Shah Rukh Khan Reacts: Comments on Prophet Mohammad a Writing Error

A day after a police complaint was filed against him for “hurting religious sentiments” in Islam, Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh said Friday that his comments to a magazine were misinterpreted due to a “writing error”.

The First Information Report (FIR) was lodged by the Mumbai Aman Committee (MAC) at the Bandra police station here Thursday after they read in Time’N Style-Luxury that Shah Rukh had listed Prophet Mohammad as one of the most unimpressive personalities in history alongside Adolf Hitler and Winston Churchill.

But Shah Rukh said it was a “writing error” and that he had named the Prophet among the most impressive personalities in history.

‘Blame the typo’

Obviously I think that there is no more important figure in history than Prophet Mohammad in the most positive way possible. Also, being a Muslim and standing up for the tenets of Islam is my most important agenda. If they (MAC) have seen my interviews on TV about Islam and Prophet Mohammad, they would know it’s a writing error and not a thought or view that I believe in…” Shah Rukh told IANS in an SMS message.

 

For all practical purposes, Prophet Mohammad is the most important positive figure in Islam…” he added.

A corrigendum from the magazine was also published across Mumbai newspapers Thursday wherein the magazine accepted the error.

The corrigendum stated: “This is with reference to the interview with Shah Rukh Khan that featured in Time’N Style-Luxury Vol-1 issue: The answer to question ‘According to you (Shah Rukh) who is the most impressive figure in history?’ should have appeared as: “There are lots of them. Some negative ones like Hitler. Then Napoleon, Winston Churchill were impressive.

If I can call it history then most impressive, positive figure Prophet Mohammad and from recent times there are the nice ones like Nelson Mandela, Gandhi ji and Mother Teresa.” This is a clarification and the error is deeply regretted.

An official from the Bandra police station, however, confirmed that the FIR had not been withdrawn even after the corrigendum was published.

  6. waAllah aalam! In my personal and humble views, I do NOT think we’ve been given a right to be judgemental. Even I might have done several time, but still it would be wrong and is not fair. Man is not at all capable of doing so. It should, therefore, better be left of The One who knows all and in depth!

    Moreover, there’re no gourds left anymore after his clarification and also the magazine’s that we may put any blame on SRK. If in your view there are, do share!

    As i have red from the website that shahrukh says its typing mistake than there is no problem.If Shahrukh is wrong that is if he said improper words againts PBUH than i will hate shahrukh khan, i like shahrukh khan if he did like this than there is no way to forgive him because he blamed on our prophet(PBUH).

    #1674
  8. Bottom line is, if he denies that and so does the magazine, there’s no basis left to be more conditional with assumptions.

  12. Well, we cannot and must not generalize just-like- that. I agree, our youth is bit too emotionally quick n also that sometimes linguistic issues push them a little backward! In above case, I believe that’s the issue.

    Hey Mr TEREX mind ur language. as ur comments shown u r not a muslim so how can u know the importance of OUR beloved PROPHET (P.B.U.H)
    i also liked SRK. but i hate him .

    #1685
  14. @Muhammad Kamran Ajmal:

    I don’t agree to terex’s first line but later, Terex is right about there being no reason to hate SRK particularly on this issue. Read the article above carefully, for God sake people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    SRK….My fooot…

    Mujah to pahley hi shak tha k iss ko apnay mazhab kay baray main kuch pata hai k nahin. kune kay sony t.v per chalnay wali aik documentry main iss ka apnay gar main QURAN PAK OR GEETA aktahy rakhay huay thay or iss ne yah khud puja bhi ki thi kar.

    1 or program main SRK se jab pucha gya k ap apnay bachon ko kis mazhab ki taleem dain gay kune kay app kay apnay gar main 2 mazahib ki kutab hain? to us par iss ka jawab tha kay “main apnay bachon ko majboor naihn karoon gaa wo jo pasand karain apna saktay hain.”
    maqsad yah hai k jiss shakh ko apnay mazhab kay baray main na pata ho wo dosroon ka ideal kaisay ho sakta hai.

