Muslims Must Look Within Before Preaching to Others!

The legal notice reportedly sent to Kareena Kapoor Khan for wearing a royal ornament inscribed with Ayat-ul-Kursi, and the reported fatwa against Sara Ali Khan for visiting a temple, are matters of concern. Why do some people want to make the beautiful teachings of Islam so narrow-minded? Will such actions bring people closer to Islam or push them further away?

Islam stands for love, humanity, compassion, and brotherhood. In our society, people from all religions visit dargahs, offer prayers in mosques, and receive Imam Zamin before embarking on journeys. There is no discrimination in such gestures of faith and goodwill.

In Gaza, innocent children are being killed, yet many voices remain silent. Instead of preaching to others, Muslims should first reflect on the shortcomings within their own community. Those who create controversies in the name of religious sentiments will find little support among the younger generation. Islam is not the personal property of any individual or organisation.
