Call for Muslims to follow Shariah law
Islamic scholars, religious leaders and representatives of various Muslim organisations urged the Muslim community to resort to Shariah Courts for legally resolving domestic issues, while challenging Mulla Furdanji’s book ‘Mohammedan Law’ as reference for judgements related to Muslim issues.
Hyderabad: Islamic scholars, religious leaders and representatives of various Muslim organisations urged the Muslim community to resort to Shariah Courts for legally resolving domestic issues, while challenging Mulla Furdanji’s book ‘Mohammedan Law’ as reference for judgements related to Muslim issues.
Speaking at a seminar organised by Sada-e-Haq Sharaee Counsil here recently, Convenor of the meeting Moinuddin said, “The Shariah courts are the only way to resolve matters related to Muslim issues.” He called upon Muslims to resort to these courts for proper judgements based on Islamic values and principles.
Meanwhile, Professor Mohsin Usman Nadwi urged the intellectuals of the community to assess the incompliance manifold of the book, “’Mohammed Law’ with the actual Shariah and the mistakes in the translation and terminology presented in it.
He said the Shariah courts would help provide express resolutions of conflicts and provide insightful judgements.
Maulana Naseeruddin said, “While Islam vouched for empowering women, the laws imposed by British during their rule in India marginalised the gender and segregated them as oppressed community.”
He said, “The book ‘Mohammedan Law’ was written by a Parsi legal luminary Fardonji Mulla in 1906 and cannot be used as the base of pronouncing judgements for Muslim issues.” Further it was added that great Islamic scholar of Quran and founder of Jamaat-e-Islami and scholar Maulana Syed Abul A'la Maududi had warned in 1939 that 75 per cent of judgements based on the book ‘Mohammedan Law’ will be devastative and that these decisions do not fully cohort with the actual Islamic law or Shariah.
Dr Aleem Khan Falki blamed “unnecessary extravaganza” in organising lavish weddings as the cause for domestic conflicts in Muslim marriages, particularly in the middle-class community.
Chief Editor of Gawah Urdu Weekly Dr Fazil Hussain Parvez recommended the issue of ‘Mohammedan Law’ book be imbibed in the agenda for the Muslim Personal Law Board’s forthcoming meeting.
