Maulana criticises Nushrratt Bharuccha’s Mahakal Mandir visit:National Muslim Jamaat president says act is Sharia violation; temple saint calls her a ‘Ghar Wapsi’ moment

A controversy has erupted over Bollywood actress Nushrratt Bharuccha’s visit to the Mahakal temple. Maulana Shahabuddin Razvi Bareilvi, National President of All India Muslim Jamaat, said, “Nushrratt performed religious traditions in the Ujjain temple, offered water; all these things are against Islam. In the eyes of Sharia, Nushrratt is a sinner, she should repent.” Famous film actress Nushrratt Bharuccha, who has acted in films like Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety, Pyaar Ka Punchnama, and Dream Girl, participated in the Bhasma Aarti at the Mahakaleshwar temple on Tuesday. During this, Nushrratt offered water and received the prasad of Lord Mahakal. Meanwhile, several saints in Ujjain have become angry with the Maulana for lecturing Nushrratt on Islam. They have called Nushrratt’s visit to the Mahakal temple an example of Ganga Jamuni Tehzeeb (syncretic culture) and ‘Ghar Wapsi’ (homecoming), advising the Maulana to stay away from such matters. Nusrat should repent
Maulana Razvi said, a Muslim woman going to a temple and performing religious rituals is against Sharia and Islam. Being a Muslim, by offering water at Mahakal temple and following religious traditions, Nusrat is violating the principles of Islam, she should repent. Nusrat did not react
Nusrat, who comes from the Dawoodi Bohra community, has not yet reacted to this matter. However, during her visit to Mahakal temple, Nusrat had stated that she had come for the second time and would come again. Nusrat herself described her visit as a peaceful and positive experience and also praised the temple’s arrangements. Saints’ anger erupted over Maulana’s reaction
Mahant Vishal Das said, if someone is voluntarily returning home, why is the cleric bothered? Girls are coming out of a life of humiliation and bowing their heads after visiting Mahakal, so you should be proud. Such clerics should be warned not to try to impose religion on anyone, otherwise Mahakal is sitting with his trident, Maulana should stop his rhetoric. Mahant Satyanand of Shri Panchayati Akhara Bada Udasin said that Shahabuddin did not like the Indian film actress coming to Mahakal; you talk about Ganga Jamuna Tehzeeb, and she is having faith in Sanatan. Such a fatwa should not be issued.
