Khurooj aur Baghawat - Dr Israr Ahmad

Dr. Israr Ahmad discusses the concept of revolution and resistance, differentiating between peaceful civil disobedience and armed revolt. He argues that while armed struggle may be permissible under certain conditions – sufficient power and just cause – its feasibility must be carefully considered. He highlights historical examples, including Gandhi's non-violent movement in India and the Iranian Revolution, emphasizing the importance of assessing the prevailing circumstances. He critiques interpretations that prohibit all forms of resistance, citing the historical position of Imam Abu Hanifa, who allowed armed revolt against unjust rulers when sufficient strength is available. He advocates for civil disobedience or a non-violent struggle as a more viable path, where people are willing to sacrifice themselves but refrain from taking the lives of others. He explains that a departure from peaceful means should not be termed 'khurooj' (rebellion). He also addresses the differing viewpoints of some scholars who oppose any form of resistance, even against oppressive rulers.
