In Yogi Adityanath's UP, Muslims put out banners to build Ram temple

[Tshering22]

I was also offered money to abstain from my mission."

This is the most important part of the entire issue.

So ultimately it is all about money and not really establishing anything.

Well, that's the reality of jihad now... money.

 

[Brickwall]

If you can get to my old post. This is what I suggested. That let the construction of mandir continue and build mosque next to it. Don't like it ? OK, build Islamic research center next to mandir in a secured compound and make prayer hall there Inside The center.

In this way no communal hatred will take place and this Will serve as role models for future generations, that how Indians actually found amicable situation to diffuse unnecessary tension for greater good.

This is first time I am complete agreement with Pakistan member,At least putting such solution the communal parties will not have any more bush to beat around

Dehradun: The Muslim Rashtriya Manch has appealed to the Muslims to support the construction of Ram Temple at Ayodhya. National convener of the manch Mohammad Afzal said there was no evidence of the existence of mosque at the disputed site. He also said that there was no proof that the land belonged to the Waqf board. Members of the manch said that Muslims should continue collective efforts for building the temple.

Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath on Friday said there was no need for saints to demand anything since everything would happen on its own.

His remark appeared to be a possible reference to construction of the Ram Temple in Ayodhya. Saints have been raising this demand, especially now that the BJP has governments at the Centre and in UP. Adityanath hinted at the fulfilment of the saints’ demand. He added that all that the seers needed to do was bless him and his government.

Adityanath was speaking at the Sant Sammelan organised by Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) at the Parade ground in Allahabad. He took part in the event in his capacity as mahant (chief priest) of Gorakhnath temple. Temple construction was among the core issues on the sammelan agenda.

Accepting that were some hurdles in the temple construction, he said all would be overcome with the blessings of saints.

Lucknow, February 2

http://www.tribuneindia.com/news/na...es-to-build-ram-temple-in-ayodhya/537625.html

Whipping up a controversy, an IPS officer of the director general of police rank has openly favoured the construction of the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya “at the earliest”. Surya Kumar Shukla, DG, Home Guard, not only participated in an event on Ram Mandir organised at Lucknow University two days ago, but was also captured on camera taking a pledge to build the Ram Mandir.

The video of the 1982-batch Indian Police Service officer taking the pledge went viral on social and electronic media on Friday.


“We Ram-bhakts, today, as part of this programme, take this pledge that at the earliest, the Ram Mandir be constructed. Jai Shri Ram,” the video showed him saying.

Many other people were also seen taking the pledge with him at the event, where slogans of ‘Jai Shri Ram’ were raised.

Shukla, however, said he had done nothing wrong.

“I was taking a pledge to create an atmosphere of harmony. The video that has gone viral is an edited version and portions have been deleted deliberately to create mischief,” he said.

“It is misinterpretation...The matter related more to creating a peaceful environment for the construction of the temple rather than construction itself,” he said. Shukla said there was a discussion at the programme that if Hindus and Muslims talked of temple construction in Ayodhya and a mosque at a distance from there, then the dispute would end.

The Supreme Court had suggested that a way should be found through talks, he said. Commenting on the video, SP spokesman Rajendra Chaudhary termed it a violation of service rules by the IPS officer. “Shukla is a public servant, and he is not supposed to take such a pledge at a public function,” he said.

BJP Rajya Sabha MP Vinay Katiyar has said the Ram temple in Ayodhya will be constructed on the spot where "Ram Lala" is resting.

"I will not comment on how long will it take for it to be decided as the issue is now being heard by the Supreme Court," Katiyar, who was on a private visit to the district, told reporters, while replying to a query last night.

"We are waiting for the court verdict, but I will like to say that our Ram temple, for sure, will come up at the place where Ram Lala is resting...he (Ram idol) will continue (to remain) on the spot," he said, adding, "That land belongs to Lord Ram."

To a question, Katiyar said Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath were together working dedicatedly for the country and the state.

"Criminals are surrendering before the police on their own under the Yogi government," he added. PTI CORR SAB RC RC -

Ram Janmabhumi: We have ‘valid’ ownership papers, says Dharm Das Maharaj

“Since the apex court has clarified that only land dispute would be settled without going through the sentiments, and since we are in possession of valid ownership papers, we are confident that the decision would come in our favour,” Dharm Das Maharaj said

One of the main plaintiffs of Ram Janmabhumi dispute, Dharm Das Maharaj Tuesday said he was confident that the Supreme Court would rule in their favour as they had “valid” ownership papers. Das is also the Mahant of the Akhil Bhartiya Panch Ramanandi Nirmani Ani Akhara.

“Since the apex court has clarified that only land dispute would be settled without going through the sentiments, and since we are in possession of valid ownership papers, we are confident that the decision would come in our favour,” he said in Goverdhan. Das also said that the title of the land was in favour of Ramlala.

