No govt or court has right to effect changes in Shariat: Top Muslim
clerics at Jamaat-e-Islami Hind’s programme
New Delhi: India’s top Muslim clerics have unequivocally asserted that
Shariat is divine and hence no Govt or
court has right to make any changes in it. When Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) had no
such right, how Muslims can give that right to any Govt or court, they asked
while speaking at the concluding program of Jamaat-e-Islami Hind’s nationwide
Muslim Personal Law Awareness Campaign, held at Aiwan-e Ghalib here on Sunday
evening. The clerics categorically asserted that Muslim disputes over family
matters are reaching courts because of ignorance or deliberate misuse of
Shariat provisions, and so Shariat cannot be held responsible for it. Instead,
there is strong need to educate the Muslim masses about Shariat, to impress
upon them to follow it honestly and to open counseling centers and Shariat
panchayats to resolve any disputes over family matters like marriage, divorce,
and inheritance. “When Muslims were in power they never interfered in customs,
traditions and personal laws of other communities and that is why the British
regime respected Islamic Shariat and in 1937 the Shariat Application Act was
passed to ensure that courts decide according to Islamic Shariat in family
matters like marriage, divorce, and inheritance if both parties are Muslim,”
said Maulana Khalid Saifullah Rahmani, Secretary, All India Muslim Personal Law
Board.He urged Muslims to have full faith and belief in Shariat, acquire its
knowledge and practice it fully and honestly. Maulana Fazlurrehman Mujaddidi,
Secretary, All India Muslim Personal Law Board, termed the recent hue and cry
over talaq and polygamy as part of a global conspiracy to target social and
family system of Islam. “We have lost our political system and also an economic
system, and now there is a global conspiracy to target our social and family
system. Islamic civilization and social system are being targeted as they are a
big impediment in the way of Western civilization,” said Maulana Mujaddidi at
the program that was presided over by Jamaat chief Maulana Syed Jalaluddin
Umari. “Talaq is a need of human society. When a husband and wife cannot live
together for any reason, they can get separated through Talaq,” he said.Maulana
Ateeque Ahmed Bastawi, Convener, Darul Qaza committee, All India Muslim
Personal Law Board said: “No Govt or
court will be able to make any change in our Shariat if we Muslims remain firm
on it. When we ignore Shariat, courts, and Govt s get an opportunity to
interfere in it.” He also advised Muslims to avoid going courts on family
issues and stressed on setting up of counseling committee in every Muslim
locality in the country to resolve disputes of marriage, divorce etc.Eminent
Islamic scholar Dr. Zafarul Islam Khan said Uniform Civil Code (UCC) is one of
23 items mentioned in the Directive Principles of the Indian Constitution but only
UCC is singled out by people with vested interests.In his presidential speech,
president of Jamaat Maulana Syed Jalaluddin Umari said: “During the campaign, I
addressed several events in different parts of the country. The huge number of
people at those programs gave a clear message that Muslims are not ready to
keep off Islam and Shariat and this should be clear to all.” Maulana Umari said
that no injustice can even be imagined in any law framed by Allah. “A Govt , a
community or a party or an individual can do injustice but this cannot be said
about Almighty Allah that He would take the side of any. So there cannot be
injustice with any gender or group or individual in any law framed by Allah,”
he said. Earlier at the program, Mohammad Jafar, Convener of Jamaat’s Muslim
Personal Law Awareness Campaign (23 April – 7 May) said that through thousands
of programs during the campaign, around 100 million people were reached
directly or indirectly with the message Islam and Shariat. Major programs were
held in all capital cities besides special programs for women. Women cadres of
Jamaat campaigned in towns and villages and educated people about marriage,
divorce, and inheritance. Some 84 press conferences were addressed by Jamaat’s
women leaders while 1500 programs were organized only for women. Around 6 lakh
booklets and 17 lakh pamphlets on women issues were distributed. About 32 lakh
people were reached through personal contacts and 12,500 Friday sermons were
used to educate the Muslim masses on Shariat.webiste

Jamaat-e-Islami Hind’s concluding meet: Muslims clerics question right
of govt to make changes in sharia laws
New Delhi: This was the question clerics participating in the concluding
meeting of Jamaat-e-Islami Hind's nationwide Muslim personal law awareness
campaign raised yesterday, according to a statement issued by the organisation.When
Prophet Muhammad himself did not have the right to make changes to the divine
