What does Islamic Law say about the legitimacy of suicide attack? When the war between India and Pakistan in 1965 was going on ,all newspaper were consecutively announcing the following news that our army was fighting hard and they did not even hesitate to put bombs around their bodies and blast the tanks of enemy with them. They were suicide attackers and what else? Off course they were suicide attackers. Beside this there is another method of suicide attacks in the western societies, which is called total brain washed methodology .In such societies they prepare suicide bombers by keeping them in complete solitude and without any food. When they get totally fed up from their lives, only one choice is left for them to get freedom which is to become suicide bombers. One method is based on for the defend of one’s country out of love and compassion, and the other is based on brain washing. There are many other examples in the world where armed forces fight to defend their countries and we can not label them as suiciders. This is the basic difference throughout this approach. At one place there are professional bombers, and at other place are army men who are fighting for the honor and the defense of their country. And nowadays it is great misconduct which we are observing in cases of Iraq and Afghanistan. It is their right to fight for freedom; we can not clearly say whether they are wrong in doing so (suicide attacks). They are applying the same methodology of “ do are die”, it is a war skill and an action like gorilla war, we can not blame them. But the way suicide bombers are attacking in cities and killing hundred and thousand of children, young men, women and old alike without any discrimination is unjustifiable. Quran says : “Work not in confusion in the earth after the fair ordering” (Al-Ayraaf 56) : The Prophet Muhammad (SAW) once asked that near the end of this world a time will come when the victim and the victimizer both will be unaware of the fact why they are killing or being killed. And I think that time has come now. Thousand of people are becoming victim of such suicide attacks without any involvement, neither they are part of war nor they did any crime or having any part in terrorism but are dying….why they are dying and who are killing them? We do not know any reason yet, but we can not make this opinion for freedom fighters or armed forces.
