The word Mullah is derived from Arabic word ''Mawla meaning ''master'' and ''guardian''. In Muslim world this word is used for Islamic scholars who are educated in Islamic theology,however in Pakistan the term Mullah is probably the most misused term with many connotations.and one of the reasons for it is that common Pakistanis lack the knowledge about Islam,in fact it wouldn't be wrong to say that we are theologically passionate but illiterate nation.and that is because of our class based Polarizing educational system.
In Pakistan there have always been people who have always used the word Mullah with negative connotations as an umbrella term to belittle and insult Islam to justify there own life style and views which contradict and infringe the religion which they claim to believe in,and thus satisfy there own ego,and than they call Mullah hypocrite???
Because Mullah has always stood up to fitna's against Islam and he is the biggest thorn against any ideology that contradicts and infringes Islam,at a time when Wannabe attitude is prevalent in Pakistan and western secular civilization is dominant and its trying to keep Muslims subjugated and stop Islamization of Muslim countries the boggy man Mullah is the main target of media.because he does not apologise for believing in Islam nor he compromises on it. since US invasion of Afghanistan through Pakistan and consequent militant revolt and terrorism in Pakistan the word Mullah is ever so increasingly used in generalized perspective with negative connotations in Pakistani media and specially in social media sphere of Pakistan Mullah is verbally slaughtered more than any other section of the society or institution.Mullah is an easy target even though he is considered most aggressive and terrorizing,Mullah is blamed for problems which he is not responsible for but mud slinging him is popular fashion.and by Mullah I don't mean clerics or Imam's of Mosques I mean everyone of us who has beard on his face (like myself) and who dares to consider Islam as the way of life and standard of right and wrong in this day an age.Islamic practices are associated exclusively with Molvis and Sunnah of holy Prophet Muhammad(PBUH) like the beard is mocked and despised not by non Muslim Pakistanis though but Muslims who claim to love Prophet Muhammad(PBUH) .
The clergy in Pakistan is also partially responsible for this situation,and categorization of Mr and Mullah in the society.After 65 years of its creation Pakistan is far from being the Islamic welfare state that it was made to be and after the rulers (civilian or military) Ullema are responsible for it, Because they have a lot of influence at social level and unlike in many other Muslim countries they have more freedom to propagate there views in Pakistan.but clergy has failed to play its rule so far.In a country like Pakistan rule of clerics was and is to propagate unity,harmony and coherence amongst Muslims on the basis of Islam, lead by example with there character and morals and educate the masses about the holistic paradigm of Islam which demands personal healing and than implementation of Sharia in communal sphere.but instead the clergy has spread sectarianism and hatred amongst Muslims of Pakistan and thus dividing them into sects and factions which are considered a wall between Islam and Kufur.where as according to Islam small difference of opinion on theological matters is suppose be a blessing for the Muslim Ummah.biggest enemy of cleric is cleric in Pakistan.when our Ullema go abroad even in non-Muslim countries they don't have any security with them but in Pakistan they have many guards with them not because they are threatened by RAW or Mossad but clerics of other school of thoughts,many clerics have contradictory attitude as well they talk about unity on TV but when they go to there Mosques and seminaries they spread sectarianism and takfiri ideology,and thus they move people away from religion rather than bring them close to it, clerics have exclusive and selective approach to Islam rather than broad and holistic.they focus to much on few things which concern social conduct and individual morality but don't give enough importance to those things about Islam which concern the society and state as a whole, for example they talk a lot about Hijab and things like that which are confined to individual morality but the countries financial system which is based on usury(which is war against Allah and his Messenger ) does not bother them so much in fact many clerics have endorsed so called Islamic banking despite admitting its not free of usury or interest, clerics blindly follow there elder clerics which fuels sectarianism.
Ullema of all school of thoughts in Pakistan want an Islamic Sharia compliant Pakistan.The final Messenger of Allah SWT Muhammad(PUBH) said ''This Ummah will always be blessed under the hand of Almighty Allah and his shade unless scholars compromise with the rulers'' . This Hadith illustrates the importance of Ullema's rule in shaping the destiny of Muslim nation,If Muslims are in chaotic situation than Ullema have to realize there fare share of responsibility for it. its time for Ullema to realize and recognize there rule in Pakistan as per Islam, I believe Ullema have more power and influence in Pakistani society than secular fringe which hates them and if they use that influence in the right manner than our future can be much better than present and Pakistan can reach its destiny.