He was here to attend a two-day congregation of seers at the Shankaracharya Ashram for chalking out a strategy for the construction of Ram temple in Ayodhya. Das said he would pay obeisance to ‘Goverdhan Maharaj’, by performing ‘parikrama’ of the Goverdhan hillock.

“The parikrama is for the construction of the temple,” he said, adding that a delegation would soon meet the prime minister on the issue. Shankaracharya Adhokshjanand Tirth Mahraj said the congregation of seers was for constructive approach on the Ram temple issue.

“During my talk with few Muslim leaders, I have been assured the cooperation of the community provided the gesture is reciprocated for the construction of a mosque also,” he said.

Saints to decide whether to go ahead with an agitation

A meeting of the Sants Uchchadhikar Samiti, an empowered group of saints involved in the Ramjanmabhoomi movement, for October 5 to decide on whether or not to go ahead with an agitation. This is despite the Supreme Court scheduling the next hearing for October 29.

A meeting of the Samiti has been called for October 5 in the VHP headquarters in New Delhi. We expect the 40 members...to deliberate on the future course of action,” VHP spokesperson Vinod Bansal said. Saints from across the country, including members of the Ramjanmabhoomi Nyas, will attend the meeting. The names of Nyas leader Nitya Gopal Das and Pejawar Math seer Vishweshwara Teertha are doing the rounds, though the exact number of attendees has not been disclosed.

The VHP’s letter of invitation flagged the fact that in its assessment, it is unlikely that the court would decide on the case during 2018; therefore, there was a need to decide whether or not a programme should be launched.

Mr. Bansal confirmed as much: “The court has set the next date of hearing; it isn’t clear when the judgment will come.”

The VHP has gone through a churn early this year, with its long-time international president, Pravin Togadia, removed in what was considered an organisational coup. He fell foul of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the RSS, under which the VHP operates. Hence, the meeting of the Sants Uchchadhikar Samiti under the new VHP dispensation is significant as this will not be seen as hostile to the RSS or the government.

Seers seek joint session of Parliament

Empowered committee of sants and seers, the Sant Uchhadhikaar Samiti (SUS), on Friday passed a resolution demanding a law that would enable the construction of a Ram temple in Ayodhya, even as the Supreme Court has set October 29 as the next date of hearing in the case.

At a meeting at the New Delhi headquarters, 50 out of the 70 members invited to the meet passed a four-point resolution calling for a new law and building pressure on Parliament for the same, in what the organisation’s working president, termed a “final push” for the construction of a Ram temple in Ayodhya.

A delegation of a few members of the Sant Uchhadhikaar Samiti also called on President Ram Nath Kovind with a copy of its resolution and asked that the same be forwarded to Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Appeal to President
Swami Hansdevji, a member of the delegation, later said at a press conference that the President had assured that the letter would be forwarded.

Inside the meeting, according to a statement released some seers, including Swami Vasudevanand, also demanded a joint session of Parliament if need be. There were calls made to “remind Prime Minister Modi” of his “promise” of the construction of a Ram temple in Ayodhya. “By bringing such a Bill to Parliament it will be made clear who is a true devotee of Ram [Ram Bhakt] or not,” Swami Parmananda was quoted in the release as having said in the meeting.

Nationwide protests
Plans for a nationwide agitation, of meeting Governors of respective States and local MPs to press for such a Bill, were also discussed and cleared at the meeting.

Mr. Kumar said that if a law wasn’t passed in the winter session of Parliament, considered the last working session of the current government this term, then a Dharam Sansad of seers to be held during the Allahabad Kumbh on January 31 would decide future action.

On September 27, in the Ayodhya title suit appeals, a three-judge Bench of the Supreme Court, in a majority opinion, decided against referring the question “whether offering prayers in a masjid is an essential part of Islam” to a seven-judge Constitution Bench. With this, the court has signalled that it will decide the appeals like any other civil suit, based on evidence, and pay little heed to arguments about the “religious significance” of the Ayodhya issue and the communal strife it has caused.

The Bench said the hearing would start from October 29, leading to the question whether the court would deliver a judgment before the May 2019 general election. The appeals are against the September 30, 2010, decision of the Allahabad High Court to divide the disputed 2.77 acre area among the Sunni Waqf Board, the Nirmohi Akhara and Ram Lalla. The court had relied on Hindu faith, belief and folklore. It concluded that Lord Ram, son of King Dashrath, was born within the 1,482.5 square yards of the disputed Ramjanmabhoomi-Babri Masjid premises during the Treta Yuga. One of the judges added that the “world knows” where Ram’s birthplace is, while another said his finding was an “informed guess” based on “oral evidences of several Hindus and some Muslims” that the precise birthplace of Ram is under the central dome.

