No, I did not copy this gayatri mantra from Google. My favorite story, Ramayana. My favorite TV serial, Mahabharata. I am acquainted with all of its detail by heart. The sweets of holi make my mouth wet. And I still burn firecrackers in diwali (just the rocket. I am aware of the pollution thing). After all this said let me tell you that I am a practicing Muslim and I offer 5 times prayer daily. Many a times in his life time a Muslim is questioned about his identity and is interrogated about his patriotism. Not mentioning the person asking such questions is of course an imbecile. Before proceeding to the answers I would like to give some clips of my life. For the starting 18 years of my life I lived at place with a big hanuman temple some few steps ahead. I woke up in the morning, I played and I did my homework listening to the bhajans and song. And let me tell you that I loved them. As I am out of that place right now I miss those evenings and morning full of beautiful tones and bhajan. The facts are not being exaggerated.
Scientists and doctors in the western world are discovering new things and inventing ways to fight diseases but we are still fighting to build a temple and a mosque. There are a vast number of mosques and temple in India.
"...The whole Earth has been made a mosque and pure for me… ” sahih Bukhari
These are the words of Prophet Muhammad PBUH. Do you need one more mosque or some education? Think over it.
Let us flip the coin. You want to build a Ram mandir to make him happy. I doubt, do you really know the character of Ram? Would he be happy on destroying mosque to build temple.
Let us not indulge in such acts and work for the betterment of our nation. Islam is not what ISIS and Boko Haram is doing. Islam condemns killing strictly.
Whoever kills a soul unless for a soul or for corruption [done] in the land - it is as if he had slain mankind entirely? And whoever saves one - it is as if he had saved mankind entirely.
Quran 5: 32
The first verse of the quran to be bestowed upon the prophet , contains the word ‘pen’
“…Who taught by the pen,”
Quran 96 :4
The Quran contains a chapter in the name of pen
Surah al Qalam (chapter no 68)
Its essential for all Muslims to educate him to such a level that he can differentiate between right and wrong. Education is as compulsory on you as is namaz. It’s high time we must understand the importance of education.
The only reason behind every riot is lack of education and to be easily influenced by anyone who is a good orator.
My religion does not prohibit me to befriend any non Muslim. My religion says if your neighbor is bothered by your actions, you are not a Muslim. When I donate money to a beggar I do not check out his religion. I do not ask her name before giving my seat to an old woman. Who is Muslim, who is Hindu , let us move out of this question.
I would like to conclude by these lines.
Masjid to hui hasil humko, khali Imaan gawa baithe.

Mandir ko bachaya lad-bhid kar, khali Bhagwan gawa baithe...

Dharti ko humne naap liya, Hum chand sitaron tak pahuche, kul kaynaat ko jeet liya,

khali Insaan gawa baithe
