Renowned Ulema’s & Islamic Scholars of Hyderabad city released a press note stating Surya Namaskar & Yoga Sarasvati puja & Vandematarm are un-Islamic against the basic tenants of Islam and unlawful (Prohibited) Haram. Those doing will be committing major sin (Gunahe – Kabera) world yoga day are going to be organized on 21st June 2015. Muslims are forced to perform yoga. All India Muslim Personal Law Board declared Yoga is un-Islamic. The scholar fully supported the stand of AIMPLB and stated that Yoga Surya Namaskar is totally Haram. Muslims should abstain from such exercises. The children student should be explained the prohibition and stopped from performing Yoga.
The Ulemas welcomed the statement of the Home Minister Rajnath Singh that Yoga & Surya Namaskar is not compulsory, it is optional it, it has no legal or constitutional standing.
The press note stated further that 100 crore Hindus do not perform yoga just like 99% Hindus do not take ancient Ayurvedic medicine but go for allopathy medicine. Yoga is based on Hindu religious texts and scripts and is an exercise of Acharyas, Maharishis and Pandits (Hindu Scholars and saints). It is special kind of exercise through which the Atama meets the Parmaatama.
The exercise of Yoga is unacceptable because it teaches the means by which Jevatma can be united to Parmatma which is teaching of Hinduism.
According to Islamic belief & teachings this is Kufr disbelief and transforming from basic teachings of Islam.
We are not against fitness and physical exercise but against an exercise which has basics and fundamentals in Hinduism.
We condemn all such Muslims who are doing Yoga or Surya Namaskar they should repent immediately and abstain from such acts and exercises.
Muslims should not be taken away by the propaganda of fascist and communal forces.
Yoga is no way related to education, progress and development. Unemployment is on rise, Dalit’s are still facing injustice, and the Hindu society is facing internal social conflicts and crises. At this time it is very important to focus on the progress development of the nation and the society.
This is all a part of campaign by Saffron forces to impress Muslim into their folds.
The Ulemas welcomed the statement of the Home Minister Rajnath Singh that Yoga & Surya Namaskar is not compulsory, it is optional it, it has no legal or constitutional standing.
Ulemas appealed the Muslims management’s schools and institutions to close schools on Sunday i.e. 21st June 2015 & oppose the yoga day.
Ulemas requested the Religious institutions and Jamats (Parties) to come out with their stand and declare that this type of physical exercise is Haram. So that the common man is guided properly and awareness is created the efforts and aim of anti-forces communal forces is defeated.
