Political and Social activism are a religious duty upon every Muslim.
On the authority of Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him),
who said: I heard the Messanger of Allah (pbuh) say: “Whosoever of you
sees an evil action, let him change it with his hand; and if he is not
able to do so, then with his tongue; and if he is not able to do so,
then with his heart - and that is the weakest of faith. (It was related
by Muslim)
Activism is regarded as imperative as praying or giving to charity.
Jihad primarily refers to the inner struggle of being a person of virtue
and submission to Allah (swt) in all aspects of life. Jihad also
refers to the struggle against injustice.
“Thus Islam enjoins upon its believers to strive utmost in purifying
themselves, as well as in establishing peace and justice in the society.
A Muslim can never be at rest when he sees injustice and oppression
around him.” (www.whyislam.org)
The Glorious Qur’an says: “And why should ye not fight in the cause
of God and of those who, being weak, are ill-treated (and oppressed)? -
Men, women, and children, whose cry is: ‘Our Lord! Rescue us from this
town, whose people are oppressors; and raise for us from thee one who
will protect; and raise for us from thee one who will help!" (Quran 3:
75)
The purpose of this site is to build awareness within the Muslims and
non-Muslims about the injustice and human rights violations around the
globe. CaptiveMinds.org will also strive to
provide suggestions on "what
you can do".
“I have been tormented and prosecuted by my enemies for reasons of
race and belief. I seek truth over a lie; I seek justice over injustice;
I seek righteousness over the rewards of evil doers; and I love Allah
more than I love the state.” – Imam Jamil al-Amin.
