THE GLORIOUS QUR’AN

ON HINDUSALLAH’S ETERNAL AND IMMUTABLE COMMANDMENTS

REGARDING MEMBERS OF THE WORLD’S OLDEST FAITH

BY PANDIT GAGA BHATT

Introduction

To  be  a  true  Muslim  one  must  believe  in  three  things:—

1. The  unity,  supremacy  and  uniqueness  of  Allah  —  the  one  and  only  god.2. That  Muhammad  was  his  Ainal  messenger  and  the  best  role-­‐model  for  mankind.3. In  the  revelation  of  Allah  —  the  Qur’an  which  is  the  eternal  and  unalterable  Ainal  

message  of  Allah  to  all  humankind.

Hindus  raised  with   the  concept  of  ahimsa   (non-­‐violence)  being  the   highest   form  of   religion  naturally  assume  that  all   religions   ascribe  to   the  same  values  of  universal   peace,  well-­‐being,  compassion,   kindness,   harmony,   tolerance   etc.   When   the   faithful   of   other   religions   deviate  from   these   universal   humanistic   principles   the   “politically   correct”  brush   them   off   as   “the  fanatical  minority”.  As   citizens   of   a   multi-­‐cultural   society   it   is   important   for   us   to   know   what   the   other  communities  think  of  us  or  what  their  sacred  scriptures  say.  Now  it  is  also  true  that  the  vast  majority  of  believers  of  any  religion  have  not  read  or  seriously  studied  their  own  scriptures  and  live  good  and  peaceful  lives    in  spite  of  what  they  are  told  to  believe  and  do.    This  being  so  here   are   a   few   select   verses   from   the   Qur’an   in   which   the   omnipotent   and   omniscient  Supreme  Being  called  Allah  gives  detailed  teaching  and  directives  to  believers  regarding  those  who  reject  Islam  and  it’s  wholesome  and  beneAicial  message.    There  are  many  hateful  verses  in   the  Quran  speciAically  aimed  at  Jews   and  Christians   but  here   I’m   giving  only  those  which  have  been  used  speciAically  against  Hindus  (polytheists).The  ‘moderate’  Muslims  will  argue  that  the  polytheists  referred  to  are  those  pre-­‐Islamic  Arabs  that   were   resisting   Muhammad’s   socio-­‐political   reforms   and   not   the   Hindus,   Buddhists,  Taoists  of  today.      But  this  is  a  dissemblance    because  if  one  accepts  the  Quran  as  being   the  Ainal  testimony  and  commandants  of  an  omniscient  God  then  the  message  must  be  valid  in  all  it’s  parts   for  eternity.  Otherwise   it   is   just  another  historical   document,  parts  of  which  are  no  longer  relevant  and  therefore  NOT  the  Ainal  message  of  Allah.History   proves   that   the   Muslim   scholars   have   considered   that   the   injunctions   to   kill   and  forcibly  convert  Hindus  was  and  is  still  valid.  During  the  nearly  1000  years  that  Muslims  ruled  much   of   India,   hundreds   and   thousands   of   temples   were   destroyed,   it   is   estimated   that  upwards  of  50,000,000  people  were  slaughtered,   millions  more  (women  and  children)   sold  into   slavery,   and  whole   provinces   converted  by   force  —   all   those   of  Pakistan,   Afghanistan,  Bangla-­‐desh  etc.The  Bali-­‐bombings   in  which  202   people   died   and  a   further  240  were   injured  was   as  much  about  the  Balinese  Hindus  as  it  was  about  foreigners.Even   today   the   Hindus   of   Bangladesh,   Pakistan  and  Afghanistan   are   gradually   being   either  driven  out,  forced  to  convert    or  exterminated  .  The  injunctions  apparently  are  still  valid  and  honest  Imams  will  certainly  conAirm  this!

The Quran is a clear revelation of Allah’s guidance, and should be accepted as it is, rejection is punished by eternal torment.

Any repudiation of it’s verses merits a horrible punishment.

Hinduism is unacceptable as a religion.

Hindus are the worst of living creatures in the sight of Allah

3

Hindus are accursed.

Muslims should never obey Hindus (which makes management an extremely difficult task!) … and they should be bashed with the Koran.

4

Hindus are unclean.

ALL Hindus are going to hell to burn for eternity regardless of their virtue.

5

Even the good deeds of Hindus are worthless like mirages in a desert.

Hindus will experience only failure and Muslims success. (This holy truth doesn’t seem to have materialized as the majority of Muslims are living in poverty and ignorance. Pakistan and Afghanistan are failed states!)

The teachings of Hinduism lead to darkness (ignorance) and eternal damnation.

6

The Vedas, Upanishads, Gita, Ramayana etc. teach only lies regardless of the fact that there are objective, verifiable truths contained in every Scripture.

Hindus believe in superstition and false idols.

Hindus worship not God but the Devil.

7

The worst and most unforgivable of all sins is any deviation from strict monotheism

Hindus should be mercilessly slaughtered until polytheism is eradicated.

Allah orders Muslims to kill the disbelievers (the word used is not fight but rather “kill” qatal) "until there is no more Fitnah." According to Ibn Abbas and others, "Fitnah" means polytheism, "And religion (worship), is for Allah" meaning Allah's religion should stand supreme and overshadowing the rest of the religions.

In the Sahihayn, it is reported that the Prophet said: "I have been ordered (by Allah) to fight the people till they say: "None has the right to be worshipped by Allah, and whoever says it will save his life and property from me except on breaking the law (rights and conditions for which he will be punished justly), and his accounts will be with Allah"".

Tafsir (commentary) of Ibn Kathir, op cit, page 117, 11

8

The injunction here again is qatal which means to kill or to wage a bloody conflict with the enemy (Hindus) until idolatry (fitnah) is extirpated and only the religion of Islam is triumphant. The term fitnah also means any resistance to the spread of Islam.

Taghut is translated as idols

Hindus must be slaughtered unless they convert. Thus we see that in Islam conversion (or ‘reversion’ as the Islamists say) is not a matter of personal conviction but formally subscribing to a social-political system i.e. joining the “Party-of-God.”

And those Muslims who fight and kill the Hindus for the sake of the spread of Islam are blessed and will be well-rewarded by the compassionate and omniscient Allah.

9

Hindus who are not killed can be ransomed

10

On the other hand if Hindus agree to live submissively under Islamic rule they can pay a poll-tax (jizyah) and accept humiliation at the hands of believers.

Actually the privilege of living as subjugated second-class citizens (dhimmis) who pay a monthly poll-tax (jizyah) as protection money was granted only to the “people of the book” i.e. Christians and Jews. The Hanafiyah school of Sharia jurisprudence which operated in India was unique out of the four schools as being the only one which granted dimmi status to Hindus. The others believed all polytheists should be forcibly converted or exterminated without compromise or mercy.

Muslims should never take Hindus as friends because they will corrupt the pure and righteous believers.

11

Muslims should never marry Hindus — unless they convert.

Righteous Muslims should even fight with, and be harsh to their Hindu neighbors

Seeing that all Hindus are destined for hell anyway there is no need to be courteous and kind to them on the way!

12

Muslims must be compassionate to other Muslims but merciless to Hindus.13
