A fake Peer Baba called Abul Rzzak has been arrested in Baramulla, Jammu and Kashmir for cheating people, especially deceiving Muslim women by promising them ‘Jannat Ka Rasta’ (road to heaven). As per reports, Abdul Razzak had built a black structure designed like the Kaaba in Saudi Arabia on his land and was claiming to be a ‘Paigambar'( messenger of God) to the locals.
Locals have reported that the fake Peer Abdul Razzak used to smoke charas and ganja inside the black structure and promise all sorts of spiritual insight to deceive women, who used to seek his ‘advise’ in large numbers.
Abdul Razzak had reportedly claimed to locals that he is a reincarnation of Sufi saint Noordin Noorani, and he has divine powers. Deceived ny his claims, a large number of Muslim women in the area had started following him.
From his curious black hut that he had designed like an Islamic religious structure, Razzak used to distribute ‘Tabeez’ (amulets) to locals, with promises of healing powers. The local people who reported him added that he is a cannabis addict and his wife had left him.
Abdul Razzak had claimed before locals that Allah has ordered him to build a replica of the Kaaba in Mecca in Baramulla. He had added that the duplicate Kaaba would be for poor Muslims who are unable to travel to Mecca. He had already started the construction of the duplicate Kaaba. However, following complaints, some jounalists were alerted to his plans. The journalists met Razzak pretending to be his followers and sought information on the duplicate Kaaba.
Following a social media video where the plans of Razzak were exposed by the journalists, local villagers gathered and attacked his fake masjid. The police were alerted to arrest Abdul Razzak while locals set the fake mosque on fire. Razzak has been described as ‘mentally ill’ by some persons too.
Maulanas in Kashmir have announced that the fake mosque built by Razzak is un-Islamic and cannot be allowed under Islamic law.
