Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami central executive council member and Amir of Dhaka Metropolitan North Muhammad Salim Uddin said, ‘The hands of scholars are very strong and powerful. Imams and muezzins are highly respected and respected people in this country. Our khatibars have always played a historic role in the welfare of the country and nation. Which has helped to shake the foundations of dictatorship.’
He said these things in the speech of the chief guest at the discussion meeting titled ‘What to be done by the scholars and ulamas in the formation of new Bangladesh’ after the historical victory of the students in the anti-discrimination movement organized by Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami in Rampura-Bada and Hatirjheel zone of Dhaka metropolis north in Badda of the capital on Monday.
Mentioning that scholars and ulama are the awakened conscience of the nation and the successors of the prophets, he urged the scholar community to play the role of vanguard in any crisis of the country and nation.
Muhammad Salim Uddin said, ‘When there was no opportunity to hold political meetings in the country, it was not possible to stop the Alem Samaj. They have played a helpful role in making the country and nation self-aware by criticizing the noble ideals of Islam, the undemocratic and autocratic rule of the government through various meetings-seminars, symposiums, waj and tafseer mahfils. Which the nation will forever remember with deep respect. Therefore, in this transitional period of the country and the nation, the awakened consciousness of the scholarly society must adopt the program of Quran and Hadith education in every house. Public opinion should be developed against all forms of oppression, injustice, lawlessness, extortion and immoral activities. They need to keep a watchful eye on the nation so as not to impose misrule on the shoulders of the nation. Essentially, Islamic ideals and values are the stepping stone for people’s welfare in this time and liberation in the hereafter. The Prophet was able to establish an Islamic welfare state through the Charter of Medina.’
He urged the scholars to play a united role in establishing that dream society.
He said to the present scholars, ‘You should not think yourselves weak. He will play an important role in guiding the nation in the coming days too, Inshallah. And to propagate the noble ideals of Islam, the scholars should continue regular invitation meetings and family meetings. Special programs should be carried out targeting familiar people including neighbours. And thus the path of Islamic revolution will be easier and easier.
He called upon the scholarly community to always play the role of independent watchman in building that peaceful society.
