Srinagar, July 07 (KNS): Anjuman Auqaf Jama Masjid Srinagar on behalf of the organisation and its incarcerated Clchairman Mirwaiz Dr Moulvi Muhammad Umar Farooq, who continues to be under house arrest for the last four years, paid glowing tributes to the rightly guided third Caliph of Islam, Ameer-ul-Moomineen Hazrat Uthman Ghani (RA) on his martyrdom anniversary.

In a statement, issued to Kashmir News Service (KNS), Anjuman termed him the figure of knowledge and action, patience and modesty, trust and honesty and courage and generosity.

It said the great services of Hazrat Uthman Ghani (RA) to Islam, the Messenger of Allah (SAW) and the holy Qur'an are unforgettable.

It urged the Muslims to renew their commitment on the day of martyrdom of Hazrat Uthman Baa Haya (RA) to pledge to adopt the lives of the Rightly Guided Caliphs (RA) as their model and to adopt their great teachings in their practical lives.

Meanwhile, it said that Umar Farooq was again barred to offer congregation Friday prayer and carry out his official responsibilities, which is extremely unfortunate and condemnable.

Even today, a large number of people who came to the historic Central Jama Masjid Srinagar to offer Friday prayer and listen to his sermon had to return disappointed, the Anjuman said. (KNS)
