Markazi Jamiat Ahle Hadees Hind

Aims and Objectives

The Ahle Hadeeth or the Salafis, popularly but contemptuously referred to as the Wahabis, are a constituent group of Sunni Muslims. They adhere to the pristine teachings of Islam as enshrined in the Holy Quran and Sunnah (the precepts, practices and approvals of the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.) and reject what has not been enjoined by the Islamic Shariah. The Ahle Hadeeths or the Salafis believe in pristine Monotheism (Tauheed Khalis), turn to Allah seeking His Mercy and don’t invoke Saint’s blessings. They do not stick to any of the Sectarian Jurisprudence (fiqh).although they are given due respect. Since they adhere to the pristine teachings of the Holy Quran and Sunnah, they have their distinct identity among Muslims.

  • The Salafis interpret Quranic Verses with an anthropomorphic reference literally;
  • They elucidate the message of Islam to all mankind and clarify the truth of pure Islamic monotheism (Towheed) according to the Quran and Sunnah;
  • They propagate and publicise the Islamic principles, values, culture and ideas to all mankind according to the accepted path of righteous Salaf;
  • They oppose polytheism, innovations in religious matters, (bid‘at) blind imitations and reject many practices prevalent among the mystics (Sufiyas) of this day as un-Islamic accretions.
  • They teach the principles of mutual benevolence, unity, peace, brotherhood, love of the country and respect of human values rejecting the causes of conflict and disunity;
  • They believe in Ijtihad and not Taqleed. However, the four Imams are given due respect;
  • They do not believe forced conversion as the Holy Qura’n has declared: “There is no coercion (in the matter of) religion;”
  • They condemn terrorists and terrorism as Islam is the religion of peace.

 

HISTORICAL BACKGROUND

Ahle Hadeeths exist with the existence of Islam. In every part of the world wherever is Muslim population. They exist in India from time Muslims came to the country. In India their estimated population is about 25-30 millions. Markazi Jamiat AhleHadeeth is their representative organisation founded in December, 1906. It has 21 branches at state levels, more than 200 branches at district levels and forty thousand at local levels. It has thousands of its followers all over the country who are playing a great role in the development of the country. Their representation in education, industries, agriculture, politics and defence has been recognized and appreciated.

Since its inception it has been serving Islam and Muslims. No any religious and social organisation of Muslim Community existed prior to this Jamaat in India.

Among those who were Ahle Hadeeths in India were Muhammad Bin Tughluq (1325-1351), Maulana Shams-al-Din ibn al Haweri, Mualan ‘Alam al Din (grandson of Sheikh Baha al-Din Zakariyya of Multan), Shah Wali Allah (1702-1763), Maulana Abdul Aziz Muhaddith Dehlavi, Shah Muhammad Ismail Shaheed, Maulana Walayat Ali Azeem Abadi, Sir Syed Ahmad Khan (1817-1898), Nawab Muhammad Siddiq Hasan Khan (1832-1890), Shiekh Abdul Haqq Muhaddis of Benaras, Maulana Abul Kalam Azad (1888-1958) (Freedom fighter and first Education Minister of India) etc.

There is circumstantial evidence of Balban (1266-1287) and Alauddin Khilji (1296-1316) as they were Ahle Hadeeth too.

Abdul Haleem Sharar, Maulana Altaf Husain Hali (great poet), Maulana Zafar Ali Khan, (Editor Zamindar), Maulana Abdul Majeed Hariri (former Indian Ambassador to Saudi Arabia), and Maulana Abdul Wahab Arvi were some prominent Ahle Hadeeths.

