PRESS RELEASE : 02-01-2001PIOUS MUSLIMS SHALL ABIDE BY THE FATWA (Religious Decree) OF WISE RIGHTEOUS MUFTI (Islamic Clergy) UNTIL GOVERNMENT AND JUDICIARY IS OBEDIENT TO ALLAH - HIS PROPHET (SAWS) – THE QURAN – THE HADIS (TRADITION OF PROPHET ) – Joint Statement of Ameer & Secretary-General
Hazrat Shah Ahmadullah Ashraf Ibn Hafezzee Huzur and Maulana Muhammad Zafarullah Khan, Ameer-e-Shariah and Secretary-General respectively of Bangladesh Khelafat Andolon, have issued Joint-Statement regarding the recent verdict of 2 judges of Bangladesh High Court in an effort to put ban on FATWA (Islamic Regious Decree) :
STATEMENT :(excerpts)
“ Pious Muslims shall abide by the Fatwa ( religious decree/verdict) of the wise righteous Mufti (Islamic Clergy authorized to issue Reigious Decree) until government and judiciary is obedient to Allah-Prophet (SAWS) – the Quran – the Hadis (tradition of Prophet Sallaho Alaihee Wa Sallam ). The malpractices of the village chiefs in collaboration with the mercenary clergies is not recognized in Islam as Fatwa.
“ We have not seen the full text of the controversial verdict of the High Court regarding Fatwa. But it appears to be a result of international conspiracy which can be read from the applause with which the local mercenaries of the international enemies of Islam have greeted the verdict of the High Court. In the past military ruler of Pakistan General Ayub Khan had tried to implement Muslim Family Ordinance which was drafted by an atheist named Fazlur Rahman under the dictate of the international enemies of Islam. Pious Muslims of the nation led by Hazrat Shamsul Haque Faridpurir @ Sadar Saheb Huzur (Peace be upon him) had rejected that black ordinance at that time. Because the mercenaries of the international enemies of Islam have been ruling this nation till date, those black ordinances still exist in papers. When Allah will Bless the nation with Divine Leadership in its Government, people will throw away those refuses.”

The meeting discussed in detials the situation arising out of the verdict of 2 heretic judges of Bangladesh High Court against FATWA (Religious Decree of Islam). Members of the Central Committee expressed their firm determination to defeat the heretics at all costs. They were of the opinion that the movement against the 2 heretic judges of Bangladesh was originally a religious movement. But the ruling government of Bangladesh instead of removing the judges pormoted the main culprit to Appellate Division of the Supreme Court and patronized the anti-Islamic NGOs and incited patry cadres of the ruling party Awami League and the Government Police and security forces to attack and oppress the Islamic Clergy, Madrasa Students and Islamic institutions.
