Issues Addressed
In their campaign as per the ideology of Salafiyya, some of the issues that the scholars of the KNM address are:
- Combating of shirk in all its forms, opposing worship of graves and fake godmen among Muslims.
- Opposing all forms of bid'ah officially and any matter that is contrary to the sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad.
- Promoting the khutba (Friday sermon) in the local language, Malayalam.
- Safeguarding the right of the Muslim woman to pray inside the mosque, *Denouncing terrorism and violence.
- Combating social evils such as dowry system, denial of education to girls, etc.
The organisation won vital achievements in religious and social level. For example - Several decades ago, school education was denied to Muslim girls based on the fatwa issued by the Sufi clergymen in Kerala. The continued efforts of the KNM has resulted in the elimination of this practice and led to the development of the Muslim society in Kerala. Over the years, the KNM has been instrumental in the eradication of many social evils, shirk and bid'ah among Muslims. The Sufi clerics had even opposed the translation of the Qur'an, which is the holy book of the Muslims.
