نیشنل انسٹیٹویٹ فور فیتھ لیڈرشپ نئی دہلی میں داخلے شروع  Deoband 13,15 Dec 2013 (Fri, Sat) Leading Indian Islamic organization Jamiat Ulama-I-Hind initiated the World Peace Conference on 13 December 2013 at Deoband. The event marked the centenary celebrations of the Sheikh-Ul Hind Maulana Mahmood Hasan’s Silk Letter Movement. Jamiat Ulama-I-Hind celebrated the 100th year of Silk Letter Movement by organizing functions and seminars around the country. The 2-day Conference at Deoband was organized by the Sheikhul-Hind Educational Charitable Trust, a satellite organization of Jamiat led by Maulana Qari Muhammad Usman and Maulana Mahmood Madani. The World Peace Conference is an initiative to establish a positive dialogue through mutual understanding of Islam. The conference was attended by prominent Ulama and Muslim delegations from Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Maldives and some other countries. The first session of the Conference was presided over by Maulana Mohammad Salim Qasmi, Mohtamim Darul Uloom (Wakf) Deoband. Mufti Abdul Rahman from Bangladesh and Mufti Mohammad Rizwee from Sri Lanka were the guests of honor. Facilitated by Maulana Mohammad Salman Bijnori, Darul Uloom Deoband, the first session addressed the 'Role of Ulema in the freedom of India and other Countries', and the 'Duties and role of Ulama to establish peace'. Maulana Riyasat Ali Bijnori, Darul Uloom Deoband delivered the Keynote Address. The Second Session was Presided by Hazrat Mufti Abul Qasim Noumani Sb. (Mohtamim Darul Uloom Deoband), and featured Maulana Fazlur Rahman and Maulana Abdul Razzaq Sikander from Pakistan and Mufti Noor Mohammad from Burma as guests of honor. The session addressed 'Intra community bonding in the light of Islamic values and rights of neighbors propounded by Islam', with an emphasis on terrorism, communalism and violent conflict among Muslim groups groups and denominations. Mufti Mohammad Salman Mansoorpuri, Madrasa Shahi Moradabad and Maulana Khalilur Rahman Sajjad Noumani delivered the session's Keynote address. The World Peace Conference seeks to highlight the role and duties of the Ulama, in the larger context of establishing national peace and harmonious relations with the community, with an Islamic perspective to address issues like communal conflict between religions and various Muslim theological groups, and social evils like sexual exploitation, alcoholism, and drugs. The conference concluded on deliberating a strong stance against terrorism across the world. International scholars unanimously gave their support to a fatwa against terrorism in conclusion to the World Peace Conference. The fatwa issued by Darul Uloom Deoband declares Islam's vision to end terrorism with a message of global peace, and is a significant step towards promoting Islam's belief that terrorism should be eradicated. After receiving international consensus for disassociating the image of terror from the peaceful identity of Islam, over 200 Ulama from the UK, Nepal, Bangladesh, Myanmar, The Maldives, Pakistan and Sri Lanka have added their support to the fatwa. The conference therefore marked an international declaration to establish and maintain peace and harmony. The resolutions made after extensive deliberation at the two day event will be announced as “Aman Ka Paigaam” (Message of Peace), at Ramlila Maidan (New Delhi) on 15 December 2013 Sunday. The event is expected to be attended by more than 1,00,000 Muslims from all walks of life and will witness them to take a pledge of peace.    29 Shaban 1434 / 09 July 2013 Tuesday The ‘Rooyat Hilal Committee’ Darul Uloom Deoband announced that the moon was not sighted on 29th Shaban; therefore 10 July will be 30th day of Shaban and the holy month of Ramadhan will start from 11 July 2013 Thursday. May Allah make Ramadhan a source of piety, virtue, peace and spiritual progress for all! Amen!

