D

ear KK, 

 

Thank you for highlighting the meaning of DEEPAM.. We Muslims believe in ONE GOD(ALLAH) and we believe ALLAH created all that exists including mankind, animals, jinns and natural universe and associating partners with ALLAH is a Great Sin... To prove that ALLAH has sent many messengers to this earth, the prophets of God conveyed the message of oneness of God and we should worship him alone and not take created things as God. Fire is a creation of God, When we ask or worship the Fire. We ourselves are putting in more danger of going far away from God. Quran is the book which is given to Prophet Muhammad pbuh, the last and final messenger of ALLAH. Quran is still the same without any concoction or addition from that time. We should read the QURAN (quranproject website for better understanding) to undestand and PONDER on its Verses. If U are honest YOU will see the guidance from ALLAH... Lord of the universe. I wish YOu worship NA TASYA PRATIMA ASTI (The god that has no image) . Worship the CREATOR not his creation.

 

I think MUSLIM leaders should honestly say the TRUTH to those who want them to light the DEEPAM and stay away from such rituals... If U think U will not get vote from hindus....Then think all hearts are controlled by Allah. Its easy for ALLAH. Atleast be HONEST and help the community.

Deepam - Lighting the lamp. 

 

HINDUS while performing puja , prayer or any religious function light the deepam. It is the starting of the prayer.

These ghee or oil lamps, called Diyas, are meant for performing Puja according to Hindu customs and rituals.The reason for lighting a lamp or deepam is - Fire is the conveyor of our prayers & sacrifices to the Gods. Fire is also a God of divine knowledge, who leads man to the Gods. He was one of the most important Vedic Gods.

Vedic rituals all involve Agni. Agni is present in many phases of life such as honoring of a birth , prayers , at weddings - the homam where the bride and groom circle the fire seven times known as sapta padi. During death also, fire is required.

Agni is the one who knows all things that are born, created or produced. He is the God of will-power, united with wisdom.By lighting a deepam , fire enables human beings to cultivate strong conviction and belief in God. It helps to develop a meaningful faith and deep devotion to support a dedicated mind towards God.

Before starting our daily prayers, we light the Oil deepam by chanting a shloka

Mangaluru, Dec 7: A 34-year-old fruit and vegetable trader in Mangaluru has reportedly lost ₹33.1 lakh after falling victim to an online investment scam run through a fake mobile app.

Police said the scam began in September, when the victim received a link on Facebook. Clicking it connected him to a WhatsApp number, where an unidentified person introduced a high-return investment scheme and instructed him to download an app.

To build trust, the fraudster asked him to invest ₹30,000 on September 24. The trader soon received ₹34,000 as “profit,” convincing him the scheme was genuine. Over the next two months, he transferred money in multiple instalments via Google Pay and IMPS to different scanner codes and bank accounts shared by the scammers. Between September 24 and December 3, he ended up sending a total of ₹33.1 lakh.

When he later requested a refund of his investment and promised returns, the scammers demanded additional payments, claiming he needed to pay a “service tax” first. Even after he paid a small amount, no money was returned, and the scammers continued pressuring him for more.

A case has been registered at the CEN Crime Police Station.
