An open but humble request to AIMIM Supremo Janab Asaduddin Owaisi Sahab

Assalamualaikum

Sir, Congratulations on the engagement of your daughter about which we came to know through media.

Sir, Since your speeches against the lavish wedding ceremonies have won the hearts of millions, people are eagerly looking at you to set the example. Since I too am an ardent fan of your speeches against the extravagance, I tend to post them with pride on my Facebook. You often have mentioned in your speeches, “jao, Padho Shahzadi-e-Jannat ki Shaadi kaese hui thi”.

 How come you neglected the facts about the engagement of “Shahzadi-e-Jannat”? Was there any engagement ceremony  of the Prophet [SAWS], or any of His daughters’ or any of his companions’? No, not at all. This purely is a ceremony imported from other cultures. A Shahzada of Nawab Shah Alam Khan’s family should not have influenced you to forget about the Shahzadi-e-Jannat’s simple wedding which had no engagements, no Dowries and no Receptions and dinners. The articles given by the Prophet [SAWS]  that people ridicule  by saying “Jahez-e-Fatimi”, were not dowry in fact it was a gift to Ali [RZ] which was bought from his “MEHR” itself.

Sir, let us all forget about what has happened already. A few Sahaba were addicted to wine too even after embracing Islam. But because of the way that they repented and gave up on their habits, Allah not only pardoned their sins but also turned their sins in to virtues.So, let us forget about the videos and photos of the engagement ceremony which have become viral on the social media.

Sir, if you compensate this blunder by holding the Nikah and RUCKHSATI ceremony of your daughters exactly according to the ways of ‘Shahzadi-e-Jannat’, you will engrave your name in the hearts and your example will be followed not only by the MIM workers who are wasting lakhs of Rupee on the weddings mercilessly, but also it will influence millions of others all over India who love you like an idol. . They will proudly say they follow a leader who is man of act, not the man solely of words.

Sir, If you happen to pass by a big tower or a factory or an elegant office building, a hotel, Hi-Tech city, showrooms and the banks etc. you will find no  Muslim CEOs or Managing Directors except a few but, unfortunately, you will surely find a herd of Muslim peons, watchmen, drivers and clerks.

I am sure you too feel ashamed just like everyone else, noticing the condition of a community who once ruled over 1000 years in this country. The Muslims have eventually become worse than anyone both morally and financially. The excuses given might be many but one of the basic reasons is that their hard earned money is being wasted for holding wedding ceremonies. “SIMPLE MARRIAGE” was one of the most powerful tools given by our beloved Prophet [SAWS], but we have rusted this weapon lately and have decided to go for the weddings inspired by Ramchanderji and Seeta ji.

Therefore, it is being felt as if it is now not possible to draw this community out of poverty. This is a Fitnah. The Fitnah is that one rich person spends lavishly and everyone else start to imitate him casually. Those who don’t have money, chose sources like begging, theft, corruption or even selling out their assets. The bride’s brothers helplessly watch their sisters take away everything and the brothers tend to have nothing left and remain choice-less except maybe  becoming auto drivers or something. As a result, whole community is full of Auto, taxi drivers and similar occupations solely.

Sir, You once delineated a story of your close friend in your speech who had so many sisters and daughters ready for marriage but he had no money. (Please listen the story once again in the that  video). He is not the one only. There are thousands of such helpless people. When the engagements parties like your daughter’s or wedding parties like Mr. Balala’s daughter’s get prestigious status in the society, People like your friend can do nothing but sell out themselves. This too is an example of Fitna.

Sir, On behalf of millions of your fans, I request you to kindly do not let us down in the wedding of your daughters. May be, some Maulvies will provide you a CHOR DARWAZA by allowing a grand ceremony of the wedding day. They will provide a JAWAAZ that since you are a leader, you have attended countless weddings of public and other leaders, there is nothing wrong if you invite them in return of their invitations. Sir, this provision may be right for an ordinary person but not for a leader like you.

You are the true lover and follower of Mohammed SAWS. Just imagine the situation of Medina how sensitive it was when the Shahzadi-e-Jannat was getting married. The Prophet should have invited the ANSAAR who had given shelter to Muslims and made the Prophet SAWS a ruler. Or the Prophet SAWS should have invited his own Quraish leaders, or opposition’s Mushrik & Jews leaders, Or, at least, those who had migrated with him to Medina leaving behind everything. But the Prophet SAWS did not invite anyone just not because he did not have money. He avoided strictly just because gathering hundreds of people and spending thriftlessly is not legitimate in Islam.

Now, Sir, it is in your and Nawab Shah Alam Khan’s family’s hand to go for the Prophet SAWS’ way or against his way. The Prophet SAWS has already defined BEST NIKAH as the one which is cheapest and simplest means Nikah in mosque, send off from home and same day or next day a simple walima at the resident of groom for only close relatives and friends. Opposite to the BEST NIKAH is  WORST NIKAH in which hundreds and thousands of guests are gathered on several dishes. Instead of direct Walima party, the parents of bride are compelled to give dinner on wedding day. This makes the Nikah a worst Nikah as this is against the principle of the Prophet SAWS.

Extremely sorry if I am hurting you.

yours faithfully,

Aleem Khan Falaki, hyderabad
