Baba
Piara Singh’s dera raided
26 followers arrested
Ropar, September 23
The pressure put by various religious
and political bodies for the arrest of Baba Piara Singh Bhaniara for
“instigating” his followers to burn the holy Guru Granth Sahib,
culminated in police raids on his dera near Dhamana village in Nurpur Bedi
early this morning. About 20 police parties under the supervision of the
SSP, Ropar, Mr G.P.S. Bhullar, descended on the dera.
Is
suicide permitted in Islam?
London, September 23
In a collection of the
sayings of Prophet Mohammad, published almost two centuries after
his death by Islamic scholar Sahih Bukhari, suicide is clearly
proscribed: “Do not kill yourselves, for indeed Allah is Most
Merciful to you. Whoever takes his or her own life by any means
has unjustly taken a life that Allah has made sacred. Its
preservation is a duty incumbent on any individual.”
Mohammad’s words ought to provide proof for those in any doubt
as to the status of suicide in Islam.
