Question

Religious tolerance and blending traditions was not something everyone in the Mughal Empire wanted to encourage. One of those who found blending Islamic and Hindu traditions distasteful was the Muslim theologian Shaykh Ahmad Sirhindi. Shaykh Ahmad believed that under the rule of Akbar, Islam in the Indian subcontinent was drifting toward pantheism. By this, he meant many different forms of religious practice were being accepted. He was outraged by the ways Muslims were participating in Hindu holidays that worshiped gods other than the Allah. And Shaykh Ahmad was not alone. There were some Muslims in Southeast Asia who felt that the policies of toleration put the future of Islam on the Indian subcontinent at risk.

Based on the passage, what angered Shaykh Ahmad?

Muslims were participating in Hindu holidays.
Hindu traditions were separate from Islamic traditions.
Muslims were intolerant of Hindus.
Hindus were rejecting pantheism.

Answer 1

Muslims were participating in Hindu holidays.
