A day after Acharya Lokesh Muni, in conjunction with a set of different spiritual leaders stormed off the degree at an occasion of the Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind expressing objection to its leader Maulana Arshad Madani`s “Om and Allah are the equal” assertion, the outstanding Jain monk on Monday stated he couldn’t tolerate the insult of his faith and lifestyle in the front of his eyes.
“I might instead take delivery of my martyrdom. I cannot tolerate the insult of my faith and lifestyle in the front of my eyes. So I protested and challenged the debate,” Muni tweeted.
The Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind (Arshad Madani faction) leader on Sunday stoked an issue whilst he claimed that “Om” and “Allah” have been the equal God worshipped by ‘Manu’, drawing objections from different spiritual leaders.
Speaking at the 0.33 and very last day of the thirty fourth wellknown consultation of the Jamiat on the Ramlila Maidan in Delhi, Arshad Madani stated he requested the “dharma gurus” as to who became worshipped whilst there has been no Shri Ram, Brahma or Shiva.
“Some say Manu worshipped Shiva. Very few have talked about that there has been not anything withinside the international and Manu worshipped Om. I requested who’s Om, many stated ‘it’s miles simply air, it has no form, it has no color and it’s miles everywhere, it made the sky and land’. I stated that is what we name Allah, you name Ishwar, the ones talking Persian name Khuda and people talking English name God,” Madani stated.
“This way that Manu, this is Adam, used to worship one Om, this is one Allah,” he stated. Manu is a time period determined in spiritual texts, relating to the primary guy or the progenitor of humanity.
Arshad Madani made the comments at the same time as relating to the stated assertion of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) leader Mohan Bhagwat that Hindus and Muslims of India proportion the equal ancestry, and the rivalry from positive quarters that Muslims have to make ‘ghar wapsi’ -go back to the faith in their ancestors.
Allah despatched the ultimate prophet, Mohammad, in Arabia and he gave the equal message to the Arab land which became given from India and this became now no longer a brand new message – one ‘Om’, one ‘Allah’ might be worshiped and nobody else might be worshiped besides him, Arshad Madani stated.
“Today they inform us ‘do ghar wapsi’. I say that folks who say this are illiterate. They do now no longer realize the records in their country, the records of religions,” the Jamiat leader stated.
A apparently irritated Muni, who walked off the degree, accusing Madani of digressing from speakme approximately the cohesion to spinning a tale approximately “Manu and Allah”.
“We simplest accept as true with dwelling in harmony, however a majority of these testimonies concerning Om, Allah, and Manu are all baseless. He (Madani) absolutely spoiled the surroundings of the consultation,” Muni stated.
“The testimonies he narrated, I can narrate even larger testimonies than that. I might even request him (Madani) to return back for a dialogue with me, or maybe I can come to fulfill him in Saharanpur,” the monk stated.
Leaders of various faiths are frequently invited to the programmes and periods of the Jamiat. Acharya Lokesh Muni has been a part of numerous Jamiat-organised programmes withinside the beyond as well.
After leaving the degree, Muni instructed reporters, “We consider that proper deeds create proper fortune, terrible deeds create terrible fortune. We comply with this philosophy.” He accused Madani of sowing divisions together along with his comments.
