Re: Bollywood star branded Muslim ‘non-believer’ after Hindu festival
White can’t be black and black can’t be white…A Mushrik can’t be a Muslim and a Muslim cannot be a Mushrik…
By celebrating, recognizing or honouring multiple gods no matter how sweet, nice, adorable, tolerant, open minded, moderate e.t.c. you wish to display yourself as by doing such is shirk…It lands you outside of Islam…
As a Muslim, there are two entities you can try to please…You can try to please the creations or you can try to please the Creator…And out of these two, who does a Muslim make happy when it comes between these two? The Creator of course…
The Holy Prophet :saw: and his Sahaba
made pleasing Allah :swt: the foremost act of their lives…And they were hated for it…People hurt them, tried to hurt them, cursed them and tried to kill them…But nothing swayed them from acknowledging any god besides Allah :swt:…And that is a Muslim…
Once when the Muslims were under great oppression, the Kuffar of Makkah offered a solution…They told the Holy Prophet :saw: that we will let you use the Kaaba for your religious rites and we’ll join you as well if only you’ll partake in our religious rites…
Although the Muslims faced denial of use of the Kaaba and further oppression because they were so few in numbers, the Holy Prophet :saw: refused…Even as they faced annihilation…
But how can today’s mods refuse a PR opp? Even at the risk of becoming a Mushrik…
