Reality of State, Jihad & Afghan Policy | Hazrat Mufti Abdul Raheem Exclusive Podcast | Abdul Wadood

Is obedience to the state conditional or absolute in Islam? How should Muslims view armed resistance, state sovereignty, and international borders? What is the reality of speaking truth to power in today’s political landscape? In this comprehensive and thought-provoking podcast, senior journalist and anchor Maulana Anwar Ghazi hosts renowned Islamic scholar Hazrat Maulana Mufti Abdul Raheem (Patron, Jamia-tur-Rasheed Karachi & Chairman, Majlis-e-Ilmiya Pakistan). Together, they delve deep into the most contentious religious, constitutional, and geopolitical issues facing Pakistan today. From the theological stance of Ahl al-Sunnah wal-Jama'ah on state authority and rebelling against rulers (Khuruj) to the complexities of Pak-Afghan border tensions, private militias, and the constitutional legitimacy of modern governance, this episode provides clarity grounded in the Quran, Sunnah, and Islamic jurisprudence. ═══════════════════════════════════════════ 📌 KEY TOPICS DISCUSSED: ═══════════════════════════════════════════ • The Concept of State in Islam: Comparing modern democratic Pakistan with the State of Madinah. • State Defense vs. Religious Rites: Why defending the homeland takes precedence (historical lessons from the Battle of the Trench / Ghazwa-e-Khandaq). • Speaking Truth to Tyrants (Kalima-e-Haq): Dispelling common misconceptions about how and when scholars should advise rulers. • Obedience to the Ruler: Theological evidence prohibiting armed rebellion (Baghawat/Khuruj) even in the face of tyranny or economic oppression. • State Primacy: "The State of Pakistan comes before Jamia-tur-Rasheed" — Mufti Abdul Raheem’s unequivocal stance. • Private Jihad vs. State Authority: Why non-state armed factions and short-term militancy violate classical Islamic jurisprudence. • Border Sovereignty & Fitna al-Khawarij: Addressing extremist ideologies that reject national boundaries and constitutional treaties. • Pakistan-Afghanistan Dynamics: Foreign policy shifts, diplomatic engagements, and lasting peace in the region. • Public Grievances & Civil Unrest: Shariah perspective on roadblocks, protests in Kashmir, and public demonstrations. • Mandates & Electoral Integrity: The reality behind Form-47 allegations, political power plays, and parliamentary accountability. ═══════════════════════════════════════════ ═══════════════════════════════════════════ 👤 FEATURED GUEST: ═══════════════════════════════════════════ Hazrat Maulana Mufti Abdul Raheem (DB) Chancellor & Patron, Jamia-tur-Rasheed, Karachi | Al Ghazali University ═══════════════════════════════════════════ 🔔 CONNECT WITH US: ═══════════════════════════════════════════ If you found this conversation insightful, please like, share, and subscribe to support independent, in-depth intellectual discourse.
