Real Muslim

From 1857 till the Silken Letters Movement our Elders had their feet firmly on ground.

After independence their posture in India has changed.
For example in an interview Maulana Abul Qasim Nomani Sahab (DB) said that now our objective is merely to impart religious knowledge to aspiring students of religion.

This is a clear separation from other departments of life that nevertheless are essential.
For example re-acquiring the social, cultural, economic and political space of Muslims that either remains unclaimed or has been encroached upon.

This argument should not be used against Elders or Maslak.
They are doing their job. Others should chip in to do their bit.

Muslims with inclination towards social work should discharge those duties that are necessary for maintaining social health of Muslim society in India (and of course abroad). They should also take requisite steps to regain the social space that Muslims have lost because of their inaction.

Same goes about other departments of life.

To keep finger pointing at Elders, Sufis, Mualvis and the like is completely unproductive, in fact it is harmful.

Vadodara:

Arvind Kejriwal-led AAP may gain control of a taluka (tehsil) panchayat in Gujarat, the home state of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, as eight rebel BJP members on Monday said they wanted to join it.
Savli taluka panchayat, with a total of 17 members, was controlled by BJP, which had 10 members. Congress has six members and one member is an independent.
However, eight members of the ruling party on Monday tendered resignations, formed a group and seized power with the support of independent member.
The eight rebel BJP members said they were willing to join AAP, which recently came to power in Delhi by winning an unprecedented 67 out of 70 seats.
"We are in touch with AAP party leadership about our intentions of joining the party in the presence of Arvind Kejriwal at a time suitable to him. We want to organise a big rally of our supporters who will cross over from BJP to AAP in his presence," said Jayesh Bakrola, the leader of the group.
If the cross-over takes place, the group will gift AAP power in a local body in Gujarat for the first time, without fighting an election.
Savli taluka panchayat comes under Vadodara parliamentary constituency from where Prime Minister Narendra Modi had contested Lok Sabha election. (He later resigned and retained Varanasi seat.)
State BJP president RC Faldu had served suspension notice to these eight members for breaching the party whip in taluka panchayat president and vice-president elections.
"We sent our reply in the form of resignations today," Bakrol said. Other members of the group are Dhirendrasinh Rathod, Vilasben Rana, Bhavnaben Solanki, Kailashben Solanki, Sureshbhai Vasava, Thakorbhai Parmar and Yashwantbhai Bhaliya.

Three Points from USA

Three significant things in relation to Islam and Muslims have come out of USA very recently.

(1) Designating Taliban as militants as opposed to terrorists.

(2) President Barak H. Obama's observation that there is lots of intolerence in India and Gandhi would be shocked to see it.

(3) His statement that US is not at war with Islam.

In my view we Muslims should adopt a positive attitude towards all the three points and make the best use of this changing American attitude. It is also clear that attitudes towards Zionist agenda is also changing in US and more so in Europe. In this new environment we Muslims can take initiatives to regain our social, cultural, political, economic and business space.

Here is his YouTube channel.

I like Nouman Ali Khan asserting here that Ulama talk to those who already know the things and not to those who need that knowledge.

السلام عليكم

The Strange part is some dear brothers suggesting me to let it go.. that my Ikhlaas would be Tested..

See You get robbed on the street by a bearded Thug.. would u stop yourself complaining to the Police just because the thief had a beard..? or that the thief gives the stolen money to the poor..

These Islamicwaves.com people shamelessly stole the vids i personally took.. labeled it as their own Exclusive content and posted on Youtube..

I sent the link of muftisays on Academic Theft from Muftisays but still no response..

when i complained to Youtube they went on Dailymotion..vimeo etc and after shouting Thief.. have now given a small almost transparent link to my channel..

And these thieves think they are spreading deen by such gross dishonesty.. Allah give them Hidaya..

Who knows what they might do in real life.. like those who dupe innocent Muslims in the name of Religion..

Fyodor Dostoevsky

I answered a question from an atheist attributed to Fyodor Dostoevsky.

Then after reading the original provocation I am wondering how much should we respond to the social, cultural, psychological and moral confusions created by Europe, Russia and US.

Each of them have produced a host of intellectual in all of the walks of life and every one of those scholars is a giant in his or her own right.

And, to boot, Muslims are either obsequous to western scholars or creating confusions of their own.

May be we can give Russia a break for some time after having given them a threshing in Afghanistan.
Europe is fighting its economic ailments and US is realizing that it is not the last word in the scheme of things.

But I do believe that an intellectual disposition matters and we Muslims must have one.

uncle maripat I really look foreword to your posts. Mashallah. With regards to your comments I am glad you mentioned the Russians but let us also not forget the Chinese. China and Russia are amongst those places in the world where the Muslim population has drastically decreased as a direct result of the oppressive laws and policies of the rulers of those areas. I can also safely state that China and Russia's current stance with their muslim minorities is far worse than American and European policy towards Muslim minorities. The sad thing is that in Russia and China Muslims have been part of the landscape for far longer and their numbers are greater. ALLAH make things easy. At the same time the criminal ramzan kadyrov has somehow managed to work within the Russian system and is currently the 2nd most powerful person in Russia. No matter how much I hate him there seems to be some good coming out of his rule (the last point is debatable for sure). ALLAH helps his religion through a tyrant and enemies at times. What we really need to work on is linking together. I am very happy that maulana limbada is coming to India. We need more such exchanges and links.

