Linking Tabligh with terrorism baseless, says Darul Uloom
The Hindu
It asks Saudi Govt. to review decision on ban
The Darul Uloom, Deoband, on Sunday, disapproved of the Saudi Government’s decision to ban Tablighi Jamaat for spreading terrorism and said linking the organisation with bidat (undesirable religious innovation) and shirk (indulging in idolatry) was baseless. The Islamic seminary, where the largest Muslim organisation took root, asked the Kingdom to review its decision.
In a press note in Urudu, signed by rector Maulana Abdul Qasim Nomani, the Darul Uloom said the charges were baseless and that the Jamaat’s role was to spread deen (faith). In a tweet, it further stated the Jamaat came into being in Deoband because of the efforts of Maulana Mohammad Ilyas about a century ago.
