“Allah ki den”…
Last week, Bismillah, a 40-yr old woman in Nuh, Mewat gave birth to her 23rd child.
The father, 50-yr old Mohammad Ishaq, neither remembers the names of his 23 kids nor recognises all of them…and yet, is “all set to welcome his 24th child next year”
Speaking to MiD DAY*, a happy and delighted father, Mohammad Ishaq said:
“Yeh toh sab Allah ki den hai, agar hamara chaubiswa baccha agle sal hua toh woh bhi hum Allah ki den samjhenge. (All this is Allah’s gift. If we get a 24th child next year, we will welcome it too)”
Is anybody listening? Seems to me that at the very least, Mohammad Ishaq needs a crash course in human biology.
On a more serious note, according to this report by MDA, “for Muslim women in Mewat, the literacy rate ranges 1.76 % to 2.13 %, the lowest in the country“.
No wonder that the “Allah ki den” sentiment appears to be fairly prevalent in the region:
“…The sarpanch and the chairperson of the Halugo panchayat, Ms. Jamila and Ms. Maina, are the ones who are setting examples by limiting their families and urging others to restrict theirs. They have no hold over men, they admit. Neither do they have on women who believe that having as many children as they can is a gift of god (Allah ki daen).”
Any more doubts as to why female literacy needs to be a national priority?

Does any of Bismillah’s child holds a future? Did this man ever realised how he’s going to feed so many mouths and educate them?
Allah to deta hi rahega par lene wale ko apne daaman ka size bhi to dekhna chahiye???
Well UP govt. should look out for such people and force family planning on them to stop them from bringing more children into the world who have uncertain future.
But the shame is that no one in the govt. dares to point a finger on such people or they’ll lose their vote banks.
No matter what our secular fanatics say, the muslims in India, (like almost all over world) have a deepily set mad ambition in their psyche to increase their numerical strength as much as possible, as soon as possible.
This family is actually doing their bit for the JIHAD by producing abundent raw materiel for Osama’s assembly-line engaged in producing suicide-bombers

this is the correct link to the above news item.. plz update.
They are wonderfully carrying out their mission, which is to make the world filled with Islam and its children. While Hindus, get converted, lose their religin or just get outnumbered, these people keep on increasing in number. As the situation progresses, Hindus start moving out of these areas where Muslims/Christians have increased further making it a Muslim majority area. The local politicians wonderfully play the religion card while calling themselves “Secular” to make sure that any remaining Hindu is conveniently made to leave or killed.
We were present from Afghanistan to Burma. At independence, we were present from Pakistan to Bangladesh interspersed with Muslims. We are being pushed inside from the East by illegals. We are being converted from within to dwindle our numbers. And we have to face the other side which multiplies at an average rate of 4 children per Muslim household. Hindus have no chance , if we remain as we are.
Kash: Thanks for the correct link.
the UP govt will most definitely take notice…. not to enforce family planning. but becos just targetting one family alone will givee them 20 votes in elections…. mind you all this from one wife… god only knows being a virtuous muslim if he had embraced the saudi tradition of 4 wives the father might be walking the red carpet into thee guiness book of records…
such men shud be forcibly castrated. mulayam singh yadav might disagree and might bestow the fertility award on him though.
HA HA HA HA! Boo Hoo Sob.. Sob..
I know not whether I should smile or weep looking at the quality of this blog. There is a standard pattern on post’s here. Mr. Shantanu ‘The Enlightened’ puts up a post, and a whole army of conformist dunces follow up with “oh yes your right” comments. It doesn’t stop there. Each conformist conforms to the previous conformist’s view as well, sometimes adding a tuppence of his own. The site should be renamed “conformeva-jayate.org”. Nobody questions anyone or anything. B Shantanu is going through a lot of trouble to compile irrelevant information and all he’s getting are programmed robotic readers with nothing more than a conformist opinion.
Some unschooled fool called Mohammed Ishaq gives birth to 23 kids, takes Allah’s name in the process and lo! It is as if the Quran has clearly stated in some verse, “Ye who follow Islam, should use their wives as incubating machines and keep making children for the rest of your life” and it is the equivalent of Muslims taking over the country…
Is this the level of maturity that this blog exudes?
If I follow your feeble-minded ideology, then I can also say that since Hindus massacred 845 Muslims (according to govt. sources) in Gujarat, this means that all Hindus want to eliminate the entire Muslim population from India.
But I will not. I have been brought up with Hindus, Sikhs and Christians and have had the best times of my life with them.
I will not put up a post on my blog about Moninder Singh Pandher, say that all Sikhs are paedophiles that rape young children and eat their body parts, and that everyone should stay away from Sikh people. I will not conclude that Moninder’s faith is what made him do these things. I will say Moninder is a mentally-retarded person, a microscopic bacteria compared to another mentally-deranged lowlife called Osama Bin Laden who in turn is microscopic virus compared to George W. Bush. I will say that Sikhism, Islam and Christianity have nothing to do with Pandher, Bin Laden and Bush respectively.
Kash has told you to update the post, by giving you the correct link. If you had the slightest bit of integrity and honesty in you, you would have updated the post by including the following in connection from the same article:
________________________
Silver lining
Thankfully, there are some in the village, who believe in a small family. Tayal Hussain (20), who married three years ago, has only one child.
He says, “I read regional papers and have understood the benefits of a small family.” Another youth Asif Mohammad (20) says, “The villagers do not understand the benefits of a small family. I will work for a year and only then decide to start a family.”
__________________________
But you did not. Because you lack character or commitment in verifying your sources. And if you say that you did not have time to do it, in spite of Kash offering you the link, and your acknowledging it, then you are even more vile and malicious than what I thought.
And Mr. Shriram,
if you only cared to read the article that Kash gave the link for, then you would not say that ” ‘THEY’ are wonderfully carrying out their mission, which is to make the world filled with Islam and its children” because if you care to read the above, you will will know that THEY are having one child and stopping too.”
But you did not read the article, why? Because in keeping with the tradition of this site, you are another “conformist-dunce”.
IF you read the article and even then said what you have written above, then you are even more depraved than B Shantanu ‘The Enlightened one’.