shariat, how come Muslims allow any government or court to do so? This was the
question clerics participating in the concluding meeting of Jamaat-e-Islami
Hind's nationwide Muslim personal law awareness campaign raised yesterday,
according to a statement issued by the organisation. "India's top Muslim
clerics have unequivocally asserted that shariat (personal laws) is divine and
hence, no government or court has the right to make any changes in it,"
the statement reads.The clerics observed that Muslim disputes over family
matters are reaching courts because of "ignorance or deliberate"
misuse of shariat provisions and so the personal laws cannot be held
responsible for it."Instead, there is a strong need to educate Muslim
masses about shariat to impress upon them to follow it honestly and to open
counselling centres and shariat panchayats to resolve any dispute over family
matters," the statement added.JIH's national president Syed Jalaluddin
Umari, All India Muslim Personal Law Board secretaries Khalid Saifullah Rahmani
and Maulana Fazlurrehman Mujaddidi and Islamic scholar Zafarul Islam Khan and
others took part in the meeting.Mujaddidi said the recent "hue and
cry" over the practices of 'triple talaq' and polygamy were "part of
a global conspiracy" to target social and family system of Islam, the
statement said.The meeting was culmination of JIH's awareness campaign held
between April 23 and May 7.The Centre had on Oct.7 last year opposed in the
Supreme Court the practice of 'triple talaq', 'nikah halala' and polygamy among
Muslims and favoured a relook on grounds like gender equality and secularism.PTI

Ignorance mars personal law debate: Jamaat-e-Islami Hind Gujarat seminar
Ahmedabad: As the debate on relevance of triple talaq gets momentum in
the country, Jamaat-e-Islami Hind's, Gujarat chapter, organized a seminar, on
Sunday, as part of their awareness campaign for Muslim Personal Law and Sharia
laws. The seminar was held at Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar Hall in Saraspur where
members of Muslim community participated and shared their views.Gujarat
convener for the campaign Mohammad Ilyas Qureshi in his speech mentioned that
the current debate is result of the ignorance of the Islamic laws and Sharia
among the Muslims and population at large.Shakeel Ahmed Rajput, president of
the Gujarat chapter, said that there are a number of practices, customs and
traditions which are against the idea of Sharia and they should be changed. "Family
is the primary unit of the society and the rules should ensure that the love
and respect continues in the institution. Customs like dowry are akin to crimes
such as theft and robbery," he said.Woman community leader Arifa Parnavi
in her speech said that there is need to get women educated so that they can
understand their rights. "There should be a good number of counselling
centers to resolve domestic issues so that the families should not go to the
courts to seek justice," she said.TOI
Ranchi : Jamaat-e-Islami Hind to spread awareness about Personal Law
Ranchi (Daltonganj ): Majority of Muslims are ignorant about the finer
points of Talaq, said a campaigner, Matin Tariq, of the Daltonganj unit of
Jamaat-e-Islami Hind. Matin said, “Our own community does not know about the
Muslim Personal Law and the result of which is that others go noisy over it and
issue tons of statements without understanding that dissemination of wrong
ideas and concepts are harmful to the entire society.” On the issue of Talaq,
Matin Tariq said there is a strong need for setting up of counselling centres all
over the country where people should be counselled over this. He further said
that no one has any right to interpret or misinterpret the tenets of Ttalaq as
per his own considerations and limits of knowledge. Ali Imam, local president
of Daltonganj unit of Jammat - e- Islami Hind said the 15-day campaign launched
by this unit is for massive awareness about Muslim Personal Law. However, Imam
said as the issue of Talaq is the raging issue now the awareness was too
focused on it as well. dailypioneer
Triple Talaq should be seen with perspective of reform not religion:
Mukhtar Naqvi
New Delhi:Centre on Sunday launched a scathing
at political leaders for politicizing the issue of Triple Talaq while saying
that the matter should not be seen with the perspective of religion but
‘reform’.“Triple Talaq issue is not a matter of communalism. It should not be
seen with the perspective of religion but reform. Those who are trying to give
it a communal angle, they should understand that improvement is necessary for
the society,” Union Minister Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi said. Reiterating PM Narendra
Modi’s assertion of not politicizing the Triple Talaq matter, he further said
society needs to improve and creating any kind of hindrance is not called
for.ANI
