Conspiracy against Islam


One of the unusual news that recently rocked the Muslim world was about aÊincident of a Jumma prayer. Recently in NY, USA, a Jumma prayer was lead by a female imam and in the same congregation another female participant performed the ajan. The organisers of the programme claimed taking a step to modernise the traditional Muslim religion. This is probably the first incident in 1400 years where the entire jamaat was led by a female imam. People who have little knowledge about Islam are probably jumping up and down in joy muttering that something great was done. One third of the participants of this jamaat were male. This is a true conspiracy to give Islam a bad name and change its tradition and value.ÊMuslims around the world should be careful about such incident and must stand together to stop such act against Islam. Islam came as a complete code of life through the revelation of the Holy Quran and any new addition is an innovation that leads to jahannam.
