We are looking for the direction to K’aba, not the black stone, Zaneem. You know it but are forced to lie by your bad DNA.
Even without the Black Stone there, Muslims still faced Mecca to pray when the stone was moved to Bahrain for many years. It is just like the Jews face the site of their temple in Jerusalem, even if the “ Temple Mount “ is covered by the Dome of the Rock.

Here is a brief story of the Black Stone on the wall of Ka'aba:
The Stone has suffered desecrations and significant damage over the course of time. It is said to have been struck and smashed to pieces
by a stone fired from a catapult during the Umayyad siege of Mecca in 683. The fragments were rejoined by Abd Allah ibn Zubayr using a
silver ligament. In January 930, it was stolen by the Qarmatians, who carried the Black Stone away to their base in Hajar (modern Bahrain).
According to Ottoman historian Qutb al-Din, writing in 1857, Qarmatian leader Abu Tahir al-Qarmati set the Black Stone up in his
own mosque, the Masjid al-Dirar, with the intention of redirecting the hajj away from Mecca. However, this failed, and pilgrims continued to
venerate the spot where the Black Stone had been.
According to historian Al-Juwayni, the Stone was returned twenty-three years later, in 952. The Qarmatians held the Black Stone for
ransom, and forced the Abbasids to pay a huge sum for its return. It was wrapped in a sack and thrown into the Friday Mosque of Kufa,
accompanied by a note saying, “By command we took it, and by command we have brought it back.” Its abduction and removal caused
further damage, breaking the stone into seven pieces. Its abductor, Abu Tahir, is said to have met a terrible fate; according to Qutb al-Din,
“the filthy Abu Tahir was afflicted with a gangrenous sore, his flesh was eaten away by worms, and he died a most terrible death.”
Back Stone was Smashed and smeared
In the 11th century, a man allegedly sent by the Fatimid Caliph Al-Hakim bi-Amr Allah attempted to smash the Black Stone, but was killed
on the spot, having caused only slight damage. In 1674, according to Johann Ludwig Burckhardt, someone smeared the Black Stone
with excrement so that “every one who kissed it retired with a sullied beard”. The Shi’ite Persians were suspected of being responsible
and were the target of curses from other Muslims for centuries afterwards, though explorer Sir Richard Francis Burton doubted that they
were the culprits; he attributed the act to “some Jew or Greek, who risked his life to gratify a furious bigotry.”
During the civil war between the caliph Abd al-Malik and Ibn Zubayr who controlled Mecca, the Kaaba was set on fire in 683 C.E.
Reportedly, the Black Stone broke into three pieces. Ibn Zubayr reassembled it with silver. He rebuilt the Kaaba in wood and stone,
following Ibrahim’s original dimensions and also paved the space around the Kaaba. Unquote

Mr. Muzaffaruddin Ahmad,
Let me first say that I respect all religions and I do not like to get into these controversies, unless someone needs correction.
You have bragged that Muslims worship One God 'Worshipping One and only God. Unseen, no shape and no Form'. Now I know that Muslims turn to
Mecca five times a day and pray - who are you praying to? Mecca is a city. Are you praying to the city? No. You are praying to that Kaba.
OK. Now what is inside that Kaba? Inside that Kaba is a black stone - right? Don't lie to me. That black stone looks like a Shiv Ling.
Now Muslims don't like to hear that. And that is OK with me. But I understand that when the Prophet and his army took control of
Mecca, they broke all the idols, except the black stone. And I understand that the prophet kissed that black stone. That black stone
is in that Kaba and you are praying to that black stone. And I really don't care who you pray to, but why are you saying 'no shape, no form'?
You are praying to that black stone, which I understand is holy to you. I also learnt that a few times there were attempts to destroy that
stone by none other than those Muslims who think that they should not be praying to that stone, and that is why Saudi Arabia has
armed men standing there to protect Kaba. So, Muslims are also praying to some form. I know 'truth' is something that Muslims don't like.
But isn't that true?

