Ratna Pathak Shah, the famous stage, television and film actor and wife of Urduwood actor Nasiruddin Shah has become worried that India is turning into Saudi Arabia. She recently said: “We are becoming conservative and superstitious”. She however did not clarify who those “we” were? But it was obviously directed towards Hindus. One more point. Can Ratna Pathak Shah explain what un-Islamic things are done in Saudi Arabia? No. Because, whatever Saudi Arabia does, it does as per Islam. It does not need any certificate of what Islam should be from any self-obsessed Indian woman.
Ratna was concerned that people asked her if she did Karva Chauth fasting for her husband Nasiruddin Shah. Ratna lamented that earlier people never asked her such question. To her Karva Chauth was conservatism and superstitious. Had she been happy if people would have asked her about the Khatna of her two sons Imaad and Vivaan? Very predictively, Ratna Pathak Shah found Hijab raw and Sar Tan Se Juda programme of her beloved community to be highly liberal and rational.
If Karva Chauth is superstitious, what about Khatna, Eid, Namaz and Hajj? Are not those superstitious? If Karva Chauth is irrational, then what are Halala, Mutah, Talaq, polygamy and Quran-approved wife beating? These are not only irrational and regressive, but also highly immoral. Conservatism and superstition are also at the core of Islam with its thousands of Haram and Halal. Islam controls hundred percent of daily life of Muslims from waking up in the morning to sexual act with wife in the night. Nasiruddin will never laugh away those in public. Ratna’s ignorance about Islam does not make it rational, progressive and devoid of superstitions.
It is not understood why Ratna Pathak Shah got so hyper about today’s India? Actually her ‘name’ had created all problems. Had she used her Muslim name, no one would have asked her about Karva Chauth. And if she was not converted to Islam, her relationship with Nasiruddin Shah remained adultery called Zina as per Shariah. She may consult any Alim to understand that.
Does Ratna know that Quran 2:221 reveals “Do not marry polytheistic women until they believe; for a believing slave-woman is better than a free polytheist, even though she may look pleasant to you. And do not marry your women to polytheistic men until they believe, for a believing slave-man is better than a free polytheist, even though he may look pleasant to you. They invite you to the Fire while Allah invites you to Paradise and forgiveness by His grace. He makes His revelations clear to the people so perhaps they will be mindful.”
Where does Ratna Pathak Shah find herself in this verse of Quran? Or will Nasiruddin Shah come forward in public to disown this verse of Quran to establish his liberal and rational credentials? My dear Ratna Pathak Shah, it is very easy to hit at Hindus. Try some semblance of this on your beloved community and you will know what is what.
Does Ratna Pathak Shah know that in Islamic tradition, Muhammad was sent as a prophet to both human and Jinn communities. The word Jinn has come 29 times in Quran. In Islamic Arab tradition, Jinn is a magical spirit who may appear in the form of a human or an animal and can take control of a person. As per Ratna Pathak Shah, how Jinn is rational (antonym of ‘superstitious’) in the core scripture of Islam? Will her husband dare to publicly deny Jinn? No.
The Hindu women who marry Muslims, try to be more-Muslims and talk nonsense in the process. Islam is a totally different ball game. It is no Dharma, neither it is any religion. It is a misogynic, superstition-based and orthodox politico-social cult with hatred and violence towards females and everything non-Muslim and un-Islamic. Wake up Ratna Pathak Shah and start talking sense. Today’s India is exposing the hypocrisy of Islam in the country and this is causing problem for you.
