Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami Ameer Dr. Shafiqur Rahman rejected the idea of religious division on Saturday, stating that his party seeks national unity despite the country's 90.8 percent Muslim majority. He addressed the Central Ulama Committee at the Al-Falah Auditorium in Moghbazar, emphasizing Bangladesh's tradition of peaceful coexistence among Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, and Christians. Rahman argued that people do not choose their birth religion, but Allah grants humans intellect and conscience to select their faith through reasoning.
The Jamaat leader criticized sections of the educated class for harming the nation and expressed disappointment that Bangladesh has failed to build a humane society after 54 years of independence. He asserted that peace and humanity require leadership that is guided by Allah-fearing principles in government. Rahman called on Islamic scholars to maintain unity and provide guidance based on the Quran and Sunnah.
