Maulana Mamunul Haque has been elected as the Ameer of Bangladesh Khelafat Majlis while Jalaluddin Ahamad has been elected as secretary general of the party.
They were unanimously elected during the Majlis-e-Shura session held at the Institution of Diploma Engineers on Saturday.
Mamunul Haque succeeds Maulana Abdul Basit Azad on Saturday.
Marking the occasion, the chief patron of the Sheikh al-Hadith Council, Maulana Mahfuzul Haque, president Maulana Tafazzul Haque Aziz, and general secretary Maulana Hasan Junaid issued a joint statement, saying, “The Shura members of Bangladesh Khelafat Majlis have made an important and timely decision.”
“We believe that the leadership of this organization, founded under the guidance of Sheikhul Hadith Allama Azizul Haque (Rahmatullahi Alaihi), has been entrusted to a capable and experienced individual.”
Following the death of Khelafat Majlis’s Ameer Sheikh al-Hadith Maulana Zubair Ahmed Chowdhury, Maulana Abdul Basit Azad was given the responsibility of the acting Ameer of the party.
Later, in September 2023, Maulana Abdul Basit Azad was elected as the Ameer of Khelafat Majlis. Now Maulana Mamunul Haque has been elected as 5th Ameer.
