All India Ulema and Mashaikh Board (AIUMB) and Jama’at-e-Ahl-e-Sunnat Karnataka organized, for the first time in India, the unveiling of the famous book “Khasas-e-Ali” written by Imam Nasai at India Islamic Cultural Center (published by Dr. Syed Afzal Pirzada Research Center). The book is contain on 1200 pages.

A symposium was organized in which a large number of delegates, professors, researchers, intellectuals and journalists from various Islamic countries (Turkey, Iraq, Iran and Indonesia) participated and expressed their views.

In his presidential address, Syed Muhammad Ashraf Miyan, founder and President of the AIUMB, said that despite having the largest collection of Islamic literature in Persian after Arabic, no stable mechanism has yet been developed to use Persian sources.

He further said that the literary work done by the team and board members of Syed Tanveer Hashmi is commendable. “This blessed act is in fact the Sunnah of the Prophet’s Companions, because this is how they distinguished between believers and hypocrites. They used to check who participated in the remembrance of Hazrat Ali” and who eschewed it. “Mentioning Ali frequently is in fact the prophetic tradition (Sunnah) and that of the Companions. Thus, the relationship of Ali with the holy Prophet (PBUH) is the point of unity for the Muslim Ummah”, he said.

The Ambassador of Turkey, on this occasion, said: “I congratulate Hazrat Syed Mohammad Ashraf and Hazrat Syed Tanveer Hashmi for the momentous work they are doing. ” Our presence in this historical moment in itself is a great blessing for us”, he said.
Mr. Ghazi Al-Tawfi, National General of the Republic of Iraq, said that Hazrat Ali is the main door to knowledge.
The Ambassador of the Republic of Iran, Mr. HE, Dr. Ali Cheghni said that the number of people who love Hazrat Ali and the books written on him are the highest in India. In this beautiful country, even non-Muslims love Hazrat Ali.
Mr. Mahesh Sahariya (Consul General of Indonesia) said that reading this book will help us to recognize the truth and falsehood so that we can establish justice in our countries.

Hazrat Syed Tanveer Hashmi said that in every age, the groups of Kharijites and the Nasibis have not only desecrated the holiness of the Ahlul Bayt (Prophet’s household) and the Prophetic tradition but also caused Islam and Muslims severe hardships, and even today they are causing humiliation and harm to us. Therefore, there was a need for some effective measures to be taken as a remedy. For this, the All India Ulama and Mashaikh Board and the Jamaat-e-Ahl-e-Sunnat Karnataka decided to publish “Khasais-e-Ali” as the antidote to this poison. It is necessary to carry forward the knowledge of Ali along with the Prophetic traditions. Maulana Hashmi further said that Maulana Qari Zahoor Ahmad Faizi is a great researcher and historian who has rendered a great service through his Commentary on the Khasais-e-Ali.

Haji Syed Salman Chishti said that this achievement of Dr. Syed Afzal Pirzada Research Center is a great gift for the global Muslims which has to be maintained and acted upon. Syed Aal e Mustafa alias Ali Pasha Qadri said that Hazrat Imam Nisai and his place in the science of Hadith is very high. And he was also a great lover of the Prophet, he gave his life for the protection of the honorable Ahl-e-Bayt. “This book was never digested by the Umayyads, and when the author Imam Nisa’i recited this book to them, they not only disliked him but rather Imam Nisai was severely beaten and martyred”, he concluded.

Prof. Akhtarul Wasey said that it was not easy for Hazrat Imam Nisa’i to write “Khasas-e-Ali”, and that the compilation of this Commentary was long overdue. “It should have happened long ago, but now it is our responsibility to introduce this book in the curriculum of Madrasas and Universities so that the students can understand the life and teachings of Hazrat Ali”, Prof. Wasey said.

Prof. Khawaja Muhammad Ikramuddin (JNU) said that translations and commentaries not only play a vital role in nurturing knowledge and art but also have a great role to play in communication and transmission as well as in the call for faith (Dawat) and preaching. Had it not been for remarkable commentaries, we would not have been able to understand Islam so easily. He concluded that it is highly important that such research work and commentaries continue to be published.

