Understanding Islam

Hi 

I know this is going to be one of the most sensitive issue that I have ever touched in my blog. But even than I am going to ask some of my personal doubts. Anyone reading this blog please understand that I have no personal grudge what so ever. I am just a normal guy trying to understand the feeling of people. Please dont think I am going to relate Islam with terrorism too. I know Terrorist does not have any religion. I dont want to hurt anyone sentiments. I just want to understand a faith better. Thats all. Please help me in achiving that.

We all know lately Islam and Muslim has been related to terrorism. Which I think totally ill-logical and wrong.

I have some questions about Islam that I would like to make it clear. Please understand that I am not against Islam. For me Islam is jut another religion like Hinduism that everyone follow. I just want to understand it better. If anyone have answer to these set of Questions please answer them and help me understand Islam better.

1. Lately I have been commenting on one blog site. It was talking something about Salman Bowing down to a Ganesh Ji’s Ideol. So My first question will begin with that.

What does Islam think of other religions ?

2. Can we bow down to give respect to other religion symbols. (I am asking this. Cause I bow down to every Temple, Mosque,Church or Gurdwara. Though I follow only Sikhism. I think every place is holy. And I must respect it. I have gone to Many temples. Our Family gives Chadar(Cloth) to the Darga everytime. I have been in Christmas Choire. Though I follow only Sikhism. I try to be part of all. I dont think Sikhism think this is wrong. All I see is God Everywhere. Fatwa was issued on Salman because he bowed down To Lord Ganesh statue. )

3. I have heard Muslims are not allowed to sing ”Wande Ma Dharam”  Song because it seems praising Hindu God. Is this ture ? I am not sure if what I am saying is right. But just as a doubt and an Indian want to know . Are their some Muslim who think singing National Anthem is anti-Islam ? I know some who would not sing.

4. What would you Identify yourself as ? An Indian First, then a Muslim or A Muslim First then an Indian. I am asking so cause I am a strict Follower of Bhargat Singh. Who gave up his religion for his Country. And the same Blood runs in my veins. I would give up anything for my Country. My Family. My Religion. anything. What is Common Indian Muslim Believe.(Please understand that I am not questioning our faith towards your country. I am just asking the priority  thats all.)

5. What is Jihad Actually. What I read and Learnt is Jitad is Fight against one self. Fight Against what ever wrong we do. And to pureify ourselves. Please explain me what Jihad is in Islam.

6. Lastly I would like to know is :”Who is Kafir ?” What does Islam say about Kafirs? Anyone who doesnot believe in Islam is Kafir ? Does it say if we kill a Kafir we get heaven ? 

7. Also heard that one who kills or dies in Jihad gets Heaven and something about 72 Virgins. I dont think this is true. But just asking cause I see this a lot in western Videoes and Media.

8. I have seen a movie called “In the Name of God” or “Khuda Ke Liye” Its a Pakistani Movie. It tells about Music and entertainment in Islam. Is Music, Acting and Drama wrong according to Islam ? What do you think about this? I dont think Islam says that Music is Anti- Islam.(We have some of the best Sufi singers here in India and in Pakistan.)

9. I know about terrorism. Sikhs were related to it in 90s and hunted down in every town in India. Why is that there is no terrorism or terrorist in Punjab now? Why people keep becoming Terrorist in name of 1991 Babir Masid Demolision or Bombay Roits or Gujrat Roits ? Why is that Terrorism was wiped out of Punjab and It still exist in Kashmir? I dont know why ?

Please answer my these questions. I dont want to offend anyone. Once again. I just want to understand the Faith Better. Please help me in this.

Terrorism Inc

Hi

Have you ever thought Terrorism as a company. I mean proper cooperate house? A profit making organisation ? I ask myself why not! In this modern time I am sure they too have State of Art facilities and trainings. It can be.

Let me tell you how they would be probably working.

1. Get money from rich Businessmen through force or they give, Through religious sentimental, Probably get from Religious Homes, Probably some saints that support their cause.

2. Now they got the capital they need. Now what do they want? Resources! So they go hiring. They wait for opportunity. Or make an Opportunity.

