Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind President Maulana Mahmood Madani, who was in the news recently for his comments on the Supreme Court, has once again given a big statement. He said that I have not said anything wrong. There is no word in my statement which can be taken back.

Mahmood Madani gave clarification regarding Jihad

Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind President Maulana Mahmood Madani said on Tuesday (December 2, 2025), “For the last 30 years, we have been waging a religious war against those who commit riots and bomb blasts. We keep saying against the riots, which no one can see, that they are rioters and we are Jihadis.”

He said, “This is our Jihad. Speaking against the oppressors and those who do injustice is Jihad and we will continue to do so in the future also. As far as my statement is concerned, there is no word in my statement which can be taken back. I have said the absolutely right thing. I have been saying this regularly and will continue to say so in future also.”

What did Maulana Mahmood Madani say about Vande Mataram?,

Maulana Mahmood Madani has also given a statement regarding the national song Vande Mataram. He said, “Regarding Vande Mataram, I have definitely said that you cannot force anyone. This is our faith. We are monotheists. You want us to bow before everything, why? Let us remain Muslims.”

Madani again gave statement regarding Supreme

Maulana Mahmood Madani, President of Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind, said, “Let me say about the Supreme Court that I belong to an institution which is drawn from a particular community. If I do not express the concerns of my community, then who will? I have told you only the concerns of the community.” He said, “Everyone has the right to call what I say wrong. Reject what I say, it doesn’t matter to me.”

Maulana Mahmood Madani’s recent statement regarding Jihad has started receiving strong reactions from within Muslim organisations. National President of Jamiat Himayatul Islam, Maulana Qari Abrar Jamal on Sunday (November 30, 2025) expressed strong objection to Madani’s statement and said that it is important to understand the real meaning of Jihad. Jihad does not mean fighting against any society or country, but fighting against evil, promoting reform and good works.

It would have been beneficial if a fatwa was issued against terrorists – Jamal

Qari Abrar Jamal said, “If Maulana Mahmood Madani had talked about the problems, misunderstandings within his community and about jihad against those who directly or indirectly support terrorists, it would have sent a positive and meaningful message. If he had issued a fatwa of jihad against terrorists, then this step would have been really beneficial and inspiring for the society.”

He said, “On the contrary, the statements being made by Madani against crores of Sanatani people of the country are extremely unfortunate. The Hindu community has always shown brotherhood and harmony by standing with the Muslims. Be it festivals, happiness or difficult times, they have always supported us.”

It is wrong to talk about jihad against Hindus – Qari Abrar Jamal

Referring to history, Maulana Qari Abrar Jamal said, “Even during the India-Pakistan partition in 1947, the Hindu society had told the Muslims that this is your country, we will protect you. In such a situation, talking about jihad against Hindus is meaningless and wrong. Such statements spoil the atmosphere of the country and it is also not good for the progress of India.”

He said, “The country is rapidly moving towards development and it has been resolved to make India a developed nation by 2047. At such a time, promoting words like jihad and terrorism can take the society in the wrong direction.”

Qari Abrar Jamal appealed to Maulana Mahmood Madani

Appealing to Maulana Mahmood Madani, he said, “He should give the message of nationalism and unity to the Muslims and not give a discourse that creates division in the society. The Ulema should issue a strict fatwa against terrorism. If a person is caught in terrorist activities, we will not perform his funeral and will not even give him a place to bury him in the cemetery.”