I agree that Chinese and Russian stances on Muslims and Islam are the worst. In Israel we at least know that our brothers and sisters and our kids are being slaughtered in China even that news is a luxury.
We know that at least at practical level US is an inheritor of the crusades but in case of Russia the amount of information coming out is much less.

Agree again.
We got to give more attention to these two countries.

I understand the way he escorted the bowl of beloved rasoolallah (SAW). I suppose much good can come out of a Muslim so much in love with his Prophet (PBUH). May be we have not tickled his right nerves.

But the nagging point is that from the times of his father that family is negatively disposed towards Muslims.

[quote]I am very happy that maulana limbada is coming to India. We need more such exchanges and links.

Can you provid his profile for us. I mean his push in his thoughts and philosophy. I have not watched sufficient number of his videos to make up my mind.

Let me spell out my own agenda.
I am completely concerned with the worldly matters of Ummah.
I am not at all against Muslims who want to spend their whole lives doing Allah, Allah.
My Allah, Allah is to be by action, of course completely within the parameters of Islam.

I am convinced that I am not asking for too much.
When I talk of these things my Madarsa and Tabligh type of friends get scared.
They try to think as if I am indulging in nefarious things.
My contention is that their Islam is not complete.
Shamli 1857 is missing from their Islam and so is Silken Letters Movement, Malta and Andman.

In more specific words I am worried about the encroachment of external forces on social cultural, political and economic space of Muslims.

Does Maulwi Limbada dwell upon these?

Muslim Population of India

For long it has been my impression that India is most populous as far as Muslims are concerned.
The conventioned wisdom is that India is third after Indonesia and Pakistan.
That has to be simply wrong.

The reason is that India for decades have felt that Muslim population is a sensitive issue.

Anyway the latest data was available more than a year ago in January 2014. In view of the coming elections the then Manmohan Singh government did not divulge the information.

The results should be offiacllly out soon but the media already has the figures.

India's population was 121.05 crores in 2011.

Muslims were 14.2 percent of it that is 17.18 crores.

That will make about twenty crores today.
And that will be official.

Muslims increased 24 percent from 2001 to 2011.
It was more than the national average of 18 percent.
It was less than the 29 percentincrease in earlier ten years period.

Indonesia and Pakistan figures are also around the same.
But official figures in India are mostly suspected by people.
And that makes it very likely that Indian Muslims are largest in a country.

Disconnection With Muslims

There is a very serious disconnection between the Islam as explained by our Elders and the life lived by us Muslims.
I am talking about pious families.

My wife remarked about the daughter-in-law of an Elder that she is just like a modern fashionable woman.

Son of another Elder would have a pair of paint and shirt in his bag whenever he left home for any longish journey and would quickly change into those Modern and Acceptable clothes at the first opportunity.

Son of another Elder got his beard shaved the moment he became independent of his father.

We are usually told that we should not look at the family members of Elders but the Elders themselves for guidance.
This has many implications.
One of the implications is that we ourselves will get cut-off from our immediate surroundings.

Son of another Elder told me that their people will perform the traditional rituals in marriage etc and his father would come to know.

When you insist upon practicing Islam you are taken as impractical, naive and strange.

This is a stark reality and has to be taken into consideration.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s younger brother Prahlad, whose organisation is fighting for a better deal to PDS shop owners, has warned of electoral reverses for BJP in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar if the Centre continues to turn a blind eye to their demands.

Prahlad Modi, vice president of All India Fair Price Dealers’ Federation, participated in an agitation against the Centre at Azad maidan where he reminded the government of the role of his organisation in mobilising votes for BJP in Lok Sabha elections in UP and said neglecting the dealers will be detrimental to the saffron party.

“BJP could sweep UP in the Lok Sabha elections with 73 of the 80 seats due to support of the 75,000 fair price shop owners. Ahead of the Delhi polls, the government started neglecting this segment and the results are for everybody to see.

“If this continues, the 70,000 PDS owners from Bihar will not cooperate which can have adverse impact on BJP’s fortunes. The same will happen in UP,” he told a gathering of the dealers yesterday.

“Hum ration bechte hain aur logon ki aatmiyata kharidte hain (we sell ration and buy people’s intimacy),” he told PTI, adding that the neighbourhood ration shop owner is like a “family member” who influences voting in a big way.

Pralhad Modi said the fair price dealers are directly connected with women and it takes “only two minutes” to influence their minds. “Hum sarkar badal sakte hain” (we can change the government),” he asserted.

The PDS dealers have been asking for an increase in commissions and also an assurance to serve at least 1,000 card holders per dealer.

Asked if he had spoken to the Prime Minister on the issue or would lobby him to have the demands met, Prahlad replied in the negative.

He said the Federation representatives had met the Minister for Food and Civil Supplies and the concerned
secretary in the past. “Prime Minister Narendra Modi should look into the concerns of the PDS dealers,” he said.
“Inflation is so high, the cost of living is going up and we need to be compensated fairly,” Prahlad, who owns a PDS shop in Ahmedabad and has been associated with the business since 1980, said.
The fair price shop dealers are staging demonstrations across state capitals and will hold one at New Delhi’s Jantar Mantar and a rally at Ramlila Maidan on March 17 before the ongoing Budget session ends.
