Salahuddin Ahmed, a member of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) Standing Committee, stated that if his party comes to power, the principle of \u201ctrust and faith in Allah\u201d will be reinstated in the preamble of the Constitution.<\/p>\n

He made the remarks on Saturday (15 November) while attending the Khatm-e-Nubuwwat Grand Conference held at Suhrawardy Udyan in Dhaka.<\/p>\n

Expressing appreciation for the orderly conduct of the gathering, Salahuddin said, \u201cI am impressed by the peaceful arrangement of this assembly and the disciplined way in which everyone is listening to the speeches today. I am here to show my solidarity with you.\u201d<\/p>\n

Salahuddin highlighted the historical context, stating that the country\u2019s founding leader, the late President Ziaur Rahman, had first introduced \u201cBismillahir Rahmanir Rahim\u201d into the Constitution. \u201cIt remains in place despite attempts by many to remove it. However, what has not been restored is the principle Ziaur Rahman had established in the Constitution\u2014trust and faith in Almighty Allah as a guiding principle of state governance, specifically under Article 8. That has been removed. Do you want us to reinstate it? Insha\u2019Allah, we will restore it,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

The BNP leader also referred to remarks made by foreign guests at the event, linking them to the ideas of the Muslim philosopher Allama Iqbal. He reiterated fundamental Islamic beliefs, stating, \u201cThe Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was sent as a mercy to the entire world. We, as Muslims, believe in \u2018La ilaha illallah, Muhammadur Rasulullah.\u2019 The Prophet declared that he is the last prophet; anyone claiming prophethood thereafter is outside this declaration.\u201d He quoted Allama Iqbal to emphasize the continued relevance of these beliefs.<\/p>\n

Salahuddin further addressed global Muslim issues, noting, \u201cWe believe in the finality of Prophethood and identify ourselves as Muslims through the Kalima. As citizens of Bangladesh, we also identify with our national identity. Yet, due to divisions among Muslims worldwide, our brothers and sisters in Palestine are subjected to atrocities, and Rohingya Muslims face persecution in various parts of the world, often due to our collective weakness.\u201d<\/p>\n

He pledged that if the BNP is entrusted with governance, the party would address these demands legally and institutionally through parliamentary processes. \u201cIf the people grant us the responsibility to govern this country and you cooperate with us, we will take steps to ensure that these demands are formally recognized. The entire nation must remain united, and all Muslims in Bangladesh must stand together. Insha\u2019Allah, we will adopt this proposal. Those who oppose the Prophet cannot be considered true Muslims,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The remarks come amid ongoing debates in Bangladesh regarding the constitutional recognition of Islamic principles and the role of religion in governance, reflecting the BNP\u2019s policy priorities in the event of future electoral success.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
