Jama'at Raza-e-Mustafa (Urdu: جماعت رضائے مصطفی, Hindi: जमात-रज़ा-ए-मुस्तफ़ा) also known as Jamat Raza-e-Mustafa, is one of the historical organisation of Indian Sunni Barelvi Muslims associated with Sufism. It was founded by Mujadid and scholar Ahmed Raza Khan on 17 December 1920 at Bareilly to propagate Islamic teachings in accordance with Ahle Sunnah wal Jama'ah. One of the aim of JRM includes to refute the Wahabi, Deobandi and Shia sects and safeguard the beliefs (Aqaa'id) of the Sunni Muslims who practice Sufism.[1][2]
History[edit]
It played a significant role during Shuddhi movement which was initiated by Arya Samaj to convert Muslims into Hinduism. The Jama'at Raza-e-Mustafa prevented around four hundred thousand re-conversions to Hinduism in eastern U.P and Rajasthan during its activities under anti-Shuddhi movement.[3]
In 1917, Allama Naeem-ud-Deen Muradabadi organized the historical Jama'at Raza-e-Mustafa conference at Jamia Naeemia Moradabad, a group whose mission was to curb, and if possible reverse, the tide of re-conversions threatening the Muslim community in the wake of the Shuddhi movement.[4]
Mufti Mustafa Raza Khan was the another influential leader of Jama'at Raza-e-Mustafa who worked against the Shuddhi movement, which aims to convert Muslims to Hinduism in pre-Partition India.[5] The organisation also worked for the defence of Sufi Sunni beliefs in south Asia as practiced by large numbers of people known as Barelvis. It would also act as a quasi-political organisation in opposition to the Deobandi-dominated JUH.[2]
Present[edit]
- Stand on CAA and NRC
In December 2019, following the deaths of people following a protest against the Citizenship (Amendment) Act, 2019 (CAA), Jama'at wrote a letter to president [Ram Nath Kovind]] and Yogi Adityanath, Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, to demand compensation for families of the victims and the injured.[6] In Jamurary 2020 Jama'at announced to hold peaceful protests till the government gives in and announces a rollback of CAA and Proposed NRC. President of Jama'at Raza-e-Mustafa and Sunni Barelvi cleric Mufti Asjad Raza Khan is of the view that CAA/NRC issue is about protecting the constitutional principles and values and it is not a Hindu-Muslim issue. He also praised protesters of anti-CAA protests.,[7] Salman Raza Khan, vice president of Jama'at Raza-e-Mustafa called for boycott of National Population Register if it is not on the lines of the 2011 census.[8]
- Stand on Uniform Civil Code
The Jama'at has opposed any proposed implementation of Uniform Civil Code (UCC). It is of the view that UCC will affect personal laws of not only of Muslims, but of Jain, Sikhs, Parsis and Christians communities too.[9]
- Stand on Haj Tax by Saudi authorities
Jama'at Raza-e-Mustafa opposed the Saudi Arabian government decision to impose 2,000 Riyal or Rs 36,000 as tax on second Haj in 2016.[10]
