Jharkhand: mob attacks Muslims at the time of iftar; forced them to flee


Ranchi: A mob attacked Muslim houses around Iftar (breaking of fast) in the evening and assaulted several people including women in Koderma district of Jharkhand on Friday night. As a result, around 20 Muslim families were forced to flee their homes in the night. The mob also vandalised the masjid and assaulted the Muslims who were offering Maghrib prayer there. The incident took place around 6:30 PM on Friday in the Kolgarma village under Koderma police station.

A similar incident had occurred in April last year as well. For the past couple of years, a group of local Hindus has been opposing construction of a masjid in the village. The mob reportedly had been pressurizing the Muslims to withdraw their police complaints over the previous attack. Since the Muslims lodged the complaint last year, they have been facing a boycott. They are not allowed to purchase anything from the village shops and to use even public well.

Following the Friday night incident, the Muslims have filed another complaint with the police. The complaint stated that the attackers were armed with swords, axes and lathis. The complaint further stated that a crowd of hundreds of people barged into the masjid and started beating the people when Muslims were breaking fast in the masjid, leaving several injured. The injured were rushed to the Sadar hospital.

While shouting provocative slogans, the rioters vandalised the masjid and burnt the copies of Holy Quran. The rioters asked Muslims to leave the village otherwise each one of them, men, women and children would be killed. The terrorized families fled their homes in the night itself. They walked around 8 kilometers and took refuge in the campus of the district collector’s office.

The Pig Broke Into The Mosque In The Midst Of Namaz

The mosque in the Malaysian city of Sungai Bulokh, Selangor, was forced to make unanticipated measures and expenses in connection with an unexpected pig who claimed to be in a mosque. On Wednesday, a wild Pig burst into the house of Allah in the middle of the service – the Pig began to rush through the prayer hall of the mosque and attack the parishioners, injuring one of them. The parishioners had to shoot a boar right in the mosque, as a result of which the carpet was dirty with blood. Given that the boar (pig) – an unclean animal by the canons of Islam, the administration of the mosque had to completely replace the carpet in the building and conduct a ritual cleansing of the prayer hall, IslamNews reports with reference to The Star . Such purification is carried out in 7 stages, while during the first one and them the contaminated surfaces are washed with a mixture of water and earth. What happened next after Pig came into the mosque ? A total c...

What the Prophet Says about Kindness to Animals

I slam is a way of life that promotes peace, dignity, respect, tolerance, justice and mercy. All of these qualities are tempered with serenity (calmness) that comes from submission to Allah. Perhaps the greatest of these qualities is mercy. It is one of the overriding themes throughout the Qur’an. {Certainly, We have brought them a Book (the Qur’an) which We have explained in detail with knowledge, – guidance, and a mercy to a people who believe.}   (Al-A`raf 7: 52) Mercy for all Mercy is that ethereal quality that embodies gentleness, piety, care, consideration, love, and forgiveness.   When these qualities are observable in this world, they are a mere reflection of Allah’s mercy towards His creation. Allah the Almighty said clearly that Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was a mercy for all creation, not just for his family and friends, for the Arab nation, for the people of his generation, or for human beings alone. {And W...

When Can i have Sex after Delivery ?

Q uestions: Assalamu alailkum,  How long should I wait to have sex with my husband after my delivery? One of my friends said if I have sex after delivery it will affect my child and they said after 3 months only I should have sex with my husband. Is it true? Will it affect my baby? Advise me please A nswer: Wa alaikum salaam wa rahmatulahi wa barakatuh, There are no prescribed amount of days that you need to wait before you have sex with your husband after delivery. However, it is not permissible to have sex if you are still bleeding. It is possible that women may bleed for up to 2 or 3 months after delivery and this is perhaps why some people say to wait this amount of time. If you have stopped bleeding and 2 or 3 months has not yet passed then there is no harm in having sex. There is no way that it could harm your baby. This might be a cultural argument, but medically and Islamically is not true. If you wish, you should confirm this with a reputab...