  17. Hi my brothers i like to comment about this shah rukh khan issue b4 i hate him but know after i research about it i identify the truth is misinterprinted.But i always want to advice shah rukh to avoid his useless speech just exactly what govinda advice him previously He said one day his tongue will land him to problem just like this, so shah rukh as a muslim not every things that you mention our PROPHET MUHAMMAD PBUH. Pls take care. Bye.

    #1839
  18. SALAM. I AM 100 and 10 % sure that is not a misprinting .

    #1845
  19. Hi Muhammmad Kamran, i know shah rukh khan is not good muslim as he said him self that he is practising 2 religion in his home. And a part from that is not suppose to mention the name of the PROPHET or compared the PROPHET with those people, even if it’s on a good way. So i didn’t support him and he deserve to be punish for what he did ACCORDING TO ISLAMIC LOW.

    #1849
  20. i was a great fan of him before this incident.i never missed his any movie but now he hurt me so much that i hate him so much that i have no word to epress.he is controvercial personality regarding islam.He kept a Mander in his mouse being a muslim he told that i never compell my childern they have their own choice to select the religion what they want.

    However SRK has said these words or not, but if i would have been there where anybody comments like that i would have killed that person at the very moment.
    Now SRK has to follow the rules to avoid retaliation from the true muslims.He must offer his taubah as soon as possible and go to some ulema of indian mosque for clarifications.

    I have read the remarks given by the Indian actor against moslems Prophet MOHAMMAD. The Indian actor is undoubtedly an ad nauseam. Now he is using circumlocution and terming it as a typo mistake.
    Had it been a typo mistake there’s no need for him to clarify his position. The magazine is responsible for the chicanery.

    The Indian actor is defending him with shameless audacity and is exhibiting amazing chutzpah.

    Mr. Shah Rukh will be despised and abominated by the Muslims all over the world.

    please remove his pic.. this is looking like dog in this pic bastard shahrukh khan.. just killed him… if you are muslim so please just slaught his head…

    #2506
  24. Hey what i want say about this issue why cant he file a case against who ever misinterprinted him if its true that he did not said so, or the editor of the magzine to come out and say its him mistake not shah rukh. If that haping i will believe shah rukh 100 percent.

      Yes, I agreed with you Usman. Sharu Khan can take a serious action (sue them) on the newspaper company if it is true they misinterprited him with this unforgaving statement.

  25. faiz fan

    Why are SRK’s supposed remarks considered “against” the Prophet, PBUH? Is tolerance of other religions and faiths by definition “against” the Prophet or against Islam? That is not at all what the Prophet or Islam teach. They teach that there should be no coercion in matters of faith. That is the essence of SRK’s supposed remarks. If these are his remarks, he seems to be a better Muslim from his tolerance and respect of his own and of other faiths, than those who threaten to kill him for his so-called belief or faiths.

    You are sullying the image of Islam by your intolerant responses, actually justifying violence simply because of someone’s supposed beliefs. What about Muslims living in non-Muslim countries – should the non-Muslims adopt your attitudes and justify insults and violence against Muslims simply because Muslims do not agree that non-Muslims have a monopoly on the ultimate truth?

  26. kyoko

    I don’t think he would say such a thing, but if he did I don’t wait for him to tel me who my prophet is nor do I need any one to complement on him, I know my prophet and verry well so he can say what ever he says, coz speaking wouldn’t change history. ciao.

  27. Aliyu Haidar

    SRK is not an ideal person to exonerate himself.The writer/interviewer of the magazine is the responsible to clear the statement,if he was 100% sure he did not confess.SRK should know that, he is the model-icon among the teeming muslim youth in the entire world.He has to be careful before utering those things.especially relating prophet PBUH with some personalities.Meanwhile,this is not a tenet of Islamic teachings and respect.Islam is one,the world is one.We the entire muslims in Africa-Nigeria are not happy with such evil acts.You quickly seek repentence and look for clarification.We were your fans but if such is true, we will be really disappointed.”Allah knows what heart desires and hides”

    IF intensionally SRK said like that he is Kafir and he had 3 days to appologize and SAY “Kalima TUYIBBA” again to embrace Islam.I m not sure whats true but if he not appologize he is Wajibul Qatal.

    #2939
  32. Saroosh Khan

    SRK is a munafiq, apostate and a blasphemer. According to Islam, he is Wajibul Qatal and thus must be killed.

