Fatwa issued against Salman Khan for attending Ganesh idol puja

September 24, 2007 |14:29 | Gossips By : Team X

Salman Khan, the king of controversy seems to have got himself into some more trouble and this time it is with the maulvis (religious heads) of the Islam religion. Salman who has just received bail in his chinkara case in Jodhpur , recently attended the Ganesh puja and participated in the religious rituals at the event. Upset that Salman was seen being a part of worshipping the Ganesh idol, a Muslim organization has issued a fatwa against the actor as worshipping any form of idol is prohibited in Islam.The Daarul-Ifta-Manjar-e-Islam organization which is based in Bareilly has strongly opposed the fact that Salman attended and participated in the Ganesh puja. A fatwa against the actor was issued claiming that unless Salman re-read all the kalmas he would not be considered a Muslim. Salman Khan attended the puja which was attended by thousands of devotees as the Ganesh idol was a huge one and is believed to also have miraculous powers. In fact this was one of the few times that Salman actually turned up early for the event. However he left immediately after participating in the puja due to huge crowds who were also his fans. However Salman’s mother Salma was a Hindu and hence he along with his family often bring home the Ganesh idol. Recently too they brought home the Ganesh idol for one and half days, Sallu’s sis Arpita is also a firm believer. Salman along with step mom Helen was seen dancing before proceeding to immerse the idol in water.

Salman said “We practice all religions at home, we have a place of worship for every God. My parents have inculcated the values of all faiths in us.” However he also said Religion is a personal thing. I love all Gods, but I practice what I want within the four walls of my home.” Recently when Salman was shooting for Mera Bharat Mahan in Ladakh, he along with co-stars Dino Morea and Mithun Chakraborthy visited some monasteries and temples out there. Actor Salman and the rest of them were given a guided tour by the monks who treated Sallu like royalty. At one of the monasteries they even went around the complex chanting a spiritual prayer so that their wishes would be fulfilled.

Salman, Sharukh, Saif and any other Indian Actor are Hindu just because they live and work in india. When you live in non-muslim country you become non-muslim. Shame on those muslims who did not leave india after the partion in 1947. This is why our Muslim leaders separated us from India. Salman Hell is waiting for you my friend, don''t worry you will have Sharukh and other fellows with you too.

Bilal it is because of people like yourself, there is so much discrimination in this World, have you never been taught democracy, equality and justice? It is because of people like yourself that moderate Muslims are blamed for wrong doings. Why don''t you follow your God and stick to your plans, and not interfere in other people''s lives. It will make the World a better place, I mean common, has Salman evver interfered in your life or your community''s? So why do you choose to interfere and be judgemental about his? Be civilized dude.

Salman you are good for nothing, you was in controversies you are and you will be, i was a big fan of you, but after this i hate you! we already stopped watching your serial and we will never watch your films, Its too simple to tell that you believe in all gods, Do you ??? you can see only 1 nagative of islam what about other possitives, YOUR BAD TIME STARTS NOW..
Priya - First ask ur load ganasha to bless you!!! dnt be soooo happy that one muslim is converted, As per calculation 8000 to 18000 muslims are converting to islams only in USA (every year)not because of force but because of the culture, manners and the true faith in Allah.

Annoymous

Discusting, the lot of you!
