How Charges Against Maulana Kaleem Siddiqui By UP Police Unbiased ? Who is Maulana Kaleem Siddiqui ?

What Media said about Maulana Kaleem Siddiqui?

Renowned Islamic Scholar Maulana Kaleem Siddiqui has been arrested by the Uttar Pradesh Anti-Terrorism Squad (UP ATS) team from Meerut in connection with the conversion case. The ATS has made major revelations in Lucknow after interrogation in the case. According to the ATS, he was funded from abroad through Hawala. He was carrying out large-scale conversions to influence the people and implement the Shariah system and change the population ratio. Maulana Kaleem's activities were suspected to be suspicious. The UP ATS had been keeping an eye on him for a long time.

From Where Maulana Kaleem Siddiqui was arrested?

Maulana Kaleem Siddiqui (64 years) along with other Maulanas along with other Maulanas had come to a function at imam Shariq's residence of Masjid Mashaullah in Humayunnagar at Lisarigate in Meerut at 7 pm on Tuesday. After Isha's prayers at 9 pm, he left for Phulat by car with his companions. Meanwhile, the family called him but found the mobile switched off. The family informed Imam Shariq in Meerut. Family members and acquaintances launched a search but did not get information. A crowd of people then gathered at Lisarigate police station. The commotion continued till late in the night. After some time it was learnt that Maulana was arrested by the ATS. Maulana Kaleem Siddiqui and three Maulana and driver Salim, a resident of Phoolat in Khatoli area of Muzaffarnagar, were picked up by the security agency on Tuesday night. The four Maulanas were questioned by lucknow ATS overnight. The investigating agency has since made a major revelation in the case today.  

What did UP Police Say about Maulana Kaleem Siddique?

According to Uttar Pradesh Anti-Terrorism Squad (UP ATS), Maulana Kaleem Siddiqui, a resident of Muzaffar Nagar, UP and  lives in Delhi, carries out illegal religious conversions under the guise of various social, religious and educational institutions for which funding is done from abroad. He misleads and misleads non-Muslims and converts them and then puts them into this work. Maulana Kaleem Siddiqui was picked up by the ATS on suspicion of conversion. Islamic scholar Maulana Kaleem Siddiqui was the target of the security agency for suspected activity. The agency was already aware of Maulana's visit to Meerut. That is why the investigating agency caught him during his return. Interrogation revealed that Maulana Kaleem jamia imam operates a trust called Waliullah. He also funds several madarsas for which he is sent huge sums of money from abroad through hawala. Maulana Kaleem Siddiqui has been accused of carrying out countless conversions. Tell us that Maulana Kaleem Siddiqui of Phulat is one of the Islamic scholars. He is also the director of Jamia Imam Waliullah Islamia, a madarsa in Phulat. The ATS investigation revealed that under the guise of Maulana Madarsas, Pagame inspires people to convert to Islam by showing greed or fear of things like Jannat and Jahannum on the pretext of spreading the message of humanity and later train them and convert others.

About Maulana Kaleem Siddiqui

Maulana Kaleem Siddiqui, who is an Islamic Scholar was born on 23rd September 1957 at Phulat, a village in Muzaffar Nagar district, Uttar Pradesh, India. He was a brilliant student in his childhood and He had secured 57th rank in Pre-Medical Test. But Maulana Kaleem Siddiqui did not go for MBBS and instead of Medical Degree he preferred to Islamic Studies and graduated from famous Islamic Institution in Uttar Pradesh, Darul Uloom, Nadwatul Ulama, Lucknow. He also did his B.Sc degree in Chemistry. He runs a Madarsa or vocational institute in his locality and facilitates training courses for graduates of other Madarsas for skill development and preparing them for a better and prosperous life. Maulana is very much inspired by Maulana Abul Hasan Ali Nadwi (Ali Miyan). Maulana Kaleem Siddique has established Jamiyat Imam Waliullah Trust for Charity and Preaching Islam or Da’wah work. Maulana has started several Schools and Madarsas in various parts of UP and other states in India. These institutions are being monitored and controlled by the some State Centers. Maulana Kaleem Siddique also publishes magazine “Armughan” in Urdu, “Sarva Shanti” in Hindi and “Al-Khair” in Arabic. He has established an NGO named World Peace Organization (WPC) which works for peace and communal harmony in India. He is a famous Preacher of Islam in India and He is delivering tremendous social works for the socio-economic upliftment and development of the society. And it is worthy to mention that due to his social services to the deprived class regardless of religion, caste and creed, Maulana has emerged as a brother to the whole humanity. Maulana kaleem Siddiqui has immense pain, love and care for everyone he encounters with. He never wants money, vote or fame for his services to the society.

Is Preaching Religion A Crime?

If a person attracted by the beauty of a religion, He hopes for salvation there and he willingly converts to that religion, is it unconstitutional?

If someone helps the above person to do the same thing, that is help him to convert to his chosen religion, is the helper a criminal constitutionally?

And now If someone explains the beauty of his religion to others and some attracted to the religion and want willing full conversions, is the person who explained a criminal?

The Constitution of India’s Article 25 guarantees the freedom of conscience, the freedom to profess, practice and propagate religion to all citizens.

The conversion of religion is not new and it cannot be done forcefully except few cases. Thousands of people converted daily and mostly converted to Islam globally. Fortunately thousands of people converted in India in the hand of Maulana Kaleem Siddiqui. Practically it is not possible to convert forcefully thousands of people providing them money. Definitely for the real beauty of Islam, people are attracted most to this religion. Surely, Maulana Kaleem Siddiqui used to explain the beauty and real value of Islam to the people and many attracted to Islam. It is not digested that forcefully and instead of money people are converting to Islam, globally almost in every country there are such conversions to Islam, then who is funding them.

There might be some political agenda behind this case and Maulana Kaleem Siddiqui defamation might help some Political leaders to gain advantages in the upcoming UP Assembly Elections. Moreover, Maulana’s social works and services not only limited to Muslim community, non-muslims are being benefitted as well. He is a popular figure in Hindu Community of the locality too. Recently, Maulana Kaleem also attended the Rashtra Pratham and Rashtra Sarveshram programme organized by RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat in Mumbai on 7th September 2021.

Is Foreign Fund illegal?

Many religious and non-religious, non-government organizations are getting fund from abroad and utilizing social works, religious works etc. India has Acts like FCRA (Foreign Contribution Regulation Act, 2010) for regulating and utilizing those funds. Christian Missionaries are raising huge funds from abroad and where they are utilizing those funds? All we know that their mission is not only education or upliftment of the society but also religious conversions. Is government monitoring their money led conversions? Why it is irritated when Muslim organizations get fund from abroad? UP Police circulating that Maulana gets 3 Crores from abroad and 1.5 Crores from Bahrain, is it not monitored by External Affairs Ministry or is it not regulated by FCRA, how foreign funds received without the consent of External affairs ministry?

There are many such questions that prove that there may be some dominating politics going on in the State UP and in some other states. Inspecting and monitoring activities of Organizations is good but targeting a particular religion and dominating them somehow degrading the values of Secularism in India Republic.

Conclusion

If Maulana Kaleem Siddiqui is arrested intentionally for some political gains, polarization of voters etc, Then It is very unfortunate for our country. India Republic is a Secular Country and the Constitution of India guarantees some freedom to each and every citizen irrespective of Religion, Caste and Creed. So the beauty of this country should not be stained. And yes, unbiased, proper and honest inspections must be done to each such case and Truth must come out. Lastly, as an Indian we believe in “Satyameva Jayate”
