Shahbaz Sharif reinserts Sunni Islamist chapters in school curricula after joint protest by Ansar Abbasi and Sipah-e-Sahaba
http://jang.com.pk/jang/mar2013-daily/24-03-2013/u140756.htm
We regret to announce that in response to a joint protest by Deobandi militants of the Sipah-e-Sahaba (ASWJ-LeJ) and their right-wing lackeys in the Jang Group (led by Ansar Abbasi Deobandi), PML-N led Punjab government has decided to cancel the recently implemented reforms in the school curricula. In the meanwhile, Shahbaz Sharif’s paid and unpaid (liberal-secular seeming) promoters and consultants are completely silent on this entire episode.
Recently the curriculum reform committee in the Punjab province had revised the curriculum in secondary schools to make it more inclusive by removing those Islamist chapters which are of no interest or importance to non-Muslims (4% of the population) and non-Sunni Muslims (20% of the population).
Several Islamist chapters including Sunni Islamist chapters were removed from the 10th class Urdu text book edition published in February 2013.
The change was motivated by a desire to remove the menace of Islamist and sectarian violence (by Deobandi militants of the Sipah-e-Sahaba ASWJ-LeJ and other militant groups) from the curricula.
For example, the following chapters were replaced with more inclusive chapters on literature, civic and ethics.
‘Islamic ideology of Pakistan’
‘Hazrat Umar (RA)- a Great Administrator’
Islam-related poems e.g., ‘Rabbe Kainaat’ (God of the Universe) of Maulana Altaf Hussain Hali, ‘Mohsin-e-Insaniat (PBUH)’ (the Saviour of Humanity) by Mahirul Qadri, ‘Tulu-e-Islam’ (the rise of Islam) of Allama Iqbal, ‘Siddiq (RA)’ on Hazrat Abu Bakar Siddiq (RA) by Allama Iqbal, ‘Shaan-e-Taqwa’ (Honour of Piety) by Allama Iqbal
The new edition of the ‘Urdu compulsory for 10th class’ does not include the very first chapter of the earlier edition’s prose i.e ‘Hazrat Umar Farooq (RA)- a great administrator’ by Allama Shibli Naumani. The new text book’s first chapter is an essay on writer ‘Mirza Muhammad Saeed’ written by Shahid Ahmad Dehlvi.
The second chapter in the old edition was on ‘Ideology of Pakistan’ written by Dr Ghulam Mustafa Khan. This chapter highlighted the Islamist basis for the creation of Pakistan and endorsed that the country was created in the name of Islam, to make it an Islamic state, has been replaced by a new chapter on ‘Princess of Paristan’ (Paristan ki shahzadi) written by Ashraf Saboohi.
The third chapter of the old edition of the 10th class text book was ‘Musaddas-e-Hali’ written by Moulvi Abdul Haq. This chapter narrates how a Muslim poet in the 19th century influenced the hearts and minds of the Muslims. It has now been replaced by a writing of Dr Waheed Qureshi on ‘Eidul Fitr in Urdu Literature’ (Urdu Adab main Eidul Fitr).
Similarly the chapters like ‘Sacrifice’ (Eisaar) by Deputy Nazir Ahmad, was removed from the new 10th class text book. The story is about a Muslim child who distributed his Eidi to a poor family.
Another chapter of the old book ‘Fatima binte (daughter of) Abdullah’ written by Mirza Adeeb has also removed from the new Urdu compulsory of class 10 for Punjab students. This story was about a 10-year old daughter of an Arab leader Abdullah. The story is about Jihad and the young Muslim girl’s urge to help the Muslim Mujahideen (warriors) in Jihad against non-Muslim forces. The girl was martyred and did her parents proud. Allama Muhammad Iqbal too wrote a poem on this young girl with the title ‘Fatima binte Abdullah’. Allama presented her as a role model for Muslim youth.
A chapter Nam Dev Mali was, instead, included in the book that was about an expert Hindu gardener who was killed when attacked and stung by honey bees. The writer of this short story Maulvi Abdul Haq described the death of the expert Hindu gardener as ‘having embraced Shahadat (martyrdom)’.
One of the chapters in the old edition was about ‘The deprived of inheritance’ (Mahroom-e-Virasat) by Allama Rashidul Khairi has also been excluded. This chapter focused on women’s rights in Islam.
One chapter called ‘Travelling is the key to success’ (Safar Kamiabi ki Kunji hay) written by Moulana Abdul Haleem Sharar, has also been removed. It covered the adventures, jihad, travelling etc of the great Muslim leaders.
A chapter on the ‘words of poets’ (Shaeron ki batain) in the old book has also been removed. The chapter presented different aspects particularly self respect of Muslim poets.
