在印度管辖的克什米尔地区，一项在关联清真寺和宗教机构中引入周五布道共同主题的提议引发了政治领袖和穆斯林宗教团体的强烈反对。
A proposal to introduce common themes for Friday sermons at affiliated mosques and religious institutions in Indian-administered Kashmir has triggered backlash from political leaders and Muslim religious bodies.
查谟-克什米尔邦首席部长奥马尔·阿卜杜拉周二称该提议“不可接受”，指责印度人民党（BJP）干涉穆斯林宗教事务，并敦促查谟-克什米尔瓦克夫委员会主席撤回该提议。
Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Tuesday called the proposal “unacceptable,” accusing the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of interfering in Muslim religious affairs and urging the Jammu and Kashmir Waqf Board chairperson to withdraw it.
“由BJP任命的主席必须立即停止这种讨好上级的错误尝试，”阿卜杜拉在美国社交媒体平台上的一篇帖子中表示。人民民主党（PDP）主席梅赫布巴·穆夫蒂也批评了这一举动，质疑谁将决定伊玛目应当布道什么内容。
“The BJP-appointed Chairperson must immediately halt this misplaced attempt to please her masters,” Abdullah said in a post on US social media company People’s Democratic Party (PDP) President Mehbooba Mufti also criticized the move, questioning who would decide what imams should preach.
“我们的伊玛目和毛拉维知道该说什么以及何时说话，”她说，呼吁将瓦克夫委员会置于查谟-克什米尔邦政府的行政控制之下。
“Our imams and maulvis know what to say and when to speak,” she said, calling for the board to come under the administrative control of the Jammu and Kashmir government.
查谟-克什米尔瓦克夫委员会实际上受印度人民党（BJP）执政政府控制，而非当地选举产生的政府。
The Jammu and Kashmir Waqf Board is under the control of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party rather than the local elected government.
由米尔瓦伊兹·乌马尔·法鲁克领导的宗教组织联合体“穆塔希达马吉利斯-乌莱玛”（MMU）强烈谴责了这一举动，并表示“确定布道内容是伊斯兰学者的责任，而非行政机构的职责。”它敦促委员会专注于管理和保护瓦克夫财产。前斯利那加市长朱奈德·马图也质疑此举对宗教自由的影响。
The Mutahida Majlis-e-Ulema (MMU), a grouping of religious organisations, headed by Mirwaiz Umar Farooq strongly condemned the move and said “that determining sermon content was the responsibility of Islamic scholars and not an administrative body.”It urged the board to focus on managing and protecting Waqf properties.
“如果BJP想决定我们的伊玛目在周五布道中说什么，‘宗教自由’这一假象还剩下什么？？？或者宪法？”他在社交媒体上写道。
Former Srinagar Mayor Junaid Mattu also questioned the implications for religious freedom.
此争议源于瓦克夫委员会主席达拉克尚·安德拉比宣布成立一个由穆夫提、伊玛目和赫提卜组成的核心委员会，以确定并最终确定关联机构的共同布道主题。
“If the BJP wants to decide what our Imams say in Friday sermons, what is left in this pretense of ‘freedom of religion’??? Or the Constitution??” he said on The controversy follows Waqf Board Chairperson Darakhshan Andrabi’s announcement of a core committee of muftis, imams and khateebs to identify and finalize common sermon topics for affiliated institutions.
然而，她否认委员会曾发布任何命令，使周五布道的共同主题在其关联清真寺中成为强制性要求。
However, she denied that the board had issued any order making common themes for Friday sermons compulsory in its affiliated mosques.
她坚持认为，宗教学者和布道者可以自由决定其布道主题，而不受董事会的干涉。
She maintained that religious scholars and preachers were free to decide the subjects of their sermons without interference from the board.
