The question of Sharia law is being discussed, as well as its possible implementation if the Congress Party wins the elections. Responding to Arnab Goswami of Republic World TV, on May 6, 2024, Amit Shah, the Minister of Home Affairs, said, "The country cannot be governed under Sharia law. Those days are gone. Now, the country will run based on UCC.”

Why is Amit Shah opposed to Sharia Law?

Home Minister Amit Shah said, “Since the time of the British, the Muslims of this country have been separated from Sharia and many Islamic countries have also kept away from Sharia. Even today, when there is a civil case, Muslims do not go to the ‘Qazi’ (judge according to Sharia law), but to the Court. Do they want to bring and implement Sharia law, where a thief’s hands should be cut off, a rapist should be stoned, and a traitor should be hanged at the crossroads, where no Muslim can open a savings account or take a loan.” Shah said that Shariah and Hadith should be lived. Why are Sharia and Hadith used only for four marriages and talaq?

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath stated on APRIL 23, 2024 that the Congress party intended to implement 'Sharia law' in the country and redistribute people's property. Addressing an election rally in Amroha, Adityanath questioned whether the country should be governed by the Constitution drafted by Dr. BR Ambedkar or by Sharia law. If you look at the Congress' manifesto, they say that if they form a government, we will implement Sharia law." "You tell me, will this country be run by the Constitution made by Baba Saheb Bhimrao Ambedkar or by Shariat?" he asked.

What is Sharia or Islamic Law?

Sharia, Islamic sharia, or Islamic law is the basic Islamic legal system that derived its authority from the Islamic teachings of the Quran and the Hadith. Sharia is an Arabic term that means a body of moral and religious laws consistent with Islamic scriptures that may be opposed to human rights. Sharia law is antithetical to the prevailing legal system and against individual rights. If the Muslims are able to institute Sharia in India, the modern secular democracy we have known for years will vanish from Bharath. Every aspect of life is molded, guided, and dictated as per Islamic law that was adopted in Pakistan.

Sharia deals with many topics, including crime, politics, marriage contracts, clothing, religious prescriptions, sports, amusements, and banking, as well as personal matters such as sexual intercourse, hygiene, diet, prayer, everyday etiquette, and fasting. Adherence to sharia has historically served as one of the distinguishing characteristics of the Muslim faith. In its strictest definition, sharia is considered in Islam as the infallible law of Allah, and it cannot be questioned.

Sharia is considered the law of Allah, which means it is the best to be followed globally. Consequently, Muslims who believe firmly, fanatically, and devoutly, are in constant struggle(jihad) with the people of the country and in a continuous battle with their ruling government to establish Islamic Sharia. A Professor at the University of Leiden, Christiaan Snouck Hurgronje, says that Islamic law has certainly aimed at "controlling the religious, social, and political life of mankind in all its aspects, the life of its followers without qualification, and the life of those who follow tolerated religions to a degree that prevents their activities from hampering Islam in any way."

The all-embracing nature of Islamic law can be seen because it does not distinguish between ritual, law (in the European sense of the word), ethics, and good manners. In principle, this legislation controls the entire life of the believer and the Islamic community. It intrudes into every nook and cranny: everything—to give a random sample—from the pilgrim tax, agricultural contracts, the board, and lodging of slaves, the invitation to a wedding, the use of toothpicks, the ritual fashion in which one's natural needs are to be accomplished, the prohibition for men to wear gold or silver rings, to the proper treatment of animals is covered.

Ibn Warraq (Why I am Not a Muslim)” described the unworthy principles if Islam as thus: intolerance of pagans, the call to violence and murder, the lack of equality for women and non-Muslims, the acceptance of slavery, barbaric punishments, and contempt for human reason.

According to The Week, in Saudi Arabia (ironically, the head of the United Nations Human Rights Council), women cannot go anywhere without a chaperone, drive a car, “wear clothes or make-up that show off their beauty,” interact with men they’re not related to and many other oddities.

Crimes that are punishable by death in Saudi Arabia (often by public beheading or stoning), according to Vocativ, include adultery, “consensual gay sex with an adult,” robbery, drug distribution and possession, apostasy, consumption of intoxicants, sorcery, and witchcraft. You can also be executed for being gay and being an atheist. According to a poll done by Pew Research Center in 2013, which asked Muslims from various countries (such as Albania, Russia, Bosnia, Kyrgyzstan, Turkey, Malaysia, Indonesia, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Palestine, Egypt, Jordan, and others) about the penalty for apostasy, a large number of them supported the death penalty. In Egypt, 86 percent supported killing apostates. As per Pew Research,” In Pakistan (89%) and Afghanistan (85%), more than eight in ten Muslims who want Islamic law as their country’s official law say adulterers should be stoned, while nearly as many say the same in the Palestinian territories (84%) and Egypt (81%).”

Some examples of Sharia LAW punishments:

Once Muslims have the power and make laws based on the Quran and Hadiths, All Hindus will have to follow these rules, failing which can result in severe punishments and deaths. More than that all Hindus would lose their freedom to express themselves because that would be incompatible with Islamic Jurisprudence. It would have a drastic effect on the whole of Bharath and the generations to come. These are some of the features of Sharia Law culled from various sources.

• Theft is punishable by amputation of the right hand.
• Criticizing or denying any part of the Quran is punishable by death.
• Criticizing or denying Muhammad as a prophet is punishable by death.
• A Muslim who becomes a non-Muslim is punishable by death.
• A non-Muslim who leads a Muslim away from Islam is punishable by death.
• A non-Muslim man who marries a Muslim woman is punishable by death.
• A man can marry an infant girl and consummate the marriage when she is 9 years old.
• Girls' clitoris should be cut.
• A woman can have 1 husband, but a man can have up to 4 wives; Muhammad can have more.
• A man can unilaterally divorce his wife, but a woman needs her husband's consent.
• A man can beat his wife for insubordination.
• Testimonies of four male witnesses are required to prove rape against a woman.
• A woman who has been raped cannot testify in court against her rapist(s).
• A woman's testimony in court allowed only in property cases, carries half the weight of a man.
• A woman inherits half of what a male heir inherits.

• A Muslim woman must cover every inch of her body, which is considered "Awrah," a sexual organ.
• - Sharia dictates death by stoning, beheading, amputation of limbs, and flogging, even for crimes of sin such as adultery.
• All the Hindu Temples could be demolished since they are against “idolaters.”
• Taharush is an Arab word that denotes the encircling of girls and women by groups of Muslim men for the purpose of sexual harassment, including assaults, groping, and even rape. The seizure of Infidel females and their use as sex slaves is sanctioned in the Koran.

Once the Muslims dominate the political structure in India, they can pass the Sharia law, and all Hindus can be subjected to the above commands of Islam. The Koran ordains them to “Fight them until all opposition ends and all submit to Allah. (Koran 8:39) Also, the Koran instructs the Muslims to destroy Hindu Gods and goddesses. Koran 8:39: “Make war on them until idolatry is no more and Allah’s religion reigns supreme.” Now is the time for Hindus to reflect and discuss the options Hindus have. The gravity of the Islamic terror and rampage is real. Either we are willing to subject ourselves to Sharia law or fight our way out of this Islamic brutality and their insatiable thirst to dominate and make India an Islamic State. Stand up and fight to thwart the potential Islamic rule for the sake of the future of India, for the welfare of humanity, and to protect democratic principles. We Hindus need to stop them from making India an Islamic Country and keep it as secular as per the Constitution.
