MQM ulema convention rejects ‘Taliban brand of shariah’
At the Mutthida Quami Movement (MQM) ‘Ulema and Mashaikh Convention’, hundreds of religious scholars and custodians of shrines of Muslim saints rejected the Taliban brand of shariah on Sunday. “Suicide attacks and murder of any person on the basis of sectarian differences is forbidden in Islam,” a unanimously adopted resolution, issued at the end of the convention, declared. The resolution also turned down suicide attacks on mosques, Imam Bargahs and shrines of saints because of sectarian differences.
Sunni Barlevi scholar Hamza Ali Qadri, Makhdoom Nafees ur Rehman of Uch Sharif shrine, Sunni Tehrik’s Khizar ul Islam, Deobandi scholars’ Maulana Ehteram-ul-Haq Thanvi, Tanveer ul Haq Thanvi, Mufti Mohammad Naeem, Asad Deobandi, Qari Saeed Qamar Qasmi, Shia scholars Maulana Mirza Yousuf Hussain, Maulana Shahriar Abedi, Maulana Nazir Taqvi and former Senator Allama Abbas Kumaili, Ahl-e-Hadith and Salafi scholar Amir Abdullah Farooqi and Dr Abdul Khaliq Pirzada, addressed the event.
Allama Abbas Kumaili said that the 1973 Constitution gave protection to all Muslim sects. “They enjoy a constitutional right to spend their life according to their own creed. The Taliban brand of shariah does not allow opposing sects to spend their life according to their creed and it is against the 1973 Constitution,” he said. Allama Hamza Ali Hanafi Qadri said that the unity of Muslims was a dire need of the hour adding, “Un-Islamic forces are also involved in the Talibanisation. Pakistan is an Islamic state and does not need Taliban shariah.” Allama Tanveer ul Haq Thanvi, a Deobandi scholar denounced the Taliban, JUI and Jamaat-e-Islami saying that they were not the spokespersons of Deobandi school of thought. “Deobandis are known for Ashraf Ali Thanvi. Islam is the religion of peace and sanity and not of massacre,” he said.
“For God’s sake, bury your petty differences and join hands against Talibanisation,” MQM Chief Altaf Hussain urged. MQM ulema convention rejects ‘Taliban brand of shariah’