How did it come about?
The final hearings began before a Bench of Chief Justice of India (now retired) and Justices on December 5 last year. The day also happened to be demolition of the Bhagwan Shree Rama Mandir in 15th century by the Mongol foces. However, the Muslim appellants pointed to certain paragraphs in a 1994 five-judge Constitution Bench judgment in the case. One of these paragraphs stated that “a masjid is not an essential part of the practice of the religion of Islam and namaz [prayer] by Muslims can be offered anywhere, even in open.”

“So is the masjid not an essential part of Islam? Muslims cannot go to the garden and pray,” their lawyer and senior advocate Rajeev Dhavan told the court. He asked the Bench to freeze the hearing till this question is decided by a seven-judge Bench.

In their majority view, Chief Justice and Justice refused to send the question to a seven-judge Bench. Their opinion said the observations were made in the context of the Faruqui case, which was about public acquisition of places of religious worship. It should not be dragged into the Ayodhya appeals. The minority decision authored by Justice dissented with the majority on the Bench, and said this observation about offering prayer in a mosque had influenced the Allahabad High Court. He questioned the haste of the court.

Why does it matter?
The answer to this question is found in the maiden Supreme Court hearing of the appeals last year. Those present distinctly remember senior advocate suggest that the Bench post the hearings after July 15, 2019. Along with senior advocate, two more senior advocate argued that the dispute is not just another civil suit. The case covers religion and faith and dates back to the era of King Vikramaditya. It is probably the most important case in the history of India, which would “decide the future of the polity.”

Senior advocate said the government was using the judiciary to realise its agenda for a Ram temple, a promise in the ruling BJP’s 2014 election manifesto.

What next?
All eyes are on the new Chief Justice of India . Justice was also the lead judge on the Ayodhya Bench. The New Chief Justice may lead the Ayodhya Bench himself or appoint another judge. With the Lok Sabha election nearing, a request to adjourn the case until after the poll may also be made.

Imam Shafei has stated that according to his knowledge the institution of wakf did not exist among the people of the Jahily (the ignorance)*; Shibli Numani has opined that during the days of Abu Hanifa there did not exist any
Arabic translation of the Roman laws, the claim of the orientlists that Islam had borrowed its law from the Roman law is absolutely unfounded.

The genesis of wakf, says the author of Ghait-ul-Bayan, can be found in the saying of Prophet (SAW) in the following circumstances and handed down in succession by Ibn Auf, Nafe and Ibn Omer as reported in Jamaa -
Tirmizi.

Khaibar had a big estate comprising of garden of dates and agriculture land which was very fertile. It is also reported that there was only one big garden known by the name “Samaagh”. In 7th Hijra, Khaibar was captured by Muslims in a battle. Half of the land of Khaibar was distributed by Prophet (SAW) amongst Mujahideen. Hazrat Omer (R.A.) also got a piece of land which in his opinion was the most precious out of his whole estate. Before
this incident, it was revealed to Prophet (SAW):

In the view of the above Quranic commandment, Hazrat Omer thought that he has no better property than the one he got in Khaibar and decided to spend it in the way of Allah. He himself could not decide how to spend this
property so he approached to Prophet (SAW) who in turn advised Omar to make half of this property.

The word sadaqah has been derived from the root Sidiq. It is intermixed with truthfulness. No property, therefore, can be donated in the name of Allah unless donor has no other intention except to please Allah. The donor should give property in sadaqah without any ill motive or to get any temporal advantage. He should without any selfishness or self-aggrandizement donate property to earn pleasure of Allah.

Mongol King Sultan Muizuddin Sam Ghaori dedicated two villages in favour o f Jama Masjid o f Multan, in order to meet the expenses of the Jama Masjid, and for the five public lectures by the teachers for Mukabbiran and students, the functionaries o f the mosque e.g. the muezzins and Mukabbiran, and for other (incidental) expenses on prayers.

Mongol King Sultan Muizuddin Sam Ghaori created a wakf in favour o f the Jama Masjid Talbina, which is also known as the wakf o f Sultan Muizuddin Mohammad Sam Ghaori.

After the establishment o f Delhi Sultanate in 1206, a number of wakfs were created. During the period of Ultutmash, a magnificent mosque called"Shamsi Mosque" was built at Badaun under the supervision o f Ruknal-Din Firoz- the son of Sultan in the year 1230 A.D., when he was the Governor of Badaun.

The Sultans paid a good deal of their attention in not only preserving the then existing wakf buildings, but also constructing tombs, water reservoirs canals, roads, sarais, cities and educational institutions. Tarikh-e-Firoz Shahi also affirms the existence of a large number o f wakfs during this period."

