Was the Fatwa of Imaam Khomeni against Salman Rushdie Correct? โ Dr Zakir Naik
TJIPQA-9
Questioner: Salaamu Alaikum, my name is Yashak Ayamiโฆ Iโm from Iran really and I want to know exactly is thatโฆ you must have read Salman Rushdieโs Satanic Verse and as a Muslimโฆ nobody would have liked that bookโฆ so what do you think Imaam Khomeini did wasโฆ what he did was correctโฆ. Asking for the people for Fatawaโฆ that is my main point. What Imaam Khomeini had told about fatawaโฆagainstโฆ.. Fatawa against Salman Rushdieโฆ was it correct or whatโฆ ?
Dr. Zakir Naik: Brother has asked the question, that what Imaam Khomeini said regarding the Fatawa of Salman Rushdieโฆ is it right or wrong? My basic question is that why did Imaam Khomeini give the Fatawa one year later. The first country to ban the book of Salman Rushdieโs Satanic Verses was Indiaโฆ and I congratulated Rajiv Gandhi for doing that act. Why should Khomeini give the fatawa of killing Salman Rushdie after one year? Because he was getting out of the newsโฆ all politiciansโฆpoliticians. If he wanted to give the Fatawa he should have givenโฆ the book was reviewed by so many parts of the world, so many countries banned it and then he gives a Fatawa that he should be killed. Whether right or wrong.. its afterwards โฆall these are political gains. All political gainsโฆ All these scenes are political gains but what Rajiv Gandhi did may be he didnโt know about it and Iโve given a talk on this issue of Satanic Verses. Though this book is banned in India, Iโve read that book. You know?…. Salman Rushdie who claimsโฆ just for name sake heโs a Muslimโฆ he did not leave anyone. In his book he even abuses Queen Elizabeth. And the same British government who had banned an American author for using a four letter word, โFather Uncle Cousin Kingโโฆ for the policy of Margaret Thatcherโฆ that same Salman Rushdie he makes it active and uses โingโ and yet the book is very popular. So one American author they ban because he uses a four letter word for Margaret Thatcherโฆ this another person Salman Rushdie makes it active โingโ for the same Margaret Thatcher policy but he gets an awardโฆ why? Because he is maligning Islamโฆ so they are very happy and do you know he did not even leave Ram and Sitaโฆ you know these people are respected by the majority of the Indiansโฆ even abused them.. I donโt want to use that word.. he abused themโฆ he did not even leave them also and many of the people are supporting. So may be Rajiv Gandhi didnโt know but later on if you read that book you realize that he did not leave anyone.
So if a person who keeps maligning etc., Allah says in the Qurโan in Surah Maโidah, Chapter No. 5, Verse No. 33,
โAs to anyone who wages a war against Allah and his Messengerโโฆ
There are various options given that you can either execute him, you can crucify him.. chop off opposite limbs or take him out of the country and this law is not only in the Qurโan it is even in the Bible. If you read the Book of Leviticus, it says that โanyone who blasphemeth the lord you should stone that person to death, even a passer by whoโs a stranger should stone that person to death who blasphemeth the Lord.โ
So this law is there in all the religious scriptures, not only there in Islamโฆ. In most of the religious scripture for blasphemy, whether it be Christianity, whether it be Islam, whether it be Judaism for blasphemyโฆ if itโs a confirmed blasphemyโฆ if itโs that part of the country. We cannot give Fatawas here, they should kill …
