In a powerful condemnation, two of Pakistan’s top religious figures have denounced Noor Wali Khan for allegedly joining hands with India. Maulana Abdul Khabir Azad, Chairman of the Central Ruet-e-Hilal Committee, and Maulana Tahir Ashrafi, Head of the Pakistan Ulema Council, called this alliance a direct threat to Pakistan’s national unity.
Maulana Abdul Khabir Azad did not hold back. He openly referred to Noor Wali Khan as a Kharijite. He said this terrorist is trying to spread violence and confusion with help from a hostile neighbor. “We will not let the agenda of the Kharijites succeed,” he declared. He added that Noor Wali’s views do not represent any school of Islamic thought. “His narrative is baseless and rejected by all religious scholars,” Azad said.
Speaking further, Maulana Azad reminded the nation that taking up arms against the state is haram. “Fighting your own country is not jihad. It is rebellion,” he said. He assured that no matter what action the government takes, the religious leadership will support it. “From every pulpit across the country, we will stand with Pakistan,” he affirmed.
Maulana Tahir Ashrafi also criticized Noor Wali Khan in strong words. He said that no true Muslim can ever side with those who are enemies of Islamic nations. “The Quran and Sunnah make it very clear,” he stated. “A believer must not join hands with those who fight Islam.” Ashrafi warned that whoever supports the enemies of Islam becomes part of them. This, he said, is a clear rule from Islamic teachings.
Noor Wali Khan, currently hiding in Afghanistan, has come under serious fire. He is accused of partnering with India to harm Pakistan. This charge has caused outrage among religious leaders and the public alike.
Both Maulana Azad and Maulana Ashrafi reminded Afghanistan of its responsibilities. They said that Afghan soil must not be used to target neighboring countries, especially Pakistan. These were not just personal opinions. The religious scholars stressed that such agreements are part of international commitments. Violating them is not only unlawful but unethical.
In closing, the two religious heads sent a clear message. The security and unity of Pakistan are sacred. Any attempt to break this unity—whether by Noor Wali Khan or anyone else—will be crushed. They pledged to support all government measures against terrorism. They called Noor Wali Khan’s actions a betrayal of Islam and Pakistan.
This united voice from Pakistan’s religious leadership makes one thing very clear: Noor Wali Khan and his so-called movement are isolated, exposed, and condemned—both in religion and in the nation’s law.
