LUCKNOW -- The Shia Personal Law Board on Tuesday called for an amicable settlement to the Ram Janmabhoomi dispute and sought a blanket ban on cow slaughter.
At the fifth meeting of its executive, members of the body raised the issue of cow slaughter and it was unanimously decided that in view of the tensions between two communities, it was in the interest of all that the government ban it.
In Quran, the members said, slaughtering of the cow was said to be against the tenets of Islam and should henceforth be banned.
A cleric from the Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti Dargah in Ajmer, Syyed Jail Obaidin Ali Khan openly discussed the controversy surrounding cow slaughter and called for an end to it. "In the background of the rising tensions and the laid down sayings in Quran, we should ban slaughter of cows and sale of its meat," he said.
He also said that the custom of triple talaq in modern day was not feasible, irrelevant and against the spirit of Quran.
Other speakers also agreed that when a marriage is solemnised with the consent of the bride and the groom, even a matter like divorce should have the consent of both.

"Prophet said cow milk is elixir, meat harmful": Shia cleric Maulana Kalbe Sadiq

LUCKNOW: Expressing concern over the unpleasant turn of events over the issue of cow slaughter, senior Shia cleric and vice president of the All India Muslim Personal Law Board, Maulana Kalbe Sadiq, on Thursday said that consuming cow meat is not a mandatory part of Islam.
The internationally acclaimed cleric Sadiq reiterated a hadith of Prophet Mohammad according to which the Prophet had prohibited people from eating cow meat proclaiming it leads to diseases, while its milk works as an elixir. Maulana Kalbe Sadiq was addressing the on going Khamsa (five days) majlis at Imambara Agha Baquir in Lucknow. He, however, communal controversies are created when elections are either underway or round the corner.
Sadiq said that Muslims love the country as anyone else as it is their motherland. For the Shia community he further said, 'When certain Arab tribes were hungry for our blood centuries ago, we found a safe haven in India. How can we hate our mother then?' He however said that as much as he is for and of the country, he is against those who want the country to boil in communal discord and create rift among people. And for those who say that we are lesser Indians or not Indians at all, our love and devotion to the country is immense,' he said.

Shia body suggests table talks for Babri Masjid issue, demands ban on cow slaughter
Yusra Husain| TNN | Apr 5, 2017, 11.05 PM IST
LUCKNOW: The issue of Babri Masjid and Ram Janmbhoomi should be settled out of court through table talks and not out on the roads amidst slogans of 'Allah-o-Akbar' and 'Jai Shri Ram' that are politically motivated, said members of the All India Shia Personal Law Board (AISPLB), in Lucknow, on Wednesday.
Conducting its executive meeting on the day at Shia PG College in the old city, the board also demanded that the central government form a stringent law against the arbitrary triple talaq in-one-sitting, on the lines of Sati prohibition.
Discussing other controversial issues, the board also reiterated that cow slaughterand eating cow meat was 'forbidden' if it hurts people's sentiments and asked for a complete ban on cow slaughter across India. "Recently we had sent a query on the issue of cow slaughter in India that at times leads to violence and communal disharmony, to Iraq based Ayatullah Bashir Al Najafi. He replied to it saying that it was haraam if human blood is at stake over animal blood and we should be considerate towards the countrymen of the land we live in," explained spokesperson Maulana Yasoob Abbas.
The board also demanded that a separate commission to decipher social, religious and economic issues of the Shia community should be formed by the union government, since the Sachar Committee formed under UPA had left the community out. "Whether the committee's findings were implemented or not is not our concern since. There should now be a different committee for the rights of Shias," added Abbas.

Now, ‘Shia gau raksha dal’ will check cow slaughter
This Gau Raksha Dal will create awareness drives, especially in Muslim dominated localities in the first phase of its action. In the second phase, it will focus on those parts of the state that are infamous for cow slaughter.
CITIES Updated: Apr 30, 2017 10:33 IST
This Gau Raksha Dal will function in two phases. In the first phase, members will create awareness drives, especially in Muslim-dominated localities.
“Work under phase one has already started. We are distributing pamphlets and other literature to create awareness on the issue among the masses. We are also using social media to expand our group by roping in more members,” Shamsi said.
He asserted that the initiative was getting a good response on social media. “People from both Hindu and Muslim communities are hailing the concept and expressing willingness to join the group.”
In the second phase, the group members will throw light on those parts of the state that are infamous for cow slaughter. “There are many localities in the state where cow slaughter is still in practice. These places are far from the reach of the district administration and the police. We will be highlighting these places to ensure action against illegal slaughter,” said Shamsi.
Even as Shamsi announced his group of cow protectors, the Supreme Court directed the Centre and six states including Uttar Pradesh to respond within three weeks on a PIL seeking a ban on ‘gau rakshak dals’ which often take the form of lawless groups that have assaulted alleged cow smugglers.
