Waqf Security Week begins as per instructions of Muslim Personal Law Board – Statements and black bands tied in mosques

Mumbai, April 11: Auqaf Security Week began today, Friday, April 11, as per the instructions of the All India Muslim Personal Law Board. Under this, statements were given by scholars and imams on the importance, necessity and effectiveness of Auqaf in most of the mosques in the city. The shortcomings of the current Waqf Amendment Act 2025 were highlighted. It was said that this new law of the government regarding Auqaf could put thousands of acres of land dedicated by our elders in India in danger. After this law, those who illegally occupy Auqaf will be considered legal after twelve years. Similarly, attention was also drawn to other dangerous aspects of this act.
The scholars told the people that we have to fight this struggle according to the fundamental rights given in the Constitution and the law in the light of the instructions of the All India Muslim Personal Law Board. Our fight is not against any religion or caste, but we are fighting to get back our snatched rights and we will continue this struggle till the end without accepting any provocation.
Due to late information, the Black Belt program could not be organized in many mosques. However, in many mosques, Namazis raised their voice against this cruel law by wearing black belts. Officials from various areas have said that with the will of God, the Black Belt program will be organized next Friday with full preparation.
Maulana Mahmood Ahmed Khan Dariyabadi, Maharashtra convener of the Board’s Waqf Suraksha Abhiyan, has said that although the first phase of the Waqf Suraksha Abhiyan will continue till July 7, a big press conference and several meetings with non-Muslim brothers will be organized during this Waqf Suraksha Week. Programs will be organized in various areas of the city. Human chains etc. are also being organized by taking the police and administration into confidence. Arrests will also be made as per requirement. Maulana Dariyabadi further said that discussions are also going on with senior officials of the administration for a massive protest program against the existing Waqf law at a major intersection in the city.
Black bands were seen on mosques in most parts of Maharashtra besides Mumbai’s surrounding areas like Mumbra, Bhiwandi and Mira Road and statements were also given by the Imams of the mosques.
