Ulema were against creation of Pakistan: Fawad

[Awan68]

Ulema always stand on wrong side of histpry

recent history.

 

[M. Sarmad]

Why did the Shias protest against Pakistan as you say Shias were also against Pakistan?

Not just Shia groups, virtually every significant religious group in Undivided India, indeed the entire Muslim religious establishment was opposed to Jinnah and his Pakistan Movement.

Why? Maybe because they thought that there was nothing Islamic about ML and it's leaders, and that the idea of Indian Muslim Nationalism being propounded by ML was essentially unIslamic as Islam (as interpreted by them) prohibited all forms of Nationalism. (Congressi ulema rejected ML's Indian Muslim Nationalism and propagated Composite Indian Nationalism instead)

Undivided India

British India.

Why? Maybe because they thought that there was nothing Islamic about ML and it's leaders, and that the idea of Indian Muslim Nationalism being propounded by ML was essentially unIslamic as Islam (as interpreted by them) prohibited all forms of Nationalism.

Do you believe that Ulemas have the final say in matters of religion? Like in Iran where one cannot go against Khamenei?

The testament that the largest documented human migration happened because of religion is in itself a testament that religion was the chief motivating factor of it.

Do you consider people who chant slogan like Pakistan ka matlab kia, la ilaha illallah, as religious extremists?

Don't agree. They hardly stand and prefer to recline or lie down.

Oh Ramadan start tomorrow in Pakistan.. I see..okay so enjoy the last few hours of your freedom.

He will remain around here. So don't worry. You can believe in your theory about lock but about Libya , palestine, Israeli is preparing for fresh aggression.

 

[Dubious]

only deobandi sect was against not all Prof.chikoo fawad

Wasnt Deobandi a politicized movement during British Raj? I read something along those lines somewhere...

 

[AbuzarIlyas]

He is a real dumb head. A crown dumb head in the team of scumbags!

He does not even know the fraction of Pakistan History. All the deobandis were standing with Congress and all Surkhas were also standing with congress and all the unionists were also involved in opposing Pakistan movement. Forefathers of most military families were also busy serving their British masters. Ahl e Sunnat ulema were one strong arm of Quaid e Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah.

Instead of going through historical debate on if the crow was black or grey. Why cant the government legislate that school of thought in religion should be from within the country.

Bareilly is a town in India.
Deoband is a town in India.
Shias also report to religious clergy outside of Pakistan.
Qadiyanis too.

Why cant they all have a Pakistani origin of school of thought? Its much easier to tackle this than to say we have taken a uturn on our ideological creation and now we are congress Mullah?

Don't count Qadyanis with sects of Islam.

 

[El Sidd]

Don't count Qadyanis with sects of Islam.

Point taken although i did not write islam or sect of islam with barreily or deoband either

 

[El Sidd]

Why did not you arrested and tortured them since you are a part pf secret services. You would have done a favor on the people of Pakistan & would have done great services to your nation.

do Indian security forces torture such religious people?

 

[El Sidd]

No, they torture idiots like you.

but use of torture is against the Indian constitution and globally appreciated human rights?

How many people are being tortured for their religious beliefs in India? Do you have any figure?

Lol
Ouch !

Not even all deobandis but most of their eminent leadership was openly against the creation of Pakistan like Hussain Ahmad Madni, Abol-Kalam, Thanvi, Father of Fazlu, Maulana Maudoodi etc

 

[Maarkhoor]

Are you an idiot or just today forget to take your medicines?

Ulema were against creation of Pakistan: Fawad

Listen

ISLAMABAD: Science and Technology Minister Fawad Chaudhry on Sunday said the decision on how to run the country can’t be left to a Maulana, as most of the Ulema were against the creation of Pakistan.

He said the journey ahead for the country will be decided by the youth and technology will take the country forward. In Twitter messages, the minister said a new committee of experts has been established which would determine moon sighting for key dates and months in the Islamic calendar for the next 10 years, Geo News reported.

The five-member committee will comprise science and technology experts from SUPARCO (Space and Upper Atmosphere Research Commission) and MET Office, Chaudhry wrote on Twitter.

The committee will prepare an Islamic calendar of important dates and months for the next 10 years, including Ramazan, Eid, and Muharram, which will put an end to the moon-sighting controversies that arise every year, the minister added.

Meanwhile, the Central Ruet-e-Hilal Committee chief Mufti Munibur Rehman strongly disagreed with Chaudhry and said that the minister is ‘unaware of religious matters’.

“Fawad Chaudhry is unaware of the system. He doesn’t even know that the committee meets at Suparco. I have previously appealed to the premier to let only concerned minister speak on religious issues. The science and technology minister doesn’t understand the sensitivity of the issue. He shouldn’t have a licence to speak on it,” he said.

Mufti Munib said history bears witness to immense sacrifices made by Ulema during the freedom movement, adding that it is not appropriate to cite the role of a few Ulema only to criticise the others.

“Fawad Chaudhry has a habit of making baseless claims to gain popularity. One must take caution while commenting on Ulema,” he said. “Our announcements regarding moon have never been wrong. Everyone bears witness when the moon is sighted. If you are fond of making a lunar calendar, then go ahead and make a calendar of 100 years instead of just 10,” he said.
