New Delhi : At this time there is a big controversy about the Waqf Board in the country. The Waqf Board Amendment Bill has been approved in Parliament. The Waqf Board Amendment Bill will soon become a law. Waqf boards play an important role in Muslim countries around the world. Meanwhile, this dispute is hot in the country and another statement has come out. Governing member Mohammad Tauhidi, a governing member of the Global Imam Council (GIC), has given an important statement on the Waqf Board.
Tauheedi has expressed his views in the backdrop of the ongoing Waqf Board dispute in India. He has said that everyone should follow the law. In addition, the Waqf Board should focus on the service of Islam, Muslim community and humanity. The United Arab Emirates should be imitated for this.
UAE Waqf Board
According to the information received, the UAE’s Waqf Board is a business organization. This organization is working legally in the society. This institution is recognized and respected in the community. This organization works to make transparent management of religious places. This organization takes care of the management of temples, churches and other places of worship not only for Muslims. This government organization takes care of all religious places. No religion is given special preference. This is a feature of the UAE’s Waqf Board.
‘We need a law for all’ – Tauhidi
According to Tauheedi, the Waqf Board should work with progressive, generous and human outlook. He clearly stated, “This law should not be different on the basis of religion, there should be a law for all,” he said that in some countries the Waqf Board is under the influence of extremists. This has made religious places a means of polarization. Tauhidi’s statement was not of administrative nature, but shows an ideological attitude.
India should adopt UAE’s Waqf model: Tauhidi
Tauheedi has also suggested adopting the UAE model in India. For this, equal rights, equal responsibilities and equal adherence to law are necessary for all religions. He emphasized that Waqf institutions need to play a wide role in serving society and ensuring transparent management.
