Hyderabad, Oct 20 : AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi has alleged that the Modi government is trying to convert India into “Hindu rashtra” with its attempt to impose a Uniform Civil Code (UCC).
The MP from Hyderabad said that by interfering in the Muslim Personal Law, the government was trying to show that Muslims were second class citizens.
Stating that pluralism and diversity were the strengths and beauty of India, he said any attempt to destroy secularism would weaken the country.
Owaisi was addressing a public meeting organized by All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) to oppose UCC. The meeting began at 8 p.m. on Wednesday and continued well past midnight.
Leaders of all sects of Muslims and various schools of Islamic thought addressed the meeting attended by thousands of people including women.
The speakers made it clear that Muslims would never tolerate any attempt to interfere in Muslim Personal Law.
Owaisi ridiculed the affidavit filed by the central government in the Supreme Court and said that by comparing Indian Muslims with the Muslims of Pakistan and other countries, the government had insulted not just Indian Muslims but the entire country.
He pointed out that Pakistan was not a functional democracy while other countries mentioned in the affidavit have either monarchies or were no comparison to India.
The MP dared the government to scrap the special status enjoyed by states like Mizoram and Nagaland and abolish the marriage laws of Goa.
He wanted to know if the government, by bringing the UCC, would extend tax rebate enjoyed by Hindu undivided families to Muslims.
Criticising Prime Minister Narendra Modi for raising religious slogans during the Dussehra programme, the MP said no Indian Prime Minister in the past had raised such a slogan.
Stating that there were 16 Directive Principles of the Constitution, he wondered why the government was bothered only about the UCC and cow slaughter.—IANS
A Junkyard dog, Who Assume that that’s what life is: chained up, barking all day.There’s going to be a lot of Dogs Barking, but the Wagon Train moves ahead.SicKular Dogs barking. It doesn’t mean anything beyond Yelping, Just to Express being alive. Asaduddin-AkbaruddinThe Owaisi brothers descendent of Razakars (the private militia that resisted the integration of Hyderabad state into the dominion of India) are poisoning the minds of Indian Muslim community across the country by spreading communal hatred against other community. Spitting venom against nation are troubles for India going forward, their agenda is to create chaos in a True Secular democracy. Whose sole purpose is anarchy, are making fool to their community & making religious issue to enjoy Power and Money. Look at their speeches, they never guide towards harmony, they always provoke, encourage and support hatred – That’s how they attract people and voters too. Hyderabad is a place where young Muslim girls are sold off to rich Arab sheikhs. Have any of those “Secular” thugs ever protested against it in the walled city near Charminar??? Why not The extremist Muslims youth Icon Owaisi brothers stop wealthy Arabs from purchasing poor Muslim girls in Hyderabad. May be they are getting some party funds from the at**s. So they keep silent ???

India should remain as secular country but dominated by hindus because if you turn any country on religion basis then democracy won’t grow.
However, I would like to ask the following questions to muslim brothers who want India to remain secular:
1) Do you think that Islamic countries in the world should also be turned into secular countries?
2) Do you think temples & churches to be built in Saudi?
If any muslim says no to above questions, then he does not have right to speak about India’s secularism. We do not want hypocrisy.
TO BE TRUTHFUL,IT CAN NOT BE.AND NEVER BE.
IT IS POSSIBLE CHURCHES MAY BE CONSTRUCTED BUT TEMPLES HIGHLY DIFFICULT.
WHY / WHY/ WHY?
ITS ANSWER IS IN VEDAS AND BHAGWAT GITA
CONCEPT OF GOD IN HINDUISM
1. Common Concept of God in Hinduism:
Hinduism is commonly perceived as a polytheistic religion. Indeed, most Hindus would attest to this, by professing belief in multiple Gods. While some Hindus believe in the existence of three gods, some believe in thousands of gods, and some others in thirty three crore i.e. 330 million Gods. However, learned Hindus, who are well versed in their scriptures, insist that a Hindu should believe in and worship only one God.
