Controller has given feedback that due to some of the Senior Ulamah not knowing English it has to be done in both languages. Feedback will be given and the second half of the program is primarily in English.

Join ICOP and give feedback.

What was the outcome of the discussion? Who were the Ulama present? Were both sides properly represented? Was the panel chair unbiased?

A very dear, beloved and older Maulana repeatedly asked me just now to give him feedback.

I am bitterly disappointed and depressed over last night so all I said, “There are nearly 2 million Muslim in UK. Not all are Pakistani, Indian, Mirpuri, Gujrati or even Deobandi but they are all Ummati of Nabi (Sallallaho Alaihe Wassallam). This should be our foremost concern in everything”

During the program, I had emailed brother Qamar Uddin of ICOUK (in which your were also CC'd) mentioning a few things which I thought were important too.

 

[quote="abu mohammed"]

Salaam,

As the discussion is going on, much is being said about wifaq, MashaAllah.

But I think Hizbul Ulama should also be named, mentioned and discussed.

A very important point to make also is the fact that ALL the other Masajid follow HU and are wrong. They should make it clear.

Also I believe they should mention that the Barelwi Ulama have the correct approach and as mentioned by Mufti Qasim, (since they ask him for advice too) they are correct and put to shame the other Deobandi Masjid.

Second email:

I still think that the Barelwi should be given credit where due and this should be done openly to create a sense of unity.

The presenter made mention of it, but I think he made a little mistake by saying "No, we haven't joined hands with the Barelwi" rather he should've said that they too were/are on Haq in this case.

So what if we make ourselves look a little small, at least inshaAllah one day there will be unity in one way or the other.

Khair, Allahu alum. You brother's know the real deal and are far more experienced than me.

Hope to see more about this in the near future.

It would be wise to also bring on other imams from other schools to show how united we can be.

One of the speakers responded regarding last nites program. I thought I'd share it here as some members had opted out of the ICOUK subscription. (maybe accidental, inshaAllah.

Assalamuallykum waRahmatullahi waBarakatuh.

I note that we haven't had too many positives from the programme. None of us are media experts and therefore sincere apologies if the programme wasn't to everyone's liking.

The aim and objective of this urgently arranged programme was to address the false sighting news from Lisbon and explain why doing Eid on Thursday was incorrect. The very fact that Imam Qasim was able to give his personal time and more importantly live air time on Iqra TV should at least be appreciated. You may recall he frequently mentioned that this is just a start of many more discussions in the future Insha Allah.

As regards to Urdu / English preferences, this was because the respected guests who spoke in Urdu were not fluent in English so surely if they have been invited as guests then what choice was there? Either speak in Urdu or say nothing? The very people who have been mis leading the masses in this country, aren't they all actually Urdu speaking?

I have been assured that future programmes will be properly advertised Insha Allah and in English and Urdu.

Someone also mentioned that both parties should have been there. This was arranged at a very short notice and was supposed to be an informative discussion rather than a debate. So in future they will be asked to come but I doubt very much if they do as they are not going to defend the un defendable. They have previously cancelled meetings at the last moment after months of notice was given.

May I suggest that we start a new discussion on the topic of "Future Iqra TV Programmes". This would give everyone opportunity to make their suggestions and also give subjects for the presenter (probably Sheikh Sulayman GANI and Br Qamaruddin).

There is a very big event being organised for 21/22 Sept Insha Allah. Details to follow soon.

I am quite happy if people want to continue make constructive criticism. That will only help in rectifying any mistakes which were made and encourage the experts to host even more programmes Insha Allah

Wassalaam

Abdul Aziz
