PATNA<\/strong> \u2013 In a decisive move, the Imarat e Shariat of Bihar, Odisha, and Jharkhand announced the removal of Ahmad Wali Faisal Rahmani as its Amir-e-Shariat during a crucial meeting of the Majlis-e-Arbab-e-Hal-o-Aqd (Council of Decision-Makers) on Thursday, May 22, 2025. The council, comprising over 600 members, unanimously endorsed the Board of Trustees\u2019 March 20 decision to dismiss Rahmani, citing his foreign citizenship, lack of Islamic scholarly credentials, alleged promotion of “misguided beliefs,” and violations of the Emirate\u2019s constitution. Maulana Anisur Rahman Qasmi was formally elected as the new Amir-e-Shariat, with the council pledging allegiance (bay\u2019ah<\/em>) to him.<\/p>\n

\n

Key Decisions and Rationale<\/strong><\/h3>\n

1. Removal of Ahmad Wali Faisal Rahmani<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The council accused Rahmani of:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  • \n

    Holding foreign citizenship, disqualifying him from leadership.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    Not being a\u00a0“credible, practicing Islamic scholar”<\/em>\u2014a prerequisite for the Amir-e-Shariat role.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    Violating the Emirate\u2019s Trust Deed and constitution.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    Promoting\u00a0“misguided ideologies”<\/em>\u00a0publicly.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Quote:<\/strong>
    \n“The Imarat e Shariat\u2019s purpose is to establish Islamic law (<\/em>Nizam-e-Shari\u2019ah). Its leader must be a deeply knowledgeable scholar well-versed in Shariah principles\u2014a criteria Rahmani failed to meet,”<\/em>\u00a0stated the council\u2019s resolution.<\/p>\n

    The Board of Trustees had earlier dismissed Rahmani on March 20, a decision now ratified by the Majlis. Rahmani was directed to vacate the Emirate\u2019s properties, surrender documents, and cease using its official resources.<\/p>\n

    \n

    Resolutions on Key Issues<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    1. Rejection of Waqf Amendment Act 2025<\/strong><\/h4>\n

    The council condemned the central government\u2019s Waqf Amendment Act as\u00a0“an open injustice”<\/em>\u00a0threatening Muslim endowments, demanding its immediate repeal.<\/p>\n

    Action Plan:<\/strong><\/p>\n

      Collaborate with the All India Muslim Personal Law Board to launch protests.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      Urge the Bihar government to oppose the law.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      2. Education Reforms<\/strong><\/h4>\n

      Proposals included:<\/p>\n

              Conclusion<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

              The Imarat e Shariat\u2019s leadership transition underscores its commitment to “preserving Islamic jurisprudence”<\/em>\u00a0amid internal and external challenges. With Rahmani\u2019s dismissal and Qasmi\u2019s appointment, the organization aims to reassert its religious authority while addressing community concerns\u2014from education to legal rights.<\/p>\n

              Final Quote:<\/strong>
              \n“Unity under the banner of Tauheed (monotheism) is our strength. We must reject divisive forces and work for collective progress,”<\/em>\u00a0urged Maulana Anisur Rahman Qasmi in his closing address.<\/p>\n
