Muslims Caste and Religion-Based Attitude of
Discrimination Continues
-----
The current
situation of the country and the nation requires that we put aside caste and
religious differences and live with unity and brotherhood, but perhaps Muslims
are not ready to come to their senses hence their caste and religion-based
attitude of discrimination continues.
A recent
case of religious prejudice has come to light in a village of District Varanasi
where the marriage of three sons was renewed (Nikah performed again) due to
their attending the funeral of their father who believed in Wahhabi (Ahl e
Hadees) ideology and the sons belonged to the Sunni (Barelvi) school of
thought.
According
to the details, this incident took place in the village Muhammadpur under Jinsa
police station located on Bhadohi road, about fifteen kilometres from Banaras
city where the Sunni (Barelvi) sect is in majority, and only a few families are
associated with the Wahhabi (Ahl e Hadees) sect.
The name of
the deceased was Muhibullah. A few years ago, something happened to him because
of which he was prevented from offering prayers in the Sunni mosque, so he
started offering prayers in the Ahl e-Hadees mosque and got famous as a Wahhabi
in the village. Other members of his family, including his sons, remained Sunni
(Barelvi). Muhibullah passed away recently.
The family
and other relatives refused to offer his funeral prayers and the Wahhabis of
the village were informed to perform his last rites (Namaz e Janaza and Tadfeen).
People of
the Wahhab (Ahl e Hadees) sect of the village performed the funeral prayers and
the burial rituals of the deceased.
Other
villagers did not join the funeral prayer, but Muhammad Aslam, Sikandar and
Jafar, the sons of the deceased Muhibullah, participated in the funeral prayer
of their father.
When this
was reported to the influential Sunnis Hafiz Muhammad Musa Ansari and Maulana
Laeeq Ahmad Ansari of the neighbourhood, they suggested his three sons perform
their Nikah again.
The above
incident has become a topic of discussion among the people in other nearby
villages.
People are
deploring this religiously biased attitude. People say that on the one hand,
where non-Muslims are making all sorts of incitements against Muslims and Islam
and are targeting Islamic rituals, teachers are being sent behind bars for only
mentioning the name of Allah in madrasas and schools on the other hand
religious biased Muslims are against Muslims themselves. This is a very
deplorable situation. This heinous
attitude of religious prejudice, which is preventing sons from participating in
their father's last rites, does not seem to end soon.