Among other w akf properties include the centres established by Chesti Silislah Ajmer and Nagaur in Rajputana, Hans and Ajodhan in Punjab and some other towns in Uttar Pradesh.Sabiri at Kalyar and the Dargah o f Shaikh Ahmed Abdul Haqq at Rudauli are now registered as prominent wakfs o f the state with the office of the Sunni
Central Board o f Wakfs at Lucknow.

Of the two rare documents relating to Lodhi's period,the first document is the Parwanah of Masnad-i-Ali Mohammad Khan Lodhi,issued to Bandagi Miyan Shaykh Chaylda, regarding grant of two villages in the parganah o f Nidra in A. H. 899. The second document is the Farman of Sultan Ibrahim Lodhi issued in A. H. 929 with regard to land grant, made interms of Bigha and 300 Bighas o f uncultivated land out of the village Gonda was granted to Hasan son of Barkhurdar Husayn.

TYPES OF WAQF
In India there are three types of Waqf recognized as under:
i)Waqf by User
ii)Mashrut-ul-Khidamat
iii)Waqf-al-Al-Aulad
i)Waqf by user – where any piece of land or portion of a building has been used continuously for any religious or pious purpose the owner had no objection to it or has an intention to allow to continue such practice is called a
Waqf by user; example Masjid, Madrasah, etc.
ii)Mashrut-ul-Khidmat is a Public Waqf where the Waqf has devoted the property for the general benefit of Muslim
community.
iii) Waqf-al Al Aulad is that unique feature of Islamic law where a property is made Waqf for the welfare of the
Waqif's own family or his children or children of his children. It is called Waqf-al A/Aulad or Waqf for progeny.


Mohammad Ali Shah (the Third), a King of Awadh built in 1838, a mosque called, "Husainabad Mubarak"
later named as the Husainabad Endowment. In November 1839, he deposited with the East India Company at the Residency in Lucknow, a sum of Rs. 12 lakhs and by a deed of trust dated 23 November 1839, assigned its interest to two specified trustees and agent with a direction that the income therefrom should be devoted to the payment of pensions to a number of persons and to various religious and charitable purposes. The trustees and the agent were kings own servants. Under the deed, they were to hold office generation after generation and in the event of failure of any of these persons the British Resident was to elect a substitute from amongst the pensioners. He further deposited a sum of Rs 24 lakhs in the East India Company securities with the Resident. The securities now held by the Trust are of the face value of Rs. 3,787,500. Certain events , which occurred during the Mutiny of 1857, necessitated appointment of new Superintendents, namely, Nawab Mushinal-Dawlah and Mumtaz aI-Dawlah and an agent Sakhawat-Allah Khan and the trust forms were handed over to these new persons in 1860. This was, however,challenged in the Court of Law by the old trustees and the Government of India,therefore, had passed in 1878, in order to stabilize the authority of the new Trustees.

Muslim waqf'developed in India during British Rule is available and until 1920 no serious study was made to count the number of Muslim endowments in India. After 1920, several Sate and Central laws were placed on the Statute Book, which inter-alia, required the custodians of the waqfs properties compulsorily to register their endowments with theGovernment's agencies-Waqf Board, etc.of the number of Muslim waqfs in India. However, a serious study made in this direction by Prof. S. Khalid Raseed,recorded that about 100,000 Waqf properties are registered with the Indian Government.

For creation of waqf,it is not necessary that the settler should be aMuslim. A non-Muslim can also create under the Muslim Law a Waqf,provided the object of the waqf is one which is recognized by Muslim Law as pious,religious, or charitable and his own religion treats the object in the same manner.
However, the words "professing Islam" inclause [r] of Section 3 have been
remained purposely for otherwise all charitable and many pious endowments
created by other communities would have come within the purview of the
Waqf Act.

Says the Mandir will pave the way for atmosphere of oneness in the country

Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh chief Mohan Bhagwat said on Thursday that the government should clear the path for construction of a Ram Mandir in Ayodhya through an appropriate law.

In his annual Vijayadashami address to RSS workers at Nagpur, he said the mandir was necessary from the point of view of self-esteem, and would also pave the way for an atmosphere of goodwill and oneness in the country. “This matter of national interest is being held up by some fundamentalist elements and forces that play communal politics for selfish gains. Politics is delaying the construction of Ram Mandir,” he said.

‘Linked to sentiments’
Despite such machinations, the decision on the land ownership should be expedited and the government should clear the path for building a “Grand Mandir through an appropriate and requisite law,” he said.

He said the RSS was associated with the sentiments of crores of countrymen in the efforts at construction of a magnificent mandir at the birthplace of Lord Ram. “The place of Janmabhoomi is yet to be allocated for the construction of the mandir, though all pieces of evidence have shown that once there was a mandir at that place.”

He said a few elements tried to stall the judgment through newer interventions in the judicial process, adding that it was in no one’s interest to test the patience of society without reason.
