In many of his speeches he propagates theories of Wilayat-e-Fiqh.[7]

Islamic Awakening Movement

Syed Jawad Naqvi is the founder and leader of movement of Islamic Awakening in the sub-continent. ″Tehreek e Baidari e Ummat e Mustafa SAWW″ was launched in the congregation of 7 October 2012 held at Nasir Bagh Lahore in condemnation of blasphemy against Prophet Muhammad. Gatherings were held throughout Pakistan in order to initiate a movement against nations such as the US and Israel who were held responsible for this blasphemy.[8] According to Syed Jawad Naqvi, Tehreek e Baidari e Ummat e Mustafa SAWW (Islamic Awakening Movement) is not an organizational set-up of any political party but it is a socio-cultural and educational movement for the mobilization of Ummah. Islamic Awakening or Islamic revival is global phenomenon of political Islam which started in 20th century and was expedited by Islamic Revolution in Iran. Though he is one of highly knowledgeable cleric in India and pakistan subcontinent.

In March 2015, just after the inauguration of Jamia Masjid Allama Mufti Jaffar, Friday prayer started there and Syed Jawad Naqvi delivered more than 70 Friday sermons there.[9] Now he delivers "Friday Lectures" in Masjid Bait ul Ateeq, Lahore.[10] Weekly Ahyae Jumma newspaper is published of these Friday lectures. This newspaper contains detailed political analysis of weekly national, regional and global issues.[11]

Works

Naqvi has written many books on the Quran, Pan Islamic Unity, Karbala and Islam including:

  • Islam and Secularism
  • Adaab-e-Fahm-e-Quran
  • Aqdar-e-Ashura
  • Fitna Akhruz Zaman
  • Wahdat Ummat Ka Faramoush Rukn
  • Rasm-i-Shabiri
  • Hussain (pbuh)-Waris-e-Anbia
  • Karbala ek hi rasta

Although most of his works are in Urdu, some of his publications have been translated into English, such as

  • The Candle of the Path of Allah
  • Defeated Velvet Revolution in Iran
  • Values of Aashura
  • The Philosophy of Islam
  • The System of Wilayat
  • Nuclear Deal or No Deal
  • War on Yemen
  • Recognition of Quran
  • Basis of Wilayat-e-Faqeeh

Controversy

In 2013, Naqvi was banned by Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif from lecturing at Masjid-e-Muhammadi in Lahore, over the fears that his lectures would incite action against oppression.[12][13][14] This occurred after Police deliberately prevented Naqvi's security from entering the mosque, sparking mass protests outside the mosque. Allegedly his security guard was carrying unlicensed weapon[12]

Allegations against Naqvi

In a report of an American Institute, he has been described as pro-Iran and alleged to be financially supported by Iran. Alex Vatanka writes in an article titled "The Guardian of Pakistan's Shia"[15] published by Hudson Institute, a strategic think-tank based in Washington. It Says:

"Accordingly, many of Pakistan's Shia religious figures have become highly vocal and partisan supporters of Khamenei. For example, Syed Jawad Naqvi, a true prominent Islamic preacher and the head of a state of the art Shia seminary in Pakistan, idealizes the theocracy in the Islamic Republic of Iran and calls himself a devoted follower of Khamenei. He has additionally published articles as well as a book denouncing Iran's anti-clerical Green opposition movement. Surprisingly, Naqvi's seminary was reportedly established in part with financial support from Iran."[16]

Works about Naqvi's views

Some researchers have contributed works about his political ideology.

1. Politics of Shi‘i Identity in South Asia: Syed Jawad Naqvi's Concept of Wilayat-i Fiqh [17] by Wendy Qian (Centre for Modern Indian Studies, Faculty of Social Sciences, Georg-August-Universität, Göttingen.

2. "Notes from the Margins: Shi‘a Political Theology in Contemporary Pakistan" [18] by Mashal Saif, Duke University, Durham, North Carolina, US.
