Religious Scholars in Politics: Islamic Emirate's Perspective

The leader of the Islamic Emirate said that Western countries are endeavoring to sever the ties between religion and politics in Muslim countries.

According to the Ministry of Higher Education, the leader of the Islamic Emirate, during the final day of a three-day seminar held by the ministry in Kandahar, said that advancing political matters is the right of the religious scholars.

Shiekh Hibatullah Akhundzada also emphasized the decree of general amnesty, stating that the Islamic Emirate harbors good intentions towards all Muslims around the world, including Afghans and the people of Palestine.

The Islamic Emirate leader's statement said: "Western countries are striving to separate religion from politics; in Islamic countries, it is the right of the scholars to be involved in politics. If my decrees are against religious teachings, the scholars should not accept them."

"In this matter, the esteemed scholars also have an important role in using media, pulpits, and public meetings to convey Islamic culture, Islamic customs, and the traditions of the Prophet Muhammad to the people,” said Hamdullah Fetrat, deputy spokesperson of the Islamic Emirate.

The leader of the Islamic Emirate added in another part of his speech that scholars should prevent disputes, deviations, and disobedience. 

He also told the scholars not to accept his decrees if they are contrary to Sharia.

“The amnesty decree must be pursued with the same intensity, and observed so that we can create a peaceful environment, not only in not harming each other, but the amnesty decree should be followed across all areas concerning the people of Afghanistan,” said Salim Paigir, a political analyst. 

Previously, the leader of the Islamic Emirate criticized foreign countries' interference in the implementation of Sharia laws in his speech for Eid al-Fitr prayers at the Eidgah mosque in Kandahar.
