Naatiya Mushaira by Non Muslims Poets

Description

A group in Mumbai has launched a campaign titled 'Prophet For All' for dialogue, harmony, hope and outreach to non-Muslims to clear misconceptions about Islam. With the atmosphere becoming "increasingly polarising and acrimonious", some like-minded Muslims from the city have launched this drive to build bridges between the communities. Recently, the contentious statement regarding Prophet Muhammad by former BJP spokesperson Nupur Sharma created an immense outcry among the Muslim community across the globe. It led to a few violent incidents and two people, one in Rajasthan and the other in Maharashtra, were killed over supporting Sharma’s statement on social media. The zealots came up with the slogan, “Nabi se gustaakhi ki ek hi sazaa, sar tan se juda (Beheading is the only punishment for insulting Prophet)". With some political leaders adding fuel to the fire, keeping in mind their respective vote banks, the situation only turned worse. In order to douse such sentiments, and eradicate all "wrong notions", the group has launched the 'Prophet For All' campaign. As per the campaign, all medium of communication is to be envisaged for reaching out to Hindus and other communities. Muslims will be encouraged to invite non-Muslims for breakfast, lunch or dinner and informally talk about contentious issues and clear misunderstandings.
