Problems”,  in ilmi technical terms,  “mush’ki’laat/ish’kaa’laat”

in this short terse lucid sura the climax of the first aaya is POWER

The  sura  concludes  with  the  with  the  aim,  yield  (to  speak  in  the  language  of  a chemical  equation)  of  “power;  authority…/qadr”  as  peace/SALAM

problem:  do  we  take  the  time  terms  lailah,  fajr,  shahr…  literally

again  in  the  language  of  the  chemical  equation  inzala/inzaal;  tanazzala/tanazzul; malaaika;  izn;  amr;  ruuh  are  the  agents,  reactants,  catalysts…  to  create  an  order  of peace/SALAAM  the  opposite  of  an  order  of  zulm  which  Parvez  Manzoor foregrounded  in  Afkar  and  elsewhere

i  am  trying  to  say  that  sura  qadr  is  a  germ(seed)  of  an  islamic  POLITICAL vision  and  program  -anti/non-machiavellian-  that  needs  to  be  developed.

once upon a time he wrote a page for children in a free national islamic newspaper

he called himself the uncle of the ummah

he wrote of the greatness of one Aayatullah Musaavi Khomeini, the muslimness of Aayatullah Musaavi Khomeini

time went by

he had a stall at a major fare

he had an arab style long kurta

he gave me a packet of literature

in contained the pornography of two prominent indian hate monger pseudo maulawies

the literature package explained that Aayatullah Muusavi Khomeini was kufr personified, shias are kuffaar, worse than majuus, hate-porn ….

as a maulawi i cannot serve islam, make adaa of Nabi Muhammad under the command, the trusteeship, the mutawalliship of such and their ilk.
