Thus, the turn of each wife fell on every nineth day. However, they all used to gather in the house of the one whose turn it was to have coitus with the prophet. It was the night of Aisha (the youngest wife) when Zainab (a pretty wife) came there. The Prophet stretched his hand towards her. As Aisha noticed it, she said “It is Zainab.” So, he withdrew his hand. The two wives got involved into an altercation, which gradually became louder and lasted till early morning when Adhan (Iqama) was announced for prayers. (As usual) Abu Bakr, father of Aisha called to accompany the Prophet to the mosque. He said, “Messenger of Allah, come for prayer, and throw dust in their mouths.” Death is just an insignificant word for them, begins the report in News of 28 November, 1997 on the annual gathering of the Mujahidin-e-Taiba. Killing those who do not share their set of Islamic values is the only reality. The congregation was flooded with thousands of people with these beliefs... And the massive gathering of people delivered one message loud and clear, the paper reports, there is no dearth of manpower in Pakistan for the fanatic forces to indoctrinate. If I die fighting, I will be greeted in heaven by Allah who will smile upon me, said a 20-year old mujahid from Okra. The paper reproduces at length the views and exhortations of Professor Saeed who heads the organization which is conducting the congregation, the Jamaat Dawa-wal-Ishad. He conveys a simple message, it says : It was God who had ordered the establishment of the law of Islam everywhere in the world. He calls for a jehad, says the paper, for ending the democratic system in Pakistan and turning it into a pure Islamic State governed by strict Shariat laws. At the congregation he rejects democracy, proclaiming, the notion of the sovereignty of the people is un-Islamic -- only Allah is sovereign. [That has been the provision in each of Pakistans three Constitutions since the Objectives Resolution was passed in 1949.] And these notions have been well internalized by the congregation, the paper reports : The whole place was full of signboards with slogans like Jamhooriat ka jawab, grenade and blast. (Our reply to democracy, grenade and blast). The Dawa chief said his organizations main interest in Pakistan was to pick people and train them to wage jehad in countries wherever an un-Islamic government was in power, the paper says. God has ordained every Muslim to fight until his rule is established, he declared. We have no option but to follow Gods order. stoke terrorism, sending army regulars, spreading fabrications at every international gathering -- it pictures to itself as jihad, as a religious undertaking, indeed as an Allah- ordained duty. Concocting lies then becomes a device for discharging that duty. War is stratagem, the Prophet has said, War is deceit. [Sahih Muslim, Volume III, pp. 945, 990-91; Sahih al- Bukhari, Volume IV, pp. 166-67; Sunan Abu Dawud, Volume II, p. 728] Thus one may lie, one may kill the enemy while he is asleep, one may kill him by tricking him. [For instance, Sahih al-Bukhari, Volume IV, pp. 164-65, That is one problem: for the man or force weaned on jihad, the concoctions are an intrinsic part of the struggle he is waging, for him the fact that the war he is waging is Allah-ordained is a complete justification for cruelty, for lies and the rest; on our side, we dont just shut our eyes to the concoctions that result from it, we shut our eyes even more tightly to the Ideology of which they are but the result
