Srinagar June 14, 2026: Under the directions of the Ameer (Patron) of Muttahida Majlis-e-Ulama (MMU), Mirwaiz-e-Kashmir Dr. Moulvi Muhammad Umar Farooq, an important meeting of the MMU Shia-Sunni Coordination Committee was held at the headquarters of Anjuman Auqaf Jama Masjid Srinagar. The meeting was chaired by Agha Syed Mujtaba and attended by leading scholars, religious leaders, and representatives of various religious organisations.
The participants emphasized that, in view of the challenges confronting the Muslim Ummah at the local, national, and international levels, it is imperative to strengthen unity, mutual respect, and inter-sectarian understanding and harmony. They underscored the sanctity of the month of Muharram and resolved that any attempt to create sectarian discord or disturb the atmosphere of brotherhood would not be tolerated.
The meeting expressed concern over certain social media content circulated during Muharram last year that led to misunderstandings and urged religious organisations and individuals to exercise responsibility and restraint in public discourse and online engagement.
The participants also reaffirmed the importance of maintaining the utmost respect for the noble Companions of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and the revered Ahl al-Bayt, stressing that inflammatory or divisive remarks are contrary to the spirit of Islamic ethos and unity.
The meeting proposed the constitution of a committee under the banner of MMU to remain vigilant during Muharram and counter any attempts by disruptive elements to undermine sectarian harmony.
Concluding the meeting, Agha Syed Mujtaba appreciated the efforts of Muttahida Majlis-e-Ulama and its leadership, particularly Mirwaiz-e-Kashmir, in fostering inter-sectarian understanding, sectarian harmony, and collective guidance for the people.
Among the distinguished personalities who attended the meeting were Molana Shawkat Hussain Keng; Agha Syed Mohammad Yousuf; Syed Adil Murtaza; Syed Mohsin Rizvi; Molana Bilal Ahmad Haji; Mufti Ghulam Rasool Samoon; Sibt Mohammad Shabbir Qummi; Syed Parvez Safavi; Mohammad Altaf Muntazir; Ghulam Mohammad Nago; Mohammad Jamal Bachoo; Imdad Saqi; Qari Mohammad Aslam Rahimi; Mufti Taufiq Umar Nadwi; Mushtaq Ahmad Sofi; Pir Ghulam Nabi; Majid Abbas Jawad; Advocate Yasir Raoof; Imtiyaz Malik; and the Secretary of the Majlis, Molana M.S.
