Ayodhya, India - Dec. 6, 1992

Among the fears of lakhs [hundreds of thousands] of Kar Sevaks who had gathered to demolish the Babri Masjid, few furiously climbed on the majestic minaret of the mosque. The most important among the few were Shiva Sainiks. A resident of Faisabad, where Ayodhya is situated, Shiva Prasad was the captain of Bajrang Dal. He was given the responsibility to guide four thousand Kar Sevaks in the demolition of mosque.

Shiva Prasad gave training to four thousand people under him, on how to carry the demolition. On seeing the majestic minarets of the mosque come down Captain Prasad was overjoyed and shouted the "Ram! Ram!" This happened seven years ago.

On December 6, 1999 the same Shiva Prasad was seeking forgiveness from Allah for his cruel act seven years back. This 6 Dec.1999 he was fasting (non-obligatory) and regretting for the act with tears and was seeking forgiveness from Allah in his prayers. Yes! Shiva Prasad has embraced Islam. He has changed his name to Mohammed Mustafa. One will be moved to learn how he embraced Islam.

This change in Shiva Prasad's heart was published by Malayalam News (7.12.99) issued by "Arab News Publications" in Saudi Arabia. Shiva Prasad's father Trigal Ramanathan was chief among the heads of Sangh Parivar. His whole family was actively involved in demolishing the Babri Masjid.

Soon after the demolition of the mosque, Shiva prasad felt a depression in his heart. He had no peace of mind. He felt that he had committed a great sin. In 1997 he went to Sharjah, UAE in order to seek employment. But even at work his mind was restless.

On Dec. 4, 1998 as he was walking along the streets of Sharjah, he happened to hear a speech before Friday prayer held in a mosque which was in Hindi. When he heard the speech, which he felt was something different. He wanted to listen the complete speech. That message about Allah created a revolution in his rest less mind. He continued to listen to such speeches thereafter. The revolution in his heart was completed.

All praise is to Allah! Allah has shown him the right path. He has forfeited the ignorance and chosen the righteous path. When Shiva Prasad embraced Islam he was driven out by his family members who were strong RSS activists. He is praying Allah that his family members should also choose the righteous path as he did. Shiva Prasad says that among those who led the demolition on the spot were Ashok Singhal and Advani. On the day of demolition the police and CRPF connived with the leaders of BJP, Bajrang Dal and RSS. Both these law enforcing agencies greatly helped in the demolition.

He recalls that on that day Ashok Singhal dressed himself in military uniform and gave orders. He also recalls, soon after the demolition of the mosque they entered the Muslim areas in the Faizabad and shouted "Jai Shriram". Now, Shiva Prasad is receiving continuous threats from RSS, BJP and Bajrang Dal. Sangh Parivar has threatened to kill if he returns to India. But Mohammed Mustafa (Ex- Shiva Prasad) says firmly that he will never turn away from Islam - the righteous path even if death comes his way.

Having learnt 17 Surahs in the Holy Qur'an, he is anxious to learn whole of the Holy Qur'an. His ambition is to become a true Islamic preacher and bring ignorant people to light. If Allah wishes, his ambition will be fulfilled and the very same hands which demolished the Babri Masjid will built up again.

ALL PRAISE TO ALLAH, The most Beneficent & merciful
