Mao's Hatred <strong>of</strong> Religion<br />

L<br />

ike other communist dictators, Mao also denied the existence <strong>of</strong> Allah<br />

and tried to prevent the people from believ<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> Him. He had terrible<br />

tortures <strong>in</strong>flicted on many who believed <strong>in</strong> Allah, wanted to live by his<br />

will or tried to defend his beliefs, and resorted to all k<strong>in</strong>ds <strong>of</strong> oppression <strong>in</strong><br />

an effort to turn people away from Allah. Another side to Mao is the way<br />

that he presented himself to the Ch<strong>in</strong>ese people as a div<strong>in</strong>e be<strong>in</strong>g.<br />

This common feature <strong>of</strong> atheist dictators was revealed <strong>in</strong> the Qur'an. The<br />

verses describe Pharaoh as say<strong>in</strong>g, "…Council, I do not<br />

know <strong>of</strong> any other god for you apart from me…"<br />

(Surat al-Qasas, 38) The pa<strong>in</strong>ful end <strong>of</strong> the people who<br />

grew so arrogant and saw themselves as gods has also<br />

been revealed <strong>in</strong> the Qur'an:<br />

We brought the tribe <strong>of</strong> Israel across the sea and<br />

Pharaoh and his troops pursued them out <strong>of</strong> tyranny<br />

and enmity. Then, when he was on the po<strong>in</strong>t <strong>of</strong> drown<strong>in</strong>g,<br />

he said, "I believe that there is no god but Him <strong>in</strong><br />

whom the tribe <strong>of</strong> Israel believe. I am one <strong>of</strong> the Muslims."<br />

What, now! When previously<br />

you rebelled and were one <strong>of</strong> the corrupters?<br />

Today we will preserve your<br />

body so you can be a Sign for people<br />

who come after you. Surely many people<br />

are heedless <strong>of</strong> Our Signs. (Surah<br />

Yunus: 90-92)<br />

Like other communist dictators,<br />

Mao also claimed div<strong>in</strong>ity<br />

for himself (surely<br />

Allah is beyond that), and<br />

that twisted belief was<br />

stressed <strong>in</strong> posters <strong>of</strong> him.<br />
