The Jamaat-e-Islami Hind has taken a firm stand against the controversial Waqf Amendment Act, 2025, urging for its immediate repeal. The organization has labeled the legislation as 'unconstitutional, unjust, and discriminatory' and is rallying public support for a campaign spearheaded by the All India Muslim Personal Law Board.

The Supreme Court has been assured by the Centre that no waqf properties, categorized under 'waqf by user,' will be denotified and appointments to the central waqf council are halted until the next court hearing in May. However, the Jamaat remains adamantly opposed to the inclusion of non-Muslims in waqf councils and boards.

The Muslim organization has voiced broader concerns, criticizing economic injustices and global conflicts, particularly in Palestine. They are seeking widespread awareness and advocacy, appealing to democratic institutions and civil society to push back against legislative and constitutional violations.