Maulana Maqbool Ahmad Salik Misbahi, AIUMB spokesperson said that whenever the honor and dignity of Ahl-e-Bait was attacked, Allah Almighty raised up one or the other sincere lover who fought against the enemies of Ahl-e-Bait. Dr. Wahid Nazeer of Jamia Millia Islamia said that the background story of Khasais-e-Ali and its compilation and composition is very painful. Just as Imam Hussain A.S was martyred and killed in the battlefield of Karbala, his lovers, in every age, have been attacked and injured through bad mouths and insults. He paid tribute to Imam Ali through his Urdu poetry.

The program was started by Qari Samiullah Qadri with recitation of a few Qur’anic verses. Hafiz Syed Mohammad Areez Hashmi recited beautiful couplets of Naat-e-Rasool. On this occasion, All India Ulama and Mashaikh Board, along with Jamaat-e-Ahl-e-Sunnat Karnataka hosted a reception for all the ambassadors, delegates, Ulema and Mashaikhs and professors of universities, journalists and intellectuals who attended the conference.

Hazrat Syed Mohammad Ashraf Kachuchhovi called on all the distinguished delegates present in the auditorium such as, His Excellency Mr. Firat Sunel Ambassador of the Republic of Turkey in India, His Excellency Ghazi Al-Tawfi (Consul General of the Republic of Iraq), His Excellency Mahesh Sahariya (Consul General of Indonesia), His Excellency HE Dr. Ali Chighni, (Ambassador, Republic of Iran), Prof. Akhtarul Wasey, Prof. Khawaja Mohammad Ikramuddin, Prof. Ghulam Yahya Anjum, Prof. Wahid Nazir, Prof. Aleem Ashraf, Prof. Alvi, Hafiz Mohammad Ali Qadri, Mufti Mohammad Ali Qazi Misbahi. At this enthusiastic reception, a Momento, and a beautiful bouquet of flowers and handkerchiefs were presented.

The moderator of the program, Hazrat Maulana Dr Muhammad Ali Qazi, General Secretary of Jamaat-e-Ahl-e-Sunnat Karnataka, and Maulana Azeem Ashraf of the Ulama and Mashaikh Board Office in Delhi, presented a copy of the book Sharh-e-Khasais-e-Ali to all the guests.

In addition to the above mentioned dignitaries, other guests in the program included Hazrat Maulana Ishtiaq Ahmad Barkati, Maulana Muhammad Yaqub Ali Khan Qadri, Syed Shadab Hussain Rizvi Ashrafi, Ghulam Rasool Dehlavi, Qazi Noman Ahmad, Maulana Muhammad Zafaruddin Barkati, Maulana Abdul Karim, Maulana Saddam Hussain, Maulana Shah Jahan Ashrafi, Maulana Mubashir Ashrafi, Maulana Waseem Ahmad Ashrafi, Qari Ansar Ahmad Barkati, Mr. Ijaz ul Haq Barakati, Mr. Rafiuddin, Mr. Wakil Ahmad Ashrafi, Salempur, Maulana Musharraf Hussain Ashrafi, Maulana Ibn Ali Ashrafi and dozens of scholars and shaykhs of Delhi and NCR. The participation of a few women in this conference also made the program a great success with their participation. At the end, prayers were offered for peace and prosperity in the country.

