whatever so that person is not acual hindu so i think u r hindu or christian bcz are doing the same thing as well
the second ans to ur second q is that is it according to ur believe that why we people cant ask dua loudly and not in group bcz the reason is that ALLAH is SAMEE and it means that ALLAH can listen to us and he is very near to us as from ur neck veins stated in quran by ALLAH and see ARAAAF 55 , Momin 60 then u will realise it
the third ans is that in quran to do zina with ur mother is mention only one time and to take the money on Deen is mentioned every where in quran like Baqarah 40 and how u can give the meaning of this ayath go with ur big mullah and then he will explain to u and if he is a poor why not he can do a job and Profphet MUHAMMAD (SAW) said 'alkaibo habibullah'
the ans to ur fouth q is exactly i dont understand u r talking abt janazagah or muqbarah if u r talking abt muqbarah u r allowed to go and u can make dua for them and do some khairath but to give poor people and not exactly at that moment but at some other moment
