How a Madrasa student discovered shared legacy of Ram at Ayodhya

Ghulam Rasool Dehlvi On this Ram Navami, reclaiming Ayodhya as a shared civilisational space may be the most meaningful tribute to Maryada Prushottam Shri Ram! As the country celebrated Ram Navami, the birth of Shri Ram invites reflection not only within Hindu tradition but also across the wider civilisational landscape of India. In an age where identities are often narrowed and histories selectively remembered, Ayodhya offers an oppo...

Bombing Kabul hospital exposes moral failure of Pakistan

Ghulam Rasool Dehlvi Pakistan striking a hospital in Kabul during the Ramadan—a month devoted to self-restraint, compassion and moral accountability—is a moral rupture and not just a tragedy. In a time when violence is to be restrained and compassion elevated, the killing of innocent civilians in a place of healing stands in stark contradiction to the very spirit of Islam. The reported Pakistani airstrike on a Kabul hospital ha...

Why Iran resonates in the Indian subcontinent

Ghulam Rasool Dehlvi During the crisis involving Iran, several Indian Muslim scholars, peace activists, and religious leaders expressed solidarity with the country. Delegations representing diverse Islamic traditions—including Sunni, Shia, Sufi, Deobandi, and Ahl-e-Hadith circles—visited the Iranian embassy in New Delhi to convey condolences and express sympathy with the Iranian leadership. At first glance, such gestures mi...

Indian Muslims must recall Imam Abu Hanifa’s theology of restraint

Ghulam Rasool Dehlvi At the Festival of Holi, colours are meant to dissolve social boundaries. Yet in Delhi’s Uttam Nagar, a trivial incident turned into a tragedy that shocked the nation. A dispute began with a child accidentally splashing colour on a passing woman, leading to a quarrel between two neighbouring families, which led to the lynching of a 26-year-old man named Tarun. Subsequent investigations suggested that the clas...

Holi at Dewa Sharif is celebration of human love, spiritual unity

Ghulam Rasool Dehlvi Every spring, the town of Dewa in Barabanki district, just 25 kilometres from Lucknow, comes alive with the colours of Holi. At the dargah of 19th-century Sufi saint Haji Waris Ali Shah, the festival is far more than playful colours. It is celebrated as Eid-e-Gulabi, the “Pink Eid,” a spiritual expression of love, devotion, and interfaith harmony that draws thousands of Hindus and Muslims together in ...

Reimagined Hinduism: Shashi Tharoor’s latest work rings on oneness of religions

Ghulam Rasool Dehlvi The scholars reimagining or reinterpreting Hinduism focus on redefining the age-old Vedic tradition in the 21st century. But they must acknowledge that Hinduism’s strength has historically been its ability to integrate belief with lived experience. A way of life without a spiritual foundation becomes mere culture; a religion without lived ethics becomes hollow ritual. The enduring vitality of any faith tradition ...

Indian and Iranian scholars say Quran not in conflict with science

Ghulam Rasool Dehlvi Islam does not need to rule the world to be true. It needs to illuminate conscience, cultivate virtue, and accompany human beings in their fragile moral striving. Recovering Islam’s dignity—especially in India—requires abandoning ideological captivity and reclaiming a faith confident enough to live without dominating, and deep enough to belong without excluding. Prof. Mazhar Asif, Vice Chancellor ...

Is it time for the Taliban to rebuild the Bamiyan Buddhas?

Ghulam Rasool Dehlvi More than two decades ago, the Taliban’s destruction of the ancient Bamiyan Buddhas—towering 6th-century marvels carved into Afghanistan’s sandstone cliffs. The world remembers that moment in 2001 not merely as an iconoclastic act, but as a wound against human civilisation. Today, however, the Taliban face a historic opportunity: to rebuild what was once destroyed—not only in stone, but in spiri...

Makkah Charter is a global blueprint for peace in 21st century

Ghulam Rasool Dehlvi In an era when religion is frequently weaponised to inflame political passions and polarise societies, history offers a powerful counter-narrative rooted in coexistence and mutual respect. More than 1,400 years ago, Prophet Muhammad issued the “Medina Charter”, a groundbreaking social contract that established principles of citizenship, religious freedom and inter-communal solidarity between Muslims, Jews a...

Muslims have no monopoly on Muhammad

Ghulam Rasool Dehlvi Love for the Prophet cannot be a monopoly of a group or sect. The recent “I Love Muhammad” campaign, especially in Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh, shows how spiritual devotion gets distorted when claimed as the exclusive property by a particular sect, cleric or political faction. Politicising devotion leads to violence, repression and communal backlash. When slogans of love turn into street mobilisation and co...

Pakistani Military distorting Quranic phrase Bunyan al-Marsoos: Indian scholars

Ghulam Rasool Dehlvi Prophet Muhammad’s son-in-law, Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib, the fourth Caliph of Islam according to the Sunnis and the first for the Shias, was killed by Ibn Muljim in the year 661 CE. The Kharijites, who had once supported Imam Ali but turned against him after he agreed to arbitration during the Battle of Siffin with Muawiyah, the go...

Waqf Board reforms overdue as properties lay underused, with squatters

Ghulam Rasool Dehlvi The Waqf Amendment Bill introduces 44 amendments including on on inclusion of women members and representation of Muslim communities like Shia, Sunni, Bohra, Aghakhani OBCs, and possibly Pasmanda. Why are the proposed changes important for the smooth functioning of the Waqf Board? Raising awareness towards the Waqf as an institution is long overdue; high time to admit that the Waqf which has been used arbitrarily w...

Muharram: Spiritual battles were fought over souls from Kurukshetra to Karbala

Ghulam Rasool Dehlvi For mankind, Muharram is a Marsiya - an elegy on the martyrdom of Imam Hussein Ibn Ali, grandson of Prophet Muhammad. Not just Muslims but the whole humanity cries over the tragedy of Karbala. However, more than just a marsiya and matam (mourning or commemoration), Muharram epitomizes the courage of conviction called ‘Jazba-e-Husseini’ to stand up against religious corruption, ...