Yes all Jews, Hindus, Christian, Sabian all will go to Jannah. What is wrong with it? That means you did not understand what religion actually is.
Criteria :
1. Worshipping One and only God. Unseen, no shape and no Form.
a. Christian/Jews say God is one. Unseen, no shape and no Form.
b. Hindus say the real Eashwar ( God ) is one only. Unseen, no shape and no Form.
c. Muslim say Allah ( God ) is the one and only. Unseen, no shape and no form
2. Those who will do good deeds will go to Jannah ( Heaven )
a. Christians/Jews say who will do good deeds will go to Heaven ( Jannah )
b. Hindus say who will do Pun ( Good Deeds ) will go to Swarg ( Jannah )
c. Muslims say who will do Amalo Saleh ( Good Deeds ) will go to Jannah ( Heaven )
3. Those who will do Evil deeds will go to Hell ( Dozakh )
a. Christians/Jews say who will do evil deeds will go to Hell ( Dozakh )
b. Hindus say who will do Paap ( Evil Deeds ) will go to Narak ( Hell, Dozakh )
c. Muslims say who will do Amaal Al Sharirah ( Evil Deeds ) will go to Dozakh ( Hell )
In this world there are two forces One Human Forces and the Other Satanic Forces. There is tussle between these forces. i.e Example.
Like me - Human Forces
Like You - Satanic Forces.
Where is the difference:
The Jews and Christians made their prophets as their Son of God. Jews made Uzair a.s. as their son of god. Where Christian made Jesus the son of god. Even they called the Holy Ghost also god. Hindus go further they say Penis is a god. Everything is the god. Snake, Pig, Elephant, Rat, Men, Women all gods goddesses or god incarnations.
What God has done:
When the Jews/Christians/Hindus/Sabaiyeen went against the true guidance of Monotheism. The God rejected them and sent Mohammed PBUH with the divine message the Holy Quran a divine living constitution and principles of Monotheism.
Those who believe Oneness of God, what is wrong with them if they accept prophet Mohammed PBUH as messenger. He brought the same message as you had it. Rest judge the teaching of Islam is good for or bad. If the Holy Quran guides you to do good deeds and forbid you to do evil deeds. You judge it is good for humanity then follow it. No compulsion., Only the book The Holy Quran on earth which asked readers to do good deeds for 1000 times.

Dear Mohammad,
I have four versions of Koran books and have read it from the first line till the last. Honestly, I could not believe my eyes. I do not see any sign of pluralism or tolerance for Hindus based on my own reading the N. J. Dawood's version (Penguin Books). However, it is possible I may not have understood what the Koran says. I do not want to be judgmental based on my limited knowledge. I respect all good Muslims.
I welcome if some Muslims, like Iftekhar and Mike (and many others), are claiming that Islam is a pluralistic faith. I hope more and more Muslim leaders will start following what Iftekhar and Mike are doing.
I am a practical person. If a Muslim marries a Hindu and 1) do not ask for religious conversion and 2) ready to raise children in TWO faiths, I am here to fully support such marriage. However, if a Muslim youth talks of pluralism during dating and in the end ask for conversion, I do not have any respect for such a Love-Jihadi.

· Everyone is a believer, whether you are a Muslim, Pagan or a Hindu, as far you do believe in accountability of your karma (or action). Even atheists have their beliefs.
· There is no reason to believe Quran will restrict a marriage of Muslim to a Hindu (where “Hindu” should mean the person will remain the same after the marriage and till death).
· A progressive Imam would perform Islamic Nikah without conversion of the Hindu party, meaning a “Hindu” can marry a Muslim without conversion.
I hope all of you will say something at below link expressing your views. It is critical to help innocent Hindu and Muslim youths. We need to tell them truth, from both sides. In name of God/Allah, why will we want any innocent youths to suffer? I hope you will consider this as Godly work.

During Rig Veda time, Hinduism started with Nirankari (no name or shape) God, but apparently there was a need for common mass to help them focus on God with some forms and shapes (akari, that came during Puranas time, murti and pooja were introduced). That does not mean new Gods were created as Rig Veda explained--One God but different names. Hinduism is not frozen in a particular time, but is evolving.
Mohammad, you said, "all "Hindu Mandirs" have idols in them!", do you have problem with it? Hindus don't have any problem with the murti system (Saguna or akari) along with option to worship the Ultimate in nirguna (or nirankari). I hope we are not playing a childish game that my idol is better than your idol (or doll; Read Idol Worshipper: Who is and who is not?)

This is wrong, "There is no Hindu temple anywhere in the world that does not have a murti." Go to any Araya Samaj mandir and you will not find any murti. There are many Hindus who don't believe in using murti to focus on the Ultimate. Personally, I give more important to Karma Yoga versus the Bhakti (devotion mostly using murti) yoga, but I certainly enjoy Bhakti yoga, immerse into music while focusing on God. As said, Hinduism gives us lots of choices and liberty.
Murti is the same as Kaaba to Muslims and Cross to Christians. To teach Hindus--not to assume the statue is God--there is a festival Ganesh Visharjan (departure). Hindus buy an idol of Ganesh, do pran pratistha ceremony (meaning installing soul the idol, now the idol is called murti) and after some 10 days, they immerse the physical idol (not God) into ocean. It is believe one could achieve Moksha only after a Hindu detaches him/her self from the idol and lean to focus on God.
Hinduism is not polytheist nor monotheist. For monotheists, there are two entities, 1) God and 2) human and rest. For Hindus, human are part of that Ultimate, not two separate entities. Thus Hindus are Monists.
Can a Monist and monotheist marry without conversion?

