Report from "Seraj Akram"
What is important about this person is he is a well educated person in
Hindu Dharma/Vedas. He attained the status of "Acharya", The highest
degree in the teaching of Hindu Vedas / dharma. There is no other
degree above it. In the speech he mentioned that after that he could
become one of the head of the 4 peets (Like kanchi sankaracharya) . At
the age of 15 he as appointed as head priest of Birla group of temples
and also president of All India Brahmin's Association.
As far as the political influence of his family is
concerned, his grand father is the current chief minister of
Uttaranchal , N.D. Tiwari. His mother Shri Kamla Devi has served as
education minister of Uttar Pradesh for over 9 years.
In the event he spoke in great detail about his life and his journey
towards Islam. The full video is available at http://www.urduaudi o.com
(language Hindi). What turned him toward Islam, Because of which he
lost so many things in this world. (He told in the meeting that if he
goes for a marriage as a priest, his fees will be around 51/- lakhs,
yes 51 lakhs., such was his level among Hindus.) Now he is living the
life of an ordinary Muslim. But nonetheless he has taken up the mission
of spreading Islam. Currently he is President, Al Hidayah, Hyderabad.
What initiated his journey to the truth?
It is nothing but a strict
observation of prayer by a fellow Muslim student at the school. (Ahmed
Pandit used to attend regular school for a brief time to give the board
exams). The school in which he was studying was a very strict one with
rules. If anybody comes late for example for 5 minutes he will receive
5 beats. The fellow Muslim student called Imran used to be late for
about 20 minutes in the afternoon and used to receive 20 beats daily.
When Ahmed Pandit enquired the teachers about this they told him that "
He is a Muslim, he goes to prayer and always comes late, He will never
improve. Taking pity on him Ahmed pundit asked him "why don't you pray
to your God after returning from School or why don't you do that early
at least.
Imran replied "Excuse me Panditji, You are controlling your God, you
keep him at house, office etc. and offer pooja at your convenient. For
us we are controlled by God, if I don't offer prayer at the established
time, I will be punished in the next world. The punishment, of this
world is nothing for me compared to the punishment of the next world.
Ahmed Pandit said that this set a spark on him, which ultimately led him to Islam.
He said on one occasion he visited Imran's house, there he saw Imran's
father praying. (Imran's father was not a common man. He was chief
justice of Bhopal . Ahmed Pandit said that despite his position where
he can easily amass his wealth by bribery, that man led a simple life,
staying in an ordinary one bedroom flat. He was also conducting
Dars-E-Quran to his collegues, advocates and other professionals at his
home).
The conversation between them went on like this. Just keep in your mind
that Ahmed Pandit was admitted to the Hindu university at the age of 4
and he was not much exposed to the outside world, hence he knew nothing
about Islam.
Ahmed Pandit: " Uncle if you don't mind can I ask one question?"
Imran's father: " Go ahead son."
Ahmed Pandit: "What type of yoga you were doing?"
Imran's father: "I was not doing any yoga, I was praying to God."
Ahmed Pandit: " Don't make fun of me uncle, if you are praying to God,
where is the God, there is nothing in front of you, it is just the
wall. We used to pray in front of God, who is colorful and well
decorated"
At this point Imran's father said nothing he asked Ahmed Pandit, "do
you know Hindi well?", Ahmed Pandit replied that he is proficient in
Hindi and Sanskrit. Imran's father went inside his house and returned
with a copy of Quran with Hindi translation. He handed it over to Ahmed
Pandit and told him to go through it.
After the exams are over, Ahmed Pandit returned to his "Gurukul" and he
said there is a private area which are only reserved for the student
there. No one can enter there without permission. There he took his
time and went through Quran.
He said While going through Quran many bells rang within him.
He came across many words which were exactly matching the Vedas he
learned, specially the word "Mohamed, Ahamed". (He said that while
teaching the Vedas his teachers said that Ahamed in the Veda refer to
Krishna , a clear lie...)
He said the words of Imran "The punishment of this world is nothing in
front of the punishment of the next world" keep on repeating in his
mind. He decided to escape from the Gurukul and become a Muslim, which
he ultimately did.
He talked in length the details of his becoming Muslim and the turmoil
he underwent. Giving further details here will make this mail more
lengthy. Full details are available in the audio and video format (in
Hindi) at http://www.urduaudio.com. If anybody wants more from me (if
they don't understand Hindi) ("Seraj Akram"
Remember he was in such a
position where every VIPs and VVIPs will visit him to get his blessing.
He bared it all for the sake of Islam. Now he is in a mission of
inviting Hindu brothers towards Islam.
Pray to Allah in this Ramadan to give him success in his mission and
make his life easy in this world and to grand him high position in the
Paradise .
Coincidently this event was held on 20th of Ramadan and he told that he
became Muslim on the same day (20th of Ramadan) in Mumbai. Also let us
try to invite others to Islam not only by our saying but also by our
doing, We have a good example in Imran and his father.
