بنجلاديش: انتعاش سوق الكتب الإسلامية في رمضان

خبر من مصادر إنجليزية.

بالرغم من فرض حكومة "بنجلاديش" الموالية للهند حظرًا على بيع الكتب الإسلامية خلال الأعوام الماضية منذ 2007، أقبل المسلمون على شراء الكتب الدينية التي تضمنت التفاسير وكتب السُّنة، متغلبين على العراقيل الحكومية التي تعترض طريق تعرُّف المسلمين على المزيد من التعاليم الدينية.

وقد أشار بعض بائعي الكتب إلى أن المسلم الذي يشتري الكتب الدينية أو يمتلكها تتهمه الحكومة بالتطرف أو الأصولية، وهو ما حال بين المسلمين والاطلاع على القرآن وعلومه والسنة، إلا أن معرض الكتب الإسلامية الذي استضافه "مسجد بيت المكرم" المسجد القومي منَح المسلمين فرصة عظيمة خلال شهر رمضان للحصول على الكتب التي طال حرمانهم من اقتنائها؛ المصدر: شبكة الألوكة.

Islamic Books Boom in Bangladesh’s Ramadan

As Ramadan moon rose in the sky, Bangladeshi publishers of Islamic books, Qur’an and Hadith braced for a successful season where Muslims focus on purchasing Islamic literature, defying government restrictions imposed over the past years.

“I have been buying Qur’an, Hadith [Prophet’s sayings] and mainly spiritual Islamic literature around the year, but some obstructs has been created by the present government on Islamic literature,” Md. Zahedul Islam Tareque, Chief Operating Officer of a private commercial group, told OnIslam.net.

According to Tareque, the present Bangladeshi government has been imposing restrictions since 2007 on purchasing or selling Islamic books.

He claimed that police has harassed publishers and sellers for possessing Islamic literature accused of belonging to “terrorists” and “fundamentals”.

Due to such restrictions, he said that the people of Bangladesh have not been able to buy Qur’an and Hadith.

“If anybody buys Islamic literature, he will be harassed by the government administration and blamed as Islamic extremist and terrorist” Tareque claimed.

He added that that government should change her attitude and give the opportunity of freedom of press and opinion to all groups.

Tareque was speaking at the Islamic Book Fair organized in Dhaka at the south premises of Baitul Mukarram Mosque, the national mosque of Bangladesh.

Offering Bangladeshi’s a better chance to find Islamic literature, the book fair is expected to run from the first of Ramadan till its end.

“There is an ideological change in the Muslim mind and society in Bangladesh during Ramdan,” Mohammad Nuruzaman, an Islamic analyst, told OnIslam.net.

“So that most of the Muslim try to buy some Islamic books mainly Masala Masael books, meaning rules and regulations, related to the prayer and fasting and supplication,” he added.
