The Imam of Lucknow Idgah and an executive member of the AIMPLB, Maulana Khalid Rashid Firangi Mahali, said the community members have decided to take up the issue with the Board to identify and ban these so-called maulanas who have little knowledge about Islam and Shariat
After the All-India Nirmohi Akhara released a list of 14 fake 'babas', the All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB), the community's highest decision-making body, may also identify fake 'maulanas' misguiding community members and bringing a bad name to Islam.
The Imam of Lucknow Idgah and an executive member of the AIMPLB, Maulana Khalid Rashid Firangi Mahali, said the community members have decided to take up the issue with the Board to identify and ban these so-called maulanas who have little knowledge about Islam and Shariat.
"Many of these self-made Muslim clerics can be seen appearing in TV debates on serious subjects pertaining to Islam and Shariat without having any proper knowledge. Their utterances create confusion among the community members and create unnecessary controversies," Maulana Rashid said.
He further said he will propose to the Board to ban all maulanas appearing on TV channels and to nominate their own representatives for such activities. "This will help people and intellectuals to understand Islam and its practices better" he said.
Commenting on the triple talaq controversy, the Imam said the matter went out of the Board's hands due to the statements issued by these fake maulanas who had no understanding of talaq in the light of Shariat.
He also demanded framing of rules and laws for maulanas and other muslim clerics. "One does not automatically become a cleric by wearing a sherwani, growing beard, and donning a skull cap. It requires qualifications and a thorough knowledge of Islamic laws," the Maulana said.
Welcoming the Nirmohi Akahara's initiative against fake babas, Maulana Rashid said the time has come that the community members and AIMPLB also identify black sheep who were giving a bad name to Islam due to their lack of knowledge.
When queried, AIMPLB Secretary and Legal Advisor Jafrayab Jilani said the Board will certainly discuss the issue if the community members make a representation. "The Board has always played an active and positive role to dispel any doubts regarding Islam and Shariat. It will certainly act on any such proposal," he assured.
