I ask the Mufti Abid Hussain who joined after, about the
Kashmir dispute, but he brushes aside my question
politely. 'We have nothing to do with politics', he says.
He stresses, however, that allegations about madrasas
in Jammu and Kashmir being allegedly involved in
promoting 'terrorism' are false. 'We are completely
transparent, an open book, and have nothing to hide.
Mufti added that anyone can come and visit us and sit in
our classrooms', he replies. 'Not a single madrasa in
Jammu and Kashmir has been identified by intelligence
sources as engaged in that sort of activity'. He added
further that the vision of Madersa is different from the
Politics of land” He explained me a curriculum of Asrar
ul uloom. He added that in madersa we offer to the
aspirants the teachings like, Nazra Quran, Tajweed e
Farsi, Ilm-e-Nahw, Sarf- e- tafseer, Hadees-e-Mantiq,
Falsafa-e-Bayan, balagat and fiqah.
He told me as we sit in a circle on a tiny play ground at
Maddersa flanked by other Mufti’s. They stressed me in
response to my question regarding the Hindu -Muslim
relation in this hamlet. They stressed, “We talk about
inter-community relations”.
Moreover, he adds, 'we must learn about each other's
religions and sentiments not to condemn and denounce
others, but to understand them'.
Lastly, the call (Azaan) for the Friday prayer comes
floating in. As we get up to offer the prayer in nearby
Jamia Masjid at Changa, the Maulana hands me a bunch
of booklets that the Madrasa has published, including
Taaruf of Maddersa.
