1. Sara Ali Khan started receiving hateful and abusive comments from Muslims for going against the teachings of Islam and performing a ‘shirk’. Shirk in Islam is the sin of idolatry or polytheism. Idol worship is strictly forbidden as per Islam. Others asked whether she really follows Islam. She was even asked to change her name.

2. An individual named Sitara says that the one who does not abide by her own faith, then which faith does she follow.

3. One Instagram user Syed Shifa called her “Jahannami Aurat” (One who belongs in hell).

4. Alman Ansari says that Sara was a ‘kafir’ non-Muslim, Muslim name did not suit her.

5. Fahad says, no one is worthy of being worshipped, except Allah. Idol worship is forbidden and will remain so.

Not a single Muslim is praising Sara Ali Khan – Thought of a Hindu worth pondering

Another Shivam Mishra has said that Muslims do not consider all Muslims alike hence no Muslim has praised Sara Ali Khan. They consider non-Muslims ‘Kafir’; but nothing can be compared with secularism. No one can educate them (Muslims).

Editorial viewpoint

Realise, Muslims such as poet Javed Akhtar and actress Shabana Azmi promoting secularism keep silent over such issues.
