Udupi : Jamaat-e-Islami Hind is conducting an all India campaign called “Muslim Personal Law Awareness Campaign from the 23rd April till 7th May 2017 all over the country, said Humaira Udupi District Convener, Women’s Wing.

She addressing to media persons at Udupi Press Club on Tuesday, 25th April, 2017 said that soon after Independence voices are being regularly raised against the Muslim Personal Laws and plots and intrigues are being continuously hatched to abolish these laws. However recently this exercise has become more intense and the real intentions of the government have come into open. The attitude that the Supreme Court has adopted during the hearing of a case of a non-Muslim couple with regarding to triple Talaq and polygamy, the manner which the Law Commission issued the questionnaire, and the stand of the Central Government has rightfully disturbed the Muslim organizations, Islamic Scholars, Muslim intellectuals, social workers and all other serious minded people of the country.

It has become essential now to take serious notice regenerate the desire and passion in them to strictly follow and adhere to the family laws of Islam, make the people of other communities understand that Family Laws of Muslims are part of the Quranic Ordinances and are based on justice and fair play, and also make it clear to the Government that the Muslims will not tolerate any interference in the Laws bestowed by Allah and that they are ready to offer any sacrifice in order to protect their Personal Law.

Islam gives guidance in every segment of human life and formulates laws for its followers. A part of these laws are those which pertain to family life and in which the rights and responsibilities of the members of a family have been fixed. These laws are known as the Personal Law or the Family Law.

At the present time a campaign against the Muslim Personal Law has been stirred up all over the country seemingly under a very well formulated plot. It is being propagated that under the Muslim Personal Law, Muslim women are oppressed and that it does not treat them with justice and fairness, and hence it is the responsibility of the government to provide them with justice under the Constitution; this aspect of the Muslim Personal Law has been taken up to target it.

Today a large segment of Muslim society suffers from ignorance about Islamic family laws and many in the community do not follow all the laws in their true letter and spirit. Courts of the land often pass judgments contrary to the position of Islamic Shariat on disputes related to Muslim Personal Law and these judgments become legal precedents. Legislative bodies also interfere in MPL while the media portrays a one sided image of MPL.

Right since independence, Muslims of India have clearly stated that they reject the idea of uniform civil code. They have opposed all attempts by courts or legislative bodies to interfere in Muslim Personal Law. Adequate efforts have not been made by them to educate the Muslim masses about the Islamic teachings and to undertake reform of the Muslim society, in order to eliminate the violation of Shariat. It must be recognized that the primary reason for violation of Shariat is large scale ignorance of Muslim masses and lack of sincere commitment to Islamic norms. A large segment of Muslim society does not even know the basis of Islam. Many Muslims do not know the rules and instructions which would guide them in matters of marriage, divorce inheritance and the like. Hence, there is an imperative need to educate, uplift and morally reform the Muslim society as a whole.

Equipping Muslims with authentic knowledge about Islam and their moral upliftment are the primary steps. It has the potential to create healthy family which is basic prerequisite for survival of society. The Muslim law protects the honor and dignity of women; it restores their human rights and ensures sensible liberty for them. It is expected that when the Indian public opinion is properly educated about the beauty of Islamic law, it will not be deceived by the ill conceived notion of uniform civil code. Jamaat – e- Islami Hind appeals to all sincere persons to participate in its comprehensive campaign for reforming the Muslim society and for educating the people of our country at large.

Shahida Riyaz Women’s Wing Organizer, Udupi Unit, Kulsoom Abubakkar member of Udupi unit, Mehrunnisa Udupi and Jamila member of Hoode Udupi unit were present during the press meet at Udupi Press Club.
