Fatwa issued against 'Surya Namaskar'

[sreekimpact]

Bhopal: As Madhya Pradesh government tries to create a world record on Thursday with thousands of students performing the yogic 'Surya Namaskar' exercise, Muslim leaders have equated it with idol worship and issued a fatwa against it.
Leaders of the minority community have termed the move as un-Islamic and equated it with idol-worship, which is prohibited in Islam.
They also issued a fatwa in this regard on Tuesday which was also ratified by the Shahar Qazi, Sayyed Mushtaq Ali Nadvi.

The school education department has made elaborate arrangements to ensure maximum participation in the Surya Namaskar exercise so that a world record can be created by registering the feat in the Guinness Book of records, officials said.
Directives have been issued to all the government and government-aided schools to ensure maximum participation in the exercise so that it can become a world record.
Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has stated that the participation in the exercise is not compulsory.
State School Education Minister, Archana Chitnis said, "Surya Namaskar is a Yogic exercise aimed at improving one's health and those not interested in taking part in it have an option to stay away from it. Sun is neither saffron nor green."
However, Muslim leaders have termed the move as an attempt to saffronise the education system.

I have this doubt from many years and I want somebody to kindly clear this. It is against Islamic principles to worship idols of any form. Then why do muslims pray kaaba in macca? Kaaba also has a form rite...then dosent it accont to worship an idol?

guys why i mean why open such a stupid thread

Very good for the religious leaders to defend Islam. The recent decision to ban beef consumption shows - that Hindu's are trying to beat down Islam.

WELL i didnt knew any thing about it , so just googled

Surya Namaskara (pronounced SOOR-yah nah-mahs-KAHrah,[2] /su:rjə nəməska:rə/) (Sanskrit: सूर्य नमस्कार; IAST: Sūrya namaskāra), known in English as Sun Salutation (lit. "salute to the sun"), is a common sequence of Hatha yoga asanas. Its origins lie in a worship of Surya, the Hindu solar deity. This sequence of movements and poses can be practised on varying levels of awareness, ranging from that of physical exercise in various styles, to a complete sadhana which incorporates asana, pranayama, mantra and chakra meditation.

This is a religious practice , so Muslims should specifically boycott this activity if its being enforced without their will.

Lie of Indian secularism is exposed so many times and its clear like daylight. IMO in secular country no religious practices should be enforced.

surya namaskar is not compulsory , it never was . There was no need of a fatwa .

 

[Awesome]

Its sun worship - the Muslims who don't do it, would be in the right.
