Suicide Bomber vs Islam

The deadly attacks on the Sri Lankan Churches and hotels - whether it was carried out as retaliation against the New Zealand mosque attack or mere a mindless act of few terrorists- are highly condemned. Attacks on places of worship killing and injuring innocents are worst form of terrorism.

It's reported that the attacks were carried out by suicide bombers including two wealthy Sri Lankan “Muslims”. It's appalling and disgraceful because they acted in the name of religion.

Islam, as faith, never vindicates this type of heinous act because none has right to end one’s own life or to kill others. It's considered to be grievous sin. Even in worst scenario, a Muslim has to strongly rely on Allah’s tests and tribulations.

Besides, Islam teaches how to live but not how to die or kill his fellow being regardless of which religion he belongs to. It doesn't say that man should stay in solitude, stay away from family affairs, remain in forest and get disconnected from the main stream of society; instead, it teaches to enjoy life and give meaning to the good society within the framework of Islam.

So, how come a Muslim kills himself and others for the cause of his religion? Muslims are followers of such Islam, which says "if anyone kills another person, then he killed the entire human beings and if anyone saves another person, then he saved the whole mankind".

Who said one who exterminates himself and others in the name of Islam will get paradise? Is he declared to be martyred? Does he think that paradise (Jannah) is contracted without terms for his mindless and un-Islamic acts?... a lot of questions arise in this background.

Answers to all these are "NO". Not only "NO", but also a grave sin, which causes him to enter hellfire (Jahannamah) as Islam never teaches hate and violence for any reason. It's teaching is pristine and easy to understand if he is truthful to learn and study it.

Those behind the terror attacks in Sri Lanka last Sunday were fully misguided by the devious people and dogma that are against Islam and its Prophet (pbuh) and any Salafus (predecessors). ISIS, Al-Qaeda, Boko Haram or any such bloody organizations are simply playing with psychology of few Muslims in the name of religion. In fact, they are burning in the fire of their own lighter.

These brothers should have spent their good riches for the religious Dawah works, guidance and propagation, socio-religious welfare activities and spread the words of Quran and traditions of the Prophet (pbuh). But, they set a worst model for the community as well as society. Waging war against one's own country is not taken lightly in Islam; that's also serious sin (prohibited).

We have excellent models in our Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and his pious predecessors as to how to lead lives and how to tackle any worst case scenario without causing any casualty and ruckus. It's more need of the hour for Muslims to reach out to the world with the pristine Islamic messages of peace and tolerance.

Mosques in Ayodhya promoting peace and harmony ahead of Ram temple’s 'bhoomi pujan'

Ayodhya, Jul 27: With days to go for the August 5 "bhoomi pujan" ceremony of the Ram temple in Ayodhya, the mosques adjacent to the demolished Babri Masjid premises are spreading the message of a peaceful coexistence of Hindus and Muslims.

There are eight mosques and two mausoleums located close to the 70-acre Babri Masjid premises mandated by the Supreme Court for a temple of Sri Ram.

Azaan and namaaz are offered in the mosques and the annual "Urs" is held at the mausoleums without any objection from the local Hindus.

The eight mosques located near the upcoming Ram temple premises are Masjid Dorahikuan, Masjid Mali Mandir ke Bagal, Masjid Kaziyana Achchan ke Bagal, Masjid Imambara, Masjid Riyaz ke Bagal, Masjid Badar Paanjitola, Masjid Madaar Shah and Masjid Tehribazar Jogiyon ki.

The two mausoleums are Khanqaahe Muzaffariya and Imambara.

"It is the greatness of Ayodhya that the mosques surrounding the Ram temple are giving a strong message of communal harmony to the rest of the world," Haji Asad Ahmad, the corporator of the Ram Kot ward, said. The Ram temple area is situated in Ahmad's ward.

"Muslims take out the 'juloos' of Barawafaat that goes through the periphery of Ram Janmabhoomi. All religious functions and rituals of Muslims are respected by their fellow citizens," the corporator said.

Asked for a comment on the presence of mosques near the upcoming Ram temple premises, the chief priest of the temple, Acharya Satyendra Das, said, "We had a dispute only with the structure that was connected to the name of (Mughal emperor) Babur. We have never had any issue with the other mosques and mausoleums in Ayodhya. This is a town where Hindus and Muslims live in peace."

"Muslims offer namaaz, we perform our puja. The mosques around us will strengthen Ayodhya's communal harmony and peace will prevail," he added.

Both Hindus and Muslims have accepted the Supreme Court verdict over Ram Janmabhoomi, Das said, adding, "We have no dispute with each other."

Sayyad Akhlaq Ahmad Latifi, the "sajjada nasheen" and "pir" of the 500-year-old Khanqaahe Muzaffariya mausoleum, said Muslims in Ayodhya are performing all religious practices freely.

"We offer prayers five times a day in the mosque at Khanqaah and hold the yearly 'Urs'," he added.

"What a scene would it be -- a grand Ram temple surrounded by small mosques and mausoleums and everyone offering prayers according to their beliefs. That will be representative of the true culture of India," Mahant Yugal Kishore Sharan Shastri, the chief priest of the Sarayu Kunj temple adjacent to the Ram Janmabhoomi premises, said.

Reacting to the presence of mosques and mausoleums near the Ram Janmabhoomi premises, Triloki Nath Pandey, the decree holder of the land as the "first friend of Ram Lalla" as mandated by the Supreme Court, said, "We do not have any objection to either those mosques or any other mosques. We will not trigger a dispute regarding any structure, Ayodhya must live in peace and communal harmony."

Mahant Raju Das, the priest of the Hanumangarhi temple, said, "The presence of the mosques tells the story of Ayodhya's communal harmony. A Ram mandir will be built and there will be no objection to the mosques or religious practices of Muslims."
