Dear Mr Javed Akhtar. Alhamdulillah. The quote is from Maulana Azad's Calcutta Speech. The speech was published in Khutbat-e-Azad. Here is the link: https://t.co/yXkvYTTW1j
The Maulana is exhorting the Indian Muslims to unite with Muslims around the world and save the Caliphate. He begins by stating that all relationships in the world can break down, father can turn against son, brother against brother, mother can shun her child but the relationship of a Muslim with a Muslim can never be severed.
The Maulana then continues: if even a grain of the soul of Islam is still alive in its followers, then if a thorn enters the foot of a Turk on the field of battle, I swear by Allah that no Muslim of Hindustan is a Muslim until he feels that prick in his own heart. For the Millat of Islam is one body, and Muslims, wherever they are, are its limbs. If a finger of the hand is cut, the rest of the body cannot remain at peace until it has felt the blow. This is not rhetoric. It is the plain meaning of the well-known hadith which Imam Ahmad related: the Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, said that the likeness of the believers in their mutual love, mercy and compassion is that of one body: when one limb complains, the whole body responds with sleeplessness and fever. And there is the other hadith, related by Abu Musa al-Ash‘ari: The believer to the believer is like a building; each part supports the other. This is the first and last distinguishing mark of the people of Islam, to which the Qur’an itself has pointed.
Then, to reinforce Muslim unity, Maulana Azad provides his commentary after quoting the Quranic verse 48: 29.
The Messenger of Allah and those with him are severe against the Kafirs, merciful among themselves.
Whatever hardness they have is for falsehood and unbelief; whatever love and tenderness they have is for truth, sincerity, Islam and Tawhid. So be extremely hard against disbelievers but extremely sympathetic and kind among ourselves; take heed, then, and do not pass over this as if you had not heard it.
P.S. This is the second time I am enlightening you on your heroes and their lifelong sociopolitical stances. The first time was when you refused to believe that books were banned, editors sacked, films blocked, and Majrooh jailed, under Nehru's rule. Please don't ask me about Gandhi next - the Mahatma, not Rahul, though both are probably your heroes. Cheers, WDTP

I was ordered by @Lenskart_com to cut my shikha and remove my tilak. When I refused to do so, I was fired. - Zeel Soghasia
This is blatant discrimination and bigotry that goes beyond adhering to some internal memo. Mr Soghasia must be recalled and reinstated. @peyushbansal
साई बाबा के मंदिरों से भीड़ गायब हो चुकी है।
जानकर बताते है, यह आस पास के सबसे प्रसिद्ध मंदिरों में एक हुआ करता था, लेकिन अब सनातनी हिंदू यहाँ आना नहीं चाहते।
आपके हिसाब से क्या कारण होगा ? 🤷🏻♂️
Imagine 2 Billion Christians were worshipping an Indian for the last 2000 Years!!
Yes, You Heard it Right!!
The Shroud of Turin is a famous religious artifact—believed by some to be the burial cloth of Jesus Christ.
The cloth is kept in Turin, Italy, in the Cathedral of Saint John the Baptist.
Christians believe It is the actual burial shroud of Jesus.
To determine the clothing’s true origin, researchers analyzed material gathered from the relic in 1978, finding that it contained a cornucopia of both medieval and modern DNA.
Researchers found that 40% of the DNA hailed back to Indian bloodlines, suggesting that Romans brought back linen from the Indus Valley, or even hinting that the shroud material originated on the subcontinent.
I demanded in Parliament that PATERNITY LEAVE should be a legal right in India.
When a child is born, both parents are congratulated. But caregiving responsibility falls on one. The mother.
A father should not have to choose between caregiving for his newborn and keeping his job. And a mother should not have to go through childbirth & recovery without her husband’s support
Right after childbirth the woman, needs her husband’s presence the most. The husband’s caregiving responsibility towards his wife is equally important.
I raised this issue in Parliament because caregiving is a shared responsibility. Our laws must reflect that.
If you think PK was the worst Propaganda movie, you haven’t seen Mahesh Bhatt’s Zakhm
-Mockery of Hanuman Ji
-Hindus shown violent
-Muslims shown victim
And today such movies are praised while likes of #Dhurandhar2 showing Pakistani terrorism is labelled hate