On the poetry side all the Islamic poems including ‘Rabe Kainaat’ of Maulana Altaf Hussain Hali, Tulu-e-Islam of Allama Iqbal, ‘Mohsin-e-Insaniat’ of Mahirul Qadri, ‘Siddiq (RA) on Hazrat Abu Bakar Siddiq (RA) by Allama Iqbal, ‘Shaan-e-Taqwa’ (which is against drinking) by Allama Iqbal etc have also been removed in the new text book.
Two ghazals of Khawaja Mir Dard on Islamic Sufism were also removed from the new text. Poetry of a Indian poet Firaq Gorakhpuri has been included in the text book and the poet is presented as a hero awarded by the Indian and Russian governments.
While the title page of the book contains the picture of Allama Iqbal, it does not contain any of his poetem. Excluding overly Sunni Islamist poetry, the new text book, however starts with a Hamd (praise of Almighty Allah) and Naat (praise of Hazrat Muhammad — PBUH).
Unfortunately, despite a plethora of paid and unpaid secular consultants and prmoters (Raza Rumi, Marvi Sirmed, Mosharraf Zaidi), Shahbaz Sharif (CM Punjab) deemed it fit to cancel the secular and inclusive reforms in the school curricula.
Shame on Shahbaz Sharif and his paid consultants and flatterers Raza Rumi, Mosharraf Zaidi and Marvi Sirmed (Akram Lahori’s niece).
Shame on Ansar Abbasi and other paid employees of Mir Shakil Rehman (Jang Group).
Shame on all those who are ignoring this news item.
This is Jhangvi’s Punjab led by right-wingers and pro-establishment fake liberals.
Ahamdis, Christians, Hindus, Shias have no place in Punjab and entire Pakistan.
Ansar Abbasi’s pearls of wisdoms in daily The News:

ISLAMABAD: The Punjab government has excluded several key subjects from the fresh 10th class Urdu text book edition published in February 2013 which is now being marketed for new students of matric.
These subjects include ‘Islamic ideology of Pakistan’ and ‘Hazrat Umar (RA)- a Great Administrator’ besides removing persuasive Islam-related poems of even poets like Allama Iqbal. On the poetry side, all the Islamic poems including ‘Rabbe Kainaat’ of Maulana Altaf Hussain Hali, ‘Mohsin-e-Insaniat (PBUH)’ (the Saviour of Humanity) by Mahirul Qadri, ‘Tulu-e-Islam’ (the rise of Islam) of Allama Iqbal, ‘Siddiq (RA)’ on Hazrat Abu Bakar Siddiq (RA) by Allama Iqbal, ‘Shaan-e-Taqwa’ (which is against drinking) by Allama Iqbal etc have also been removed in the new text book.
While the title page of the book contains the picture of Allama Iqbal, it does not contain any poem of the great poet of Islam and Pakistan.
The new edition of the ‘Urdu compulsory for 10th class’ does not include the very first chapter of the earlier edition’s prose i.e ‘Hazrat Umar Farooq (RA)- a great administrator’ by Allama Shibli Naumani. The new text book’s first chapter is an essay on writer ‘Mirza Muhammad Saeed’ written by Shahid Ahmad Dehlvi.
The second chapter in the old edition was on ‘Ideology of Pakistan’ written by Dr Ghulam Mustafa Khan. This important chapter highlighted the basis for the creation of Pakistan and endorsed that the country was created in the name of Islam, to make it an Islamic state, has been replaced by a new chapter on ‘Princess of Paristan’ (Paristan ki shahzadi) written by Ashraf Saboohi.
The third chapter of the old edition of the 10th class text book was ‘Musaddas-e-Hali’ written by Moulvi Abdul Haq. This chapter narrates how a Muslim poet in the 19th century influenced the hearts and minds of the Muslims. It has now been replaced by a writing of Dr Waheed Qureshi on ‘Eidul Fitr in Urdu Literature’ (Urdu Adab main Eidul Fitr).
Similarly the chapters like ‘Sacrifice’ (Eisaar) by Deputy Nazir Ahmad, which has a great lesson for children, has been removed from the new 10th class text book. This chapter gives the lesson of how the affluent should help the poor. The story is about a child, who distributed his Eidi to a poor family.
Another important chapter of the old book ‘Fatima binte (daughter of) Abdullah’ written by Mirza Adeeb has also disappeared from the new Urdu compulsory of class 10 for Punjab students. This story was about a 10-year old daughter of an Arab leader Abdullah. The story is about Jihad and the young Muslim girl’s urge to help the Muslim Mujahideen in Jihad against un-Islamic forces. The girl was martyred and did her parents proud.
This incident has such an importance that even Allama Muhammad Iqbal had also written a poem on this young girl with the title ‘Fatima binte Abdullah’. Allama presented her as a role model for Muslim youth.
A chapter Nam Dev Mali was, instead, included in the book that was about an expert Hindu gardener who was killed when attacked and stung by honey bees. The writer of this short story Maulvi Abdul Haq described the death of the expert Hindu gardener as ‘having embraced Shahadat (martyrdom)’.