A commemorative postal stamp on silk letter movement (1915, 1916) launched by Shaikhul Hind Maulana Mahmood Hasan Deobandi--- a pioneer of the freedom struggle, prisoner of Malta and trainer of thousands of freedom fights stalwarts including Maulana Hussain Ahmad Madani, Maulana Mufti Kifayatullah and Maulana Ubaidullah Sindhi--- was released here by the president of India Parnab Mukharjee at Vigyan Bhawan today. Speaking on the occasion The President expressed happiness that Department of Posts has done its bit by issuing postage stamps to acknowledge contribution of various groups and movements which contributed in the overall effort to liberate India. He said “The sacrifices of individuals and groups, such as those associated with the Silk Letter Movement, constitute a glorious chapter of India’s history of freedom struggle and need to be acknowledged and appreciated.
He said “The sacrifices of individuals associated with the Silk Letter Movement constitute a glorious chapter of India’s history of Freedom struggle and need to be acknowledged and appreciated. The stories of struggle need to be told and retold to a young generation born in a free India and enjoying the fruits of liberty, said President of India Pranab Mukherjee while releasing commemorative postal stamp on the Silk Letter Movement here on Friday.”
“As we all know, 15th August, 1947 was the culmination of almost two hundred years of resistance, intense political activity, including fasts, marches, protests, agitations and various types of movements…The Silk Letter Movement was one such effort from a group of revolutionaries. This movement was a plan to mobilize the support of the governments of Afghanistan and Turkey in organizing a revolt within India to overthrow the British rule. Obaidullah Sindhi and Maulana Mahmood Hasan were two important leaders of this movement. In August 1916, some letters written on silk fell into British hands. It is believed that the Silk Letters confiscated by British Government contained details of the Provisional Government of Azad Hind and its plans and a comprehensive scheme of forming an army and getting the support of the Turkish Government,” said the President addressing the 60th Session of Shaikhul Hind’s Silk Letter Movement Centenary.”
The full text of the president speech is hereunder:
It is ndeed a happy occasion for me to be present here for the release of a stamp dedicated on ‘Silk Letter Movement’. As we all know, 15th August, 1947 was the culmination of almost two hundred years of resistance, intense political activity, including fasts, marches, protests, agitations and various types of movements. As we look back on the epic saga of this struggle, we are struck by the long drawn out and valiant fight put up by people from almost all walks of life without any thought towards their personal comfort and security. It was a widespread movement of multifaceted dimensions. In this movement people of various persuasions, following different ideologies, presented a multipronged resistance to foreign rule. This unique struggle was marked by a variety of approaches adopted by the people to rid the nation of the foreign domination. People who participated in the struggle belonged to various schools of thought and varied outlooks. Despite differences in their approaches and the methods of resistance to the foreign rule, they were all united in their desire to secure liberation for their motherland from yoke of colonial rule.

I am happy that the Department of Posts has done its bit in this regard. Over the years, it has issued postage stamps to acknowledge the contribution of various groups and movements which in their own ways contributed to the overall effort to liberate India. The regular India Postage Stamps were introduced in October 1854 during the tenure of Governor General Lord Dalhousie. These were red lithographed stamps of one anna and blue lithographed stamps of half anna, bearing the portrait of Queen Victoria. This symbolism of British Monarchy came to an end with India gaining independence on 15th August, 1947. It was a proud moment when the greeting “Jai Hind” figured on the first three stamps issued by free India.
I am told that since then the Department has issued more than three thousand stamps, many of them on great personalities and events which had contributed to the freedom struggle.
I compliment Shri Kapil Sibal for his endeavour to dedicate stamp on the ‘Silk Letter Movement’, as it truly reflects the multi-cultural and multi-faceted dimension of the freedom struggle. I join you all in paying tribute the efforts and contributions of this great movement. Jai Hind!
Minister of communication, Mr. Kapil SIblal addressing a gathering during launch of a commemorative stamp in memory of freedom fighter Shaikhul Hind, Sibal said, "If we talk about history, businessmen have finished India. They came here to do business but went after ruling us." He was apparently referring to East India Company which entered India for trade and subsequently ruled the country for over 200 years.
