Few days back I read a news report on a Pakistan's News website that a
TV journalist in Pakistan called Maya had a unique show on TV in this holy
month of Ramadhan where she converted a Hindu Pakistani boy to Islam and the
show increased its TRP manifolds. She even invited viewers for calls to
give this boy his new pious Islamic name. I know you will say "koi
zabardasti to nahin karwaii gai thi... Allah ne use taufeeq di
siraat-ul-mustaqeem par chalne ki" agreed my friend.
Instantly my thoughts
came on Muslims in India and thought of a similar show on Indian TV where a
Muslim boy willingly converts to Hinduism. Even the idea of such a show sent
shivers in my spine and i sweat. The
resultant purification would have engulfed the entire country in a raging fire;
however, the minimal reaction this episode has received from my fellow Muslim
scholors, writers, thinkers and most importantly the crusaders of “just” who
who are up against any communal sufferings, be it banning of burqa’s in France,
or Burmese atrocities, or Assam riots just proves that we are also communal and
I include MYSELF also in this list.
We Facebook
columinst should be ashamed to read such a
hideous mockery of the two religions. My Muslim friends and most
importantly my Aligarian friends, why am I having a serious doubt within that we ourselves are not less communal than those we cry for? Why I don’t
go through any article or FB status from an Aligarian or a Muslim who have the courage to
stand up and say that Yes we are ashamed, Why only Maya from Pakistan in
particular? I am sure many of us believe that the ongoing drama about the
Akbarabadi Mosque is blown out of proportion, why can’t we protest and write against
a Muslim MLA in Delhi, who is trying to derail a Metro Project connecting Old
Delhi and wants Akbarabadi Masjid there.
Dear Mr MLA, stop it…. अल्लाह के वास्ते बंद करो ये ड्रामा …बहुत हुआ . We have ample
of Mosques in Delhi which gives a deserted look and are void of Namazi;s there.
मस्जिद तो बना ली शब् भर में , इमान की हरारत वालून ने
मनन अपना पुराना पापी है , सदियों में नमाज़ी बन न सका
मनन अपना पुराना पापी है , सदियों में नमाज़ी बन न सका
Dear Aligarian’s and Muslim friends, I may be wrong in my approach but this is
what I was undergoing for the last many days and I tried to vent it out through
this writeup.
Yours
Fahad