Ahle Hadeeth or Salafis were in the forefront to fight the British rule. Maulana Abdullah martyrdom of Andaman and Maualana Walayat Ali Sadiqpuri (Azeem Abad) were great freedom fighters from the Salafi ideological lineage. “The Wahabi (Salafi) movement gave a number of towering personalities to the nation. Shah Ismail, Syed Ahmad, Wilayat Ali, Inayat Ali, Mian Syed Nazir Hussain, Nawab Siddique Hasan Khan of Bhopal, Sir Syed, Mualana Sanaullah Amritsari and Abul Kalam Azad. This galaxy forms the brightest chapter of our freedom struggle. The first commander of the patriot warriors of the pioneer movement was the great Wahabi (Ahle Hadeeth) leader Shah Ismail Shaheed and when the movement reached its point of culmination, it was again a great Wahabi (Ahle Hadeeth) leader (Abul Kalam Azad) who negotiated the transfer of power with the British.” (The Salafis, P.204-205, A.Q.Naqvi, Al Kitab Int. New Delhi, 2001). The freedom fighter from Jamate Ahle Hadeeth like Maulana Abdul Qayyum Rahmani is still alive.

SERVICES

Jamiate Ahle Hadeeth Hind is of course the oldest Muslim Jamiat (Organisation in India. From 1906 to 1947 (41 years) this organisation contributed a lot to regain the intellectual and cultural identity of the Ummah and fought for the principles of humanity and brotherhood rejecting the causes of conflict and disunity among the Muslims. Maulana Sanaullah Amratsari was the sole leader of the same. Almost all religious circles of India hailed the Maulana’s endeavours in this regard.

The Jamiat has seen a lot of transformation in the last six years. The Jamiat is on its way to becoming one of the best organisation in providing highly developed organization, INSHALLAH!. This development is determined by honesty, integrity, and commitment. We value our members the most and strive hard to maintain the high standard of office discipline that we have set for ourselves.

Jamiat has also been in the news by organising the Jamate Ahle Hadeeth Conference at Pakorh, in Jharkhand in 2004. Then there are a host of prestigious projects initiated that make Ahle Hadeeths one of the most talked about milli activities in the media and religious circles of India.

These endeavours of Jamiat Ahle Hadeeth are a clear indication of the accelerated growth on different fronts.

As parts of its efforts to raise the quality of education to level that meets the needs of society in the new era, Jamiat has in recent years introduced a variety of projects to upgrade the quality of Islamic training and education as well as educational programme for teachers, instructors, Dawah workers, Muftis and Islamic jurists, Al-Mahad Al-‘Alee has been established in Okhla, New Delhi with new syllabus.

The central aim of Al-M‘ahad is to provide a quality education for all its students based on their particular needs, ages, abilities and aptitudes and that its graduates will be bilingual in Arabic and English. When the Al-Mahad was founded, it took over the existing building of Ahle Hadeethe Complex, which were completely modernized and refurbished and now form the premises of Ahle Hadeeth Complex, Okhla New Delhi. With a 3 story Jama Masjid hostels, guest rooms, reading room, library and office. The Al-Mahad, at present, cannot accommodate all pupils who apply for admission, as its intake is restricted owing to financial constraint on hostel, food, electricity and other scholarships.

Al – present, the Muslim parents are struggling hard to find a judicious balance between secular education and Islamic studies for its young ones. They are striving to give their children the best education in Science and Social studies as well as impart instruction in Islamic Faith. Keeping its cultural and social moorings intact. They also want their children to be educated in an Islamic environment.

For this purpose the Jamiat has prepared a new syllabus for Madarsas and English medium schools covering all secular subjects from primary to standard 5th. The same has been printed and published by Maktaba Tarjuman, Delhi under the auspices of Jamiate Ahle Hadeeth, Hind. The necessary books according to stated syllabus are being prepared by a panel of educationists. Ahle Hadeeth Madarsas have been alerted to include modern subjects in their syllabus along with Islamic subjects.

The present situation makes it incumbent on Muslims to present the message of Islam through all available means, i.e. mass media, Islamic books, folders, and strengthen relations with different communities and cultures in order to dispel doubts and misunderstandings about Islam and Muslims.
In this regard Jamiat has offered 550 Holy Quran in English to India Tourism Development Corporation Ltd., New Delhi for each and every room of Ashoka Hotel and 1600 Holy Quran for hotels under its possession all over India. A long awaited book, “History of Jamate Ahle Hadeeth (comprising of 731 pages) written by Dr. Bahauddin has been published.

