Supreme Court Decision on Mubarak Sani Qadiani Case: Advocate Taimoor Explains Proceedings & Verdict

In this compelling episode, host Khizar ul Islam Naqshbandi sits down with Advocate Taimoor Waheed Malik, the petitioner in the significant Mubarak Sani Qadiani case, to provide a detailed account of the Supreme Court proceedings and the court's final decision.

On May 29, 2024, the Supreme Court conducted a 4-hour hearing on a case that addressed the critical issues of Quranic distortion and religious freedom. Dr. Umair Mahmood Siddiqui, representing the Islamic Ideology Council, presented comprehensive arguments before the Chief Justice. He highlighted the flaws in the court's previous decisions from an Islamic jurisprudence perspective, supported by written opinions from eight religious institutions and the Islamic Ideology Council.

The core issue debated in the courtroom was whether it is legally and religiously permissible for deniers of the finality of Prophethood to teach Tafseer-e-Saghir and distribute related literature within their own institutions. Dr. Siddiqui's arguments made it clear that such actions, even within private confines, are impermissible and amount to disrespecting Islamic beliefs.

During the proceedings, several crucial points emerged:
The inadequate preparation of the lawyers was noted, highlighting a need for better representation.
The absence of the heads or representatives of the religious institutions was strongly felt.
The importance of religious schools and scholars preparing individuals capable of effectively representing significant religious and national matters was emphasized.

In the subsequent hearing, the Supreme Court announced its decision. The court had considered the opinions of religious institutions, the Islamic Ideology Council, the government lawyer, and the plaintiff's lawyer but did not hear from individual lawyers and personalities.

Advocate Taimoor Waheed Malik, present at the hearings, provides an in-depth analysis of the court's decision and its broader implications. This discussion also explores the background of the case, the court's rationale, and the impact of this ruling on religious freedom and Islamic jurisprudence.

Don't miss this episode to gain a thorough understanding of this landmark case, the arguments presented, and the final verdict that could shape the future of religious practices and freedoms in the country.