"Even today such businessmen are trying to come to India. We have to think over that. Even today there are forces which are trying to come to India as businessmen and to divide us," he said without elaborating. He made the comments while speaking about the life of freedom fighter Shaikhul Hind and on his role in the struggle for country's independence. Sibal's remarks came at a time when India has opened its various sectors, including multi-brand retail, for foreign investment.
Jamiat Ulama-i Hind general secretary Maulana Mahmood Madani, also the chairman of Shaikhul Hind Educational Charitable Trust, urged Sibal to include the Silk Letter Movement in history text books so that the younger generation learns about an important facet of India's freedom movement. He thanked Sibal for appreciative role in issuing stamps on Maulana Mahmood Hasan having thwarted communal tendencies which acted hurdles in recognition of role of Muslim leaders in freedom struggle. He demanded to issue tickets on Maulana Ubaidullah Sindhi and Maulana Kifayatullah and Maulana Asad Madani whose role in silk letter movement was also important.
Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind Chief Maulana Usman Mansoorpuri spoke lengthily about the role of Obaidullah Sindhi and Maulana Mahmood Hasan, leaders of the movement, "This movement was a plan to mobilise the support of the governments of Afghanistan and Turkey in organizing a revolt within India to overthrow the British rule."
Maulana Mansoorpuri further said. “The stories of struggle need to be told and re-told to a young generation born in a free India and enjoying the fruits of liberty. He also demanded that the government enlist Maulana Mahmood Hasan in top rank of freedom stalwarts and his role be included in the text book.
Maulana Niaz Ahmad Farooqui advocate read out the message of Congress president Sonia Gandhi who expressed her happiness over the release of the postalal stamp.
Besides that, Governor of Uhtrakhand MR. Azeez Quraishi, K. Rahman Khan, Left.

Besides that thousands of Ulama notable among them are Maulana Abdul Khaliq Sanbhali, Maulana Mujeebullah Gaondwi, Maulana Hakeemuddin Qasmi, all across the country, foreing diplomats attended the function.
The postal stamp was released on the occasion of 60th Session of Shaikhul Hind’s Silk Letter Movement Centenary organized by Shaikhul Hind charitable trust and Universal association of Spiritual Awareness.

By Md. Ali, TwoCircles.net
Darul Uloom Deoband, the centuries old Islamic seminary of the Indian subcontinent, has strongly objected to the allegations about the seminary getting funds from the Saudi government and it being a source of radicalization of Muslim youths in India.
Talking to TwoCircles.net from Deoband, Maulana Qasim Nomani, the Rector of Darul Uloom, rejected the charges leveled against the seminary by All Indian Ulema & Mashaikh Board (AIUMB). The AIUMB, which claims to be a Sufi group, had alleged that seminaries like Darul Uloom Deoband get funds from Saudi Arab and radicalize Muslim youths, poisoning their minds by Islamic extremism.
Politics, not Sufism
Hitting out at the AIUMB, Nomani accused the AIUMB of playing politics in the garb of Sufism.
“These people claim to be Sufi but Sufism was the last thing they practiced. You tell me if you find any thing remotely related to Sufism in their speeches. Sufis never call others Kafir but this is the favorite pastime of these groups,” said Nomani.
Darul Uloom reactor also said that the AIUMB needs to come out clean when it comes to its secular credentials as it hasn’t condemned the terrorism propagated by the RSS and Narendra Modi.
“These groups have always sent soft feelers to the Hindutva forces and they did that again when AIUMB talked of being soft on Modi who should be in jail for supervising genocide of Muslims,” said Maulana Nomani.
He said that, “mainstream media in India, is known for ignoring problems of the Muslim community but what you need to question is that why is it, that you find this group being covered on the front page of every news paper?.”
Nomani said that it was Darul Uloom which gave Fatwa against terrorism and it was all because of this fatwa that the media, to a large extent, changed the pattern of covering bomb blasts and Muslim community.
