A group of the Islamist fundamentalists targeted actor Shah Rukh Khan and his family for visiting the famous Sai Baba Temple in Shirdi.A Muslim fundamentalist who appeared visibly offended by SRK’s visit to Shirdi Sai Temple said the actor could not be considered as a Muslim but a Murtad and a Kafir.
Earlier this week, Jawan actor Shah Rukh Khan visited the Shirdi temple with his daughter Suhana Khan and offered prayers ahead of his upcoming theatrical release, Dunki. News agency ANI shared the video of the father-daughter duo entering the temple premises and later offering prayers inside the temple.
However, no sooner did visuals of SRK and his daughter paying their respects at the Shirdi Sai Temple appear on social media than a large number of Islamists took to X to castigate Shah Rukh Khan and declare him a murtad, kafir, etc. A barrage of despicable comments were made against the actor because he visited a Hindu temple despite being a Muslim.
It is worth noting that idol worshipping or idolatry is considered as an unpardonable sin as per Islamic texts and carries strict punishment. The Qur’an considers shirk as a sin that will not be forgiven if a person dies without repenting of it.

Murtad is an Islamic term for ‘apostasy’, which means an abandonment of a religious belief. Kafir, on the other hand, is a word used as a pejorative for non-Muslims.
Another X user said Shah Rukh Khan is not a Muslim because if he believed in Allah, he would have never visited a temple and pray there. According to Islamic scriptures, Muslims are prohibited from indulging in idolatory and idol worshipping is considered as a sin, forbidden in Islam.
