The video released on the Mubasher Lucman YouTube channel today is a balanced and in-depth analysis of stance taken by different state officials which are contrary to the government’s directive. The statements have exposed the general public at risk in this period of a pandemic.
Mubasher Lucman has praised Saleem Safi, a renowned journalist and his article in Jung News has been referred to as serious, thorough, and polite.
Mubasher reiterated that leaders are formed or destroyed during the testing times and in this pandemic, our leaders like Maulana Fazal-ur-Rehman, Siraj-ul-Haq, Maulana Tariq Jameel, and Pir Naqeeb have lived up to the expectations. They have shown maturity instead of point-scoring and political gain, they lent support to government and backed the state directive.
As per Saleem Safi’s article, in this crisis, all the major religious and political personalities right from the day one emphasized the need for social distancing. According to them the government should have taken a serious step in the beginning and utilized the initial period. A unanimous fatwa could have been framed to avoid the current standoff on the opening of Mosque.

Lucman informs that Masjid-u- Haram, and Masjid-e-Nabawi the two holy mosques are closed and even the gathering of Farz prayers is not allowed.
While going through Safi’s article in the newspaper, Lucman points out the valid questions by him that in the wake of the prevailing threat if such steps are taken in grand mosques why can’t we follow suit and avoid putting thousands of lives at risk? Why is it necessary to gather for a Nafli Prayer (Taraweh) when we can safely pray at home?
Why a non-practical SOP had to be agreed between religious scholars and Government? Why Mufti Muneeb who is appointed by the government challenged the writ of the government and announced the opening of mosques without consultation?

These questions are valid and the most logical explanation is that huge funds are involved as Zakat and Sadqah are collected during Ramadan. Billions of dollars are distributed in Masjids and Madrassas so individuals involved in this activity don’t want to lose this opportunity.
Lucman conveys a message through his video that time has come when we should understand how masses are exploited and we have to be rational instead of being emotional.
There is a famous proverb, a stitch in time saves nine, had the government taken a proper step, in the beginning, such controversy could have been avoided.
