Hypocrisy of a Superlative Degree. A Tragic Story....A Valuable Lesson

Hypocrisy of a Superlative Degree. A Tragic Story....A Valuable Lesson

In 1999, during my early days in IRF, one evening a middle aged man came to visit us. He had a strange story. He was a very rich man who constantly travelled across Europe for most part of the year. Twenty years ago he had married a Christian lady from whom he had two beautiful daughters. All these years he thought that his wife has reverted to Islam. But it was not so. In his abscence she used to visit the local Jehowa witness church in Khar Mumbai. Her daughters too followed her

  One day a delegation of Missionaries came to visit him to invite him to Christianity. The man was shocked to know that his wife and daughters were about to be Baptised. So he fixed up an appointment with the Missionaries at his home and invited us to have a dialogue with them.

We reached the place, it was a large flat. There were Christian missionaries in one corner and quite surprisingly two bearded men appearing like moulana, on an adjacent sofa. I was in my cradle as far as the interfaith dialogues were concerned. So I took a place in the corner to see the discussion and learn from the two bearded men and my senior daees on one side and the missionaries on the other. The discussion began with the introduction of each of us. Then the host announced " these are my daughters and my wife sitting here to see and know which is a correct religion between Islam and Christianity"

 The discussion began and as it rolled further but to my surprise the missionaries withdrew out silently and the two moulanas,whom I was looking upto, started defending Christianity, with the help of Quranic verses. It was unbelievable. One of their dialogue pierced in my heart when one of us asked them "Are you two Muslims or Christians ?" They replied " We are Believers , Momins" They were referring to Surah Imran verse 110 where Allah says : Had the Ahle Kitab believed it would have been better for them, AMONG THEM ARE BELIEVERS ...

  The cards were played and the game was opened. They were payed to allure innocent Muslims into Christianity. Hypocrisy of a superlative degree. So now we had two fronts. One to prove that Christinaity is not truth nor is the Bible the word of God and defend the Qur'an as well. The so called moulanas had done a good homework. They were proving Christianity's authenticity from the Qur'an. "Must be paid highly " one of us quipped later while returning.

  Suddenly the discussion ended with the announcement by the missionaries " Look you Muslims are fighting among yourselves regarding Christianity. " He wanted to convinced the girls that there is a difference of opinion amongs the Muslims regarding Christinaity !!! It was a stunning performance by the two munafiqs of our times. WE did not loose the debate because my senior dae'es , though were not as big debators like Dr Zakir, but did a very good job, by pointing umpteen flaws in the bible and giving proper clarificatins about Qur'an.

  Later we never met the poor father but we came to know that the lady and her daughters went to Christianity and the man left them.Later on we came to know both the bearded men that they were on the paying list of the Bible classes who gave them 100 $US i.e. 5000 Indian Rupees per month to allure Muslim youngsters to attend Bible classes. Both of them claimed to be graduates from Madrsas.

  Do you know why I mentioned this story ? Be aware of missionaries, they come in all forms to loot your akehra and pluck out your hapiness. They are around us in the form of afairs, boyfriends, girlfriends, glossy magazines, polite co travellers....
