Muslim band owners asked not to use Hindu deities' names in UP's Moradabad
LUCKNOW: After state government's move to push Muslim restaurateurs to put their names on their establishments in order to stop them from using Hindu names, a new controversy has erupted, especially in western UP, over the wedding bands run by Muslims but named after Hindu Gods and Goddesses in Moradabad district. As per sources, Shaby Sharma, a lawyer, registered a complaint on the chief minister's portal on July 9 claiming that around 15 to 20 Muslim band operators in the district were running their businesses under the names of Hindu deities. Taking note of the complaint, the district police swung into action and Moradabad SP (City) Kumar Ranvijay Singh summoned several band operators, most of them Muslims, and instructed them to not name their bands after Hindu deities. The band owners agreed, said the police sources. According to police, the complainant argued that this practice was hurting religious sentiments. "On Tuesday, they were summoned and directed to remove such names. All of them agreed to comply," Singh said. However, there is nothing illegal in a Muslim band owner naming his band after a Hindu God.

Violence against minorities in Pakistan: Conversions, blasphemy killings on rise - what human rights panel said
The Human Rights Commission of Pakistan has raised alarm over violence against minority communities in the country. HRCP on Thursday released its latest report, Streets of Fear: Freedom of Religion or Belief in 2024/25, documenting violations of freedom of religion or belief (FORB) between 1 July 2024 and 30 June 2025. The report painted a picture as grim as in previous years, recording targeted killings, forced conversions, mob lynchings, hate speech, desecration of places of worship and extrajudicial killings. It also warned that religious freedom in Pakistan is facing an unprecedented threat. The HRCP highlighted several cases where individuals were killed over blasphemy accusations, describing the trend as deeply troubling in a country that has already witnessed the assassination of a provincial governor by his own security guard. Forced conversions The HRCP report noted that the pattern of minor non-Muslim girls disappearing and later resurfacing after allegedly converting to Islam and marrying Muslim men persisted in 2024/25. Hindus in Sindh, who form 8.8% of the population, and Christians in Punjab (1.9%), have raised repeated concerns. A fact-finding study found that forced conversions and coerced marriages remain most prevalent among Scheduled Caste Hindus due to poverty and limited social mobility. The report highlighted the role of cleric-politician Mian Abdul Haq, or Mian Mithu, accused of using his influence to facilitate conversions at his seminary in Ghotki. He was sanctioned by the UK in 2022. The report also cited cases where police were seen siding with abductors, often claiming it would be 'haram' to return a girl after conversion. In July 2024, Faisalabad police recovered Christian minor Laiba Suhail, abducted in February and forcibly converted before being married off illegally. Another girl, Alina, is still missing. In January 2025, a Mirpurkhas court heard a plea from a couple accused of forcing an underage Hindu girl to convert and marry. Other cases were reported across provinces: in April 2025, 14-year-old a Hindu girl, Chahat disappeared in Quetta and later claimed in a video to have converted, though her parents produced documents proving she was underage. In May, Hindu Panchayats in Ghotki and Rohri protested the disappearance of a Meghwar teenager in Rohri, fearing abduction for forced conversion. In June, civil society groups and Hindu Panchayats in Larkana expressed concern over three minor girls and a teenage boy from Shahdadpur allegedly being forced to convert. The HRCP stressed that such cases continue to deepen insecurity among religious minorities and called for protective measures to safeguard vulnerable children and their families. Targeting Ahmadiyya community The report listed multiple killings of Ahmadis: dentist Zakaur Rahman in Lalamusa (July 2024), Tayyab Ahmad in Rawalpindi (December 2024), Amir Hasan in Naukot (December 2024), Laeeq Cheema lynched in Karachi (April 2025), Muhammad Asif in Kasur (April 2025), and senior doctor Mahmood Sheikh in Sargodha (May 2025). The UN warned, 'We are alarmed by ongoing reports of violence and discrimination against the Ahmadiyya community in Pakistan.' 'According to the data provided by the Ahmadiyya community, 29 Ahmadi places of worship were attacked and damaged during the review period,' the report said. It further added that in 26 cases, the demolition was carried out by law enforcement agencies. 'These incidents occurred in Okara, Khanewal, Gujranwala, Sialkot, Vehari, Sheikhupura, Gujrat, and Sargodha, among other locations Back in January, a historic Sialkot site linked to Pakistan's first foreign minister Zafarullah Khan was 'reduced to rubble'. Blasphemy accusations The report said that the blasphemy law has been often misused to settle personal scores or seek financial gain in Pakistan, where, a 'mere accusation of blasphemy can be a death sentence.' In September, last year, two men accused of blasphemy were killed while in police custody less than a week apart. One was inexplicably shot and killed in Mirpurkhas during an alleged police encounter, and the other was killed by a police constable inside a police station in Quetta. On 12 September 2024, constable Saad Khan Sarhadi shot dead Abdul Ali, a blasphemy suspect, inside Quetta's Cantonment Police Station after mobs from religious parties gathered outside demanding his custody. It marked the first such incident in the city where a serving officer killed a suspect in custody. Days later, Ali's family pardoned Sarhadi, while lawyers and a JUI-F senator pledged legal support for him. Later, on 17 September 2024, Shahnawaz Kunbhar, a civil hospital employee from Umerkot, fled to Karachi after a cleric accused him of posting blasphemous content. He denied the charge in a video message before being arrested by police, who assured his family of protection. Two days later, police claimed he was killed in an encounter, with officers celebrated as heroes. His family was prevented from burying him by armed mobs, and the body was desecrated. Following outrage from rights groups, a Sindh police inquiry declared the encounter 'fake.' The report also showed that the mainstream media largely ignored issues of religious freedom under the period covered. Even the Islamabad High Court's hearings into the 'blasphemy business group,' affecting nearly 400 households and livestreamed for four months, drew little coverage. Likewise, cases of coerced marriages, forced conversions and violence against minorities rarely made headlines. A worrying trend has emerged in Pakistan, where ultra-right-wing groups are exerting growing pressure on the judiciary and elected officials through propaganda and intimidation, it added.

