THE clip showing Imran Khan and his wife prostrating at Baba Farid’s shrine is viral on social media with a lot of people condemning the PTI chief. Some are holding his wife responsible for this act.

Before this, people commented negatively on Imran’s second and third marriage, forgetting that this is his personal issue.

People find no other issue but condemning every personality on petty and personal issues on social media. Everybody is good at giving fatwas.

Imran mentioned that he kissed the floor out of respect and considers prostrating to anyone except Allah a great sin.

Despite this, people are calling him mushrik. Faith in Allah is purely an internal matter and belongs to one’s heart and intentions. Nobody can call anyone a kafir based on his apparent acts.

Shehla Inam

Wah Cantt
