JUI-F endorses Indian madrassa fatwa

* JUI-F senator notes party had issued anti-terrorism fatwa before madrassa

By Zakir Hassnain

PESHAWAR: Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) on Wednesday, endorsed a fatwa against terrorism decreed by Darul Uloom Deoband, a 150-year-old madrassa in neighbouring India.

“We fully support the anti-terrorism fatwa issued by the madrassa. They declared the edict according to the existing circumstances,” said JUI-F NWFP President Senator Maulana Gul Naseeb Khan when Daily Times sought his comments on Wednesday.

The Deoband madrassa issued the fatwa in a meeting in New Delhi on May 31, attended by thousands of clerics and students who vowed to root out terrorism from the society.

One religious leader said Islam does not allow terrorism in any form. “Islam has come to wipe out all kinds of terrorism and to spread the message of global peace,” he said.

Senator Naseeb said Deoband was an educational, religious and spiritual institution for them (JUI-F) and as such “we endorse its anti-terrorism fatwa.”

Senator: However, Maulana Gul Naseeb said the JUI-F had issued an anti-terrorism fatwa long before the Deoband madrassa. He said the JUI-F had convened an ulema convention on April 17, 2007 in the city which issued a fatwa declaring suicide bombing and all kinds of terrorism were haraam in Islam and against the law of the land.

Around 2000 ulema from various parts of the country attended the 2007 JUI-F convention and endorsed the edict. Some of the prominent JUI-F ulema who were signatories to the fatwa included Maulana Fazlur Rehman, Maulana Saleemullah Khan, Maulana Muhammad Hanif Jalandhri, the late Maulana Muhammad Hasan Jan, Maulana Dr Abdul Razaaq Sikandar, Maulana Qazi Hameedullah, Maulana Dr Muhammad Adil Khan, Maulana Dr Sher Ali Khan, Maulana Mufti Ghulamur Rehman, Maulana Muhammad Ullah Jan and others.

The JUI-F senator said his party did not support suicide bomb attacks, blasts, thebombing of girls’ schools and other forms of terrorism. “They are un-Islamic,” he said.

Shujaul Mulk, JUI-F NWFP secretary general, said all world religions were against terrorism and there were no diverse opinions on it. “Islam is against it,” said the JUI-F leader.

However, Shuja, former JUI-F member of the National Assembly (MNA), said differences existed over its “definition and application.” The JUI-F leader said one would have to determine first who a terrorist was and if the definition could be applied to him or not.

“Some people are reacting to exploitation of resources of the third world countries. Would you call them terrorists?” asked the JUI-F leader.