Report says children dies highest rate in Pakistan due to malnutrition

Unhygienic atmosphere and lack of family planning are attributed to malnutrition and causing early death among children in Pakistan. Malnutrition in children and mothers is a serious issue in many developing countries all over the world. Pakistan has not been faring any better as we regularly read reports about deaths that are mostly the result of malnutrition, according to Dawn. Earlier, the problem in Pakistan is that a large number of infants somehow do not get the required vaccination at appropriate intervals. There is also a need to collect reliable data from across Pakistan from both government and private clinics and health facilities as most data from private hospitals do not reach the government record. Further, there are at least two strategies that both federal and provincial governments must follow. Reducing malnutrition among children and mothers should be the top priority of all concerned departments and ministries, according to Dawn. Also, an expanded programme of vaccinating children as and when they turn six, 10, and 14 months old will help as recommended by World Health Organization. According to some estimates, approximately 90,000 children die annually in Pakistan due to the pneumonia virus alone that affects malnourished children more than healthy children. The coverage of immunization will not help much if children and mothers lack the required nutrition during prenatal and post-natal years, according to Dawn. Further, the absence of prenatal care and traditional delivery methods compound the problem and become the main contributing factors in this problem. Recent surges in inflation and high prices of essential food items have added to the malnutrition among children and mothers, according to News International. Source: ANI

Performance at UNSC indicates world needs New Delhi at the table permanently: India

Though being a non-permanent member of the UN Security Council, performance of India indicates that the world needs new delhi to be at the horseshoe table permanently, the country's envoy to the United Nations TS Tirumurti has said. "India took its place in the Security Council for the eighth time as an elected member - The highlight of our presence in the Security Council so far has been our presidency in August," Mr Tirumurti, who is India's Permanent Representative to the UN, said in a video. India's Permanent Mission to the UN posted the special video highlighting the several achievements by India as its first year in the UN Security Council draws to a close. The video chronicles India's journey as a non-permanent UNSC member in 2021 including its Presidency of the 15-nation Council in August, on combatting terrorism, UN peacekeeping, Afghanistan, Myanmar, Africa, Middle East and Climate action. "Our performance again indicates that the world needs India to be at the horseshoe table permanently," Mr Tirumurti said, as he underscored the need for New Delhi to have a seat at the UN Security Council as a permanent veto-welding member. Narendra Modi also became the first Indian Prime Minister to preside over a UN Security Council Open Debate as he chaired the high-level session on 'Enhancing Maritime Security - A Case for International Cooperation' on August 9. For the first time, the Security Council adopted a presidential statement on maritime security. The visit of the Indian Prime Minister to the United Nations and to address the UN General Assembly was "certainly a high point this year", he said. It was during India's August presidency of the Council that the situation in Afghanistan rapidly deteriorated, requiring the Security Council to act without any delay, Mr Tirumurti said, adding that Resolution 2593 on Afghanistan was adopted under India's presidency, which demands assurances that Afghan soil will not be used for terrorism against other countries and that the authorities in Kabul will act against all terrorists, including those designated by the 1267 Sanctions Committee. Significantly, India firmly opposed the attempt by countries to bring the issue of climate change into the Security Council. Mr Tirumurti had said at the Council meeting earlier this month that "India is second to none when it comes to climate action and climate justice. But the Security Council is not the place to discuss either issue. In fact, the attempt to do so appears to be motivated by a desire to evade responsibility in the appropriate forum." At the flag installation ceremony in the beginning of the year for the incoming UNSC members, Mr Tirumurti had highlighted that India comes into the Security Council "as a largest democracy, representing 1/6 of humanity and a very strong commitment to reformed multilateralism, rule of law, a fair and equitable international system and to peace, security and development." Mr Tirumurti also said in the video that India has been consistent in its support for transition to democracy, whether in Myanmar or in Africa and on issues affecting the developing world, India has been a strong voice to protect their interests."Our steadfast commitment to safeguarding the interests of the developing world is reflected in our performance," he said. Further, given its predominant role in UN peacekeeping, India gave UN peacekeeping a strong focus in the last one year, including during its August Presidency.During a meeting in August, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar had said that peacekeeping continues to play a crucial role in India's vision of ensuring international peace and security and providing greater clarity, direction and professionalism in UN peacekeeping operations is at the heart of the vision. After nearly five decades, India piloted a resolution on 'Protecting the Protectors', calling for accountability for crimes against peacekeepers. India also gifted 200,000 COVID vaccines to cover every peacekeeper in every peacekeeping mission throughout the world. Indian forerign minister Jaishankar had also chaired a briefing on ISIL Daesh during India's presidency and New Delhi helped shape the Global Counterterrorism Strategy in the UN General Assembly. During the year, India also sought to bring the necessary balance to the debates relating to Africa, Mr Tirumurti said adding that India made its views clear on the issue of burdening African countries with unrealistic benchmarks on their sanctions regime and called for greater commitment from the international community to assist Africa fight terrorism. India chaired the Taliban Sanctions Committee and the Libya Sanctions Committee this year and will chair the Counter-terrorism Committee next year. In a historic decision, the UN General Assembly granted observer status to the International Solar Alliance. Source: NDTV

