Jurisdiction

Sarmad was very sensitive. Strength of his sentiments had made him a poet and depth of his feelings a mystic. That is what brought him closer to Prince Dara Shakoh.

After eliminating his brother Dara Shikoh, Mughal King Auragnzeb Alamgir turned towards his associates. Auragnzeb instructed Sarmad to do away with his viewpoints that to him were not right. Sarmad was very casual about his dress and was advised to take care of his attire. Sarmad did not bother.
Later, Auragnzeb sentenced Sarmad to death after acquiring a verdict from the Mullahs. When the Royal Police came to apprehend Sarmad for execution he ran in to the mosque.

“Stop there,” he ordered the soldiers who were following.
“Why,” asked the leading constable.
“Because I am out of the Mughal kingdom, go tell him,” he commanded.

But he was arrested and put to death.

This is very traumatic for people. There is nothing safer than the mosque for any one, provide the Owner of the house also wishes so.

This should be enough for human satisfaction.

  3. Sarmad is one of the most important sons of India.He was neither Jew nor Hindu or Muslim.He was just a sufi and humanist.Aurangzeb,the one of the most ruthless kings of India, executed him just because Sarmad was the preacher of love,humanity and peace while Aurangzeb was the preacher of extremism,cruelity and tease.
    LONG LIVE SARMAD!
    DOWN WITH AURANGZEB!

  4. Sarmad was a Persian or Armenian Jew who came to Delhi in early 18th century as a trader. Sarmad was responsible for a translation of the Torah into Persian, and wrote the chapter on Judaism for a book of comparative religion, the Dabistan, commissioned by Dara Shikoh. (A reference on Sarmad: Walter Fishel’s “Jews and Judaism at the Court of the Mugal Emperors in Medieval India,” Islamic Culture, 25:105-31.) [Source]
