# Indians Step on Saudi Flag With Shahada and Pakistani Flag Pasted on Road in Uttar Pradesh

A video from the Kareli area of Prayagraj is circulating widely on social media, showing a group of Hindu men walking over two flags deliberately pasted onto a public road—one being the Saudi Arabian flag and the other the national flag of Pakistan.

The Saudi flag prominently displays the Kalima or Shahadah, the Islamic declaration of faith, which holds religious significance for Muslims.

The act, seen as a targeted provocation, has drawn widespread condemnation from Muslim communities, religious scholars, and civil society members. In the footage, individuals can be seen intentionally stepping on the flags while others film and observe.

The Kalima, or Shahadah, translates to: “There is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.”

This statement is the most sacred expression in Islam—it is the first pillar of the religion and the foundation of a Muslim’s belief system. Uttering the Kalima sincerely is what makes one a Muslim; it is recited during daily prayers, in sermons, at birth, and at death.

For Muslims, any form of disrespect toward the Kalima is not just offensive—it is spiritually injurious and deeply painful.