    This man (Sharu Khan) called himself a non-good muslim & by that he can do or said any sort of nonsense agaist our beloved prophet & our religion. I belive even Hindus & christian stars of Indian origin can not make such stupid & unitelligent statement in newspaper. My dear muslim brothers & sisters lets investigate this issue carefully before taking any action just to avoid executing him on something he has not done. I dont like him for saying that he is not a good muslim & proud of that.

    • Usman solo Nigeria,Kano

      I have researched a lot about this issue, at last i identified the truth of it. Yes is true that shah rukh said this, but there were some exeggerations in their article. What happened was that,one of the magazine’s reporter [timenstyle] gave shah rukh an interview where he asked him.”Who is the most impressive figure in history, according to you?”
      Shah rukh replied.There are lots of them, some negative ones like Hitler. On the other hand there are nice ones like Napoleon, Winston Churchill and if I can call it history, then Prophet Mohammed and from recent times – Nelson Mandela. And also Gandhiji and Mother Teresa who are equally impressive.So this is it, the muslim commity of indian they accused him for mentioning the prophet among with these people who are not deserve.As a muslim i dont like him personaly bcos he always show no respect to his religion,but propesinaly he is my actor.I LOVE SOME OF HIS MOVIE.For more refrencess about this issue check http://www.timenstyle.com/luxury/interview.html

    Doing mistake and afterwards regretting has become hobby for almost everybody. These movie stars think they have everything. Those are lucky who know in their lives that where they are standing, they get a chance to think about it. Although I have left viewing movies since years but hearing this that Mr. Shahrukh Khan said such words I am feeling a personal grduge against him.
    He has crossed 40 and how much left he don’t know, infact nobody knows. Muslims are identifiable to others first by name and second by their actions. I know many Christians who are living amongs us changing their names to Muslim names and this ways they think they are getting benefit. I know a proven saying that a person who understand things can nevery left behind accepting Islam. Mr. Khan the name, money, family, etc. you are earning, can neither help you in this world nor the one to come. Do think about it, otherwise, the people who will go in heave would be delighted to see all one who are in hell and getting punishment.

    Dear Shah Rukh,
    I watched your address at the India Gate on sunday evening. While most of what you said was unexceptionable, your reference to Shaitans and Rakshas of all religions having started a new religion called “Aatankvad” is seriously flawed.Your grouping all religions together was to say the least, very unfair.
    The terrorists of judaism, Hinduism,Buddhism are very very few indeed and groups advocating such things are on the extreme fringe if at all.
    A Sadhvi Pragya Singh and Col. Purohit are a rare exception in an otherwise peace loving Hindu community in India, who have treated all other religions with greater accomodation than the otherwise around.
    Janata Vimukti perumuna, a buddhist organisation in Sri Lanka could have bred a few hot heads as a reaction to the tamil separatism.
    There was just one assasination of Israel’s PM by a an ultra jew, but beyond that we cannot think of any.
    The catholic and protestant terrorists too limit their activities to Northern Ireland, if that is what you are referring to.
    Sikhs had their share of Babbar Khalsa and the like, but mostly subsided.
    Jainism, taoism are not known to have produced any terrorist.
    Compare this with the Jihadism that is sweeping Af-Pak and spilling over to India…26/11 being its culmination.And this is continuing with scary possibilities ranging from another 26/11 to crude nukes.
    By grouping all religions in the matter of terrorism, you have done great injustice.The Deobandis, the Salafis and the Barelvis as well as the other socio-political muslim organisations will have to do a lot of searching their souls and ensure that their followers givce up this suicidal path….By laying equal blame on all religions, you make the jihadism look benign. This is a dangerous proposition. Please refrain from that….we must isolate these Jihadists, who too are a small minority, I concede, BUT they are a threat to world peace.

QUALITY QUOTES

One of the greatest juristic minds in the history of Islam. A Maliki jurist he was one of the most outstanding Faqih of the eighth century AH. He says that the Khilafah is an obligation and further states ‘in the absense of the khilafah, a state of anarchy and lawlessness would prevail and this would usher in a great corruption and disorder. And it is evident, that the establishment of the Din is quite impossible in a state of anarchy and disorder.’ — Abu Ishaq Ibrahim ibn Musa al-Shatibi (d. 790 AH)
