A moving bus falls into a pothole, leading to the tragic deaths of innocent passengers due to an unqualified driver. Therefore, it is the grave responsibility of every responsible government to strictly ensure that incompetent individuals do not receive driving licenses. The same principle applies precisely to a nation. A nation does not face destruction due to failures in agriculture, industry, livestock farming, house construction, or business and trade. While such failures may bring poverty, they do not bring severe divine punishment. A nation experiences catastrophic punishment and faces destruction when it places a rebellious criminal, disobedient to Allah, in the seat of leadership.
Those who made a tyrant like Pharaoh their leader and deity, and took up arms in his support, did not bring any welfare to the people of Egypt. The crime of Pharaoh and the crime of the Egyptians became intertwined, and as a result, their sin made the divine punishment from Almighty Allah inevitable. That punishment did not befall Pharaoh alone but also afflicted the entire population of Egypt. Similarly, Bengali Muslims have committed a severe crime by voting for, chanting slogans in favor of, and placing in leadership someone like Mujib—an enemy of democracy, a paid agent of India, a ruthless fascist, a patron of thieves and robbers, and a fierce adversary of Islam. As a result, the promised punishment has descended upon the Bengali Muslims. It has come in the form of a horrific famine, the humiliation of carrying a bottomless begging bowl worldwide, and the torture and death of thousands of people.
In a democratic system, the responsibility of the people is immense. The faith, competence, and conscience of the people are tested by their ability to choose the right leader. Democracy provides a great opportunity to elect a capable leader and walk on the path of welfare. At the same time, democracy also creates the possibility of electing a ruthless criminal as a leader, thereby inviting divine punishment. Consequently, in a democratic nation, the blame for calamities does not fall solely on a corrupt government but also on those who elect such criminals. To assess how incompetent and faithless a nation is, no survey is needed; it can be understood simply by looking at the corrupt ruler of that country. The nature of the faithful is that they never accept a tyrannical ruler. Just as civilized villagers unite to kill a wild beast when it enters their village, the faithful also unite to eradicate an oppressive ruler. If there is no such resistance against a tyrant ruler, it indicates a severe lack of conscience, judgment, and faith among the people. Cattle and goats do not drive away tigers; rather, they are accustomed to being slaughtered by them. Similarly, cowardly individuals with a beast-like mentality do not stand against tyrants; instead, their nature is to silently accept such rule.
The Bengali Muslims have repeatedly acted with such foolishness by electing fascist criminals like Sheikh Mujib and Sheikh Hasina through their own votes. Even General Ershad, a notorious corrupt and autocratic scoundrel, was elected from five constituencies. They accepted him as president for 11 years and did not rise against him for a long time. Yet, the Bengali Muslims are not cattle and goats that they cannot recognize criminals. Despite seeing and knowing everything, they still sided with the criminals. Cattle and goats, even when slaughtered, never vote for criminals. They never chant slogans in their favor. But the “Joi Bangla” Bengalis did exactly that. Because of them, a murderer of democracy, an Indian agent, a protector of criminals, and a tyrannical Mujib came to power. And the murderer Hasina has ruled for 21 years. Regarding such foolish individuals in human form, Almighty Allah states:
“Ulaika ka al-an’aam, bal hum adall.”
Meaning: “They are like cattle, rather, they are even more misguided.”
How perfectly true this statement is—Bangladesh’s tyrannical populace and its politics stand as evidence.
