Recite that Book which has been revealed to you and establish Prayer. Surely Prayer prohibits indecency and impiety; and verily the remembrance of Allah is the greatest. And Allah knows whatever (deeds) you do. &nbsp;Surah Ankabut (29:45)</span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-size: 11pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><br /> In light of all this, a film, which has all kinds of indecencies, song and dance sequences, etc. should not be named &ldquo;Azaan.&rdquo; &nbsp;&nbsp;Islamic law does not permit it, logic does not support such a thing and neither is it correct as per the law of the land. &nbsp;Our country is a democracy. &nbsp;It cannot permit anyone to insult the religion of Islam. &nbsp;Thus, those at the helm should take legal steps to stop people from doing so.</span><br /> <br /> </span>