The major difference between the Hindu and the Muslim perception of God is the common Hindus’ belief in the philosophy of Pantheism. Pantheism considers everything, living and non-living, to be Divine and Sacred. The common Hindu, therefore, considers everything as God. He considers the trees as God, the sun as God, the moon as God, the monkey as God, the snake as God and even human beings as manifestations of God!
Islam, on the contrary, exhorts man to consider himself and his surroundings as examples of Divine Creation rather than as divinity itself. Muslims therefore believe that everything is God’s i.e. the word ‘God’ with an apostrophe ‘s’. In other words the Muslims believe that everything belongs to God. The trees belong to God, the sun belongs to God, the moon belongs to God, the monkey belongs to God, the snake belongs to God, the human beings belong to God and everything in this universe belongs to God.
Thus the major difference between the Hindu and the Muslim beliefs is the difference of the apostrophe ‘s’. The Hindu says everything is God. The Muslim says everything is God’s.
2. Concept of God according to Hindu Scriptures:
We can gain a better understanding of the concept of God in Hinduism by analysing Hindu scriptures.
BHAGAVAD GITA
The most popular amongst all the Hindu scriptures is the Bhagavad Gita.
Consider the following verse from the Gita: “Those whose intelligence has been stolen by material desires surrender unto demigods and follow the particular rules and regulations of worship according to their own natures.” [Bhagavad Gita 7:20]
The Gita states that people who are materialistic worship demigods i.e. ‘gods’ besides the True God.
UPANISHADS:
The Upanishads are considered sacred scriptures by the Hindus.
The following verses from the Upanishads refer to the Concept of God:
“Ekam evadvitiyam”
“He is One only without a second.”
[Chandogya Upanishad 6:2:1]1
“Na casya kascij janita na cadhipah.”
“Of Him there are neither parents nor lord.”
[Svetasvatara Upanishad 6:9]2
“Na tasya pratima asti”
“There is no likeness of Him.”
[Svetasvatara Upanishad 4:19]3
The following verses from the Upanishad allude to the inability of man to imagine God in a particular form:
“Na samdrse tisthati rupam asya, na caksusa pasyati kas canainam.”
“His form is not to be seen; no one sees Him with the eye.”
[Svetasvatara Upanishad 4:20]4
THE VEDAS
Vedas are considered the most sacred of all the Hindu scriptures. There are four principal Vedas: Rigveda, Yajurveda, Samveda and Atharvaveda.
Yajurveda
The following verses from the Yajurveda echo a similar concept of God:
“na tasya pratima asti
“There is no image of Him.”
[Yajurveda 32:3]5
“shudhama poapvidham”
“He is bodyless and pure.”
[Yajurveda 40:8]6
“Andhatama pravishanti ye asambhuti mupaste”
“They enter darkness, those who worship the natural elements” (Air, Water, Fire, etc.). “They sink deeper in darkness, those who worship sambhuti.”
[Yajurveda 40:9]7
Sambhuti means created things, for example table, chair, idol, etc.
The Yajurveda contains the following prayer:
“Lead us to the good path and remove the sin that makes us stray and wander.”
[Yajurveda 40:16]8
Atharvaveda
The Atharvaveda praises God in Book 20, hymn 58 and verse 3:
“Dev maha osi”
“God is verily great”
[Atharvaveda 20:58:3]9
Rigveda
The oldest of all the vedas is Rigveda. It is also the one considered most sacred by the Hindus. The Rigveda states in Book 1, hymn 164 and verse 46:
“Sages (learned Priests) call one God by many names.”
[Rigveda 1:164:46]
The Rigveda gives several different attributes to Almighty God. Many of these are mentioned in Rigveda Book 2 hymn 1.
Among the various attributes of God, one of the beautiful attributes mentioned in the Rigveda Book II hymn 1 verse 3, is Brahma. Brahma means ‘The Creator’. Translated into Arabic it means Khaaliq. Muslims can have no objection if Almighty God is referred to as Khaaliq or ‘Creator’ or Brahma. However if it is said that Brahma is Almighty God who has four heads with each head having a crown, Muslims take strong exception to it.
