00:00Cricket is seen as a religion in our country, but now a religious war has broken out in the country for the religion of a cricketer.
00:12We are talking about Mohammad Shami.
00:15In the semifinal match between India and Australia, during fielding, Mohammad Shami was seen drinking an energy drink.
00:23That picture of Shami went viral among religious clerics.
00:28And they started a riot during Ramadan to prevent Shami from fasting.
00:34Maulana Shahabuddin Bareilvi even called Shami a criminal of Shariah.
00:40Islam has declared fasting obligatory.
00:43And it is obligatory for a wise woman to fast on all men.
00:51And if a person does not fast on purpose, he is a criminal.
00:57Similarly, Mohammad Shami did not fast on purpose.
01:02But fasting is obligatory for him.
01:05Mohammad Shami committed a grave sin by not fasting.
01:09In the eyes of Shariah, he is a criminal.
01:12Shariah is standing in the way.
01:14He should never do this.
01:17As a religious scholar, I give them guidance and advice.
01:22They should strictly follow the duties of Islam.
01:30They should play cricket.
01:33They should do all the work.
01:35But the responsibility that Allah has given to man,
01:39and the Shariah that Islam has implemented,
01:42that responsibility is also on man.
01:45Mohammad Shami should understand all these things.
01:49After Maulana Shahabuddin Bareilvi's controversial statement,
01:53this issue began to trend on social media.
01:57On the one hand, some people targeted Shami for not fasting.
02:01On the other hand, a large number of people supported Shami
02:05and started praising his passion for giving priority to the country before religion.
02:11On Maulana's statement, Shami's cousin also replied to him.
02:15What did he say?
02:17You should listen to that too.
02:19A person can say anything.
02:21No Muslim can become a criminal of Islam.
02:24Even a non-Muslim, when he does some magic,
02:27he is not a criminal of Islam.
02:29He cannot become a criminal of Islam.
02:31You can say that a criminal of Islam becomes a criminal of Islam.
02:34This is not right.
02:35Fasting is obligatory for every Muslim.
02:37Just as Salah is obligatory for every Muslim,
02:39fasting is obligatory for every Muslim.
02:41And when a person is on a journey,
02:43there are many advantages of travelling.
02:45Imam Sahib should read some books on Islam.
02:47In which it is clearly written that
02:49when a person is on a journey,
02:51and supports someone,
02:53then he can leave fasting.
02:55And he can fast later.
02:57It is not that if you leave it, then leave it.
02:59He can fast later.
03:01Imam Sahib should not do this for TRP.
03:03And for this, people should be aware
03:05that how fasting is obligatory for a person.
03:07Some Maulana's opinions on Shami's fasting controversy
03:09were also seen to be different.
03:11Saharanpur's Jamiat Dawatul Muslimin's
03:13protector and famous Deobandi Ulema,
03:15Maulana Kari Ishaq Gora said that
03:17if someone's helplessness
03:19comes in the sphere of Shariah,
03:21and that person needs to break the fast,
03:23then Islam allows it.
03:31We should understand that
03:33the fasts of Ramadanul Mubarak
03:35are obligatory
03:37for all Muslims.
03:39If someone
03:41deliberately leaves it,
03:43then he is a sinner.
03:45As far as
03:47Muhammad Shami, the Indian cricketer,
03:49is concerned,
03:51he is seen drinking juice on the ground.
03:53And the people who are trolling him
03:55are saying that he has
03:57committed a very big punishment,
03:59a very big sin.
04:01So I want to tell them
04:03that everyone has
04:05their own helplessness.
04:07If that helplessness
04:09comes in the sphere of Shariah,
04:11and that person needs to break the fast,
04:13then Islam allows it.
04:17And if someone
04:19deviates from the sphere of Shariah
04:21and breaks the fast,
04:23then he is a sinner.
04:25Still, this is a matter
04:27between Muhammad Shami and Allah.
04:29So no one needs to be a judge
04:31that he has committed a very big sin.
04:35So I want to tell
04:37the people who are trolling him
04:39that you should not be a judge.
04:41This is a matter between
04:43Muhammad Shami and Allah.
04:45Allah will give all the punishment and reward.
04:47We do not need to speak on this.
04:51Although the opinions of the Mullahs are different,
04:53the BJP's stand
04:55in this matter is absolutely clear.
04:57The party leaders
04:59are targeting the Islamic extremism.
05:03We are against this extremism.
05:05We are against this extremism.
05:07This is not in our Hindu religion.
05:11We repeatedly say that
05:13whatever is written in Islam,
05:15either you accept Islam
05:17or we will convert you to Islam
05:19or we will kill you.
05:21Today, Muhammad Shami is experiencing this.
05:23That is why we praise our Hindu religion
05:25because in our Hindu religion
05:27we do not have this kind of
05:29discrimination.
05:31Whatever religion it is,
05:33what does it ask from you?
05:35As far as I know,
05:37the Qur'an also says
05:39that the land from which you come,
05:41the land from which your food comes,
05:43your faith should
05:45first come
05:47from that land,
05:49from that country.
05:51Today,
05:53what has Muhammad Shami done?
05:55As a player,
05:57it is his biggest duty
05:59to win the country.
06:01Muhammad Shami had three wickets
06:03against Australia in the semi-final
06:05and on 9th March,
06:07the final match will be played
06:09between India and New Zealand.
06:11Indian cricketers want
06:13Muhammad Shami
06:15to put an end to this controversy
06:17and play an important role
06:19in making India win.
