Intolerant


A man took the initiative to stop the Kirtan (religious song) festival of the Hindus in Keshobpur. This news made me wonder what could have been the reason for taking such a drastic step beside what he has cited. Does he fear that we the Muslim community will be enticed by the Kirton and convert ourselves to Hinduism? Well, I can assure him of my " belief". And does he realise that he has acted against the directive of the Almighty Allah who has forbidden any malicious act against any religious sect? We as believers should have more faith in Allah's strength - and also should not judge anything from our narrow perspective.

The entire earth's population beside the universe is supposed to be Allah's creation and there is a distinct directive to love all his creation.
