Alleged blasphemy: JNI slams acclaimed Kano cleric Abdul Jabbar, hails Kano Govt for hammering him

•Controversial Kano cleric Abdul Jabbar

 

By GARBA MUHAMMAD, Kaduna

The Jama’atu Nasril Islam (JNI) on Monday came down hard on acclaimed Kano cleric Abdul Jabbar, who was recently sanctioned by the Kano State Government for use of words bothering on blasphemy.

Dr. Khalid Abubakar Aliyu, JNI Secretary-General, while quoting Qur’an 21:107, Qur’an 33:33 and Qur’an 48:29, sections from the Holy Qur’an in a statement, said such denigrating words by Abdul Jabbar are tantamount to disrespect to the Prophet.

The statement reads: “JNI makes bold to condemn the acclaimed Kano cleric who relishes in denigrating the House-hold and the companions of the Prophet (PBUH), which tantamounts to disrespect to RASULULLAH.

“The generation of the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) is the best of all generations hence anyone who tries to insult or malign their integrity would be vehemently opposed by every true sincere Muslim the world over.

“Thus, the actions of Abdul Jabbar of Kano stand condemned, detested and completely opposed. It is clearly an indirect insult on the personality of the noble Prophet (PBUH) which we will never take lightly.

“In the same vein, the Jama’atu Nasril Islam commends the timely intervention of the Kano State Government as it suspended the activities and ‘preachings’ of the said Abdul Jabbar throughout the State pending the outcome of investigations instituted against him. We pray that Allah SWT will continue to guide the government and support it in all its noble undertakings.

“We also urge the government to sustain the tempo until all such blasphemous innuendoes are completely eradicated and the Muslim societies are freed from such quasi-Muslim scholars.

“The ‘Zauren Malamai’ of Kano State has really played a vital but expected role in tackling the vituperations of Abdul Jabbar and prompting the government to action.

“The Ulama’ should not relent in galvanizing the Ummah of the Prophet (PBUH) under the teachings of pristine Islam devoid of attacking the personalities of the Prophet’s house-holds and his revered companions.

“We urge the Ulama’ to continue to unite and present a common front as a vanguard for the protection of Islam from any form of attack and falsification. We pray to Allah SWT to continue to guide these Ulama’ and preserve them upon goodness.”

“The Muslim Ummah is hereby urged to persistently seek for the true knowledge and understanding of Islam so as to practice the religion without being swayed and deceived by unguided ‘scholars’.

“The Ummah should reject any acclaimed scholar who derailed from the true teachings of our beloved Prophet (PBUH). We should remain prayerful, watchful and resolute. May Allah guide us aright.

“Lastly, the Jama’atu Nasril Islam pray for Allah’s guidance, protection, support and fortification against satanic whispering. May we be among the true followers of RASULULLAH until death,” the statement added.
