Yes you are right. 'Come September' was the name of movie starring Rock Hudson :) Who could miss it? So the subject of this post is inspired from it. But we are living in a different era now and need to pay attention to the signs of times instead of wasting our time on movies, though it is worthwhile sometimes to get carried away in pursuit of innocent fun (or innocent movies?). The weather in Pakistan is ideal these days if we ignore the political chaos and the constant firing at LoC. Let's hope things get better in Sha ALLAH. Now we proceed below to the purpose of this post and to remind once again 'Together We Rise!' is not a venture for monetary gains (since the blog runs without ads), nor the aim revolves around political aspirations:

"AMAN KEY ASHA", MUSLIMS & DIWALI -
Diwali season of Hindus arrives again. I just want to raise a small yet serious concern without any intention to intimidate anyone.
Muslims who want to wish Hindus on their 'Diwali' festivity on Facebook should know that by doing so they might be committing 'Shirk' (associating partners with the One and Only ALLAH which is the biggest sin ALLAH will never forgive unless one repents before death) since like most Hindu events, Diwali is also based on the mythologies of their false gods. Thus by wishing a Hindu on their event basically one is acknowledging their false god and hence 'Shirk'. Hindus in Pakistan should be allowed to celebrate their event though, as according to Qur'anic verse there is no compulsion in religion. But Muslims who want to please Hindus in the FB group AMAN KEY ASHA should be careful and better avoid wishing Hindus. Some Muslims in Pakistan proceed further ahead dangerously not knowing what they are doing in fact and celebrate the event. It happened last year I remember. That is outright ignorance and 'Shirk'.
Following is what a Hindu said when I asked about the historical and religious significance of 'Diwali' AND hence confirmation of my fear about the event:
"Well, this has its roots in hindu mythology. Diwali is the day when lord Ram (an incarnation of lord Vishnu who is also considered the god of preservation) is believed to have returned to his kingdom in Ayodhya after his wife goddess Sita was abducted by the demon king ravan in sri lanka. When he returned, many firecrackers were lit and it's believed the original celebration went on for days. Effectively, it about erased the darkness from our lives and letting light or goodness prevail. So for some regions of India, diwali is a new year while for others, it's during other times. For many, it's the equivalent of christmas."