Hindus use murtis for concentration. There is no Hindu temple anywhere in the world that does not have a murti.
It does not mean they worship the murtis per se!
Muslims need to face the Grand Mosque in Mecca, which acts as a "murti" for their concentration. But as it is not
physically in front of them, most, if not all, Muslims lose their focus on their prayer while standing behind an Imam.
This is a fact I have verified with many Muslims who pray behind Imams in the mosque!
Islam unambiguously prohibits idol worshipping. To enforce this prohibition, Islam came into existence over 1400
years ago. Muslims claim that worshipping idols is an idiotic act, while acknowledging that recognition of three
Satans in the form of concrete pillars is necessary to keep their faith alive!
They dutifully and enthusiastically stone those statues of Satan. Many in the past got trampled to death while frantically
attempting to stone those statues of three Satans!

Dear Mohammad,
This is what we wrote and our logics:
Scriptures
It is said that if God did not want a Muslim-Hindu marriage, it would have been said in the Quran or Geeta. God does not make mistakes; instead he empowers us to figure out our own equilibrium. Further, the Quran calls there is no compulsion in matters of faith. [Quran 2:256]
“And among His signs is that He created mates for you from among yourselves (it could mean a Muslim as well a Hindu) so that you may find tranquility in them; and He placed love and compassion between you. In these are signs for people who reflect.” [Quran 30:21]
Indeed, the Quran is a universal book of guidance for Muslims; it does not say God puts love between two Muslims but two humans as if He has installed magnetic attraction between two individuals that brings them together. Therefore, there is no reason to believe Quran will restrict a marriage of Muslim to a Hindu (where “Hindu” should mean the person will remain the same after the marriage and till death). India’s renowned poet Ghalib writes that love happens; no one starts out saying I want to love this person. There is no reason or rhyme for falling in love.
Fundamental religious beliefs between Islam and other faiths (read 1, 2) could certainly bring complexities to many interfaith couples. Most Islamic communities believe that a marriage must be “accepted” by Allah. For this reason, a Muslim would expect the non-Muslim spouse to convert to Islam before an Islamic wedding ceremony, the Nikah. This practice (expectation of conversion of the non-Muslim spouse for Nikah) can be challenged based on today’s pluralistic world view.
The same can be said for orthodox Christian or Catholic communities for asking for conversion prior to a church wedding. A Hindu may not ask the Muslim intended spouse to convert to Hinduism but will certainly want him or her to follow certain Hindu practices.
It is important also to understand Quran 2:221, “Do not marry women who associate others with Allah (polytheists, idolaters), until they believe in Allah. A believing bonded woman is better than a woman who associates others with Allah, even if she pleases you. Do not marry men who associate others with Allah until they believe in Allah. A believing bonded man is better than a man who associates others with Allah, even if he pleases you…”
This verse is cited to compel conversion before marriage, but it simply says that compatibility is the key to the success of any marriage. God loves harmony among his creation, particularly the married couples. In the above verse, the wisdom of the Quran emphasizes compatibility and suggests marrying a person who is on the same wavelength as you are, rather than a person with a conflicting belief.
We need to understand the essence of God’s wisdom rather than the literal text (for example, Allah and Ishvar), as the words do expand and shrink in meaning. Everyone is a believer, whether you are a Muslim, Pagan or a Hindu, as far you do believe in accountability of your karma (or action). Even atheists have their beliefs. Atheists of today are responsible and accountable for their actions, sometimes more than some religious people.
In Islam, there is a prohibition to the marriage of Muslims to polytheists or idolatress, however Hindus are not polytheists nor idol-worshipers. They have liberty to express the God by many names and forms, as is clearly expressed in Rig Veda; as Ekam sat, vipra bahudha vadanti (there is only one Truth, but expressed in various ways). The forms and names are options available to a Hindu but are not mandatory. A practicing Hindu may not use any form or name of God while meditating but may want to use an iconic representation of God (murti) during pooja (worship).
The authors will leave interpretations of scriptural statements to the couple in love.

A mushrikah is an idol-worshipping woman who worships stones, whether from among the Arabs or others.
Can a Muslim woman marry a non-Muslim man?
It is not permissible for a Muslim woman to marry a non-Muslim man from any other religion, whether from among the Jews or Christians, or any other religion. It is not permissible for her to marry a Jew, a Christian , a Magian, a communist, an idol-worshipper, etc.
Evidence for the prohibition of marrying a non-Muslim man
The evidence for that is the verse in which Allah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“And give not (your daughters) in marriage to Al-Mushrikun till they believe (in Allah Alone) and verily, a believing slave is better than a (free) Mushrik (idolater), even though he pleases you. Those (Al-Mushrikun) invite you to the Fire, but Allah invites (you) to Paradise and forgiveness by His Leave, and makes His Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) clear to mankind that they may remember.” [al-Baqarah 2:221]

Now our article is published in Patheos.
Since Patheos is not letting put comments, I am using InterfaithShaadi for it. Here, I am also including Iftekhar's messages and photo too. Please provide comments there, not in this email trail since it is difficult to follow (at least for me!)
Please share it widely. We wish to hear from both Muslim and Hindu community leaders about it. Based on that, we may write a follow up article for more clarification. We wish to hear from all, thank you.
