Islamic Awakening Movement (تحریک بیداری امت مصطفیٰ ص)

Ustad 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(pbuh).

Friday Revival (احیائے جمعۃ المبارک) [42]

In March 2015, just after the inauguration of Jamia Masjid Allama Mufti Jaffar, Friday prayer has been started there and Ustad Syed Jawad Naqvi delivered more than 70 Friday sermons there. His Friday lectures are translated to English and Persian.[43] [44] Soon his famous speeches will be translated into Hindi and Kashmiri languages by Raheislam Educational Organisation.

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.[1][45][46] 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 [1]

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"[47] published by Hudson Institute, a strategic think-tank based in Washington;

"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 the local people of Pakistan."

Further, the reference section says, "There are references in some Iranian media to Naqvi as Pakistan’s “Hassan Nasrallah", the fiery leader of Lebanese Hezbollah."


Iranian-American Forum, an anti-Islamic Republic forum, published a documentary report and alleged that he is representative of Syed Ali Khamenei, the Supreme Leader of Iran. The Report says that the media of Islamic Republic of Iran regard him as the leader of Pakistani Shias.[48]


American based blogger Zahir Ebrahim wrote a long column about Syed Jawad Naqvi, "The Rise of Revolutionary Islam in Pakistan – A Report on Behavior Control"[49]; He says, "Whereas “Hujjatul Islam” Syed Jawad Naqvi makes me a tad nervous because of his superlative brilliance and eloquence. He is a new phenomenon in Pakistan. A most dynamic and unusually learned scholar by my measure. " He further adds, "Whereas this respected new theological savant in Pakistan, “Hujjatul Islam” Syed Jawad Naqvi, is visibly an overzealous exponent of the “Khomeinist revolution”. He most eloquently employs the poetic verses of both Allama Iqbal, and the Holy Qur’an, to argue for that mode of national governance for Pakistan as the only way out of the subjugation of the Pakistanis, to be led by the Shia in Pakistan under the spiritual and political guidance of the global valih-e-faqih du jour who is presently Ali Hosseini Khamenei, the current Supreme Leader of Iran."

Works about Naqvi's Views
