THE GREAT MOGUL EMPEROR - AURANGZEB
by Mike Gandhi on Mar 22, 2007 05:06 PM  Permalink 

It should be pointed out here that zakat (2.5% of savings) and %u2018ushr (10% of agricultural products) were collected from all Muslims, who owned some wealth (beyond a certain minimum, called nisab). They also paid sadaqah, fitrah, and khums. None of these were collected from any non-Muslim. As a matter of fact, the per capita collection from Muslims was several fold that of non-Muslims. Further to Auranzeb's credit is his abolition of a lot of taxes, although this fact is not usually mentioned. In his book Mughal Administration, Sir Jadunath Sarkar, foremost historian on the Mughal dynasty, mentions that during Aurangzeb's reign in power, nearly sixty-five types of taxes were abolished, which resulted in a yearly revenue loss of fifty million rupees from the state treasury.

While some Hindu historians are retracting the lies, the textbooks and historic accounts in Western countries have yet to admit their error and set the record straight.

Talak or Qula - Choice up to Her and Him - Be sane taking any Decision.

Try to read in full context always everything.

In Islam Man can leave woman by Giving her Talak

On the other hand woman can also leave man by demanding and taking Qula.

Both Husband and Wife has the equal right.

1.If Husband give one Time Talak then he want to rejoin with wife without any halala or anything can join within the said period with both mutual acceptance.

2.If they do not joined within the said period then they re-join with making new Agreement ( Aqad ) with elders and can join and man has to pay Mehr.(Good will Amount agreed to her).

3.If a man do the same, 2nd time and give talak even then it is permited him to take her back as per above ( with mutual understanding or agreement)

4.If the Man give three times Talak then It is become Talak Baayen.

5.If the man want her to marry her and join with her. He cannot marry her. He has to wait unless it is become Halal(Permissible) for him. Then the Halala is must. Thats mean The woman should marry other person by her own will and the other man also marry her with good intention. Should live together and consume marriage. If they could not carry-on and they seprated. Then the first Husband can Marry her. This is called Halala. It is a great punishment for a man to accept the woman. If he accepts thats mean he has love for and ready to bear such punishment. The first thing in Islam is " Intention". Whatever you do the intention is good or bad you know. ALLAH KNOWS WHAT IS HIDDEN IN YOUR HEART AND HE WILL GET WHATEVER HE OR SHE DOES.

Allah and our prophet clearly said that they hate Talak. The Talak is very bad in Islam.

Islam is the only religion which give the right to Man and Woman to get-out of wed when they do not like it. Many Muslim Woman took Qula when they do not like husband BAD HABITS. They might BE drunkard or

Sure Allah may said Talak is bad but why does the women have to suffer for case 5. It's a literal version of "Go get f****ked" and then the man "accepts" her back, it's a very strange custom.

Regarding option of opting out and freedom for women, why do they have to walk around in tents ? How can they find another man when women are not even allowed to get out of the house unless chaperoned.

Now let us deal with Aurangzeb's imposition ofthe jizya tax which had drawn severe criticism from many Hindu historians. It is true that jizya was lifted during the reign of Akbar and Jahangir and that Aurangzeb later reinstated this. Before I delve into the subject of Aurangzeb's jizya tax, or taxing the non-Muslims, it is worthwhile to point out that jizya is nothing more than a war tax which was collected only from able-bodied young non-Muslim male citizens living in a Muslim country who did not want to volunteer for the defense of the country. That is, no such tax was collected from non-Muslims who volunteered to defend the country. This tax was not collected from women, and neither from immature males nor from disabled or old male citizens. For payment of such taxes, it became incumbent upon the Muslim government to protect the life, property and wealth of its non-Muslim citizens. If for any reason the government failed to protect its citizens, especially during a war, the taxable amount was returned.

1. War tax OR shame tax ?
2. Why call these tax payes 'Dhimmis' (Inferior)


"no such tax was collected from non-Muslims who volunteered to defend the country"

1. Defend the country against whom ?
2. Who was the invader?

DON'T CUT PASTE FROM BOOKS....

A stone inscription in the historic Balaji or Vishnu Temple, located north of Chitrakut Balaghat, still shows that it was commissioned by the Emperor himself. The proof of Aurangzeb's land grant for famous Hindu religious sites in Kasi, Varanasi can easily be verified from the deed records extant at those sites. The same textbook reads: "During the fifty year reign of Aurangzeb, not a single Hindu was forced to embrace Islam. He did not interfere with any Hindu religious activities." (p. 138) Alexander Hamilton, a British historian, toured India towards the end of Aurangzeb's fifty year reign and observed that every one was free to serve and worship God in his own way.
