Khalid Duran is a true Muslim

I would only be too delighted to offer my contribution, of whatever little help or assistance possible, on my behalf, to speak out my mind, in regard of Khalid Duran. He´s more and proper Muslim than anybody known to me in my life. His Islamic ideology is not only according to correct Islam, but also peaceful and constructive as well. Who would´ve known him better than my person, who had been his friend and partner for many years in Pakistan and later in Germany. I read quite many opinions of different sources about Mr. Duran, which´re not only ridiculous, but also based on jealousy, propaganda and rivalry against him.

No doubt, we both had to part under conflicting circumstances, due to our personal differences, Duran had been a well-wisher and true friend to me up until his last human capacity. I can´t put in words how much it hurts me to witness distorted jealousy propaganda against him, e g. Dahlte Saaye. The author of this book is known to me, was known to Duran too, right through Pakistan. How on earth he, who knows Duran so well could utter such stories, which´re based on rumours coming along his way, and which he sums up in the given form. I wonder, why the author of Dahlte Saaye, never told any truth about his personal life. I know, it´s always easy not to wash your own dirty linen in public. Khalid is a universally acknowledged scholar of a gigantic nature, a unique personality and a super humane person.

I wish him all the best and a healthy long life,

Nasrin Faruqi-Das
