Sikhs Honour Muslim Youth On Completion Of I’tikaf In Pulwama.

In a shining example of communal harmony, an elderly Sikh in south Kashmir honored a Muslim youth after completing his Aetikaaf (I’tikaf) in the last ten days of Ramadan in Pulwama.

Aetikaaf is a meritorious voluntary act. It derives from a word meaning ‘to stay in one place.’ It is best done in the last ten days of Ramadan since the Prophet did that. Linguistically it means devotion to a thing and sticking to it.

The youth identified as Waseem Ahmed, a resident of the Padibal area of Tral in south Kashmir’s Pulwama district was greeted by the Sikh community after completion of Aetikaaf in a Tral mosque.

Karnail Singh (80) revered alike by both the Muslim and Sikh communities honored Waseem by tying a ‘Dastaar’ over his head.

The video posted by Mufti Islah, a senior Kashmiri journalist has gone viral over social media. “The village has a mixed population – 12 Sikh and 18 Muslim households,” Mufti Islah said.

The netizens describe it as a kind gesture by the Sikhs and a glowing example of communal harmony among Muslims and Sikhs
