Strict Adherence to Law on Loudspeaker Controversy: Moinuddin Ashrafi’s Strong Statement

Allegations of Forced Imposition of Waqf Amendment Bill on Muslims

Jalna: The Muslim community must strictly adhere to the Bombay High Court’s directives regarding the use of loudspeakers at religious sites. These orders are not limited to mosques alone but apply to places of worship of all religions. Islam also emphasizes avoiding inconvenience to others, making it essential to regulate loudspeaker volume in accordance with legal guidelines.

This statement was made by Syed Moinuddin Ashrafi, President of All India Sunni Jamiat-ul-Ulema and a Mumbai resident. He was in Jalna to attend the Tajdar-e-Baghdad Conference and addressed a meeting organized by Raza Academy, Jalna, where he guided the Muslim community on the loudspeaker dispute and the Waqf Amendment Bill.

Prominent figures present at the meeting included Syed Jameel Maulana, President of Raza Academy Marathwada.

Loudspeaker Competition Among Mosques is Unwarranted – Ashrafi

Moinuddin Ashrafi pointed out an unnecessary competition among certain mosque trustees regarding loudspeaker volume. The primary purpose of Azaan is to call worshippers for prayers within the vicinity of the mosque, but in some areas, an unreasonable race to amplify sound across the city has been observed, causing distress to the general public.

“Islam is a faith that considers even removing pebbles, stones, or thorns from the road as a part of faith. Therefore, it is crucial for the Muslim community to control loudspeaker volume to ensure that no one is inconvenienced,” he stated.

Waqf Amendment Bill – A Forced Imposition?

Expressing strong dissatisfaction over the Waqf Amendment Bill, Moinuddin Ashrafi stated that he had raised objections before the Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC). Although a one-hour meeting stretched for three hours, the JPC failed to consider the concerns of the Muslim community.

“This bill is being forcibly imposed on Muslims. If necessary, we will challenge this law in the Supreme Court,” he declared.

He emphasized that Waqf is a religious institution, questioning the appointment of individuals with no fundamental understanding of Waqf to the board. He further warned that the amendment would harm Waqf properties, delaying action against illegal encroachments and unauthorized occupations.

Ashrafi revealed that All India Sunni Jamiat-ul-Ulema sought support from Nitish Kumar and Chandrababu Naidu against the bill, but both leaders declined to discuss it.

False Claims About Waqf Properties?

During the meeting, Syed Jameel Maulana, President of Raza Academy Marathwada, refuted misleading claims that Waqf owns the largest land holdings after Indian Railways.

“Such misleading narratives should not be promoted without an official survey,” he asserted.

According to him, analyzing internet sources would reveal that the largest land ownership belongs to temples, followed by Railways, the Armed Forces, and then Waqf properties.

Mass Gathering and Enthusiastic Welcome for Ashrafi

The meeting witnessed a significant turnout, including prominent figures like Mufti Ghulam Nabi, Munawwar Khan Lala, Hafiz Amjad Raza, Hafiz Syed Umar, Maulana Naushad Alimi, Maulana Armaan Alimi, Maulana Taufeeq Alimi, Maulana Masihuddin Alimi, Maulana Razzak, Maulana Ansar, Hafiz Munawwar, Hafiz Sartaj, Hafiz Rehan, Ghulam Mehboob, Asad Razvi, Ateeq Razvi, Mohd Azeem, Advocate Arshad Bagwan, Dr. Yaseen, Dr. Shahnawaz, and Ayyub Khan.

Moinuddin Ashrafi received a grand welcome from various organizations for his address on crucial issues affecting the Muslim community.