Unfortuately while moving several comments between the posts today, I deleted my response to Mohammed’s comment above.
I am reproducing it from memory:
*********************************************
Mohammed,
Yes, there is a pattern to this blog and the posts. They are all devoted to “Bharat” and “Dharma”.
As for this being a compilation of irrelevant information, this is personal blog. You are free not to read it.
Please also be careful with your words. Nowhere in my post did I use the phrase, “….Quran has clearly stated in some verse” etc or “…it is the equivalent of Muslims taking over the country…”
The reason for highlighting the “Allah ki den” phrase was that the sentiment appears widespread amongst the population in the region – as evident by the second reference I gave – which is from a news story from 2001.
The comparison with Moninder Singh Pandher is misplaced as he has never claimed that he did what he did following the orders of Sikh Gurus or because it was written in the Granth Sahib. But do you agree that a large number of terrorist acts around the world are carried out in the name of Islam.
But Mohammed you missed (or chose to ignore) the most important bit in the post – which was the conclusion: “Any more doubts as to why female literacy needs to be a national priority?”
Why did I not use the words Islam, Muslim, or Muslim women here? Did I forget?
No, it was because such beliefs are hardly exclusive to Muslim women in Mewat. In fact, they are prevalent within large sections of our society – amongst Muslims as well as Hindus and hence it is the “education of women” per se that needs to be a priority rather than just Muslim women.
As for my integrity, honesty, lack of character or commitment or me being “vile and malicious”, you are free to draw your own conclusions. I am not going to dignify that with a response.
P.S. Please avoid gratuitous references to my readers. In future I may be forced to edit/delete such remarks.
P.P.S. Just realised that the Tayal Hussain whom you quote in “silver lining” has been married for three years although he is only 20. Isnt the legal age for marriage in India (for males) 21 years?
Guys, The article is written about an unusual feat (or however you want to describe this biological achievement) accomplished by a couple. It is a shame that people want to give a religious colour for the whole thing and write unnecessary and unwarranted comments with an intention to pour poison to the whole matter. Look at the bright side of it. The children are healthy. The couple is confident to make it 2 dozen by next year. Don’t worry about feeding these children or about their education. You rather worry about your own daily bread and your children’s education.
If you believe in God you will realize what the man said about Allah’s Den. Absolutely nothing happens without God’s will. This is happened by the will of God Almighty. Anyone want to contest it and say that “NO, Mohammad Ishaq has managed it without God’s will” ?
Let us hope and pray for these children to become responsible Indian citizens.
