For information and necessary action
Your Excellency,
Subject: Either the Respectful Imam Maher should resign as Imam Haram or your embassy staff should be dismissed for a series of broken promises and lies to Muslims in Japan
I am a senior Pakistani Muslim living in Japan for the last 43 years involved in several Muslim affairs and Dawah activities in this country, I have met your late King Faisal in Japan and made him a request in writing, which he kindly accepted and implemented. At the initiative of your embassy, when Mr. Kurdi, now your country's Ambassador in Madrid, was just an officer in your embassy in Tokyo, I was invited by Rabitah Al-Alam-Al-Islami to visit your country along with the late Haji Umar Mita for getting approval of his Japanese translation by Saudi Ulama. I have met you twice in the Iftar Party
of American Ambassador in Tokyo during the last two Ramadhans and given my name card to Your Excellency.
Your Excellency, it is a matter of great regret that your embassy staff has been acting very irresponsibly and damaging the good reputation of Imam Kaaba by their broken promises and constant lies to the Muslims in Japan. Please investigate who is responsible for it. Whoever is responsible for it, he should be dismissed from his job to save the reputation of Islam, Muslims, your country and Imam Haram.
On Thursday, July 31, it was told to us by your Saudi staff that 4 to 7 p.m. time has been reserved for the Imam to go to Mustafa Mosque in Iwai. But when the said Mosque representatives came to receive Imam at 4 p.m., that promise was broken outright and a new fictitious promise was made that Imam will go after Maghreb. This 2nd promise was again broken and a 3rd fictitious promise was made that Imam will go there after Isha. As usual, this 3rd promise was also broken without any regrets. Imam was taken to Iraq Ambassador residence instead of Mustafa Mosque as promised. 500 people were ready to welcome Imam even after his finishing dinner with Iraq Ambassador. But they had to go back to their homes after waiting for over 5, 6 hours since Asr time, as again a new lie was invented that the respectful Imam is now very tired and a verse of Quran was quoted that "LA YUKALLEFULLAHO NAFSAN ILLAH USAAHA".
The tiredness of Imam was also a new lie, as the Imam was kept at the dinner table until midnight. Had your embassy staff any regard for fulfilling the promises made in the name of Imam, the dinner could have finished in 30 to 40 minutes or even in one hour. After that Imam could have gone to Mustafa Mosque and come back to his hotel by midnight. His tiredness was used a pretext, as he was kept at dinner until midnight. He could have come back by that time, if your embassy staff would have any regard for maintaining the respect and good reputation of Imam Haram to keep up his promises.
Your Excellency, you may be aware that in the first few verses of Surah ABASA WA TAWALLA, Allah has instructed our Prophet (PBUH) that he should pay more attention to a blind Muslim who wanted to hear his teachings instead of paying attention to the noble infidel leaders of Mecca. This applies to the decision of your staff cancelling 500 persons' gathering at Mustafa Mosque last night, who wanted to get Hidaya through Imam Haram. Eating and enjoying delicious dishes at the dinner invitation of Iraq Amabssador was given more importance. Instead of cancelling this merry-making party, they preferred to cancel the desire of 500 Muslims and their newly converted Japanese Muslim wives to get Hidaya through Imam Haram.
We have no answer to reply to the criticism of people that why the respectful Imam did not assert himself over the Saudi staff that his promises should not be broken? Why he allowed himself to be played as a toy in the hands of your embassy staff, whereas his personal reputation and responsibility was involved in the broken promises made in his name?
Now the converted Japanese Muslim wives and others are putting all this blame on the Imam. They are now taunting that what kind of Imam do you have, who could not keep his promise, whereas all Japanese Kafirs and infidels do not take the refuge of Insha-Allah to break any promise. Your embassy staff explained to me the meaning of Insha-Allah. It appears that these holy words are being used as a passport of breaking promises one after the other.
I will explain the details over the phone and/or ready to come to your embassy with my aggrieved friends, if you are prepared to investigate and take action in this connection. My phone No. is 09033566207.
Looking forward to your serious investigation of this matter, I remain,
Sincerely, Yours,
Hussain Khan, M.A. (Tokyo),
A 75-year old senior Muslim in Japan,
