Madrasa Educated
TV Mullahs Act Their Parts Of Playing The Role Of Defenders Of Islam And Indian
Muslims, But In Fact, Do Much Harm To The Community By Exacerbating Hindu-Muslim Relations,
Providing Rwanda-Style TV Anchors With Opportunities To Paint All Muslims As
Anti-National And Islam As A Religion Of Hatred And Aggression
Main
Points:
1. Providing
scholarly Islamic education to Madrasa Students is going to waste.
2. Madrasa
educated men’s irreligious and unethical behaviour has become a new normal.
3. Students of
religious institutions are supposed to spread the humane and spiritual messages
of the religion they belong to.
4. India has
brought up scholars and Sufis of repute of various religions.
5. Students of
all the religious institutions are supposed to spread the humane and spiritual
messages of the religion they belong to.

The Holy
Quran, the Holy Bible, the Holy Ramayana, the Gita as well as all other
religious books and scriptures, have failed to awaken spiritual essence and
humane ethics in the twenty-first-century human being. People all over the
world are customarily taking the oath of allegiance, honesty, brotherhood and
inclusivity before taking on constitutional posts and wherever is it needed to
break it at the first instance.
Students of
religious institutions are supposed to spread the humane and spiritual messages
of the religion they belong to. Allegiance with the morality of self and the
society of such students is understood as they are supposed to be the
flag-bearers of the concerned religion. Society takes pain to support their
educational needs by charity, Zakat and Fitrah taking it as a religious act and
Sawab e Jariah (continuous reward) in here and hereafter instead of providing
infrastructural opportunities to the kids for skill training that could support
them and their families with food and clothes. Looking at the madrasa educated
people’s behaviour it looks that the madrasas with religious educations should
be run only up to teaching the Holy Quran so that they could learn the basics
of the religion. Providing scholarly education is going to waste.
Madrasa
educated men’s irreligious and unethical behaviour has become a new normal.
These scholars of the madrasa are seen selling their Imaan for a pittance on
news channels. They are paid Rupees 2000 to Rupees 5000 per debate for helping
the Islamophobic channels spreading hate against the Indian Muslims in general
and Islam in particular.

Muslim
TV Warriors in India
In India
people with long beards, Islamic caps, and white and green turbans are a
regular feature on the Indian news channels, which are best known for making
journalism a farce and journalists an item of a drama sequence. For a long time
now, it is normal to see an anchor, two or three debaters from different
political parties, one supposed to be neutral and one Muslim taking part in
prime time TV debates on irrelevant topics. The topics are loathed with the
possibility of being turned into a religious debate perfect for hate-mongering.
These debates are worse than the third-grade drama serials where there is one
anchor (Sutradhar in dramatic parlance) to encourage all the debaters to abuse
Islam and Muslims roaring on the Maulvi debater to accept all the crimes that
Indian Muslims never did. Maulvi debaters also present themselves as if they
are defending the perpetrator of the crime. Many such debates were held on Love
Jihad, Triple Talaq, Cow slaughtering, Pulwama, Surgical Strike and UPSC Jihad.
Various TV news channels became a part of hate-mongering daily during the first
phase of the pandemic Covid-19 when the Tablighis and Nezamuddin Markaz of the
Tabligh were on target.

These
innocuous-looking creatures (Indian Muslim TV Warriors) are seen in various
government-sponsored programs on the platforms with well-known anti-Muslim
political leaders. On such political
platforms, they never lose an opportunity to be photographed with them.

It is not
that they do not know they are speaking against the spirit of what they have
been taught in Madrasas or what they are teaching as a Maulvi to their
students. But they do not do so because they are not paid to debate and keep
their points from the Islamic perspective but to deliberately debate in a way
that shows Muslims in a bad light. For such people Allah the All-Knower says in
the Holy Qur’an that they are the worst hypocrites and their punishment
hereafter has to be very painful.
India has
been and still is an abode of highly respected Quran exegesis, Islamic scholars
of Prophetic traditions, Sharia laws and rules of Deen. These scholars need to
come forward and teach such people to beware of Allah’s punishment for those
who abuse Islam and its divine teachings.

Quranic
Verses Demeaning Those Who Speak Without Knowledge
Created humanity, ˹and˺ taught them speech. - (Al-Rehman: 2-3)
And to be firm and patient, in pain (or
suffering) and adversity, And throughout all periods of panic. Such are the
people of truth, the God-fearing. - (Al-Baqarah: 177)
O you who have believed, if there comes to you
a disobedient one with information, investigate, lest you harm a people out of
ignorance and become, over what you have done, regretful. - (Al-Hujurat: 6)
“And pursue not that of which thou hast no
knowledge, for every act of hearing, or of seeing or of (feeling in) the heart
will be enquired into” - (Al-Isra`: 36)
Lo! Those who love that slander should be
spread concerning those who believe, theirs will be a painful punishment in the
world and the Hereafter. Allah knoweth. Ye know not. - (al-Nur: 19)
Who avoid vain talk; - (Al-Mu’minun: 3)
The
Prophetic Traditions on People Who Support Wrong Statements
The Prophet
Pbuh said; ....and I warn you against giving the wrong statement and fake
witness, I warn you against giving the wrong statement and fake witness, I warn
you against giving the wrong statement and fake witness”.
The Prophet
Pbuh warns; “Whoever bears a witness against a Muslim of which he does not
deserve, let him prepare for himself a place in the Hellfire”
Prophet
Pbuh says; “This evil is enough for a man that he degrades his Muslim brother”
Prophet
Pbuh is reported to have said, “The goodness of Islam of a believer is to leave
which does not concern him”
Following
is what Nasim Akhtar, ex-professor King Abdul Aziz University, Jeddah
has to say about the Muslim TV warriors:
‘By
participating in air-conditioned studio discussion, they (Muslim TV warriors)
wittingly or unwittingly help in promoting the agenda of RSS and BJP. How and
why? As the TV channels always call half-baked Maulvis who don’t have a glib
tongue and good knowledge of the subject. They don’t go prepared. Perhaps they
don’t even ask about the topic of the debate to prepare themselves accordingly.
Several times it has surfaced that they were invited for something else and
when you go there you find the topic changed, said Nasim Akhtar, ex-professor
King Abdul Aziz University, Jeddah. (Siasat: 1st June 2019)
And
Allah Knows the Best.