Taliban should ensure women’s freedom: Pak media

A recent communication by the Taliban which put limitations on the movement of Afghan women is a grim reminder that Taliban governance is gradually slipping in a ground mood. The Express Tribune, in an editorial, advised the group to lower the guard on civil liberties and allow women to become part of the enterprising Afghan public life. According to new directives by the Taliban, women seeking to travel longer distances must be accompanied by a close male relative, and likewise, restrictions were slapped on showing dramas and soap operas on national television. Last but not least, the mandatory wearing of the hijab, curbs on higher education of girls and a ban on playing music are other aspects that hint at adopting stricter regulations, especially pertaining to women’s liberties and restricting their movement at ease. This will certainly cast the Taliban rulers in a bad light as far as the West is concerned, and also bring them under pressure even from their friends and admirers, said the editorial. Taliban, who are desperate to seek international recognition, and have time and again been reminded that release of their legal foreign assets and humanitarian aid is indispensable to keep them going has not completed a single parameter to get the recognition. Respect for women and human rights, establishing inclusive government, not allowing Afghanistan to become a safe haven of terrorism are the preconditions for the recognition set by the international community. The Taliban are still longing for a de jure status in the comity of nations. This could be one factor of irksome behaviour as Taliban try to adopt a more theocratic approach in state business visible in the latest instructions and policy guidance from the group, wrote The Express Tribune. Enabling girls to get an education and drive vehicles and giving them permission to work in offices and perform daily chores will be appreciated, and is a must in today’s interdependent lifestyle where men and women together help families to make ends meet. The Saudis have led from the front in reforming their society, and the Taliban should take a cue from them, added the editorial. Source: ANI

Punjab terror cases: Jaswinder Singh Multani being questioned in Germany

Jaswinder Singh Multani, an activist of the banned terror organization Sikhs for Justice (SFJ), was being questioned in Germany at the behest of Indian security agencies over his involvement in terror incidents in Punjab, officials privy to the development said today. The German Federal Police, in reply to a query by The Tribune on Multani, neither denied nor confirmed his arrest. In an e-mail communication, the press officer of the German police said as a matter of principle, they did not divulge personal information and the Indian authorities should be contacted for the purpose. A controversy had erupted earlier in the day when SFJ general counsel Gurpatwant Singh Pannu released a purported video, claiming Multani had not been arrested. He is also seen speaking with Multani in the video. Media reports from New Delhi claimed on Tuesday that efforts made by Indian diplomatic channels had led to the arrest of Multani after the Ludhiana court blast. Indian officials today chose to ignore the claims made by the SFJ. Interestingly, Pannu, in earlier video messages, had threatened different Punjab CMs and DGPs. But in today’s video, he said the SFJ believed in fighting through ballot, not bombs. Sources privy to the developments in Germany said Multani was a suspect in some recent terror incidents, with a Punjab Police dossier stating he was a “master handler” and expert in recruiting youth for terrorism and that he used to supply them money, weapons and explosives through narcotic smugglers or gangsters in the state. His name figures in two FIRs lodged in February and August in Punjab, including a plot to kill farmer leader Balbir Singh Rajewal to spread unrest and chaos. The police are suspecting his involvement in the Ludhiana court blast case. A controversy erupted on Wednesday when banned SFJ’s Gurpatwant Singh Pannu released a purported video, claiming that the outfit’s activist Jaswinder Singh Multani had not been arrested. He is seen speaking with Multani in the video. Indian officials chose to ignore the claims. Source: The Tribune
