It is not for nothing and without valid reasons that there is reverberating a slogan ‘’Modi Hai Tu Mumkin Hai.’’ It is in fact Modi and his NDA government which is achieving impossible feats one after the other and after the abolition of triple tlaq ,abrogation of controversial Article 370 of the constitution ,and construction of a grand Ram Temple in Ayodhya and the consecration of the Lord Rama there ,now Modi has again created history by getting passed the most controversial piece of legislation called Waqf [Amendment]bill 2025 in both the houses of the country’s parliament.PM Modi and his government deserves a pat at their back for getting the controversial legislation passed in the parliament and thus Modi has once again created history and his name will be written in the golden letters in the history of the nation.

Muslim leadership barring some fanatic organizations and leaders have welcomed Modi’s bold and correct decision of passing a bill called Waqf [Amendment] bill in both the houses of parliament. Muslim community by and large has paid thanks /Shukerayana to Modi and his government for the opportune and bold decision of ensuring the passage of the Waqf[Amendment]bill 2025 in parliament. In fact it is Modi who had done what congress could not do during its long stint as the ruling party and now Modi has achieved unachievable and furthered the interests of the Muslim community. The Waqf –Amendment Bill 2025 has been passed for the proper, democratic governance and management of the Waqf board so as to serve the Muslim community rather than furthering the interests of those who are in command of the Waqf Board. Transparency, efficient management and accountability and responsibility of all those will be fixed who are at the helm of affairs of the Waqf Board and its properties will get proper and lawful registration and the chances of unnecessary claiming the lands and properties of other communities will get stopped once the Waqf –Amendment Act 2025 is implemented in letter and spirit.
Waqf-Amendment Bill 2025 is not against Muslims and Muslim Religion as it has to do nothing with these ,but rather it is a bill to control and govern the Waqf Boards and its properties and ensuring that such properties and their yearly incomes are used in the welfare of the Muslim community. The Muslim widows, divorcees, orphans and women will get justice once the bill is implemented. Thus Modi has ensured that Muslim Waqf properties are and their income is used for the welfare and betterment of the Muslim community and all arbitrariness of those managing the affairs of the Waqf properties will come to an end once this bill becomes a law and is implemented in the interest of the minority community and the interests of the government will also be safeguarded. Parliament approved the Waqf [Amendment]bill 2025 ,with Rajya Sabha giving its nod in the early hours of April 4,2025,Friday following a 12 –hour marathon debate.
The legislation was passed in the upper house with 128 votes in favor and 95 against. There are many benefits which will accrue to the Muslim community once this controversial bill is implemented. According to the Waqf [Amendment]Bill ,Waqf tribunals will be strengthened ,a structured selection process will be maintained ,and a tenure will be fixed to ensure efficient dispute resolution. As per the bill, while Waqf institutions mandatory contribution to Waqf boards is reduced from 7% to 5% .Waqf institutions earning over Rs 1 lakh will undergo audits by the state-sponsored auditors.

It stipulates that women must receive their inheritance before the Waqf declaration , with special provision for widows ,divorced women and orphans. The bill proposes that an officer above the rank of collector investigate government properties claimed as Waqf. It also proposes that non-Muslim members be included in the central and state Waqf boards for inclusivity. Maulana Shahabuddin Razvi ,the National President of All India Muslim Jamaat ,has expressed his strong support for the Waqf –Amendment Bill ,2025,calling it a significant step towards improving the socio-economic conditions of Muslims in India. The Bill, which passed through will ensure that they benefit the marginalized Muslim communities.
In his first public statement after the passage of the Waqf bill, Maulana Shahabuddian hailed the effort of the Modi government and emphasized that the Waqf –[Amendment] Bill would be a boon for the common Muslims ,stating that it was in no way harmful to them.’’ The Waqf Amendment Bill does not harm common Muslims,it will benefit them. The only ones who stand to lose are the Waqf land mafias who have illegally occupied valuable land. Common Muslims will not be affected by this,’’ he clarified. The Maulana further explained that the primary objective of the was to safeguard the interests of the poor and vulnerable sections, within the Muslim community. He elaborated that the revenue generated from Waqf land would be directed towards enhancing the socio-economic status of impoverished Muslims, with a focus on those who cannot afford quality education for their children .’’The income from Waqf land will be used for the benefit of poor Muslims ,helping children from low –income families get a better education ,and assisting orphans ,and widows in their development, ’’Maulana Said.PM Narendra Modi lauded the passage of the Waqf [Amendment]Bill ,2025 ,in both the houses of parliament ,describing it as a ‘’watershed moment.’’
In a post on X,Modi emphasized that the legislation would particularly benefit marginalized sections of society.’’ The passage of the Waqf[Amendment]Bill and the Mussalman Waqf –Repeal Bill by both Houses of Parliament marks a watershed moment in our collective quest for socio-economic justice ,transparency and inclusive growth. This will particularly help those who have long remained on the margins,thus denied both voice and opportunity.’’ The prime minister thanked parliamentarians for their participation in discussions and acknowledged public contributions to parliamentary committee.’’ For decades, the Waqf system was synonymous with lack of transparency and accountability. This especially harmed the interests of Muslim women, poor Muslims, Pasmanda Muslims. The legislation passed by the parliament will boost transparency and also safeguard people’s rights,’’ Modi said. The government defended the legislation as a ‘’historic reform’’ aimed at benefitting the minority community and promoting inclusive growth .Modi stressed that these changes would help build a strong ,more inclusive and more compassionate India.’’
PDP chief Mehbooba Mufti has strongly opposed the passage of the Waqf Bill saying it is the conspiracy against Muslims. Congress president Kharge labeled the Passage of the Waqf Amendment Bill as unconstitutional and against the Muslims. But all progressive Muslims and their leaders have thanked Modi for the passage of the Waqf Bill. In short the waqf Amendment Bill will reform, transform and revolutionize the management of the Waqf Boards and its properties and will also ensure transparency, accountability and guarantee that the income of the Waqf Boards is used for the welfare of the Muslim community. Thus there should be no misunderstanding about this important legislation as its purpose is the reform and modernize the Waqf Boards so that its properties are managed efficiently for the benefit of the common Muslims. By and large Muslim leadership and community is expressing Shukerayan to Modi Ji for his bold and just step to revolutionized the waqf law for the good of the Muslim community.
