Sanatan Dharma, often referred to as the eternal religion, is celebrated not just in words but also in the hearts of those who earnestly seek to understand its depth. A recent incident from Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh, sheds light on this enduring appeal. Two Muslim youths, namely Ajizul Hasan and Allarakha, who held faith in Sanatan Dharma, embraced it and did ‘Ghar Wapsi’ along with Vedic rituals and customs.
Both Ajizul Hasan and Allarakha made their return to Sanatan Dharma by doing ‘Ghar Wapsi’ on April 6, expressing that their belief in its principles had been ingrained since childhood, culminating in their decision to fully embrace the faith.
Their transition back to Sanatan Dharma by ‘Ghar Wapsi’ was facilitated by Hindu organisations, underscoring a collaborative effort to uphold religious freedom and spiritual exploration.
Notably, Ajizul Hasan hails from Ashoknagar district within the state. Following his return to Sanatan Dharma, he chose to adopt the name Anay Thakur. Ajizul shared that his formative years were spent at Saraswati Shishu Mandir in Jabalpur, where he imbibed teachings of religious tolerance and the values of Sanatan Dharma. Inspired by these teachings, he made a conscious decision to transition back to Sanatan Dharma and do ‘Ghar Wapsi’, relinquishing his previous affiliation with Islam.
Similarly, Allarakha Khan, also a resident of Jabalpur, embraced Sanatan Dharma, did ‘Ghar Wapsi’ and adopted the name Vijay Chauhan. Hindu organisations reflected on the historical aspect, asserting that both Christians and Muslims in India were once adherents of Hinduism, having undergone conversions for various reasons.
However, those who reconnect with the lineage of their ancestors find themselves drawn back to the timeless wisdom and spirituality of Sanatan Dharma, embarking on a journey of rediscovery and reconnection with their cultural and religious roots.
Last month, Hina from Sitapur, Uttar Pradesh, recently converted from Islam to Sanatan Dharma and married Mahesh after ‘Ghar Wapsi’, adopting the name Sangita. Troubled by recent events in Badaun, where two children were murdered, she decided to leave Islam and embrace Sanatan Dharma. Hina and Mahesh, who had known each other for some time, married according to Hindu customs at the Kali Mata temple.
Similarly, Uzma from Shahjahanpur also returned to Sanatan Dharma, did ‘Ghar Wapsi’ and married Anil, taking the name Meera. They exchanged vows in Delhi, surrounded by blessings from Anil’s relatives.
