Indian man gambles daughter away
Posted September 20, 2009 19:00:00

A father in eastern India gave away his teenage daughter to a fellow gambler after he lost a card game, with police launching a hunt to retrieve the girl.

Ismail Sheikh, from a village in West Bengal, used his 18-year-old daughter as a stake after he lost all his money, The Times of India said on Sunday (local time).

"Ismail lost the game again and Mustafa walked away with the girl," said Satyajit Bandhopadhyay, a senior police officer investigating the case.

The girl protested but the victorious Mustafa dragged her out of the village, the report said.

Family members were quoted as saying the father was a compulsive gambler with a drink problem and they had thrown him out the house after losing the teenager.

Gambling is illegal in India but thousands of underground dens operate, attracting poor villagers who hope to make a quick buck.

Naturally, children are seeking guardianship from the parents (and adults as a whole). It is a lot to ask of a child to fend for his or herself, and it is more to ask of a child to fend for his or herself against those who are supposed to exercise the roles of guardians, by birth. The reality of this story is, obviously, quite alarming. What I would tell our youth in Al-Islam (because apparently those men possessed muslim names, and though I am not their judge, nor the judge of muslims, for only Allah can truly judge us), would be to learn the truth of the Kalima of Allah in the Quranul Kareem and the "Truth" of the Kitab (and not the falsehood in it) and all pertinent knowledge of the hadiths and fiqh...so that they may possess discernment. The ability to discern truth from error; good from bad; right from wrong is important. Being leaders or parents is like taking a "trust" or amanat...and again I don't know the truth about the daughter or the father (like what is their natures and characters), but, that apparently gambling is wrong in Al-Islam and that the trust in which the father was entrusted to care for her was quite, evidently, breached. If someone tells you anything in deen, then, ask them what and where is the source of this knowledge (Where does it say that?). And if they cannot provide a valid source, then, perhaps what has been said can be considered invalid until the sources are confirmed as "Truth".

Judeo-Christian-Islamic Forum building-facility project in Israel Purpose: Essentially, all of the children of Father Adam (Abu Adama) and Mother Eve (Umm Hawa) are homeless here on this assignment of station earth. This project is purely for peace in Israel and in the Middle East. The purpose of this is to build a facility in Israel for the purpose of creating a forum for dialogue on the Truth in the verses of Allah (Yahweh) revealed in the Holy Bible and the Holy Quran. This dialogue to be conducted by teams of youth and young adults of the 3 Ibrahimic faiths. These would be representatives or ambassadors, if you will, of their particular communities following appropriate protocol for the exchange, debate and rebuttal of the verses revealed by Allah (Yahweh). I believe that this forum can be used to refine and perfect diplomacy, respect and reverence amongst all parties involved including towards our Creator. The Holy Quran says, "If only they had stood fast by the Law (Torah), the Injeel (Gospel) and all the revelation that was sent to them from their Lord (Rabb), they would have enjoyed happiness from every side..." HQ 5:66 This is the foundation of this project and actually it could be named "The Happiness from every Side project" There are many prophesies of prosperity mentioned in the Holy Bible. for example, the restoration of the Negev and many verses of destruction and condemnation, for example, in Jeremiah, Isaiah and Ezekiel. As children of Father Adam we must ascertain what our duties and responsibilities are for peace on earth and return to the true home intended for us. The destruction from man is not the only destruction that we should be concerned about...it is that destruction that comes from Allah (Yahweh) that should be of highest concern. Also there are many prophesies against those that intend destruction of Israel, for example, on the tongue of King David in the Psalms (Zaburi), Zechariah, and Tobit of the Apocrypha. So maybe Peace, Shalom, Salaam is better, especially in light of nuclear capabilities. I believe that this forum should engage only the verses of the 2 Holy Books and not include the Talmud and Hadiths, which are the oral traditions of Judaism and Islam respectively. This to maintain focus on what it is that God has said concerning salvation. I believe that a facility in Israel should be constructed for this purpose.
Scope: Pick up pens and not guns in the Judaic/Christian/Islamic situation. Pick up pens and not bombs in Judaic/Christian/Islamic. Marvelous how under the Prophet Moses (saws) or (as) the pen was so strong that a person could use it to write a legal divorce from someone. Marvelous how under Prophet Muhammad the pen is so strong that one could use it to write a legal emancipation and manumission from slavery from someone. Israel and Palestine should be like College or University campuses (do we say campii), nevertheless, the people of the Torah learning the "Truth" from the Quran and Injeel; the people of the Injeel learning the "Truth" from the Quran and Torah; the people of the Quran learning the "Truth" from the Torah and Injeel. "Truth" being the keywords in the above formula.
Venue: I have just created a video of a prayer for the Messiah and John the Baptist coming from me a follower of Prophet Muhammad of the Orthodox community of Al-Islam. A have made the holiday season song that accompanies the vid available for download. The idea is to sell 25 million downloads of the "Dua Nabi Isa/Yahya vid track" by Xmas to build a facility in Israel that will house a forum for the discussion of the 3 religious views. This is to help encourage diplomacy amongst the youth that participate for the future. Tracks that I am offering are the Classical tracks; Dua Nabi Isa Nabi Yahya vid track and the Salawatul Nabi 2 track. I intend to give 80% of the downloads to the cause. Project: Now this is actually borrowed from a forum that I was apart of in my college years sponsored and hosted by AT&T it was called the AT&T Don't Hate Communicate “Future Leaders Forum”. Because, in the times that we are in, I am thinking that it would be super for this program to be re-instated. These times are calling for the sowing of seeds of hope for our future. These times are calling for the sowing of seeds of diplomatic skills for our future. Appropriate cross cultural communication is important to many of the conflicts happening across the globe. It is important to be able to understand other ethnic and religious groups that are on this globe. The situation in Israel can be capsulized as each of the 3 major religions (Judaism, Christianity, Al Islam) that are there, are at odds with the scriptures of the other 2.
Solution: “Each group accept the “Truth” from the scriptures of the other 2”. That would require very diplomatic dialogue. Communication is key. Other problems happening between others on the globe are quite similar with a quite similar solution. I hold to the idea of leaving out the Talmud and Hadiths, which are the oral traditions of 2 of the 3 majors and sticking to straight Word from the 2 Holy Books. In the end no 1 team is declared the winner. For all share in the victory of participation. What do you know a muslim wanted to build something in Israel and not do the opposite in Israel. Different youth Muslim teams from different Islamic nations can come on regular intervals to friendly debate with Israeli Jewish and Christian scholarly youth.
Need: Download here; Download under a cap of the tracks; or Caps under downloads as with the 1200 downloads blog for complimentary 1 Dozen Concentrated Hair Oil. Imeem/Snocap, MySpace, Twitter, Youtube exposure of the collaberation on this peace project with Beverage company.


I know...it is an ambitious project. Most are. It could be done, however. Possibly. If Allah/Yahweh is willing. It is a thought, nonetheless
Peace, Sholom, Salam, Muhakeem U. Abdullah
