My name is Khan

I just watched a movie entitled “ My Name is Khan” directed by Karan Johar, Starring Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol. Its not a new movie but for those who haven’t watch it I strongly recommend that you do so. It is a very inspiring story that makes us rethink who we really are and purpose of religion’s existence which is to create love and unity.

The story is about Ridzan Khan, who is a muslim man from India that moved to San Francisco to live with his brother and sister-in-law. He is born with Aspergers Syndrome. It was there that he fall in love with Mandira who is a divorced mom with a son. They got married and started a happy family. But everything changed after the 9/11 attack on the world trade centre which cause the death of their son due to the conflict between the two world great religion. The inspiring story then goes on where Ridzan Khan finds his way throughout America to meet the President of the United States to deliver 1 message.

What touches me is that it brings us to see the true nature of man where we were all born to love one another and that religion exist to bring about peace and unity. A Great Teacher once said :

Man has forsaken the foundation of divine religion and adhered to blind imitations. Each nation has clung to its own imitations, and because these are at variance, warfare, bloodshed and destruction of the foundation of humanity have resulted. True religion is based upon love and agreement. Bahá’u’lláh has said, “If religion and faith are the causes of enmity and sedition, it is far better to be nonreligious, and the absence of religion would be preferable; for we desire religion to be the cause of amity and fellowship. If enmity and hatred exist, irreligion is preferable.”
