HIS path, and HE is best aware of those who are guided". (An-Nahl

India is a country of multiple identities
based on region, language and religion,
each having more or less distinct social
structures which have been evolving
through the ages.

DR. MOHAMMED KHALID MUBASHIR UZ ZAFAR 7

 Tribes, one of the earliest identifiable social
organisations, can be traced to the Vedic period.

The initial differentiation was based on the colour of the skin

which later developed into a complex ‘varna system’ with
tribes being divided into
‘Brahmana’,
‘Kshatriy’,
‘Vaishya’ and
‘Shudra’ categories. DR. MOHAMMED KHALID MUBASHIR UZ ZAFAR 8
Sub Castes formed…
Caste system has its regional variations
due to the formation of regions and
regional consciousness after the eighth
century AD and it became more and more
complex, multiplying into a number of
castes and sub-castes due to a number of
factors.

DR. MOHAMMED KHALID MUBASHIR UZ ZAFAR 9

 Untouchability, the most
obnoxious practice, took roots
during the last phase of the
Vedic period and crystallised
into a separate identity in the
age of the Buddha.

DR. MOHAMMED KHALID MUBASHIR UZ ZAFAR 10

Slavery existed in India though it was different
from the classical Greek and Roman slavery

‘Purushartha’, ‘ashramas’ and ‘samskaras’ are

inter-linked concepts.

DR. MOHAMMED KHALID MUBASHIR UZ ZAFAR 11

 The position of women
in the history of India has been a
story of progressive decline until the
modern times when, with the spread
of western education, efforts were
made through social and religious
reforms to improve their conditions.

 B R Ambedkar on Gandhi
The Chatur Baniya
I should have thought that a well-wisher of the Depressed Classes would have fought tooth and nail for securing to them
as much political power as might be possible in the new Constitution. But the Mahatma’s ways of thinking are strange
and are certainly beyond my comprehension. He not only does not endeavour to augment the scanty political power
which the Depressed Classes have got under the communal award, but on the contrary he has staked his very life in
order to deprive them of little they have got. This is not the first attempt on the part of the Mahatma to completely dish
the Depressed Classes out of political existence. Long before, there was the Minorities pact. The Mahatma tried to enter
into an agreement with the Muslims and the Congress. He offered to the Muslims all the fourteen claims which they had
put forth on their behalf, and in return asked them to join with him in resisting the claims for social representation made
by me on behalf of the Depressed Classes.

It must be said to the credit of the Muslim Delegates, that they refused to be a party to such a black act, and saved the
Depressed Class from what might as well have developed into a calamity for them as a result of the combined opposition
of the Mohammedans and Mr.Gandhi.

Dalits are a nation with identity crisis:
• They don't have any God or Religion with whom they can relate
themselves..
• Hinduism which is supposed to be their religion rejects them and
degrades them as untouchables.
• How on earth can any one relate himself/herself with a religion
which humiliates him/her.
• We need to start an intellectual discourse on this identity crisis.

DR. MOHAMMED KHALID MUBASHIR UZ ZAFAR 20

Understanding Dawah First
what is the definite meaning of da`wah in
Islamic Tradition, and what does it mean
now? How could we fruitfully adapt the
mission of our Prophet Muhammed (peace
be upon him) and ancestors to new
lifestyles, social needs and technologies?
DR. MOHAMMED KHALID MUBASHIR UZ ZAFAR 21
Actually Da‘wah is:
A call for people to know, then choose, accept
and practice Islam as their way of life.
A process of reviving the Islamic ways and its
system in both, the individual and the societal
aspects of life
But unfortunately:
Due the impacts of fellow religions and some other
historical factors we too have formalise ‘DAWAH’ limited
to mere ‘communication’ and ‘preaching’.

 Two dimensions of The function of
Islamic Da’wah
 First is the basic dimension which seems to be lost and it aims at
bringing non-Muslims who lost the divine anchorage to the
spiritual frontier.

 The next dimension seeks to effect a transformation on the

Muslim ummah itself, by safeguarding Muslim individuals and
community from falling prey to tyrannical (taghiyat) values.

DR. MOHAMMED KHALID MUBASHIR UZ ZAFAR 30

“Lifestyle evangelism” is an evangelism strategy
that focuses on living a holy, winsome life among
unbelievers with the goal of attracting people to the
message of Allah (Islam).

Lifestyle evangelism is to share our faith through

our lifestyle in addition to the verbal testimony. In
contrast with other methods such as media-based
outreach which was popular in the mid-twentieth Prof. Ismail Raji al Faruqi
century, lifestyle evangelism focuses on building A distinguished scholar of
Islam and comparative
relationships with one person at a time. Through religions
friendship, opportunities arise to share the Quran.
DR. MOHAMMED KHALID MUBASHIR UZ ZAFAR 31
But always remember it that…..
Lifestyle evangelism never replace the
verbal sharing of the Quran and Sunnah, it
is a legitimate ministry tool.

Lifestyle evangelism can be a wonderful

way to show faith in action in a world that
needs to see what true Islam looks like.
