On 15^th October (2010), Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina attended a Hindu religious ceremony in a temple and lied about the interpretation of the ayah of the Noble Qur'an. While talking to the devotees about communal harmony in the country she stated that Islam permits adopting secularism and to support her view she misquoted the last ayah of Surah Al-Kafirun as ‘to each is their religion.' In truth by her statement opportunist Sheikh Hasina is giving false meaning to the noble ayah of Allah (SWT) in order to achieve her lowly political goals. The ayah does not use the word ‘religion' at all; rather it uses the word ‘deen' which means ideology or way of life. The ayah says, ‘to you be your deen, and to me my deen.'

We are noticing that Sheikh Hasina, who is an expert at playing with the people's Islamic sentiments at the time of elections under this corrupt system which denies the people their rights, is frequently and deliberately lying to the people about the meaning of this ayah. The true meaning of the ayah is evident from the timing and the events surrounding its revelation. The whole of Surah Al-Kafirun was revealed when the disbelievers of Makkah, after failing to desist the Prophet (SAW) from conveying the Dawah to Islam through persecution, offered a compromise that they will accept to worship Allah (SWT) in exchange for Muhammad (SAW) accepting to worship their idols. Their offer was unequivocally rejected by Prophet (SAW); this is very clearly elucidated in the Surah:

"Say (O Muhammad): "O Al-Kafirun! I worship not that which you worship. Nor will you worship that which I worship. And I shall not worship that which you are worshipping. Nor will you worship that which I worship. To you be your deen and to me my deen." [Surah Al-Kafirun: 1-6]

Sheikh Hasina should know that by adopting secularism and taking the role of a legislator she is committing the unforgivable sin of associating partners with Allah (SWT), who is Al-Hakim. Allah (SWT) says,

"The command (or the judgement) is for none but Allah."  [Surah Yusuf: 40]

"And whoever seeks a deen other than Islam, it will never be accepted of him, and in the Hereafter he will be one of the losers." [Surah Ali-Imran: 85]

By her silence and negligence of these ayat Sheikh Hasina has also exposed herself as a lying deceiver to the Muslims of the country. The creed of secularism by which she has made herself sovereign like Fira'un has no place in Islam. And by the leave of Allah (SWT), the Muslims will soon end the reign of this secular system which forces hundreds and thousands of the people in the country to sleep under the open sky, failed to satisfy the basic needs of the people and solve their daily problems. They will soon establish the Khilafah "Caliphate" which will satisfy the needs and secure the rights of all people, Muslims and non-Muslims.
