Controversy Erupts Over Salman Khan's 'Ram Edition' Watch

Maulana Shahabuddin Razvi, president of the All India Muslim Jamaat, labeled Bollywood star Salman Khan's wearing of a 'Ram Edition' watch as 'haram'—forbidden in Islam—stating it promotes the Ram Mandir. Razvi urged Khan to avoid actions deemed un-Islamic and to repent for such activities.

Bollywood actor Salman Khan has come under fire from Maulana Shahabuddin Razvi, president of the All India Muslim Jamaat, for wearing a 'Ram Edition' watch, which he claims promotes the Ram Mandir. Razvi has declared the act as 'haram' or forbidden within Islamic law.

In a statement released on Friday, Maulana Razvi said that several inquiries had been made to him regarding the Islamic perspective on Khan's choice. Razvi noted that as a Muslim celebrity with a large following, Khan should avoid actions deemed un-Islamic.

The Maulana emphasized that such actions are against Shariat, and as a prominent Indian figure, Salman Khan should refrain from activities that are considered un-Islamic. He urged Khan to reflect and repent for his actions.