“The charge that Deoband is spreading Islamic extremism, is as ridiculous and baseless as it can be. People shouldn’t forget that Darul Uloom was the first among Islamic seminaries in India to condemn terrorism in all and every forms. Thanks to our Fatwa against terror, that the media changed its attitude towards Muslims vis-à-vis terror attacks and bomb blasts,” said Maulana Nomani.
On Saudi funds
Nomani said that the seminary has never accepted and in future also, will never accept funds from any government sources, be it Saudi Arab or the government of India or any state government in the country. He claimed that accepting no government funds is one of the eight basic rules governing Darul Uloom, and this was actually the last will of its founder, Maulana Qasim Nanutwi.
Regarding the charges of Saudi funds as AIUMB’s desperate attempts for cheap publicity, Nomani said that government aid was one of the reasons why the seminary and the entire Deoband fraternity, didn’t accept the Central government proposal of Central Madarsa Board as government aid was the Board’s prominent feature.
“How can we go against the vision of our elders? From the very first day of its establishment, Darul Uloom has never accepted and will never accept government funds because it’s against the basic rules which govern this Madarsa,” added Maulana Nomani.
On being Anti-Sufi
Maulana Nomani was surprised when this correspondent asked if Deoband was anti-Sufi. Claiming that Darul Uloom Deoband is part and parcel of Sufi tradition in India, he said that Deoband scholars like Ashraf Ali Thanwi, and others were Sufi saints as well and they had their Khanqah (Sufi Shrines).
“Who said we are against Sufism? We very much follow the Sufi traditions and all of our elders were Sufi practitioners of Sufi tradition,” Nomani added.
Maulana Nomani said that there are four schools of thoughts in Sufism in India -- Qadri, Chishti, Naqshbandi and Suharwardy -- and claimed that most of the teachers at Darul Uloom are associated with one of these schools.

مولانا نعمت اللہ اعظمی
Maulana Nematullah Azmi, senior professor of Hadith at the Islamic seminary Darul Uloom Deoband, has been unanimously elected president of the Islamic Fiqh Academy (India) at a meeting of its Board of Trustees held on 30 May 2011.
Maulana Azmi has been one of the vice-presidents of the Academy earlier while late Maulana Mufti Zafeeruddin Miftahi, ex-senior Mufti of Darul Uloom Deoband, was president of the Academy. The seat fell vacant after Mufti Zafeeruddin died last month in his native place in Darbhanga district of Bihar.
The meeting which was presided over by Maulana Burhanuddin Sambhali, senior vice-president of the Academy, expressed profound grief over the death of Mufti Zafeeruddin and prayed to Allah for his salvation.
The meeting decided to celebrate the Academy’s 20 years of success. It also discussed and approved other programmes and activities for 2011-2012.
The meeting was attended by Maulana Syed Nizamuddin (Ameer Shariat, Imarat Shariah Bihar Orissa Jharkhand, and a patron of the Academy), Maulana Khalid Saifullah Rahmani (General Secretary of the Academy), Maulana Mufti Ashraf Ali Baqvi (vice-president of the Academy and Ameer Shariat Karnataka), Maulana Abdul Ahad Azhari (Shaikhul Hadith of Mahad Millat-Malegaon), Maulana Ateeq Ahmad Bastvi, Maulana Mohammad Ubaidullah Asadi, Maulana Ameen Usmani (all three secretaries of the Academy), Dr. Mohammad Manzoor Alam (Chairman, Institute of Objective Studies), Maulana Anisur Rahman Qasmi (Nazim-Imarat Shariah-Bihar Orissa Jharkhand), Maulana Qazi Mohammad Qasim Muzaffarpuri (Qazi Shariat- Bihar) and Mufti Ahmad Deolvi (Gujarat).
The Islamic Fiqh Academy (India) was established in 1989 by late Maulana Qazi Mujahidul Islam Qasmi to deliberate on the contemporary issues in the light of Islamic Shariah. Since its inception the Academy is engaged in research, orientation and other academic activities aimed at finding Islamic Shariah guidance on contemporary issues.
