Lawa ma-paraghraps alandelayo akhethwe esitatimendeni sika-Mahatma Gandhi, abangewona amaSulumane, ababekholelwa ku-Allâhu ta'âlâ futhi bebabaza i-Islam; lezi zitatimende zibonisa imibono yakhe Islam.
Mahatma Gandhi (Mohandas Karam-chand) (1285 [CE 1869]-1367 [CE 1948]) ivela emndenini wamaKrestu waseNtshonalanga Indian. Uyise wayengumfundisi omkhulu wedolobha lasePorbtandar, futhi wayecebe kakhulu. UGandhi wazalelwa edolobheni lasePorbtandar. Waya eBrithani ngemfundo yakhe yasesikoleni esiphakeme. Ngemva kokuphothula izifundo zakhe wabuyela eNdiya. Ngo-1893 wathunyelwa eNingizimu Afrika yifemu yaseNdiya. Lapho ebona isimo esinzima amaNdiya ayesebenza ngaphansi kwaso kanye nempatho engenabuntu ngokuphelele, wanquma ukufaka umzabalazo ukuze kuthuthukiswe amalungelo awo ezombusazwe. Wazinikela kubantu baseNdiya. Ngesikhathi eqhuba umkhankaso onamandla wokulwa nohulumeni waseNingizimu Afrika wokuvikela amalungelo amaNdiya, waboshwa wagqunywa ejele. Nokho akazange alokothe ayeke umzabalazo. Wahlala e-Afrika kwaze kwaba ngu-1914. Khona-ke, wawuyeka umsebenzi wakhe owawumzuzisa kakhulu lapho, wabuyela eNdiya ukuze aqhubeke nomzabalazo wakhe. Ulwe umzabalazo ngokubambisana ne Ubunye bamaSulumane baseNdiya, amaSulumane ayeyisungule ngo-1906 ukuze akhulule iNdiya. Yonke impahla yakhe kanye nekayise wayichitha ukuze kuthuthukiswe lesi sizathu.
Lapho ezwa ukuthi amaNgisi azokwethula umkhankaso wesibili wobudlova nonya olufana nalolo ayelwenzile esifundeni sasePunjab ngo-1274 [AD 1858], wabambisana namaSulumane, wanxenxa abangani bakhe ukuba bahoxe ebuthweni. inkonzo, futhi wenza umbhikisho buthule kanye nokumelana nokungenzi lutho. Ngokusonga indwangu emhlophe emzimbeni wakhe onqunu futhi aneliseke ngobisi lwembuzi ayelokhu elugcinele yena, wathwala kanzima. Ukusabela kokuqala kwamaNgisi kwaba ukumhleka. Nokho, akuzange kubathathe isikhathi eside ukubona ngokumangala nangokudumala ukuthi le ndoda, eyayikholelwa imibono yayo ngenhliziyo yayo yonke futhi eyayizimisele ukudela bonke ubukhona bayo ngokushiseka ngenxa yezwe layo, yayikanye nezwe lonke. I-India idonsa futhi inomsindo ngomzabalazo wakhe ongakhulumi. Ukumfaka ejele kwaba nhlanga zimuka nomoya. Imizamo kaGandhi yaholela ekutheni i-India ithole inkululeko yayo. AmaHindu amqamba igama elithi 'Mahatma', okusho ukuthi 'ubusisiwe'.
UGandhi wafunda inkolo yamaSulumane kanye neQur'ân al-kerîm ngokucophelela futhi ekugcineni wazithola eyithanda ngobuqotho i-Islam. Okulandelayo ukuphawula kwakhe mayelana nalesi sihloko:
“AmaSulumane awakaze azitike ngobandlululo ngisho nangezikhathi zobukhulu nokunqoba okukhulu. I-Islam iyalela ukuhlonishwa koMdali woMhlaba kanye nemisebenzi Yakhe. Njengoba iNtshonalanga yayisebumnyameni obesabekayo, inkanyezi ekhazimulayo ye-Islam eyayikhanya eMpumalanga yaletha ukukhanya, ukuthula nokukhululeka emhlabeni ohluphekayo. Inkolo yamaSulumane ayiyona inkolo eguquguqukayo. Lapho amaHindu efunda lenkolo ngenhlonipho efanele, nawo, ayoba nozwelo olufanayo nolwami lobuSulumane. Ngizifundile izincwadi ezikhuluma ngempilo yomProfethi we-Islam kanye neyalabo ababesondelene naye. Lezi zincwadi zangenza ngaba nesithakazelo esikhulu, kangangokuthi lapho ngiqeda ukuzifunda ngazisola ngokuthi zingasekho. Ngifinyelele esiphethweni sokuthi ukusabalala kwe-Islam ngokushesha akubanga ngenkemba. Kunalokho, kwakungenxa yobulula bayo, ukuba nengqondo, isizotha esikhulu somProfethi wayo, ukuba yiqiniso kwakhe ezithembisweni zakhe kanye nokwethembeka kwakhe okungenamkhawulo kuwo wonke amaSulumane okwenza abantu abaningi bamukele i-Islam ngokuzithandela.
“I-Islam iyichithile impilo yezindela. E-Islam akekho ongangenela phakathi kuka-Allâhu ta'âlâ nesigqila saKhe esizelwe. I-Islam iyinkolo eyala ubulungiswa bezenhlalakahle kusukela ekuqaleni. Akukho sikhungo phakathi koMdali nodaliwe. Noma ubani ofunda iKur'ân al-kerîm, [okungukuthi izincazelo zayo nezincwadi ezibhalwe izazi zamaSulumane], uzofunda imiyalo ka-Allâhu ta'âlâ futhi uzomlalela. Akukho ukuvimba phakathi kuka-Allâhu ta'âlâ kanye naye kulokhu. Nakuba izinguquko eziningi ezingenanzuzo zenziwa ebuKristwini ngenxa yamaphutha abo, ubuSulumane abuzange bube nezinguquko, futhi bulondoloza ubumsulwa babo obumsulwa. UbuKristu buntula umoya wentando yeningi. Isidingo sokuhlomisa leyo nkolo ngenqubo yentando yeningi siye sadinga ukwanda kwentshiseko yobuzwe yamaKristu kanye nezinguquko ezihambisana nakho.”
