Non-discriminatory governance demanded

KABUL (TOLOnews): A number of Shia scholars asked the Islamic Emirate to govern Afghanistan without discrimination.

They said that the Shia people have been cooperative with the caretaker government under all circumstances and will support the Islamic system.

These religious scholars expressed their demands in a program titled “The Role of Scholars in the Spiritual Life of Muslims.”

“The leaders of the Islamic Emirate and scholars who are at the helm should think about religion in Afghanistan according to the Islamic system, without discrimination, prejudice, and personal inclinations,” said Bazel, a religious scholar.

“There must be elements and factors for a society to be alive and have a spiritual life,” said Misbah, another religious scholar.

According to them, for the betterment of society, it is necessary for religious scholars and the government to work together collaboratively.

“Both religious scholars and the government have a responsibility that is shared between the scholars and the rulers, which must be fulfilled for the people,” said Ali Dad, a religious scholar.

“If we say that the limits must be enforced, it is the duty of those who can implement God’s decree,” said Sadiq Afghan, another religious scholar.

Aminullah Zahed, head of Vice and Virtue at 18thPD, who was also present at the program, emphasized Islamic veiling in society.

“Currently, some women appear in the market looking like men, their hair and adornments visible from afar,” said Aminullah Zahed, head of Vice and Virtue at 18thPD.

Participants in this program once again emphasized the prevention of evil in the country and called for the creation of job opportunities for the youth.
