Let's Wage a War Against Pornography in Pakistan
This Group aims to promote solidarity amongst the Pakistani's on the issue of Easy Access to Pornography in Pakistan, as the name itself suggests
“ Say (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم): "Come, I will recite what your Lord has prohibited you from: Join not anything in worship with Him; be good and dutiful to your parents; kill not your children because of poverty - We provide sustenance for you and for them; come not near to Al-Fawahish (shameful sins, illegal sexual intercourse) whether committed openly or secretly; and kill not anyone whom Allah has forbidden, except for a just cause (according to Islamic law). This He has commanded you that you may understand. “
( سورة الأنعام , Al-Anaam, Chapter #6, Verse #151)
That the values that pornography propagates are against the concept of a family. Pornography completely weakens the traditional values that favour marriage, family and children. Is that where we want our society to head. The stance of the petitioner is further fortified from the fact that Pornography clearly exploits women and is complicit in violence against women. Pornography is synonymous with domination, humiliation, and coercion of women, and reinforces sexual and cultural attitudes promoting sexual harassment. Forget kids for a second. Think about this… In a conservative society like ours a person can throw all caution to the wind and get full access to sexually explicit content with very little hurdles. What then? Where does this frustration vent out? Pre-marital affairs, extra marital affairs, rape, child molestation and what not!!!
That our children are our most valuable asset. They are considered to be the future of our nation. They are also the most vulnerable members of our society. Protecting our children against the fear of crime and from becoming victims of crime must be a national priority. Unfortunately the same advances in computer and telecommunication technology that allow our children to reach out to new sources of knowledge and cultural experiences are also leaving them vulnerable to exploitation and harm by computer-sex offenders. It is significant to be noted here that it is the responsibility on the part of the Government of Pakistan to procure all measures which could maintain the public morality in the Country; it is the duty of the state to exercise its writ on this particular subject which is threatening our future i.e. the young generation of Pakistan. In which it apparently failed to its maximum.
That after all, even though the people who are filmed in the act of prostitution are considered to be “actors” nothing could be further from the truth. Actors in a real movie or play do not actually engage in the activity that they are portraying while so called adult film “actors” are fully engaged in the activity that is portrayed. That is not acting. that is a criminal activity indeed
"Surely Allah enjoins justice, kindness and the doing of good, to kith and kin; and He forbids all that is shameful, indecent, evil, rebellious and oppressive. Pornography and the culture of pornography have all the three elements which Allah has prohibited in the above verse of the Quran: Fahsha; Munkar, Baghy. Here is a bit of terminology before we review the rest of the evidence prohibiting pornography.
i. Fahsha:
According to the Al-Mawrid Arabic-English dictionary of Munir Baalbaki, Fuhash is obscenity, vulgarity, indecency, shamelessness and something that is dirty, filthy and foul.
Fahsha, translated as anything shameful, is a Quranic term which in the Quran and Hadith has been used widely for unIslamic sexual behavior. The Quran uses it as in the above verse (Quran 16:90). It is a set of vices that embraces the whole range of evil and shameful deeds. Scholars of the Quran have included every vice which is intrinsically of a highly reprehensible character into this category whether it is fornication, nudity, public foreplay as depicted in films and photos, pornography, hurling abuses and curse words, promiscuous mixing, or dresses designed to expose the body. At the highest level of Fahsha, Allah has included adultery (Quran 17:32) and same gender sex (Quran 7:80; 27:54).
All scholars agree pornography is included in the term Fahsha.
ii. Al-Munkar
Al-Mawrid English - Arabic Dictionary describes Munkar as gross, abominable, detestable, atrocious, outrageous, and flagrant.
As a major Quranic term it means something which is universally acknowledged as bad and immoral. This category includes all evils which have been unanimously condemned by the human conscience and which have been forbidden by Divine Law in all ages.
iii. Al-Baghi
According to Al-Mawrid English - Arabic dictionary, this term means wrong, injustice, outrage, and transgression.
This is something different and unique apart from protests and rallies. Yes we know that we have the dirtiest leadership ever in our country.
As we also know that our motherland is going through dark days due to easy access to pornography .And the Youth of the nation is in a crisis situation.
But we say for once forget everything and unite under the green flag and hold hands to to stand Together and Say No to Pornography in Pakistan.
Yes We Are Sindhi's
Yes We Are Punjabi's
Yes We Are Pakhtoon's
Yes We Are Balochi's
Yes We Are Gilgiti's
