Jamiat site promises to end Islam’s misreading

The executive council meeting, chaired by JUH president Maulana Qari Syed Mohammad Usman, was of the view that “there’s a need for a website whereby allegations against Islamic teachings, Quranic commandments, and Prophet Muhammad could be countered in an academic way”.

Jamiat spokesperson and secretary Moulana Abdul Hameed Nomani, who is also convener of the committee said: “We hope that the website would clear the air and would allay prejudices against Islam.” The Jamiat’s plan to launch the website last year was stalled due to infighting. Jamiat leader and RLD MP Maulana Mahmood Madani had deputed graduates from Darul Uloom Deoband, who were conversant with both English and Arabic.
