KASARGOD: Samastha Kerala Jem-Iyyathul Ulama has warned against the ‘Maududian’ ideology that is misleading the youth by smuggling in the idea of theocratic state and political Islam. ‘Maududian’ ideology has its origin in the teachings of Islamic scholar Syed Abul Ala Maududi who is the founder of Jama’at e Islami.
A resolution adopted at the centenary conference of Samastha at Kuniya here also cautioned against the pan-Islamic ideology that tries to sabotage the path of peaceful propagation shown by the predecessors.
The resolution called upon the community to see through the divisive agenda and the intellectual aggression unleashed by certain media, which pose as neutral. Samastha exhorted everyone to resist the divisive ideologies by upholding the tradition of tolerance. The fourth day of the Samastha meet marked the National Education Conclave, Cultural Meet and Vishuddhi session.
Addressing the Vishuddhi session, Maulana Abdul Hameed Hazrat, Principal of Vellore Baqiyat Salihat, stated that in an era where distorted ideologies are spreading, it is high time for scholars to intervene in society with ideological commitment. The visions of ancestral scholars are becoming more relevant as exploitative tendencies are increasing across the country.
Addressing the session, KPCC president Sunny Joseph said that the remarkable progress made by Samastha in the field of education, alongside spiritual training, has determined the direction of Kerala society. Central Mushawara member Thaqa Ahmed Maulavi Thalangara presided over the session.
Advocate Haris Beeran MP, A P Anil Kumar MLA, K P A Majeed, and T V Ibrahim, MLA, were the guest speakers in addition to Sunny Joseph. Theme presentations were delivered by Dr C K Abdurahman Faizi Arippa, Mustafa Hudawi Akkode, A A Muhammad Faizi Onampilly, and Abdullah Mujthaba Faizi Anakkara.
The National Education Conclave, organised as part of Samastha’s initiative to expand its successful Kerala educational model to other states, highlighted the organisation’s long-term vision for the country’s academic growth. The event brought together professionals, educators, and social workers from across India.
