Earlier, AIMPLB General Secretary Maulana Mohammed Fazlur Rahim Mujaddidi issued a video appeal posted on the Board's X handle, urging people to wear a black armband on their right hand while attending the Juma prayers.
AIMPLB member Khalid Rasheed Farangi Mahli, while speaking to ANI, said, “AIMPLB and other Muslim organisations had spoken about the Waqf (Amendment) Bill and how we do not approve of it…With this Bill, Waqf properties would be in the danger zone.”
He further explained that more than 90 percent of Waqf properties consist of mosques, dargahs and cemeteries. “But nobody has listened to our plea of not turning this Bill into law”. He then said, "On this day of 'Alvida,' we have appealed to all Muslims to wear black armbands to register their protest against the Waqf Amendment Bill."

Alvida Jumma, or Jumat-ul-Wida, marks the final Friday of Ramzan and holds deep spiritual significance for Muslims. Fridays are regarded as the holiest day of the week in Islam, and this particular Jummah is observed with heartfelt congregational prayers as a farewell to the blessed month of fasting.
