Dear larmi sb,

Yes, there is no doubt that he is a Shia — and there is equally no doubt that he knows the Qur’an.

I distinctly remember him saying that the Qur’an teaches us to uphold justice even when justice stands against us.

So, I ask you—not as an accusation, but as a question that every believer must have the courage to confront:

Do you know the Qur’an? And do you believe in what it commands?

If the answer is yes, then before passing judgment on him, pause and ask yourself:

Are you just?

For the Qur’an leaves us little room for convenient righteousness:

“Stand firm for justice, as witnesses for Allah, even if it is against yourselves.” — Qur’an 4:135

The measure of knowing the Qur’an is not how fluently one speaks of it, but how faithfully one submits to its truth—especially when that truth demands that we judge ourselves before judging others.

He never asked for politics.

In his interviews, Aga Syed @RuhullahMehdi has spoken about how he once wished for a very different life — a life devoted to learning Islam, seeking knowledge and serving his faith, away from the noise and power of politics.

But sometimes, history places a responsibility on a person that he never went looking for.

He accepted it.

And once he did, he gave it everything.

He stood where he was needed, spoke when it was easier to remain silent, and carried the expectations of people who placed their trust in him. Whatever one may think of his politics, it is difficult to deny that he has grown into the responsibility placed upon his shoulders.

He did not enter politics hungry for power.
He entered it carrying a sense of duty.

And perhaps that is why pressure has never been enough to change his course.

Because you may bend someone who entered politics to gain something from it.

But how do you bend someone who never wanted politics in the first place — someone whose first desire was to learn, to serve and to remain just?

You think you can bend a man who has spent his life trying to be just?

You may test him.
You may isolate him.
You may threaten his position.

But if his conscience is stronger than his ambition, what exactly do you think you can take away from him?

What actually worked:

— naming the exact deliverable, not describing the event
— following up twice (most closes came from email #2)
��� reporting results back after, unprompted

That last one is why they renewed.

Most people never send the first email.

@bonipan You saw a photo-op. We saw political accountability. National voices stood with J&K, the principal opposition reaffirmed its stand, and those who once supported the abrogation were made to answer for it. History is shaped by changing minds—not by tweeting from the sidelines.

On the midnight of August 4, 2019, eight million people were switched off.

By morning, the world was told the silence was peace.

For months, under the name of every Kashmiri contact on WhatsApp, the same words hung frozen: "last seen August 5."

Families outside Kashmir watched their mothers and brothers "leave" group chats they never chose to leave.

A two-minute phone call, timed by an official's watch, became the only way to tell your family you were alive.

That was not peace. That was silence. And Kashmir has been asked to live inside it for seven years.

No more.

On August 5, 2026, at the Constitution Club of India, New Delhi, we will do the simplest, most necessary, most constitutional thing a people can do: talk.

.@MirwaizKashmir Raises Concern Over Growing Normalisation of Restrictions on Religious Rights

Says Elected Govt Cannot Remain Silent Spectators When People’s Rights And Institutions Are Under Assault

Asks What Course a People Must Chart When Their Faith, Traditions and Collective Future Are At Stake

Srinagar, May 29,2026: Addressing the Friday congregation at Jama Masjid Srinagar, Mirwaiz-e-Kashmir Dr. Moulvi Muhammad Umar Farooq expressed deep concern over the continued restrictions on Eid prayers at Eidgah and Jama Masjid and warned against the growing normalisation of what he described as abnormal circumstances.

Mirwaiz said that this year, as on previous occasions, Eid prayers were not allowed at Eidgah and Jama Masjid. While the disappointment and hurt caused by such restrictions were real, he said he wished to draw attention to something even more troubling.

“The greatest danger to any society is when abnormal things begin to appear normal,” Mirwaiz said.

He observed that when a people are repeatedly denied the opportunity to gather peacefully for prayer, year after year, there is a risk that future generations may begin to think that this is how things are supposed to be. “It is not,” he asserted.

Mirwaiz said there is nothing normal about a historic Eidgah remaining silent on Eid morning. There is nothing normal about a Jama Masjid being closed to worshippers on one of the most sacred days of the Islamic calendar. There is nothing normal, he said, about a community being separated from traditions that have defined its religious life for centuries.

He said what concerns him is not only the action of those who impose such restrictions, but also the growing silence around it. While acknowledging that avenues of expression, both individually and collectively, are severely impaired by enforced gags, bans, threats and arrests, Mirwaiz said that silence is not an option.

He particularly termed the silence of those elected by the people as completely unacceptable. Watching as mere spectators, pleading powerlessness, yet benefitting from their positions, he said, they cannot remain silent when the religious institutions and rights of the majority that elected them are under assault. It is their basic duty, he said, to stand up to it and at least raise their voice.

Mirwaiz remarked that in every democratic society, institutions are judged not by how they respond to easy issues, but by how they respond when fundamental freedoms and deeply held public sentiments are affected. Silence may be convenient, he said, but it hollows out institutions, disempowers people and adds to their sense of loss.

Referring to the repeated restrictions on Eid prayers, Mirwaiz said they pose a serious question before the people. The issue, he said, is whether the religious, cultural and historical identity of a people is respected and accommodated, or whether it is expected to quietly adjust to every restriction placed upon it and gradually get dissolved.

“The issue is of our basic existence as a people,” Mirwaiz said, adding that it demands serious thinking by one and all. He posed the question: “What should we do?”

He said that whatever is decided as a people, the guiding principle in shaping the collective response must remain rooted in upholding dignity and preservation.

At the same time, Mirwaiz urged people not to allow disappointment to turn into despair. He said the beautiful faith of Islam provides hope and strength even in difficult times. The history of this land, he said, teaches that despite repeated onslaughts, institutions have endured because people continued to cherish and protect them in their hearts and memory.

“As long as that faith remains alive within, no restriction can erase it,” he said.

Concluding his address, Mirwaiz prayed that Allah guide the people, strengthen them, and help them preserve their faith, values and institutions with wisdom and steadfastness.
