Answer:
We recognise the Taalibaan just as we recognise ourselves but does not the Quraan Shareef instruct justice even amongst ourselves?
Quran – Surah No. 4 النساء
Ayah No. 135
Translation:
O those who believe, be unpholders of justice – witnesses for Allah, even though against (the interest of) yourselves or the parents, and the kinsmen. One may be rich or poor, Allah is better caretaker of both. So do not follow desires, lest you should swerve. And if you twist or avoid (the evidence), then, Allah is all-aware of what you do.
We recognise the Taliban’s ongoing efforts to establish the Shariah but the Taalibaan are not free from sin as many would love to believe so. Such beliefs are the results of asabiyyah (nationalism) but the beauty of Islam is our pure belief system called our Aqeedah.
Now if you ask any true Muslim, “who is the best of creation after the Ambiyaa Alaihimus Salaam”
He will answer without doubt Sayyiduna Abu Bakr Radhiyallahu Anhum.This is our belief. Now anybody who opposes such a great personality whom Allah Ta’alaa refers to in the Quraan Shareef:
“When they (Rasulullah Sallahu Alaihi wa Sallam and Abu Bakr Radhiyallahu anhu) and he (Rasulullah Sallahu Alaihi wa Sallam) was saying to his companion (Sayyiduna Abu Bakr Radhiyallahu anhu), “Do not grieve, Allah is surely with us”
Surah at-Tawbah, verse 40
Our question is after demolishing the super powers of the world, what is the need to show any consideration for the enemies of Sahaabah Radhiyallahu Anhum. There seems to be an inconsistency in our love. Some may label this statement extreme but the reality is our allegiance and respect to Sahaabah Radhiyallahu Anhum comes before Taalibaan.
Many due to their deep relations with the Taalibaan will not tell you the fact that the Taalibaan have encouraged in their official media that the people of “Afghanistan (during this war with Israel) must show solidarity with the Iranian nation”.
However, we need to fear not as Shias are Kuffaar, the amount of Sunni blood they have spilled do we still give them a voice nevermind allow them to act freely in a country which we admire? We still and will continue to make Dua for their success.
The question remains with you and I? Yes it has to do with Aqeedah because this tells whether you place Taalibaan first or Sahaabah Radhiyallahu Anhum first.
Cut the diplomacy and let’s be true to our claim! Can I criticize the Taalibaan members who gave importance to this “Taliban Backed Shia conference” creating a sense of unity with the Shias?
Further the article states these interactions of giving voice to Shia scholars were displayed on their official media outlets such as RTA NEWS which is state-owned:
What message are we giving the world? Shias are Kuffaar and this must be known there is no need for any diplomacy in our ties with them nor with those who give them a voice!
Even though some members have shown more destructive open unity with the Shias than merely just supporting Iran in this war it is our hope in Allah Ta’alaa they will come to their senses and realize there is no such thing as unity with the Shias.
