During his heartfelt address, the Mirwaiz highlighted the uncertainty that surrounds his ability to perform his duties each week. “Every Friday, we are left wondering whether I will be allowed to go and fulfill my responsibilities. This uncertainty doesn’t just affect me—it impacts the entire community that looks to this pulpit for guidance,” he remarked.
He reiterated his commitment to using the platform of Jama Masjid to address societal issues—be they religious, political, social, or economic—through the lens of Islamic teachings and values. “It is my duty to provide moral and spiritual guidance, and I hope that from now on, the approach of creating hurdles and imposing restrictions will cease,” he emphasized.
