new Delhi. In view of the Corona epidemic across the country, no procession will be carried out at Moharram nor will drums be played on the streets. The religious leaders and administration have also appealed to the people to celebrate the Muharram festival at home by following the guidelines of Corona.
Due to the corona, Moharram, Eid, Bakrid, Rakshabandhan, Ganesh Chaturthi, Janmashtami Gurugovind Jayanti were restrictions on all the festivals, all the festivals also showed a change in customs. At the same time, traditions of several hundred years were also broken in festivals due to the Corona period. Many big maulanas have spoken on this issue.
The head of the All India Imam Organization, Imam Omar Ahmad Ilyasi, said, “The decision taken by the government is taken in view of the corona. It is a compulsion. When the government takes a decision, it does not take care of a particular religion. Take care of all Is taken while doing. ”
He said that tradition is broken on Janmashtami too. The ISKCON temple was closed on Janmashtami. Pooja could not take place due to the closure of the temple. Even in the month of Ramadan, the tradition was broken, Hindustan, did the mosques of such a tradition broken in the whole world, prayers could not be done.
Ilayasi said that temples on Navaratri were likewise closed. Churches were never closed among Christians, but they broke a tradition. The gurudwaras remained open for 24 hours, but they were also closed in this epidemic. The rituals of festivals celebrated in all religions changed, the tradition of all festivals was broken.
He said, “Where there is helplessness, when the epidemic spreads, the government takes a decision after looking at everyone. Only then will we save everything. Look at the traditions or our lives? It is necessary to save one’s life first. Government’s decisions. Not to resist, but to cooperate. ”
Renaud Islamic Scholar and Social Reformer Dr. Syed Kalbe Rashed Rizvi told IANS, “When Tajiya comes out, he will come out with the crowd and Corona disease is breaking daily records. Do not let the crowd get into such a person, One who is already struggling with a disease. Who will be responsible for his death? It should be seen from this perspective. The tradition which has been broken in 700 800 years should not be viewed from this perspective, because the Tajiya, Azadari and procession are our Resides in the heart. ”
He said that Azadari is a force that will save mankind, not such Ajadari, which spreads this disease in the world.
Rizvi said that things should be digitized, the crowd should not get out, irrespective of their religion. Has there been a crowd so far that has attended 10,000 people? Has anyone been allowed? You cannot leave in this epidemic.
He said, “My request to the Government of India is that if the Muslim or Hindu of the village wants to burial in the Karbala of his village with a feet crown on his head, the police should arrange it. He should not use the poles. Let work, the departure of one or two men will not violate your section 144. ”
Rizvi said that Tajiya is not a ritual, not a festival and Eid. Tazia has nothing to do with happiness. When 20 people are allowed to go to the dead, this is also a condolence, you should take such a step so that Section 144 remains.
In Lucknow, Maulana Kalbe Jawad had expressed displeasure at the government banning the procession of mourning, Majlis and Tajis during the month of Muharram and sat on a dharna at Imambara, Lucknow. At the same time, now the Yogi government has given permission to keep refreshments in the houses, while Majlis will also be organized with social distancing.
Maulana Khalid Rashid Firangi Mahli, chairman of the Islamic Center of India, said, “Ever since the world was formed, it is the first time since the prayers were not held in Ramadan and on Eid. Is that a big tradition or a big procession?”
He said, “Corona disease is not under anyone’s control, anywhere in the world, Eid Bakrid, Rakshabandhan Ganesh Chaturthi, Gurugovind Jayanti are banned on all the festivals. Corona’s protocol should be taken care of. Muslims have more than Ramadan and Eid. So nothing. So, even on this occasion, do it in your homes or do a digital program. ”
However, when asked Firangi Mahali that the recent sit-in demonstration was right? In response to this question, Maulana Mahali said, “That step was absolutely wrong. When we did not perform any sit-in for Namaz. Wherever the crowd will gather, there will be less disease or less? Those who are less educated, they should This is also the case. It is wrong to do any kind of public program. “
