The Arabic word mushrik in Islamic theology means 'one who associates a worldly object with Divine power'. If the Hindus are mushrik in this sense, so are we, the majority of Muslims in the subcontinent. They associate with God Almighty numerous idols put on pedestals and we, numerous saints of antiquity buried in their graves. They worship God through the medium of images seen as sublime symbols, we petition dead saints to intercede with God to grant us earthly and heavenly favours. If one way is shirk, so is the other. If despite all this Islam remains a "monotheistic" faith, so does Hinduism, says Professor Tahir Mahmood, Member, Law commission of India and former Chairman, National Minorities Commission. http://syedmdasadullah.blogspot.com/2008/10/indian-ulema-have-no-time-to-lose-must.html Tablighi Jamaat in the light of Facts and Truth by Maulana Arshadul Qadri<http://syedmdasadullah.blogspot.com/2008/10/tablighi-jamaat-in-light-of-facts-and.html> Tablighi Jamaat in the light of Facts and Truth by Maulana Arshadul Qadri NewAgeIslam.com does not believe in sectarianism of any kind, but deems discussions and debates essential for clearing the atmosphere of doubt and stopping the mudslinging that keeps going on in the community as a matter of routine, with Ulema of one sect feeling no compunction in calling the ulema of other sects Kafirs and deviants, and indeed liable to be put to death. This is one reason why people professing belief in religions other than Islam have genuine difficulty in taking our claims of peacefulness seriously. We will publish all the eight chapters of Maulana Arshad Quadri’s book on Tableeghi Jamaat. We begin with the Question & Reply, Introduction, Foreword, Implication and Author’s experience. Anyone who disagrees with him on any point will be welcome to debate in our pages within the bounds of civilised and relevant discourse. That wills only further the understanding of the Jamaat that is the purpose of the reproduction of this book.
