Re: WAZIFA
I have not read any of Sarfraz shah book, so cannot comment on what he wrote. But I can say that ‘IF’ he has written that Wazifa in Islam came from Hinduism, and there is no misinterpretation of what he wrote, than he is wrong (or confuse).
Though I believe there is concept of Wazifa, Zikr, Tasbeeh in hinduism too (at least there is possibility of that) … obviously, with different names. Regardless, that does not mean what we have in Islam came from Hinduism.
Here I would like to mention something that all Muslims should know. That is, Allah has sent Prophets (AS) in every community all across the world, and all Prophets have brought similar messages and practices from Allah. So, to find similar messages and practices in different part of world amongst different religions, do not necessarily mean one religion has borrowed the message and practice from other, but it confirms that there is ‘ONE GOD’ who sent messengers in every community (as mentioned in Quran) and all got those messages and practices from same source, that is Allah.
