Joint General Secretary of Bangladesh Awami League and lawmaker of Kushtia-3 Mahbub Ul Alam Hanif has said the madrasa in the country must sing the national anthem and hoist the national flag. Because it is under constitutional obligation.

Hanif said If you want to live in this country, you have to abide by the constitution. There is no chance of going beyond the constitution.

“I am telling the imams of the mosques that various misinformation and misinterpretations about the sculpture are creating confusion among the people. You will clearly say in your sermon in the mosque that sculpture in Islam is neither conflicting nor forbidden. We do not want misinterpretation against the country on this sculpture issue,” Hanif said.

Hanif told it during an exchange of views with the imams and ulama of the mosque in Kushtia on Thursday with the aim of countering terrorism, militancy and subversive activities.

Hanif further told that all have to unite strongly against those who want to hinder the development and progress of the country by working against the government and the state by using home-based politics as a tool by cultivating superstitions.

Hanif on questioned that which Waz Mahfil has changed the society? “Hypocrisy should have a limit,” he said.

“I have listened to over 500 waz mahfils on YouTube for hours on end. I have listened to almost all the speakers. Delwar Hossain Sayedee used to say in his waz that donation to the temple or church is shrik. But this Sayedee was an MP in 2001. Then he himself went to Pujamandab. And immediately gave a grant of tk 50 thousand. They also changed Waz's statement at their convenience. Mawlana Tariq Monwar said in a meeting that he was a teacher at Oxford University. He has also played in the English Premium League. Another Maulana Ibrahim; He has been talking about corona virus. He also gave the formula of the medicine.

My question is what morality are they teaching by these lies? What will ordinary people learn from them? They do not explain to them what Allah will reward them for doing good deeds. There is another Amir Hamza. He is on continue to bizarre explanation after another before the nation. Which Islam are you actually establishing?

“You go to Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Turkey, Iran, Indonesia, there are sculptures in all countries. There is no city in Iran without sculpture. Attempts to establish Islam in '47 will not work here. There are also numerous sculptures in Pakistan.

Hanif said Islam is the religion of the heart. Hefazat Islam is doing politics here in the name of defending Islam. Islam does not need any custody for the protection of Islam. Almighty Allah Ta'ala Himself is the guardian of Islam.

Bangabandhu never took any hasty decision. He called for independence on March 7, 1971 with the mandate of the people, uniting the whole nation. One of the four principles on which gave birth to the state of Bangladesh was 'secularism'. Secularism means everyone will follow their religion. Our Prophet (peace be upon him) also instructed us not to go too far with religion.

This group opposed our great liberation war with misinterpretation of religion. There is no place for injustice in Islam. They formed the Razakar Al-Badr forces with misinterpretation of religion. Carried out indiscriminate genocide.This group has never accepted independence. They objected to Bangabandhu as the father of the nation but they had no difficulty in accepting Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah as the father of the nation.

“I am telling my scholars and brothers that these miscreants are keeping you away from the people by misinterpreting the religion. You keep your eyes open. Understand the difference between real and fake. The religion of peace, do not try to establish anarchy in the name of Islam.

Madrasa teachers are now being charged with rape. Where is their morality? Islam should be kept in the heart, not the clothes. Not pro-Pakistan Islam; The Islam of the Prophet (peace be upon him) must be established. It is not possible to establish Islam through Waz mahfil. Proper practice of religion, honesty, morality, human values will truly establish Islam.

There will be no benefit to Islam in all these irrelevant, irrational, fictional waz mahfils. Islam is a complete way of life. If the rules of life of Islam are followed properly, the path of this world becomes beautiful and the path to heaven in the hereafter becomes easier along that path.

With Kushtia Deputy Commissioner (DC) in the chair, the event was addressed among others by Kushtia-1 MP AKM Sarwar Jahan Badsha, Kushtia-4 MP Barrister Selim Altaf George, Superintendent of Police SM Tanvir Arafat and Mayor of Kushtia municipality Anwar Ali, Awami League Kushtia district unit president Sadar Uddin Khan.
