Kashmiris and Islam
I am a Kashmiri Muslim; born in Srinagar in early 74’s.Whatever I am going to write now is true word by word. I grew in the vicinity of Khankahi Mohalla, presently down town or old city .Those days we were living par with Hindus, and my schooling also was from a school namely Hindu high school. The influence of Hindu dominated Indian media was so great that all the Muslim children used to stick to their T.V sets to watch serials like Ramayan, Mahabaharat ,And used to play it then on the streets chanting slogans like Jai shiri Raam,Ayushmaan bhava.tatha asthu etc..I am now in my 34’s but up to today I remember the Ramayan,Mahabarat,and almost every Hindu god and myth around them. But unfortunately until recently I was not knowing anything about my religion.I didn’t knew the history of my religion, The life of prophet(A.S),The life of the companions(R.A)of the prophet(A.S), The battles they fought in the name of god. The first fitna, the second fitna etc. etc.
Unfortunately 95% percent of Kashmiris do not know their religion as they should have. Because the Hindu dominated media and other political factors along with the active role of Iblis, they remain Ignorant. If it would have been not so why Umar Farooq told cable operators to stop showing obscene programmes. Some people will think what I am writing is nonsense, but before coming to any conclusion read the whole narration.
Let’s start from the greeting. Majority of Kashmiris don’t know how to greet in the Islamic way. Even some avoid to greet or being greeted. They show arrogance in their
Greetings .When some one greets the other He should say Asalamualikum, and the other should reply Walikumasalam.but instead of answering by the latter words they answer Asalamualikum.
Allah says in Sura no 4, An Nisa. Ayat no-86
“WHEN YOU ARE GREETED WITH A GREETING, GREET IN RETURN WITH WHAT IS BETTER THAN IT, OR (AT LEAST) RETURN IT EQUALLY.CERTAINLY ALLAH IS EVER A CAREFUL ACCOUNT TAKER OF ALL THINGS”
From the aforementioned verse it becomes clear that even for greeting properly Allah rewards us. So how unfortunate are those who due to ignorance get deprived of an effortless reward.
Allah says :-
Oh! You who believe! Obey Allah and obey the messenger
(A.S) And those of you (Muslims) in authority, (And) If you
Differ in anything among yourselves, Refer it to Allah and
His messenger (P.B.U.H), If you believe in Allah and the
Last day (Qayamat & Resurrection).That is better & most
Suitable for final determination. Sura an Nisa.Verse-59
Rasool(A.S) and the companions(Ra.A) used to greet as told , but Kashmiris are disobeying Allah and Rasool(A.S)even in this elementary thing not to talk about other disobediences. What do we expect that Allah will listen to our prayers (dua) when we disobey him .Never. That’s why we are being humiliated by Christians, Jews, and Hindus. A poet says.
WOH MOZAZ THEI ZAMANE MEIN MUSLMAN HO KAR
HAM KHAR HUE TARIKE QURAN HO KAR
