In a statement, issued to Kashmir News Service (KNS), a spokesperson said that as present head of the Anjuman Nusrat-ul-Islam Mirwaiz Dr Moulvi Muhammad Umar Farooq continues to be under house arrest, a brief ceremony was organised in this regard in which rich tributes were paid to Mirwaiz Moulana Ahmadullah Shah.

During his time, he not only exposed the conspiracies hatched against the ‘Khatam-e-Naboowat’ –the finality of the prophethood of the Last Messenger of Allah 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 Ahmadullah Shah 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.”
