MMU Urges Protection Of Waqf Institutions
Kashmir Observer
|SEPTEMBER 17, 2025 ISSUE
Mutahida Majlis-e-Ulema (MMU), the largest conglomerate of religious organisations in J&K headed by Mirwaiz Umar Farooq while commenting on the interim order of the Hon'ble Supreme Court on the Waaf (Amendment) Act, 2025 has said that while certain provisions have been stayed, the wider constitutional and religious concerns raised by this Act remain unaddressed, leaving the community anxious and dissatisfied.
The MMU stresses that Waqf is not merely about property but about religious trust and service to Allah. Any attempt to dilute Muslim control over these sacred endowments or to erode their historic protection is unacceptable to the community and is against the principles enshrined in the constitution, which grants every religious denomination the right to manage its own religious affairs.
The Court has provided interim partial interim which is a good indication, but they do not go far enough.
