A brief ceremony was organised in this regard in which rich tributes were paid to Mirwaiz Maulana Ahmadullah Shah (RA) for his immense contribution to religious, tableeghi, social and spiritual uplift of the people of Kashmir.
The present head of the Anjuman Nusrat-ul-Islam, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq continues to be under house arrest for the last four years, The Anjuman in a statement in Srinagar termed him “a true Aashiq-e-Rasool (SAW) who besides being an ardent follower of the Qur’an and Sunnah was an epitome of generosity and a man of noble character”.
It said during his time, Mirwaiz Ahmadullah Shah (RA) not only exposed the conspiracies hatched against the ‘Khatam-e-Nabuwwat’ – the finality of the prophethood of the Last Messenger of Allah Hazrat Muhammad (SAW) – but also launched a vigorous movement against it thereby safeguarded the Muslims of Kashmir from the storm of disbelief and apostasy.
It was Mirwaiz Ahmadullah Shah (RA) who first stood against the tyrannical rule in Kashmir and to safeguard the political and social rights of the people signed a historic memorandum which was sent to the then Viceroy of India. This cost him severe hardships and he was time and again persecuted under one pretext or the other, it deplored.
Meanwhile, Qur’an khawani was organised at Islamia Oriental College in Srinagar for the elevation of the status of the late Mirwaiz (RA), which was attended by teachers, students and staff of the college.
