Vande Mataram
by Sikandar Shaikh on Sep 07, 2006 07:42 PM   Permalink

I dont think that,more than 95% of the muslims in India have problem to sing Vande matram.I want to ask few of them who are opposing this. Islam teaches "Total submission to the will of Almighty God "(Allah,the arabic name).It is a great sin in islam to worship anybody other than the one and only God(Allah)who is a creator of whole universe.In Quran Allah says,I can forgive any sin committed by a human but not shirk(worshiping other than Him ,one God).The holy books of islam (Quran & Hadith)also teaches to every muslim to be faithful to his/her own motherland. If he/she is not doing so,then it is like having intercourse with his own mother,it is a big sin. I honestly ask my fellow muslim brothers and sisters on "vande matram" issue
1)There are many meanings of the word "Vande",one meaning of them may be amounting to worship.Among many meanings take one meaning suitable for you and recite this wonderful national song.
2)Before opposing trivial matters like "vande mataram I ask my fellow muslims, Are we really succeeding to please Almighty God in our day to day life. Do we really follow true religion and teachings of islam? If not, we have to ask our millions of fellow brothers who have embraced Islam world wide by choice, in past few decades. We have to ask them, what they find in islam to accept this faith by converting from other religion. We have to do this ,because we dont have time to study our religion, because we got it by chance. We are wasting our whole valuable life by involving ourselves more in materialistic world than the spiritual one.
