A Critical Assessment of Muhammad by the Bangladeshi Apostates: Part 1
Dr. Radhasyam Brahmachari
False Portrayal of Islam and Muhammad by Hindu Monks
The UDBODHAN, a monthly Bengali publication of the Belur-based Ramakrishna Math & Mission, a Hindu organization, ran an editorial a few month ago, titled “Jagat jurey udaar surey aanandagaan baajey” (The song of bliss, in generous tune, is ringing across the globe). At beginning of the article, editor Swami Mumukshanandaji Maharaj, a monk of the Ramakrishna Order, wrote:
“Every religion, in its real sense, is eternally generous and great. And its inherent purity, spiritualism and universal ideals are capable of establishing oneness among the scattered human race. On the other hand, when man, in the name of religion, starts to practice superstitions, meanness and narrow-mindedness, he brings divisions between man and man through dispute and quarrel and hence gets misguided. Why such things happen? According to the author, man behaves like that when he gets deviated from the principal ideals of religion.”
On Prophet Muhammad, the author wrote:
“The life of the Prophet, the originator of Islam, and the day to day conduct of the Caliphs is a clear mirror that reflects, irrespective of time, the universally acceptable ever bright and ever pure image of Islam. We have experienced the Prophet’s unlimited patience and endurance from his poverty-stricken life in an extremely unfavourable environment in Mecca. On the other hand, what we have learned from his life and deeds in Medina is an example of kindness and forgiveness, though he was then the undeclared king of the city. As a matter of fact, the personal and religious conducts of his great life has been acknowledged as his priceless teachings. And hence Islam is a religion of patience and endurance, and a religion of kindness and forgiveness – or in a nutshell, a religion of love and compassion.”
He continued,
“The eternal truth, that Islam preaches, is written in the seminal book, the holy Koran, of Islam. It (the contents of the Koran) has not given pre-eminence to any country, any nation or any particular religion. On the contrary, it has dignified honest people of any faith irrespective of country, nation and time. In the after life, only the loving and pure people have been recognized as successful people by the Creator (Allah). The reward assigned for them by the Creator is called ‘Jannah’.. And this aspect has been declared many times in a thunderous voice in the Koran”.
