Unfortunately when it comes to marriage Islam goes out of the window. It is high time that South-Asian Muslims stop practising other Hindu customs such as Mehndis, Rukshatis, Dhal Qurkis, Girls receptions etc when a brother or sister gets married as these are also not Islamic and are HINDU....funny because I'm sure most South Asian muslims would say 'Astaghfirullah' if a member of their family decided to put up a Christmas tree in December......funny that. Think about it.
Remember... Nothing in this dunya is worth Jahannam From: To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Wed, 17 Sep 2008 00:50:07 -0500Subject: Bismillah [IslamCity] 'Fatwa' against Salman Khan, family for celebrating Hindu god Allah forbids in the Qur'an to marry these idol worshippers but it is so common in India to see Muslims marrying among them. Then people like these khans dare to say it's islamicly ok. And do not marry Al-Mushrikât (idolatresses, etc.) till they believe (worship Allâh Alone). And indeed a slave woman who believes is better than a (free) Mushrikah (idolatress, etc.), even though she pleases you. And give not (your daughters) in marriage to Al-Mushrikûn till they believe (in Allâh Alone) and verily, a believing slave is better than a (free) Mushrik (idolater, etc.), even though he pleases you. Those (Al-Mushrikûn) invite you to the Fire, but Allâh invites (you) to Paradise and Forgiveness by His Leave, and makes His Ayât (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) clear to mankind that they may remember. (Al-Baqarah 2:221) It is not for a believer, man or woman, when Allâh and His Messenger have decreed a matter that they should have any option in their decision. And whoever disobeys Allâh and His Messenger, he has indeed strayed in a plain error. (Al-Ahzab 33:36) 'Fatwa' against Salman Khan, family for celebrating Ganeshotsav Fri, Sep 12 11:35 PM Mumbai, Sep 12 (IANS) Veteran Bollywood scriptwriter Salim Khan, the father of actor Salman Khan, Friday questioned a fatwa, religious edict, against him by some Muslim organizations for celebrating Ganeshotsav at their home here. "What is the locus standi of these people? Who are they to question people's religious beliefs? Why don't they issue such a 'fatwa' against terrorists and terrorism, which is un-Islamic? The clerics are talking nonsense," he thundered before a television channel Friday evening. Mufti Manjar Hassan Khan Ashrafi Misbahi, the chief of Darul-Uloom Hijaziya Chishti, Mumbai, issued the 'fatwa' urging a religious boycott of the entire Khan family on Wednesday. Last week, the Khan family was in the limelight when all members along with friends and relations celebrated the Ganeshotsav festival at their home in Bandra, northwest Mumbai. The Khans celebrate Ganeshotsav every year, but this time, the live telecast of the family performing 'aarti' (invocation) of Lord Ganesh has irked some community leaders. Later, the family took part in a ceremonial immersion of the idol of Lord Ganesh. The social boycott call was issued in response to a demand by Abdul Rehman Anjaria, member of the Advisory Council, Jama Masjid, New Delhi. Anjaria, who is also member All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB), told IANS Friday evening that the 'fatwa' would be in force until Khan and his family atone for their actions of worshipping an idol of Lord Ganesh, which is not permitted in Islam. Referring to Salim Khan's outburst against the fatwa, Anjaria said they would call for certified tapes of his comments from the TV channel soon. "Depending on what he has said, the community elders may go for stringent action against the Khans, including a social boycott," Anjaria explained. According to Anjaria, Maulana Abdus Salam Bin Qasmi, president, Jamiat-Ul-Ulema-Hind, Mumbai, and Maulana Nizamuddin Ashrafi, principal, Darul Uloom Ali Hassain Ali Sunnat, Mumbai, who is also a member of AIMPLB, have also supported the 'fatwa'. Despite repeated attempts by IANS, Salim and Salman Khan were not available for their comments in the matter. Last year too Salman Khan had been issued a similar 'fatwa' by a Lucknow-based organization of Muslim clerics for joining the Ganeshotsav celebrations. Justifying the decision to celebrate Ganeshotsav, Salim said his wife (Salman's mother) is a Maharashtrian Hindu and "worshipping Lord Ganesh is in my blood". http://in.news.yahoo.com/43/20080912/914/ten-fatwa-against-salman-khan-family-for_1.html "worshipping Lord Ganesh is in my blood"... so that means he is a hindu and left Islam. _________________________________________________________________ Get all your favourite content with the slick new MSN Toolbar - FREE http://clk.atdmt.com/UKM/go/111354027/direct/01/
