RAPE, BLACKMAIL, AND ‘SABAB’: THE DEAFENING SILENCE OF ISLAMIC CLERICS

Recently in May 2025, Bhopal incidents, where Hindu girls were raped by being organized Muslim youths, made videos and blackmailed, kept Roja, wearing a burqa and asked for a photo. Such disgusting acts are going to shock the society. According to media reports, the statement of Moh Farman in which he did not regret it, I got “Sabab”. When they become even more rigid when young people justify crimes from the verses of religion. Do Muslim youth really get sabbab on raping Hindu women? Did an Indian cleric, religious leader and Islamic scholar factually denote this youth?

In 1992, 250 Hindu students and women aged 11 to 20 in Ajmer led to gang rape and blackmailing under the leadership of Farooq and Nafees Chishti. In Beawar district, Hindu minor girls were exploited and blackmailed by Muslim youths, whose case was registered at Bijayanagar police station. Recently raped a 12 -year -old Hindu girl by 74 -year -old Maulvi in Uttarakhand. From the 1992 Ajmer scandal to the rape of a minor girl by a cleric in Uttarakhand, there have been many cases where the aggrieved side has suffered the pain of religious fanaticism, collective and systemic exploitation. It is not only inhuman for the victims, but also highlights the silence of the society that remains silent due to only “religious appeasement” or “political facility” towards these crimes.

Of course, crime comes under the purview of law and every convict should be punished through judicial process. But when religious identity, religious education or distorted interpretation of religious texts becomes a factor behind crime, then it is not only a matter of law, but becomes the responsibility of social, religious and ideological leadership to come forward and give clear reactions.

It is being justified and Islam in the name of 72 Huro and Islam and Quran’s verses by Islamic scholars, clerics and other religious preachers through social media on the continuous crime with women and girls. Is it really hypocrisy in the name of Islam? Does it not create hatred and confusion in the minds of the youth?

At the same time, some thinkers are also of the opinion that some interpretations of Islamic education at the name of Islam and Quran, some interpretations of Islamic education, fundamental education being given in madrasas, speeches of Islamic scholars on social media are traditions such as 72 Huron’s concept and polygamy, which are constantly making new generations confused and furious.

While the support of crimes by Islamic scholars or some clerics on social media is appeasement by some progressive ideology people, the silence of the influential class of society and the double parameters through social media is not suicidal? Every time a crime is in the name of religion, or he is sacrificed by religion, does the whole community and religion do not stand in the dock? Do collective faults damage social harmony? Will it not be enough only to accept itself at such a time? Do not the religious, social and ideological leadership come forward and give clear and strong response? Should the religious leaders take the responsibility to not only clearly oppose the anti -national acts, but also explain the religion correctly and also reveal the respect for the country, so that the new generation can follow it and remain a true sense of religious values.

Crime has been seen as the responsibility of the individual, but when the crime is collectively organized, and the role of religious identity or ideology is seen in them, then the intellectual class and religious leadership of the entire community will have to come forward and say - “This is not the soul of our religion.”

The responsibility of madrasas, religious institutions should not be limited only to religious education, but should also be trained in human interpretation, sensitivity and morality of that education. Religion should be made the basis of compassion, equality and co-existence by not making a tool of fear or confusion.

When the influential class of society-whether it is media, intellectual or politician-reacts to these events only with political gains and loss glasses, then this silence becomes the biggest crime. It not only confuses the youth, but also gives a message to the criminals that they have the armor of religious appeasement.
