  • The Politics of Congregational Prayer Trust, Public Health, and Religious Authority in Pakistan
    journal of law, religion and state 8 (2020) 251-271 brill.com/jlrs The Politics of Congregational Prayer Trust, Public Health, and Religious Authority in Pakistan Imran Ahmed School of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences Faculty of Humanities, Arts, Social Sciences and Education University of New England, New South Wales, Australia [email protected] Abstract Religious authorities in many Muslim-majority countries have argued that the suspen- sion of communal prayers during an epidemic does not contravene Islamic law. In Pakistan, such measures have proven difficult to enforce, in part because many reli- gious leaders in the country have opposed the closure of places of worship and the limits placed on public religious gatherings. The question is why? This paper suggests that the distrust of the state in matters of religion in Pakistan can be traced back to the colonial era, and that the political developments following independence have ampli- fied frustration and mistrust between political and religious authorities in the country. Significant sources of contention in matters of religion and state remain unresolved under the prime ministership of Imran Khan. At the same time, the pandemic has thrust earlier conflicts into the spotlight and exposed contests over opinion, expertise, and authority in matters of religion and public health. Keywords Pakistan – coronavirus – Islamic law – religious authority – constitutional politics – public health – colonization – modernization 1 Introduction The spread of the novel coronavirus (sars-CoV-2) has posed considerable gov- ernance challenges for nation states around the world striving to manage a © koninklijke brill nv, leiden, 2020 | doi:10.1163/22124810-2020015Downloaded from Brill.com09/28/2021 04:44:22AM via free access <UN> 252 Ahmed fragile balance between a potential public health disaster, growing societal un- rest, and dramatic economic collapse.

  • Message from Dr. Arif Alvi President of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan On
    Message from Dr. Arif Alvi President of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan (On the occasion of Human Rights Day-2018) This Day is celebrated with pride to acknowledge commitment of the global community towards human rights. This commitment was made in the form of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR). This year marks the 70th anniversary of UDHR and calls for renewed commitment and protection of​ basic human rights. Democratic struggle of the Muslims of sub-continent against colonialism led to the creation of Pakistan in 1947, it was galvanized by the ideals of fundamental freedom and human dignity. These ideals inspired our newly independent country to be amongst the first signatories of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights on the eve of its adoption in 1948. As a member state of United Nations, Pakistan fully endorses the Charter of the United Nations which strives to promote and encourage respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms without any discrimination of race, gender, language or religion. The words of Father of the Nation Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah, are the guiding principle of our policy, “We are equal citizens of one State”. Hence, the Constitution of Pakistan guarantees freedom and fundamental rights to its all citizens. The Government of Pakistan attaches high priority to advancing the objectives of development, human rights and democracy and is working hard to implement its international commitments through Treaty Implementation Cells that have been set up at both Federal and Provincial level. Pakistan continues to regularly report relevant Treaty Bodies on the implementation of conventions signed.