One of the chapters in the old edition was about ‘The deprived of inheritance’ (Mahroom-e-Virasat) by Allama Rashidul Khairi has also been excluded. This chapter focused on the un-Islamic tradition of depriving women of inheritance.
One chapter called ‘Travelling is the key to success’ (Safar Kamiabi ki Kunji hay) written by Moulana Abdul Haleem Sharar, a great Urdu writer, has also been removed. It covered the adventures, jihad, travelling etc of the great Muslim leaders.
A chapter on the ‘words of poets’ (Shaeron ki batain) in the old book has also been removed.
The chapter presented different aspects particularly self respect of Muslim poets.
On the poetry side all the Islamic poems including ‘Rabe Kainaat’ of Maulana Altaf Hussain Hali, Tulu-e-Islam of Allama Iqbal, ‘Mohsin-e-Insaniat’ of Mahirul Qadri, ‘Siddiq (RA) on Hazrat Abu Bakar Siddiq (RA) by Allama Iqbal, ‘Shaan-e-Taqwa’ (which is against drinking) by Allama Iqbal etc have also been removed in the new text book.
Two ghazals of Khawaja Mir Dard on Islamic Sufism and two ghazals of Mirza Ghalib have also been removed from the new text. Poetry of a Indian poet Firaq Gorakhpuri has been included in the text book and the poet is presented as a hero awarded by the Indian and Russian governments.
While the title page of the book contains the picture of Allama Iqbal, it does not contain any poem of the great poet of Islam and Pakistan. Excluding extremely impressive Islamic poetry, the new text book, however starts with a Hamd (praise of Almighty Allah) and Naat (praise of Hazrat Muhammad — PBUH).

I wonder whether it was Urdu Book or Islamiat. ???
So the 10th class Urdu book was Quran that one can’t change it. This clearly shows how much it is difficult to change the present extremist mindset in Pakistan. So who will decide the fate of this country ,, these so called pseudo intellectual-cum-Journalist???? I love Hazrat Umer(RA) for his great contribution but Administration is not the subject of Urdu text book,and it can be introduced and analysed better at its relevant subject. God Bless Pakistan.
@Azmat
I am a Christian. Why should I be forced to read about Islamic personalities in curricula? At most, Islamic things can be separated and placed in a book on Islamic studies.
I am an atheist. Why should I read about religious history and personalities as a part of school curriculum?
I am a Shia. Why should I be forced to read about first three Caliphs whom Shia Islamic history don’t paint in worthy light?
Question is: Why do we need to learn about religion as a part of the curricula at all. Why can’t religious education be left to private sphere (in the house)?
We have been reading fake stories about Muhammad bin Qasim, Mahmud Ghaznavi, 1965 war etc.
We have also been reading fairy tales about early history of Islam, such as:

LAANAT!
I work for a newspaper Group. Here is another information. Several years ago, at the behest of LeJ, Ansar Abbasi planned killing of Nazir Naji. Comrade Naji got the air. He per-emptied Abbasi’s plan, by planting a young journalist as a tout of Abbasi. The Journalist “interviewed” Nazir Naji while he (Naji) posed as a “drunk” person. In the interview Naji abused Ansar Abbasi. The interview was “recorded” and posted on a website. That brought Abbasi-Naji war to an open, thus thwarting Abbasi’s plans to get Naji killed in a car-bomb explosion… if Naji would have been killed, then all blame would have gone to Abbasi. Smart naji saved his life!!! Cute.
Note: For my own safety I am using a fake name. Zahid Akram is not my real name.
You exhibited another extreme mindset. When i said relevant subject at relevant place than your observation is out of place and also one can’t label the knowledge as Islamic or un-Islamic. Religion should be taught in school from an academic standpoint with the option to learn about the official beliefs and viewpoints of every major religion.

Lifetime Fitness est un club de santé qui opère dans la région du Midwest. Ce que j’ai trouvé dans cet établissement pour être une idée de cadeau passionnant et distinctif sont leurs séances d’escalade pour 12 ans de plus. À une époque où les adolescents sont axées sur l’électronique qui interfèrent parfois avec des niveaux d’activité physique, il s’agit d’une excellente façon d’obtenir votre adolescent et le déplacement et faire quelque chose qui est audacieux et amusant, mais toujours en sécurité. Les séances d’escalade proposés ici sont deux heures des cours d’introduction qui répondent pour environ 6 semaines (vous devriez contacter le club directement pour le calendrier exact) ou vous pouvez opter pour les sessions de montée ouverts moins structurés. Ces sessions de montée ouvertes sont même ouverts aux enfants dès l’âge de 5. Heures d’ouverture: Cet endroit est ouvert 24/7. Je conseille d’appeler pendant les heures normales de bureau avec des questions que vous pourriez avoir.
keep up the nice work on the site. Do like it! :p Could use some more frequent updates, but i am sure that you got other things things to do like we all do. =)
