I reproduce below the summative points of this fatwa in a slightly edited style for language clarity: “Is it correct, as per Shariah, for Daish and others of its ilk in the name of the so-called caliphate to try to take into (their) own hands the peace and law and order, to explode bombs on main streets and other places, to destroy public and private properties and military installations, to hijack planes, to kill tourists, media-persons and foreign employees, to make nurses hostages or kill them, to attack upon non-abiding hijab women, educational institutions, offices of the newspapers and news channels and embassies, to provoke the people against the government and disturb the peace and harmony of the country?”Ī collective reply to the above question was prepared by the top Muftis and Ulema of Jamiat Ahl-e-Hadith Hindi, as detailed in its official website. In fact, the anti-terror fatwa of Ahle Hadith answers this question:
Notably, a collective anti-terror fatwa endorsed by 40 senior clerics associated with the New Delhi-based Markazi Jamiat Ahle-Hadees Hind has been reiterated at his conference. They wonder as to how the Ahle Hadith in India, who emulate the ultra-orthodox Salafist brand of Islam, have come up with an outcry against the “terror tactics” of the Daesh (ISIS). While referring to Jamiat Ahle Hadees fatwa against “terrorism”, he said that Jamiat was the first one to issue the fatwa against terrorism and this conference will be helpful to convey the message of peace and “enlighten the people about the deep-rooted conspiracy of the ISIS and similar organizations that are working to disrupt the social harmony and brotherhood”.īut for many, this development is utterly surprising. Tellingly, the Jamiat Ahle Hadith has organized the two-day annual conference, as Maulana Salafi avers, with an aim to combat the menace of terrorism and to promote national integrity, solidarity, brotherhood and stability.
The youth should work as messengers of peace and should not be enticed by the anti-social elements”, he said. The greatest challenge of the present time is propagation of world peace and safety of mankind. The chief organizer of this conference and the Jamiat Ahle Hadith president, Maulana Asghar Ali Imam Mahdi Salafi said: “Conflict and hatred against each other in the name of religion have become a matter of great concern for mankind. It not only propagates the safety of mankind, but also guarantees the safety of all the creatures”, as the Urdu daily Inquilab reports today.
In his Khutba (sermon) of Juma’a, he prayed: “May Allah make the land of India a sanctuary of peace and tranquillity and protect its citizens from all catastrophes and tabulations!” In his sermon, he also stated : “Islam spread in India like other countries with its force of ethics and morality, rather than sword. On this occasion, the Imam of Madina Mosque led the Friday prayer.
