Deoband, Apr 1: Leading Islamic seminary Darul Uloom Deoband on Friday issued a fatwa asking Muslim community members not to chant 'Bharat Mata ki Jai' as treating any country in this world as a goddess' is un-Islamic.
The fatwa was issued on March 19 but became viral on social media on Thursday evening. It says that Islam does not allow Idol worship therefore Muslims should restrain themself from chanting Bharat Mata Ki Jai'.
''We love the country, but we believe only in one God,'' Darul Uloom said when it was asked to respond to the ongoing debate on chanting or not chanting ''Bharat Mata Ki Jai''
“Scholars of Darul Ifta had issued fatwa in response to queries of people who sent letters along with portrait of Bharat Mata”, said Ashraf Usmani, spokesperson of the seminary.
He clarified that that idol worship is not permissible in Islam hence in light of the teachings of holy Quran and Hadees followers of Islam can't say Bharat Mata Ki Jai, which has been portrayed as a goddess' carrying a trident in one hand and clad in saffron clothes.
It's worth mentioning here that Darul Uloom Deoband had recently issued a decree asking Muslims to hoist national flag on their houses and establishments on Independence Day.
It had also appealed to them to celebrate the occasion with great spirit of patriotism.
Ashraf Usmani said that "in the struggle for India's freedom, the Ulemas (Islamic religious leaders) of Darul Uloom have played prominent roles".
The call for 'Complete Independence' was "given by Darul Uloom", which later turned into the 'Purna Swaraj' movement, he said.
"From Hussain Ahmad Madani to Maulvi Ahmadulla Shah, there is a long series of those freedom fighters who laid their lives for the independence of the mother land," Usmani said.
"Darul Uloom has asked Muslims across the country to hoist the national flag on their houses and other establishments on Independence Day and also to celebrate this day with great spirit of patriotism," he said.
Reacting to the appeal, a spiritual leader of the seminary, Maulana Arshad Qasmi said, "We have advised all madrassas across the country specially to hoist the Tricolour and celebrate Independence Day and teach students about Indian freedom struggle and the country's original spirit of unity in diversity."

Dear Honest,
U R right... but they attack not only Muslims but also Christians and Dalits... too.. they are the real trouble makers of our society which is EVIL and they will pay for it if god's will.
God is merciful and he has a time kept for the oppressors, As he is merciful, and the oppressor are also his creation, he is also waiting for their return to good deeds ... I hope the oppressors recognise this God's mercy and repent on their evil deeds.. so that they may be saved from punishment of God... if oppression exceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeds.
We muslims are taught to love the place we are born & we LIVE and take care of the neighbours even if they are non muslims...
Cheddis have different ways of DECIEVING people, even many of their own hindu brothers and sister fallen into their deception...
Even after they were caught red handed, I dont understand why many secular hindus support them even after seeing their EVIL acts done in our SOCIETY...
Dear HINDUS, Cheddi agenda is EVIL and they have a plan to attack MUSLIMs whatever STUPID ways they CAN>>>
I think Many SECULAR hindus understand cheddi STUPIDITY... which is going viral now a days.
But please know NA TASYA PRATIMA ASTI>> there is no image of GOD... and those who worship IDOLS are really in DARKNESS and they are following the CHEDDI version of HINDUISM infact the VEDAS say OPPOSITe.
Hi...no need to chant anything unnecessarily...if required say Jai Bharath, more than enough...why should anyone to prove his love for his own county....each and every one born in this country love the country.... such type of iblis like Owaisi (running his own family party not a Muslim rep. mind it) being a BJP agent and Sanghi are creating problem for their personal gain and vote bank purpose.... as an Indian we are all united whether its Hindu Muslim Christian doesn’t make any difference we are all brothers ...no need anyone’s fatwa or suggestion to show the love to our own country...jai Bharath.