Describing Almighty God in anthropomorphic terms also goes against the following verse of Yajurveda:
“Na tasya Pratima asti”
“There is no image of Him.”
[Yajurveda 32:3]
Another beautiful attribute of God mentioned in the Rigveda Book II hymn 1 verse 3 is Vishnu. Vishnu means ‘The Sustainer’. Translated into Arabic it means Rabb. Again, Muslims can have no objection if Almighty God is referred to as Rabb or ‘Sustainer’ or Vishnu. But the popular image of
Vishnu among Hindus, is that of a God who has four arms, with one of the right arms holding the Chakra, i.e. a discus and one of the left arms holding a ‘conch shell’, or riding a bird or reclining on a snake couch. Muslims can never accept any image of God. As mentioned earlier this also goes against Svetasvatara Upanishad Chapter 4 verse 19.
“Na tasya pratima asti”
“There is no likeness of Him”
The following verse from the Rigveda Book 8, hymn 1, verse 1 refer to the Unity and Glory of the Supreme Being:
“Ma cid anyad vi sansata sakhayo ma rishanyata”
“O friends, do not worship anybody but Him, the Divine One. Praise Him alone.”
[Rigveda 8:1:1]10
“Devasya samituk parishtutih”
“Verily, great is the glory of the Divine Creator.”
[Rigveda 5:1:81]11
Brahma Sutra of Hinduism:
The Brahma Sutra of Hinduism is:
“Ekam Brahm, dvitiya naste neh na naste kinchan”
“There is only one God, not the second; not at all, not at all, not in the least bit.”
Thus only a dispassionate study of the Hindu scriptures can help one understand the concept of God in Hinduism.
NOW YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT VEDAS AND BHAGWAT GITA SAYS.
SO ISLAM SAYS THE SAME ,ONLY A PLACE WHERE UNSEEN ONE ALLAH OR GOD IS WORSHIPPED CAN BE CONSTRUCTED,IF SOME TEMPLES ARE THERE ,IT IS JUST TO PLEASE HINDUS ,WITHIN HEART NO MUSLIM LIKES IT UNLESS IT IS PLACE OF WORSHIP FOR ONE GOD WHICH IS MENTIONED IN VEDAS AND BHAGWAT GITA
Hindu scriptures are very vast. It is difficult for a common human being to understand then in one life term. However, few muslims have studied some part of scriptures & then they started concluding that idol worship is prohibited in hindu religion.
The correct statement is “Idol worship is neither mandatory nor prohibited in Hinduism”.
The shlokas mentioned in hindu scriptures are inter-related & hence they need to be studied in a group instead of individually.
You have mentioned few verses & claimed that idol worship is prohibited. I suggest you to read related shlokas & understand complete meaning. Here are few links that answer your misconception:
http://akhilapadhiblogs.blogspot.in/2012/08/andhatama-pravishanti-ye-asambhuti.html
http://www.vedicgranth.org/misconceptions-on-vedas
I suggest you to study them & then make comment about hinduism. Study them comprehensively instead of specific shlokas.
I also know that you will not study because it needs real passion & patience which you don’t have. Your famous meat eater Zakir Naik is interested in only his conversion business & more donations from middle east.
MUSLIMS PERSONALLY HAVE NOTHING AGAINST CONSTRUCTING ANY TEMPLES
BUT READ THIS AND TRY TO UNDERSTAND MUSLIMS ,WE ARE TIRED OF EXPLAINING VEDAS TO HINDUS .
Yajurveda
The following verses from the Yajurveda echo a similar concept of God:
“na tasya pratima asti
“There is no image of Him.”
[Yajurveda 32:3]5
“shudhama poapvidham”
“He is bodyless and pure.”
