Pasha : For believing Muslims, Quran is perfect for all the times to come. So to say the verses have lost meaning with time is bordering on blasphemy.
Justice Dhulia : Don't go that far. Commentators are saying their opinon.
Pasha : Not commentators, learned judges are saying.

Pasha : To say with the passage of time the verse has lost meaning...we believe in the God who created the time. Quran is not chronologically arranged at the time it was revealed.

Pasha says the commentaries are cited by the High Court in the wrong context. Some commentaries were transposed to the context of #Hijab.
8 Sept 2022 2:52 PM IST
Pasha : Opinions of commentators are cited, but even that does not support the conclusion, leave aside the verse.

Pasha referring to portions in the High Court judgment which says #Hijab is at best a cultural practice.
Pasha : This finding is not borne out by anything but it is the finding of the learned judges themselves.

Pasha : There are a couple of ther misquotations in the High Court judgment which I wish to point out.
Pasha : Nothing in the footnotes extracted by the High Court is contrary to the case I am making.

Pasha : Quran is the word of God and belief in the word of God is the first precondition for being a Muslim.
8 Sept 2022 2:45 PM IST
Justice Dhulia : But is it not a contradiction in terms, because. Quran says there is no compulsion in religion.
Pasha : These are spiritual acts for which punishment is in afterlife. There is no temporal punishment .
8 Sept 2022 2:44 PM IST
Pasha : The High Court says Hijab is not mandatory due to absence of prescription of penance or penalty. That is a misunderstanding. There is no temporal punishment for a spiritual disobedience. Religion has spiritual implications for after life.
8 Sept 2022 2:42 PM IST
Pasha cites the following verse. Says the footnote about jilbab has been transposed to the verse about hijab by the High Court.
Pasha : Therefore, it is on a misreading of this footnote that the High Court concludes that wearing of Hijab is recommendatory.