This Country Could Jail Or Fine You For Not Offering Namaz
Last Updated: Under Sharia law, first-time offenders can face up to two years in prison, a 3,000-ringgit fine, or both. Previously, missing three Fridays meant up to six months jail or a fine In many Muslim countries, strict regulations govern the offering of Namaaz (prayers). Although some nations have recently relaxed these rules, Malaysia remains stringent, particularly in the state of Terengganu. Starting this week, Terengganu threatens to impose a jail sentence of up to two years and a fine on those who fail to attend Friday prayers at the mosque without a valid reason. Under Sharia law, first-time offenders face up to two years in prison and a fine of 3,000 ringgit (approximately 61,000 rupees), or both. Previously, those who missed three consecutive Friday prayers could be jailed for up to six months or fined 1,000 ringgit (around 20,000 rupees). Religious Patrol Team To Report Absentees Religious patrol teams will monitor attendance, and mosque signboards will remind worshippers of the rules. The public and patrol teams will assist in enforcing these regulations, and the Department of Islamic Affairs of Terengganu will issue reports accordingly. Every Malaysian state can legislate its own religious laws. This particular law was first implemented in Terengganu in 2001 and was amended in 2016 to introduce harsher penalties for offences such as disrespecting Ramadan and public harassment of women. Malaysia operates a dual legal system where Islam is the official religion but coexists with civil law. Sharia courts have jurisdiction over personal and family matters for Muslims, who make up about two-thirds of the country's 34 million population. The country also has significant Chinese and Indian minorities. The party enforcing this rule in Terengganu is the largest in Malaysia's Parliament and governs four of the country's 13 states. It has long advocated for stringent religious punishments. Global Practices And Variations In many Muslim-majority countries, Namaaz is considered a religious duty, but legal punishments for missing prayers are rare. Relaxation In Saudi Arabia In Saudi Arabia, the religious police, Mutawa, historically closed shops, offices, and markets at prayer times, directing people to mosques. Since 2016, their powers have been reduced, although they can still stop or fine individuals for not praying in public spaces. Job Risks In Iran In Iran, prayer is legally mandatory, especially in government offices, schools, and the military. Continuous neglect of prayer can result in job termination and, in some cases, fines or detention. Compulsory In Afghanistan Under the Taliban government, there is direct pressure on those who skip Namaaz. Shopkeepers and passers-by must attend mosque prayers, and the Taliban's religious police can arrest and punish violators, potentially with beatings, detention, or fines. Social Pressure In Qatar In Qatar and some Gulf countries, shops close during prayer times, but personal neglect of prayer does not lead to direct imprisonment. However, there is significant social pressure to comply. Other Countries' Practices In Mauritania and Somalia, not praying can be a crime under Islamic law, but enforcement is lax in everyday life. Countries With High Namaaz Participation Kazakhstan: Once part of the Soviet Union, where religion was banned, Kazakhstan remains largely secular today. Albania: During communist rule, religion was completely banned. The country continues to maintain a very secular society. Turkey: Secularism is strong, especially in major cities like Istanbul and Ankara and among the middle class, though religious practices remain common in rural areas. Bosnia and Herzegovina: The country also has a notable secular tradition. According to Pew Research, in countries such as Kazakhstan, only 40–50% of people consider religion 'very important" in their lives. view comments First Published: August 21, 2025, 18:12 IST News world This Country Could Jail Or Fine You For Not Offering Namaz Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