[Yajurveda 40:8]6
“Andhatama pravishanti ye asambhuti mupaste”
“They enter darkness, those who worship the natural elements” (Air, Water, Fire, etc.). “They sink deeper in darkness, those who worship sambhuti.”
[Yajurveda 40:9]7
Sambhuti means created things, for example table, chair, idol, etc.
The Yajurveda contains the following prayer:
“Lead us to the good path and remove the sin that makes us stray and wander.”
[Yajurveda 40:16]8
Please refer to above answer.
Why Indian Muslims need a Stone Age Preacher Zakir Naik & Hate Mongers like Owasi Brothers descendent of Razakars (the private militia that resisted the integration of Hyderabad state into the dominion of India) ,AzamKhan,IUML(Kerala)+++ when they have a perfect Role Model in the form of Dr. Shri Abdul Kalam, Ashfaqulla,Abdul Hameed ++++ ???????…….. If Indian Muslims idolised Dr. Kalam,Ashfaqulla,Abdul Hameed+++ instead of Stone Age Preacher & Hate Mongers, this country would have been a different place………
BECAUSE HE IS THE PERSON WHO MADE IT REACH TO MILLIONS OF INDIAN THAT VEDAS ASKS TO WORSHIP ONE GOD NONE ELSE
HATE MONGERS ARE IN ALL COMMUNITIES

SUCH IS STATE OF MENTALITY INSIDE AND IT IS SAID DRDO WAS CREATED BY HIM WITH MEN SELECTED BY HIM JUST TO WORK SATISFACTORILY WITHOUT ANY POLITICS.
THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF MUSLIM NUCLEAR WHO LEFT INDIA T WORK ABROAD BECAUSE OF POLITICS.
VEDAS ARE HINDU HOLY SCRIPTURES ,IF ZAKIR NAIK IS TEACHING IT WHAT IS WRONG IN IT ,VEDAS ARE IMPORTANT OR NUCLEAR BOMBS
BOMBS WILL ONLY KILL,TODAY YOU HAVE BOMBS ,TOMORROW OTHERS WILL BE HAVING.
VEDAS SAYS WORSHIPPING SOMETHING OTHER THAN ONE GOD IS EXTREME IGNORANCE
JAI HIND

NOT EVERY MUSLIM LIKES HIM FULL ,HE COMMITTS MISTAKES TOO .I LIKE HIM AT THE SAME TIME DISLIKE HIM FOR HIS GRIEVIOUS MISTAKES
NOW TELL ME ACCORDING TO VEDAS THERE ARE HOW MANY GODS

GOI should sideline AIMPLB and go ahead with Uniform Civil Code. The survey should be conducted for all Muslims and let them decide what they want. In fact, if it is for Women the survey should only be conducted for Women…let them decide how they want to live. Who the hell has given right to the Men and Mullas to decide how Muslim Women should behave.Which Pretends to be the voice of a group or section !Muslims Hardliners don’t want to improve the condition and life style of Muslims, but instead take back to 7th century, like the Wahabis & Salafi are trying.A Woman should be given Equal rights as Men. No religion can become Larger than a Nation! One Country One Law, No Discrimination.Such grave Rituals should be Eradicated in 21st Century,Hatt’s off, Hail India as GOI not playing any Vote Bank Politics, just thinking about Deprived people for Equality. GOI is doing right proves that Constitution is Supreme for it and honoring the Constitution as it should be.
Triple Talaq (Sinful Practice) has been banned even in the country of origin of Islam…Triple Talaq best example of Terrorism on Women today that too in 2016 is really Pathetic.. (Personal Laws Mostly Keep Alive Defects Of Religion And Religious Leaders Fatwas) i.e Personal Laws Have No Place in Constitution & Religious Laws Have No Place in Secularism.Uniform Civil Code (1 Nation 1 Law), is a must for any Decent Country.One Country One Law, No Discrimination .The Question of National integrity cannot be comprised,India is a Secular State and there has to be One law to protect its Secular state. Which implies that for growth of India and Betterment of Indian.
