Question:
Why do Muslims take the name of Emperor Akbar while calling people to pray?
Answer:
Non Muslim misunderstand that Emperor Akbar’s name is taken in Adhaan
Once, when I attended a conference in Kerala, a non-Muslim minister spoke just before my speech. He was highlighting the achievements of the Indian Muslims and their role in the progress of India. He said that amongst the Indian kings, the greatest was Emperor Akbar. No wonder the Muslims take his name five times a day, while calling people to pray. During my speech however, I clarified this misconception.
The ‘Akbar’ word of the Adhaan has nothing to do with Emperor Akbar
The word ‘Akbar’ mentioned in the Adhaan which is given to call people to pray has nothing to do with Emperor Akbar of India.The words in the Adhaan were used centuries before the birth of Emperor Akbar.
‘Akbar’ means ‘Great’
The Arabic word ‘Akbar’ means ‘great’. When we say ‘Allahu Akbar’ in the Adhaan we proclaim that ‘Allah is Great’ or ‘Allah is the Greatest’ and we call people to worship the one and only Allah who is the Greatest.

ReplyDeleteMashallah very nice comparision. They r adding new colors and designs to bindi so that they keep Hindus practicing their false believe. Hinduism is the only religion in the world big religions which stands on self made stories and self made book few centuries back. Make statue with ur hand and then put ur forehead in front of that monkey statue, snake , elephant statue. I been to India last year and was shocked watching this. It's better to put Gandhi's pic bow down to that at least he was human lol. Then these believes thread will save u or color of thread has fact is another shit. Come out of this darkhood , it's 21st century stand by facts and lights.
