سرگودھا (نامہ نگار) ملک میں مذہبی منافرت ختم کرنے‘ بھائی چارے کی فضاء کو قائم رکھنے‘ مساجد میں ایک دوسرے کے فرقہ کیخلاف کسی قسم کی بات چیت‘ تقاریر کرنے پر پابندی کیلئے حکومت نے سرکاری سطح پر تمام مساجد میں نماز جمعہ کے خطبہ کیلئے تقاریر دینے کا فیصلہ کیا ہے۔

محکمہ اوقاف کے حکام کو باقاعدہ ہدایات جاری کی جارہی ہیں جس میں کہا گیا ہے کہ وہ سرکاری طورپر تحریری خطبہ کی تقریر تمام مسالک کے علماء کرام کو فراہم کرینگے، ان تقاریر سے ہٹ کر خطاب کرنیوالوں کیخلاف کارروائی ہوگی۔
اس سلسلہ میں صوبائی کابینہ سے منظوری لی جائیگی\۔

Moulvis will not accept this. They will leave their sectarian differences aside and will join hands on this issue. Because if they accepted it quietly, it will shut down their shops.

Doubt if the PTI govt can materialize this, but if done, this will be perhaps the biggest revolutionary steps which will prove a feather in PTI's cap in putting Pakistan on the right track.

Software of many Mulla individuals and organisations have been successfully changed over the last one month by LEAs. In sha Allah this time all of them will behave like good Bacha and do what state will ask them to do

All Juma khutba speeches should be recorded as default, by concerned agencies and defaulters brought to task immediately. This will be enough deterrent to stop Mullas from firing at tangents.

- arresting scholars
- banning free speech in Friday sermons
- anti-Islamic school curriculum
- protecting blasphemers
- pro Israel stance

Is there any doubt that this lanti man is a foreign agent? Not even worse enemy of Islam could have done the damage to Islam this lanti is doing. His version of riasate Madinah is the sickest joke ever played on Pakistan. pti munafiqans be happy for now because there will be a reaction, this can't last.

fair enough to follow certain guidelines but pls dont exactly copy arab precedent and start praying for king,price, govt and their forefathers in juma khutba. Juma khutba isn't for prayers for well being of monarchies or corrupt politicians
There are at least around 52 juma, if scholars use this time wisely it can benefit masses about social problems and their solution as per teaching of islam

I am partly happy and partly concerned.
You dont want friday sermons to be a government propaganda tool.
Imagine if Shareefs were still the ruler, friday sermons would have shareefs and aal-e-shareefs praises.
and not to forget, if Altaf was Karachi was still a qila-e-Altaf.
Friday sermons mein Bhai kee karamatoo kaa bayaan hoa karta.

and all this is quite possible since these leaders can name public institutes and universities and buildings on their names they can also have their praises said in juma khutba.

Uniform syllabus to aaya nahi lekin Uniform khutba agaya. Good. Aur mulkon mein ye 30 saalon se ho raha hai.....yahan inn ko abh hosh ai hai.....Management is the key....how will the written khutba reach all the corners of the country every week? Will the sects agree to a uniform content?

Being govt propaganda tool is better than being tool of spreading hatred and division. The govt propaganda part can be taken care of, but harnessing the mulla is a more difficult job. Well done PTI government. This should be done immediately and effectively, to save Islam from being further harmed.
