How Do you relate to

Re: How Do you relate to

i hate when i see Bollywood movies when they show qabr/mazaar parastii. they depict as if this kinda Islam is the mainstream Islam and everyone goes and believes in this kinda rituals. i think it's so because the masses including the Hindus and followers of other religions believe in qabr parastii. Khair!

Re: How Do you relate to

Sikhs weren't part of looter, Sikhs was not part of population of delhi then. when British were escaping from delhi after sepoys of meerut reached delhi and started massacre of Kafirs, surprisingly Kafir meant christians, not hindus or any other indian class of people:) Escaping British were mostly were looted by Gujars and Jats. Gujar even looted underwears of British but left pants as they used to wear Dhotis:D. When british started capturing with the help of Gurkhas and Sikhs, escaping delhites were again looted by these two tribes, though Gujjars being populated on three sides of Delhi and original resident of delhi looted the maximum:D rivaled by Jats whose attempts were mostly amateurish but later improved, even my Naani's father was famous dacoit of Gurdaspur but after partition all of Muslim members left for Sialkot:D, I hope they would have exercised their talent there too:D

Watch out for Punjabi movie 'Maula Jatt' to know how they progressed in Pakistan :D

Re: How Do you relate to

But KKF that is popular version of Islam that people from other religions observe at many Dargahs of Indo-Pak. Even in Pakistani movies, they used to show characters visiting Dargah like Data darbar and Qalandar Shahbaz, when they are in trouble.

Bhai, If AR Rahman in Jodha Akbar shows Khwaja mere Khwaja, then nothing can be done about it by non muslims:)

I know my tribe, 99 percent of them come with brain and go back to god without using it much, these brains are used only for primary purpose, secondary purposes like thinking,analyzing,observing etc are beyond majority:D

Re: How Do you relate to

I think Fiza was also directed by Khalid Mohammed who showed us 'Piya Haji Ali'. One can't deny that such practices do exist in Muslim society.

Re: How Do you relate to

Which part are you talking about?
Bollywood shows hindu women in mangalsutra, which is common more in deccan and south, north indian women don't wear mangalsutra:)

Re: How Do you relate to

I'm referring to KKF's point of showing dargah's and worship of graves shown in movies. In Fiza Jaya Bachan goes to Haji Ali, a saint near sea in Mumbai. Again I think, the composer and vocalist was A R Rehman. BTW A R Rehman is a converted Muslim.

Re: How Do you relate to

I know Haji Ali Dargah too and I have seen people doing Sajda in front of grave but they ask mannat, they don't go for namaz there:)
AR Rahman is reverted is well known:)

Re: How Do you relate to

Good point. But thats where the sects started. One call it respect, other call it worship.

Re: How Do you relate to


that's what i'm saying...they think this is what Islam is all about...far from it! it's just the opposite of what Islam wants you to practice.

Re: How Do you relate to

not only muslims of indo-pak visit but this practice can be seen in other countries too remember wahabis destroyed all shrines situated in Jannat ul baqi.......

Re: How Do you relate to

But KKF, do we expect bollywood to preach true version of Islam. Cinema and Tableeghi Jama'at are two different things IMO.

Re: How Do you relate to


i am NOT saying why do they do that...they do it for a commercial reason. they think it's a popular thing to show which is totally against Islamic beliefs. an outsider or a child or people with less deenii knowledge think that this is Islam...they do a disservice to Islam N Muslims...to, kia aap chaahte haiN k aisaa hii sab chalte rahnaa chaahiye?

Re: How Do you relate to

Right they will follow whats brings commercial success and its our responsibility to tell the younger ones to watch Madni Channel inspite of Bollywood flicks when it comes to learning about religious matters.

Personally, I even don't suggest to anyone to believe on what was portrayed in Pakistani movie 'Khuda ke liye'.

^^ But laden of tere bin laden was hillarious:D

Re: How Do you relate to


''Its not just about Islam, I think that no perosn should ever take his/her religious guidance from any commercial movie.

Re: How Do you relate to

I think Talibaan and worshipers of graves (in KKF words) are only two versions of Islam that has been portrayed in most of Bollywood movies.

Re: How Do you relate to

No we even have Generals of Pak army in sunny jatts movie and Sarfarosh type movies, then kareem Chacha of Sholey too,"Itna sannata kiyon hai bhai:D".

Re: How Do you relate to

and dont forget Akbar from Amar Akbar Anthony: A paan eating, see through shirt wearing, qawwaali singing aashiq
