(Part 29)
Parties and Their Effects Towards Disintegration
Modern parties and organizations are built by western countries and have been extended in all parts of the world. Partisanism in advanced societies has been able to transform the culture of violence and force into the culture of negotiation and demand. Those organizations and partisanships in the West may have been able to give a suitable tune to the violent political behavior, crisis, constant tension, civil war and political disturbances have been replaced the political stability and peace; But honestly speaking using the intellectual useless of Western thinkers will not be useful for all societies. Not all countries have similar cultures so that we cannot enforce the cultural issues of one society into another society without modifying them. For example: when the invaders of the Soviet Union, the United States and NATO (Marxist and Capitalist) occupied Afghanistan, the aforementioned countries spent a lot of money and underwent heavy death toll and heavy casualties to create and maintain systems based on democratic parties; but that western version was not only appropriate in our country; but rather, it caused the country suffer lots of calamities.
After the repetitive liberation of the country, all the foundations of democracy were easily destroyed; Because it would be very difficult and impossible to adapt and continue the foreign culture after the end of their temporary ruling among the Muslim people of Afghanistan. By eliminating the principles, the sub-branches also disappeared by themselves.
Basics and Structure of Parties
The word “Party” has been mentioned repetitively in the Holy Qur’an, as an example, we can refer to the below verses that say:
[5:56] Al-Māidah-الْمَآئِدَة
“وَ مَنۡ یَّتَوَلَّ اللّٰہَ وَ رَسُوۡلَہٗ وَ الَّذِیۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡا فَاِنَّ حِزۡبَ اللّٰہِ ہُمُ الۡغٰلِبُوۡنَ ﴿۵۶﴾
And the one who makes friends with Allah and His Messenger (blessings and peace be upon him) and the believers, then (they are the people who are Allah’s party), and (it is the people of) Allah’s party who will surely overmaster.
[23:53] Al-Mu’minūn-الْمُؤْمِنُوْن
“فَتَقَطَّعُوۡۤا اَمۡرَہُمۡ بَیۡنَہُمۡ زُبُرًا ؕ کُلُّ حِزۡبٍۭ بِمَا لَدَیۡہِمۡ فَرِحُوۡنَ ﴿۵۳﴾
But they broke the command of their din (religion) into sects by disagreeing amongst themselves. Each sect is pleased with that much (portion of din [religion]) which they have.
[58:22] Al-Mujādalah-الْمُجَادَلَة
“لَا تَجِدُ قَوۡمًا یُّؤۡمِنُوۡنَ بِاللّٰہِ وَ الۡیَوۡمِ الۡاٰخِرِ یُوَآدُّوۡنَ مَنۡ حَآدَّ اللّٰہَ وَ رَسُوۡلَہٗ وَ لَوۡ کَانُوۡۤا اٰبَآءَہُمۡ اَوۡ اَبۡنَآءَہُمۡ اَوۡ اِخۡوَانَہُمۡ اَوۡ عَشِیۡرَتَہُمۡ ؕ اُولٰٓئِکَ کَتَبَ فِیۡ قُلُوۡبِہِمُ الۡاِیۡمَانَ وَ اَیَّدَہُمۡ بِرُوۡحٍ مِّنۡہُ ؕ وَ یُدۡخِلُہُمۡ جَنّٰتٍ تَجۡرِیۡ مِنۡ تَحۡتِہَا الۡاَنۡہٰرُ خٰلِدِیۡنَ فِیۡہَا ؕ رَضِیَ اللّٰہُ عَنۡہُمۡ وَ رَضُوۡا عَنۡہُ ؕ اُولٰٓئِکَ حِزۡبُ اللّٰہِ ؕ اَلَاۤ اِنَّ حِزۡبَ اللّٰہِ ہُمُ الۡمُفۡلِحُوۡنَ ﴿۲۲﴾
You will never find those who believe in Allah and the Day of Rising making friends with anyone who is hostile to Allah and His Messenger (blessings and peace be upon him), even though they are their fathers (and forefathers), or their sons (and grandsons), or their brothers, or their near relatives. It is they in whose hearts Allah has inscribed faith and has strengthened them with His spirit (i.e., special spiritual benefit). And He will admit them to the Gardens with streams flowing under them. They will live in them forever. Allah is pleased with them and they are pleased with Allah. It is they who are the party of (the devotees of) Allah. Remember! It is the party of (the devotees of) Allah that attain to the goal.
[58:19] Al-Mujādalah-الْمُجَادَلَة
“اِسۡتَحۡوَذَ عَلَیۡہِمُ الشَّیۡطٰنُ فَاَنۡسٰہُمۡ ذِکۡرَ اللّٰہِ ؕ اُولٰٓئِکَ حِزۡبُ الشَّیۡطٰنِ ؕ اَلَاۤ اِنَّ حِزۡبَ الشَّیۡطٰنِ ہُمُ الۡخٰسِرُوۡنَ ﴿۱۹﴾
Satan has gained mastery over them. So he has made them forget the remembrance of Allah. It is they who are Satan’s army. Know that indeed it is the party of Satan who are the losers.
[19:37] Maryam-مَرْيَم
“فَاخۡتَلَفَ الۡاَحۡزَابُ مِنۡۢ بَیۡنِہِمۡ ۚ فَوَیۡلٌ لِّلَّذِیۡنَ کَفَرُوۡا مِنۡ مَّشۡہَدِ یَوۡمٍ عَظِیۡمٍ ﴿۳۷﴾
Then their sects began to differ amongst themselves. So the disbelievers are doomed due to the presence on the Mighty Day (of Resurrection).
[33:22] Al-Aḥzāb-الْأَحْزَاب
“وَ لَمَّا رَاَ الۡمُؤۡمِنُوۡنَ الۡاَحۡزَابَ ۙ قَالُوۡا ہٰذَا مَا وَعَدَنَا اللّٰہُ وَ رَسُوۡلُہٗ وَ صَدَقَ اللّٰہُ وَ رَسُوۡلُہٗ ۫ وَ مَا زَادَہُمۡ اِلَّاۤ اِیۡمَانًا وَّ تَسۡلِیۡمًا ﴿ؕ۲۲﴾
And when the believers saw the armies (of disbelievers), they said: ‘This is what Allah and His Messenger promised us, and Allah and His Messenger (blessings and peace be upon him) have spoken the truth.’ So this (spectacle) increased their faith and their commitment to submission to Allah.
In the above verses, the party mostly means a group of people who are introduced by the knowledgeable sage and can be created for divine or satanic purposes. When the Almighty God mentions the two parties, he means a kind of confrontation, and
struggle. The members of Hizb al-Shaytan are usually those who have mobilized to
fight with the beloved Prophet of Islam – peace be upon him – and the companions of the beloved Messenger of Islam are also called Hezbollah. It is known from those verses that the party refers to a group that has the same political vision. The two opposite group of people above are usually not placed in the same category; Because they have attitudes of traits, on the other hand, people of the same spectrum usually have a lot of intellectual common points and are always fighting with the opposite side. The key elements of parties are usually division, participation and struggle.