 - Wait for Opportunity – Like some Earth Quake or Some unseen disaster say someone die, you are Unemployed.

- Make an Opportunity – Like you pay one guy with Tilak on his head kill a Muslim Scholar Or ask Muslim to kill a Sikh. What ever it might be.

End result is they get people. Some who need money and something to do with their life. And some who have money and want to do something for others life. (Most people who do these kind of thing… think they are doing greater good for others.)

3. Now you need work. For that you need to be famous. You advertise. Same goes here in Terrorism Inc. You Advertise by showing some random boom blast here and there. You become a public figure. People know how to approch you. 

4. Next time some filthy Politician or any Government organisation tell you. You will carry out a boom blast or a series of Boom blast in some opposition run State. They will blame the ruling party next year they will come to power. In between this. Police or Army will catch innocent people. Spoil there life. They will investigate for 6 months then no one traces the Case. The Arrested Innocent people are left after 6 months.

5. By Catching Innocent people Terrorism Inc get a new play ground to catch. They next time hire these people and carry out another blast.

This shit above might or might not be correct. This is just my thought. Sometime we have discussion about this at office.

There is nothing as organised as this can be. I heard now we can Hire A Sucide boomer ! You know that. My friends were talking about it. I think its highly possible. 

We were once joking about this. And came up with what if they had Projects like we do.

Like projects in hand.

 - Delhi Blast release date (say some future date).

 - Jaipur Blast release date (say some future date).

Projects on pipe line 

 - Mumbai Blast

 - Shrinagar Blast

 - Jan 26th Blast anywhere

Project successfully executed.

 - Delhi Blast

 - Assam Blast

 - Gujarat Blast

Projects unsuccessfull

 - Surat Blast

 

Just think about this. Who knows they are very organised than we think they are. I dont know if the above what I wrote is right or wrong. But there are chances it might be right or it might not. 

Governments must try to crack this puzzell and Stop these Companies from operating. And I think it high time that even common public know this. No matter where and who you are . You are answerable to God! You are surely not going to get heaven by killing someone. 

And Dont Sell your Country for Money or For Religion or Regional or Political purpose.

Be A Human Being and Do the right thing.

Jai Hind

Message of Love and Duty

Hi,

This topic I had written long time back when I was drunk. I have just made some changes to keep it presentable to you all. . Hope you enjoy this one.

I am  very religious guy! Though I don’t follow all set of rules but I try to follow most of them. I have heard lot of stories called sakhis in Punjabi. One in particular had a great impression on my heart and my life. And if you see this is also an integral part of Sikhism as a faith. Its called Duty and Love.  

I would relay like all of you to listen this…

Once a holy saint was walking by a river. He saw a scorpion drown in water. He tried saving the scorpion. When he brought his right hand to save the scorpion. It bit him in his write hand. Then he brought his left hand to save him. It bit him again. Then he brought both of his hands to save the scorpion. This time one of his followers said. Holy One why do you try to save a creature which keeps biting you in return. The holy one replies. The Creature does not have brain. Even then he does not forget to protect itself. Even though I am trying to save it. It is his instinct to bite. So it attacks me. My duty is to say the innocent creature. How can I being a knowledgeable one among two. Forget to save him. 

There is two things that you can draw from this.

1. Do your Duty No matter what may come.

Do not forget your duty. Where every you may be what every position you might be in. If there is someone who need your help. Give him. Don’t think of yourself you will get help when you want. Help others. There are times when You got to choose between your duty and some other work. Always choose Duty. Duty is everything. 

2. Always try to Help and give Love to others no matter what you get in return.

I have seen many people who keep some sort of grudge or hatred towards someone. Never hate anyone. Hate is one of the cheapest thing that you can do to your self. And It will eventually make you do wrong. Instead of hate always choose to forgive someone.

Hate is like a virus that would spread in your heart and corrupt it. If you Hate someone today. It would not take long for that hate spread to your loved once!

You hate someone Today. You will hate everyone tomorrow.

And If You have to choose between the two. Love or Duty. I would always go for Duty.
