Career

[edit]

From 2010 to 2016, Madani taught as a lecturer in Hadith and Jurisprudence at Al Mahadul Aali Al Islami, Hyderabad. From 2013 to 2016, he chaired the Islamic Courses (Department of Islamization of Textbooks). Between 2013 and 2014, he served as a Mufti on Munsif TV Hyderabad's question-and-answer program Rāh-e-Hidāyat (transl. The Path of instruction), and from 2014 to 2016, he served as a Mufti on ETV Hyderabad's program Sharī'at Ki Roshni Main (transl. In the Light of Shariah).[1] In March 2024, he gave a speech titled Ramadan Ka Paigham (transl. The Message of Ramadan) on ETV Hyderabad's program Raunaq-e-Ramadan.[6]

He is the Deputy Director of Al Mahadul Aali Al Islami, Hyderabad;[7][8][9] the General Secretary of the All India Milli Council, Telangana;[10][11][12] a member of the International Union of Muslim Scholars (Doha, Qatar); and an Islamic legal adviser for IndiaZakat.com. He also serves as the President of the Imam Foundation for Training and Development, UK (India branch), the Friday Imam and Khatib at Jubilee Hills Mosque and Islamic Centre, and a member of the editorial board for the magazines Bahs-o-Nazar and Al-Modawana (Morocco). Additionally, he directs e-Madrasah (Learn Deen with Abedeen).[1][13]

Political views

[edit]

According to the TOI, while talking about Islamic feminism, Madani said that Islamic Shariah has given women the right and authority to terminate their marriages through Khul' if their husbands subject them to oppression and deprive them of their rights.[14]

In connection with raising the slogan Bharat Mata, Madani said that love for the country and worshipping it are two separate subjects that should not be confused with each other. "Without worshipping it, one can love the country as much as any other countryman. The person is like any other patriot."[15]

During the COVID-19 period, he stated that taking the vaccine while fasting is permissible and does not break the fast, citing a hadith from Sahih al-Bukhari that emphasizes precautionary measures during a pandemic.[16]

Madani expressed concerns over the Waqf Amendment Bill, 2024. He criticized the bill for attempting to undermine the Waqf system and highlighted the unconstitutional inclusion of Hindus on Waqf panels. He emphasized that Waqf is a religious act, and the amendments could obstruct its purpose.[17]

In October 2024, Madani condemned recent communal conflicts in Telangana, urging swift police intervention to restore peace and prevent divisive narratives. He highlighted the need for immediate action to curb activities and rhetoric that could increase communal tensions, reflecting his commitment to fostering unity in the region.[18][19]

In early November 2024, Madani urged the Telangana government to release caste survey forms in Urdu and English to ensure accessibility and clarity for the public. He emphasized that many people are unaware of the information required for the ongoing survey and that providing forms in these languages, even as PDFs, would help them participate more effectively in the process.[20]

Literary works

[edit]

Madani researched the hadiths included in the first volume of his father Khalid Saifullah Rahmani's Kitab al-Fatawa. He Islamized more than 30 school curriculum books from the first to the fifth grade and organized two dozen national and international conferences. He has presented papers in Urdu, Arabic, and English at over 100 seminars.[1] His works include:[1][21][22][23]