All the organisations that are involved in terrorist acts and destruction of public and private properties in the name of Islam cam not be called Mujahid nor their activities as Jihad.

Jamiat Ahle Hadeeth opines that such activities have no Islamic injunctions. Islam forbids abusing the deities of other religions. It forbids its followers to assault the worshipping places of other religions as well.

Maulana Asghar Imam Mahadi Salafi, the General Secretary, Jamiat Ahle Hadeeth, Hind said: “Terrorism was the greatest threat to the whole of mankind in the present days. He cautioned the crying need of the hour was that the whole humanity has to rise above individual positions or parties or religions and join hands to curb the evil which was eating vitals of our society which is needed to be addressed on war footing. He clarified that Islam did not permit any kind of terrorism in whichever form it be and, in fact, Islam had the distinction of being peace loving religion and torchbearer for universal brotherhood. He further said that Jamiate Ahle Hadeeth, Hind, having units and territorial establishments all over India, had responded to the call of the time and organized programmes to promote peace and tranquility. He, however, cautioned that certain prejudiced forces were for their dirty designs trying to paint Islam as the fountain of terrorism, which is not only far from the truth but is also highly condemnable by one and all having faith in equality, fair play and justice.

A two day All India ‘Ulama-e- Ahle Hadeeth convention Seminar and Symposium on Education, Madarsas, and Terrorism was organised on July 23-24, 2006 at Ahle Hadeeth Complex, Okhla attended by former prime minister, Mr. V.P.

Speaking at the Symposium, “Are Madarsas viable seats of Social Service or Breeding Ground of terrorism” the Chief Guest Mr. Shivraj Patel Said: “We believe that Madarsas are seats of Social Service. They are not the center of terrorism.”

Trying to dispel doubts about Madarsas, often accused of being breeding of militancy, Union Home Minister Shivraj Patel Said: “We believe that Madrasas are Seats of Social Service and centers of terrorism. Madarsas, where knowledge of humanism is being imparted and where human values are being taught, could only be termed as “Servants of humanity”, we are not ready to accept that they are the breeding ground of terrorism.” (The Times of India, July 24, 2006)

The symposium was given courage by 56 national dailies and weeklies.

The ‘Ulama’s convention on education was historic one. The ‘Ulama of 28 States presented their treatises on different topics related to education and Madarsas.

MEDIA CELL

To catch the views and reader’s attention, media (electro and print media both) adopts cheap gimmicks. A community is harassed, the name of a particular maslak is framed and tarnished in several crimes. A section of media carries fabricated stories. For this reason Markazi Jamiat has established a media cell to check the growing negative influence of the media by issuing press releases, keeping the clippings of news, views (database and documentation) for preservation and reference, filing of newspapers of national and international dailies as well as magazines, writing letters to the editors and calling press conferences on important issues etc.

MISCELLANEOUS SERVICES AND ACHIEVEMENTS:

Jam‘at Ahle Hadeeth is the organization that moblised public opinion against the Adoption Bill tabled in Parliament in 1972. Adoption is a religious need of Hindus but Islamic Shariah does not approve of it. Ahle Hadeeth across the country along with other like-minded Jam’aats protested against the Adoption Bill. As a result of this, the Government withdrew the Bill in 1978 and Muslims were exempted from the provision of the Bill in 1980.

In 1978 the Lucknow bench of Allahabad High court pronounced a verdict whereby the Government was declared entitled to acquire mosque and graveyards. Jamiat Ahle Hadeeth raised a movement against it. As a result, the Govt. of Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan withdrew these orders to acquire such lands.
In 1986 the Jamat Ahle Hadeeth launched a countrywide campaign against the Supreme Court verdict in the Shah Bano case alongwith other organisations.
