Islam is a religion of principles, morality and spiritual purity, who has ruined it?

 I was returning from the Sundarbans in the 2014/15 bus that was set on fire during the strike and blockade. Along with a group of local and foreign naturalist photographers who were participating in the seventh "Ten Day Sundarban Diversity Tour" organized by me. The foreigners were Germans and Austrians. I boarded the ferry on the Padma without any problems. Our microbus was the first car on the first ferry. An AC bus stopped next to it, reserved, a bus full of local and foreign Huzoors.

We went to the highest floor of the ferry to see the appearance of the Padma. My two German experts had beards on their faces. Seeing that, a strong Huzoor from the leader group came very close to me and looked at them with narrowed eyes and said, "Are they  Muslim or not?" I said why? Why would you become a Muslim? Huzoor said, "I have a beard." I was a little annoyed and said, does having a beard make you a Muslim? Islam is a 1400-year-old thing, before that people didn't have beards? The Christian prophet Jesus Christ also had a beard, and the Jewish prophet Moses also had a beard. My strong argument did not go down well with Huzoor. Huzoor got angry and said, "What? Islam is 1400 years old? Astakfirullah, Islam is from the time of Adam, the rest are all devils. I said then who is the prophet of Christians? Who is their God? Huzoor said "Satan", I said who is the prophet of Jews? Who is their God? Huzoor said "Satan". I said have you read the Quran? Huzoor said "I have read it, it is in the Quran". There were forty of them and I was alone, and I did not have the courage to speak further.

I heard a funny story about a hat and a brain when I was young. When Allah Almighty decided that He wanted the prayers of His servant and wanted to create a human being. That human being would get life, would decide for himself whether he was good or bad and if he sinned he would go to hell and if he did good he would go to heaven. A factory was then built in the sky, there was a lot of chaos. Hands were being made somewhere, legs were being made somewhere, skulls somewhere, brains somewhere. The angels worked overtime in all three shifts. They are doing this to keep the rhythm of the production line on time. In the last step, Allah Almighty is filling the brain with His own hands in the skull of each beloved servant and then the skull is sealed and delivered. At that time, the chief production angel came running and said in a hoarse voice to the great creator, there has been a mistake in the calculation, the brain is seen to be less. Then another intelligent angel gave the wisdom to continue with the next ones a little less and it will be fine. But the creator did not listen. Because if the brain is less, their judgment and consideration power in the world will decrease, they will know the mistake, make mistakes and eventually go to hell. This is unfair. Then the devil gave the wisdom to put a hat on their head and you will know who they are. On the day of reckoning, you can compensate for it by looking at the hat. The solution was achieved.

In our childhood, we saw that the followers of religion were truly pious. Not by clothes, but by principles and morality, who was pious and who was a sinner. Those who wore hats and played factions Even then, it was a source of laughter and laughter. Those messages would come out in these jokes. It did not hurt their religious feelings. They understood the message inside it and became more purified themselves. Islam is not a religion of clothes based on observance of rituals, Islam is a religion of principles, morality and spiritual purity, who has ruined it?
