* this post is for everybody. took india-pakistan just as an example.
its ok to love one's place of birth but there's no place for *nationalism* in Islam. we cannot support our nation blindly knowing we are wrong. we cannot hate a "group of muslims" just because our leaders dislike them. you cannot hate a muslim because s/he hates muslims from your country. their deeds for them and our deeds for us.
on Day of Judgment, only faith and deeds will be analysed. neither number of nuclear weapons nor economic development.
Prophet said, "He is not one of us who calls for "assabiyyah" (nationalism/tribalism) or who fights for "assabiyyah" or who dies for "assabiyyah".
Prophet "Leave it (nationalism, racism, and patriotism), it is rotten." [Muslim and Bukhari]
"...People should give up their pride in nations because that is a coal from the coals of hellfire...."
[Abu Dawood and Tirmidhi]

Good post. The world would be considerably better without blind nationalism and factionalism.
Re: indian/pakistani muslims cannot hate each other...
The only concern I have is for fellow Muslims, not a piece of land InshaAllah...
I dislike nationalism and all that gunk. And I don't like any current person in power.

Re: indian/pakistani muslims cannot hate each other...
We can certainly hate those Muslims who fight in the secular army against Muslims. Point being, the passion of Indian Muslims to work in Indian Army for martyring Pakistani Muslims. Many scholars have made takfeer on such Indian Muslims and I agree with them whole-heartedly.

I know it doesn't work like that, but if you're going to hate someone, hate the individual because of their deeds or personality, not because they belong to a different religion or live in a different piece of dirt to you.

We hate the actions of individuals, not the individual itself. Who knows tomorrow that individual changes his actions and we start loving him? So yea, we love that individual as a creation of God but not his actions. If he changes his actions and brings them in accordance with God, its a win-win situation. We already appreciate his existence as a human, add to that our appreciation and love for his good actions.

We should strive to work that way otherwise we're not doing our best to follow the best of akhlaaq wal adaab. With that being said, people should only be judged by their actions and words.

Re: indian/pakistani muslims cannot hate each other...
Ok obviously I jumped in suddenly and you guys are talking about what I wasn't. I never said we shouldn't strive that way nor we shouldn't follow that adab.
Surely I can hate the person who does wrong? And surely I can hate the one who deserves it? I'm not going to like someone who mocks our deen nor those who do things that your mind would never have contemplated. That's what I was talking about.

The others have already clarified the issue but just to point an error

that is contradiction by the way. The actions and speech of a person are mostly based upon a person's belief, which is directly dependent upon a person's religion.

Not entirely, no. You could be a racist, yet never speak a word about it or act upon it.

Ofcourse. Sorry, I thought you meant people in general (like from different countries). Of course you're in your right to hate a bad person who does bad things like mock your religion. Mistunderstanding.
Fe Amaanillah.

I don't know what this has to do with the point I raised. But are you sure about what you said? People are judged by their speech and actions. How can a person be a racist when he has not acted upon his thoughts (action of tongue or limbs)? This is like saying a person can be a murderer without inciting a murder or killing someone!
