Cover of Jodhaa Akbar
The religious leaders and scholars stopped Emperor Jalal at the entrance way into the palace because they believed that he broke the religious rules and the Sharia laws while he was visiting his in-laws palace in Amer.
Emperor Jalal is being accused of entering a temple on behalf and in honor of his Queen Jodha, worshiping and bowing his head in front of an Idol which is considered disrespectful to their religious beliefs because idol worship is considered to be unacceptable.
They wanted to have Emperor Jalal dethroned despite the fact that he consistently prays while facing the east five (5) times a day and is very devoted to his religious beliefs and lifestyle. So during a meeting the following day it was to be decided as to whether Queen Jodha should be forced to give up her religion and convert to theirs in order to save his throne…but then something extra ordinary happened…..Sheikh Mubarak was invited to speak at this meeting.
So here are the words of the Sheikh Mubarak in which he spoke of God and of love thereby saving the throne of Emperor Jalal and spearing Queen Jodha from denouncing and departing from her religion to take on theirs by force.
~~~~~~
Jalal, this morning when I woke up.
I heard some noises. Something compelled me to
look towards the sky. When I saw birds flying freely,
I realized how lucky those birds are. They are free
from every religion, every restriction and every tradition.
~~~
And yet they are very close to God.
God understands their chirping.
~~~
Then what is the difference between
‘Qalmas’ and ‘Mantras’?’
~~~
Jalal, I think you should create a world
which is like Ajmer Sharif.
~~~
A world in which love can breathe…..
without shackles of political
and religious bonds.
~~~
The day you understand love…..
You will receive a priceless gift from God.
And I know that only you can achieve that.
~~~
This is not just my dream.
This is a message given to me by nature.
I’m just delivering the message to you.
That is because I know that only you can change the old order.
Only you can grant such freedom to your subjects.
~~~
God is there to be loved.
God is not supposed to be feared.
I don’t think that after hearing this message.
You will have any problem
if His Majesty sits on the throne.
~~~~~~
