An Evil Attempt to Spread Hatred In The Name of Jihad and the Quran :- Moulana Abdul Hameed Nomani

Moulana Abdul Hameed Nomani This time we had several titles for writing a column, but it looked more appropriate to write something on the relevant subject matter, taking into account the ongoing specific circumstances of the world and the country. In this regard, the two sides are being discussed along with their respective goals. Jihad is not the name of making a war against non-Muslims. Jihad does not mean it is necessary for every Muslim to wage it as a religious duty to turn any country into Darul Islam [the abode of Islam. In such a situation how can it be imagined to live with Muslims in peace? The solution of the problem is that Muslims completely separate themselves from their religious conceptions. The meaning of their being religious is that they cannot live with non-Muslims in peace; this propaganda is badly affecting the country so much that on the one hand severe hatred is rapidly increasing among non-Muslims against Muslim community, and on the other hand frustratio

We and Our Science and Technology in Modern age.:- Engineer Affan Nomani

It is an exciting age of science and technology in which we live. If these great achievement are used properly we can build a world free hunger, oppression disease and privation. But it is a big ' if '. Engineer Affan Nomani, Research Scholar and Columnist , addresses the students on  Science and technology in  modern age. Our consciences seem to be dulled by crimes and outrages. In the last war the scientific achievement were destroyed into manifestations of horror. It is the violence in our hearts that accounts for great wars. Man himself is the present crisis. He is the greatest danger. If we take along view of human evolution we will find that man has grown through tenderness, compassion and endurance and not through anger, greed and passion. Engineering Education should undergo significant changes. You must emphasize not merely quantity but quality. People will put up with any amount of frustration If we use well the resources available, material an

None can question patriotic spirit of Indian Muslims

Engineer Affan Nomani The Uttar Pradesh government recently directed all madrassas to hold celebrations on Independence Day and videograph the event. The patriotism of Indian Muslims is being questioned today . It is very unfortunate that Those who question Muslim's love for this country, they were not involved in quite India movement and freedom struggle.   I studied the series of  books  like :-  Hardly peter's   ' Partners in Freedom  and True Muslims: Thought of some Muslim scholars in British India , 1912-47'  ,     ' Composite Nationalism and Islam '  written by Moulana Hussain   Ahmed Madni in 1938 ,  ' The Prisoners of Malta ( Asira'n-E-Malta )'  written by  Moulana Syed Mohammed Mian ,  ' Moulana Hussain Ahmed Madni ' written by Barbara D. Metcalf , Indian national congress and the Indian Muslim written by Dr. Khawaja Iftekhar Ahmed.  These series of  books beautifully described over the role of Muslim scholars in the bat

Lynching to power :- Irfan Engineer

 Irfan Engineer Mashal Khan, a 23 year old journalism student was seized from his dorm room by a mob that stripped and beat him, then shot him dead on 13 April 2017 in Mardan in North West Pakistan. Khan was accused of offending Islam (Rasmussen and Baloch 2017). In the month of May 2017, a mob attacked a police station demanding that Prakash Kumar, a 34 year old Hindu, arrested under blasphemy laws of Pakistan, be handed over to the mob (AFP 2017). Just over a week later, a mob attacked a mentally ill man who claimed to be a prophet at his local mosque in north-western Chitral (Pakistan). He was rescued by police. The spate of incidents followed government of Pakistan’s drive against blasphemy. Unproven allegations of “insult to Islam” led to dozens of mob attacks or murders since 1990 in Pakistan. India is trying to catch up with Pakistan with spate of mob lynching after the BJP Govt. was elected to power in May 2014, different only with regards to minor details. Replace the all

Dalit’s struggle for social justice :- Ram Punyani

Ram Punyani This July (2017) a large procession of dalits was arrested while they were taking out the  Azadi Kooch  under the banner of Rashtriya dalit Adhikar Manch (National Forum for Dalit Rights). The march was to commemorate one year of Una flogging on the issue of Holy Cow. Since then young leader Jignesh Mevani with others has been trying to organize the oppressed people under Dalit Atyachar Ladhat Samiti (Committee to fight against atrocities against Dalits), with the slogan “Give us land-you keep Cow’s Tale”. They had first refused to dispose of dead cattle. Many a carcass was put in front of collector's offices. The demand emerged from the movement that they want land for their dignified survival. As such this movement comes as a big landmark of the depressed castes for their dignified survival. While the condition of dalits had been partly improving after independence, the betterment has been taking place at the snail’s pace. There are various obstacles to this p

देश में लगी नफरत की आग को बुझाइए :- अफ्फान नोमानी

Junaid , my son :- Harsh Mander

I did not know him when he lived. But in his death, in the way he died, I mourn him like a son. His dreams were unfamiliar to my agnostic world. He wanted to become a scholar and teacher of the Quran, and perhaps, one day, an imam. For this, from the age of six, he was sent to a madrasa, in neighbouring Nuh in Haryana. He was a sincere and bright student, who had memorised the Quran, all 80,000 words of the holy text. He was to be declared a hafiz in recognition of this achievement. Hafiz in Arabic means both one who remembers, but also one who is a custodian of the sacred words of the Quran. He would return to his home only once a year, during the month of Ramzan. This year he proudly recited the entire Quran from memory to pious gatherings of his own village over 20 days. He had completed this recitation of the Quran one day before he died. In appreciation, the villagers had made small offerings of money to him. His father added his contribution, and with a total sum of Rs 1,500
