The J&K Waqf Board has pushed for uniform Friday sermons at all mosques in the Union Terrorist (UT) and will become the first region in the country to adopt this mechanism to ensure the topics to be highlighted at religious places are pre-decided and approved by a committee of preachers.
“Almost a month ago, a directive was issued to all the preachers to have a common khutba (sermon) at all places (of worship). One topic will be selected and the same topic will be highlighted (in the mosques),” Ishtiyaq Mohi-ud-Din, an Executive Magistrate at the Board, told hundreds of preachers who attended the Waqf meeting in a virtual mode from different districts of J&K on Sunday.
