Dr.Mazhar Naqvi
In a welcome move, All
India Sunni Ulema Council has taken strong exception to Islamic new year
greetings.In a hard-hitting statement, cou8ncil’s general secretary, Haji
Mohammad Salis described the greeting as
innovation and much against the spirit and history of Islam.He also dubbed the
innovation as a handiwork of a gang having links with seperatists organizations.
Haji said that there is no record peertaining to new year greetings by the Holy
Prophet and his companions. Hence, how could Muslims now start the practice.
The General Secretary
said “ Muslims have refrained from such greetings for over 1300 years following the martyrdom of Prophet’s grandson Hazrat
Imam Hussain on 10th of Muharram while waging Jihad-e-Azeem against
the tyranny,injusticve and barbarism.” He said “it is indeed unfortunate that
the modern followers of Yazid whose forces had martyred imam with three days
hunger and thirst are trying to reintroduce a fake Islam”.
Haji even accused the
foubnders of the new custom of greeting after the sighting of Muharram moon of
doing so to fleece money in the name of organizing various programs on the live
of prophet’s companions during the first ten days of Muharram.
He called upon people
to boycott such peopkle who were out to bring disgrace to islam in the manner
of Yazid who was a womanizer,drunkard and cruel despite being the caliph of
Muslims.Salis said “ the best way tio pay tribute to martyrs of karbala during
muharram-2017 is to expose the supporters of yazid and his ideology in the 21st
century.(Based on inputs given to the blogger by haji Salis himself on phone.).
