Muslims help lay foundation of temple in Bihar

 

Patna, Jan 15 : Muslims have joined hands with Hindus to lay the foundation of a new temple, dedicated to the sun god, in a Bihar town.

"Like Hindus, Muslims also brought a brick from their houses to lay the foundation for the new temple," Sudama Yadav, who is associated with the construction of temple, said.

According to police officials in Kurtha, Hindus, along with Muslims from surrounding villages, presented a show of harmony when each of them donated a brick for construction of the temple.

Islam is based on purely Lord Worship alone.  Any kind of its slight deviation whether it is in the form of intention by heart or in the form of Appearance is not acceptable to The Lord, because such activity is indicative of Lord’s failure to listen to His servants’ calls and prayers, while He is perfect in everything. Does He needs a mediator to get Him listened and replied the call of His servants?
 
Islam highly supports the establishment of the temple of humanity, moral values, love & affection, sacrificing one’s life for the betterment of the humankind, regardless of cast and creed, but never supports a place where The Lord is being associated. Not to speak of the imaginary or true picture of His Prophets, Angels, etc. to be portrayed, the Lord of the World does not even want to make His imaginary picture (shaped or unshaped). Imagination is limited to “Worshiping as if His servants are seeing Him, if he cannot see him, He is seeing them”.  
 
This concept of the religion of The Lord has been thought to the mankind from the first day by the prophet (Adam) to the last day by the prophet (Mohammad). This is clearly defined in all major religious books of Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism and Islam, etc.
