مولا موتکي صاب
که ستاسو دا لجاجت او ناپوهي وي ، ګومان نه کوم چې دا شاګردان مو ملایان شي.
یا دا وړۍ مو شړۍ کړې .
« ترسم نه رسي به کعبه ای اعرابي
این راه که تو میروي ، به ترکستان رفته است »
سعدی رح
ته لا تراوسه دومره نه پوهېږي چې د امنیتي چارو مسئولیت ستا پرغاړه دی او که د نړیوالو اړیکو جوړولو ؟
اگر اين مدرسه باشد و اين ملا ، حال طفلان را خراب مي بينم.
که په نړیوالو اړیکو نه پوهیږي ، لږ تر لږه ملا شیرمحمد عباس ته یې پرېږده .

ملاصاحب ستړی مه شی

ملاصاحب جنګ او سیاست دوه جدا لاری دی تاسو فکر کوی چه خلک واښه خوری .
ستاسو سیاست فقط له مدرسی پوری کار ورکوی نوره نړی جدا فکر لری نړی چرته روانه ده او ملا صاحب په طمعه ده چی ګوندی نړی بیرته زمونګ لپاره شاتګ وکړی او مونږ په رسمیات وپیژنی .
په طمعه طمعه به دی مړ کړم نه
نه به خوله در کم نه به درکم جوابونه.

During the ‘Quit India’ movement in 1942 against the British, Mufti Mahmood took part in the campaign on behalf of Jamiat-ul-Ulema-e-Hind. He was not only an elected Member of its Majlis-e-Amila but also Councilor the party. In 1950, he got a teaching job in Madrassa Qasim-ul-Uloom in Multan. Later on, he served at positions of chief Mudarras, In charge of Education, Chief Mufti, Sheikh-ul-Hadith, and Muhtamim. As a Mufti, he passed on at least 25,000 Fatawa.

Mufti Mahmood took an active part in Tahreek-e-Khatm-e-Nabuwwat in 1953. Being deadly against Ayub Khan’s One Unit Scheme, he was arrested in 1956. In April 1962, he took part in the elections for the National Assembly Seat for the first time under Basic Democracy Program and defeated all the opponents. On 14th July 1962 when law was passed to re-instate all the Political Parties, Mufti Mahmood took charge of Jamiat-Ulema-Islam as Qaim Maqam Ameer and in 1963 he became its Naib Ameer. He was critical of family planning and other policies of Ayub Khan government. Mufti Mahmood was one of the central leaders of “Jamhoori Majlis-e-Amal” that was formed in Dacca by Pakistan’s political parties in Dacca on 8 January 1968. Then in May 1970, Pakistan’s 18 religious and political Parties formed a “Muttahida Deeni Mahaz” whose President was Mufti Mahmood. In December, Elections were held and Mufti Mahmood gained a landslide victory against Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto in the Dera Ismail Khan constituency.

On 26 March, the three main political parties made an agreement that was signed by Z. A. Bhutto from PPP, Abdul Wali Khan from NAP, and Mufti Mahmood from JUI. On 1 May, Mufti Mahmood took oath as Chief Minister of the NWFP.

He was quite efficient and strict in his administration but in 1973, he resigned from his position of chief minister as a protest against the unfair dismissal of the Balochistan Government. In the same year, various political parties of Pakistan formed a coalition of the “Muttahida Jamhoori Mahaz” in order to combat the undemocratic and autocratic ways of Bhutto. Mufti Mahmood was appointed as its Vice-President. Thus Mufti Mahmood played an important role in civil disobedience movement against the Bhutto government.

On 30 June, 137 members of the National Assembly proposed a resolution demanding to declare Qadianis as non-Muslims and Mufti Mahmood’s name was at the top of the list. During Bhutto era and later in Zia regime he actively worked for enforcing Nizam-e-Mustafa in the country. In 1979, when Russians attacked Afghanistan, Mufti Mahmood issued a fatwa for Jehad against the Russians and the puppet regime in Afghanistan. In 1980 he expressed his confidence in General Zia ul Haq’s Islamization but later issued a fatwa against the deduction of Zakat from the salaries of the Government servants. He also established the MRD in the same year.

He died on October 14th 1980 while he was addressing Ulama in the jamia at Binori Town. He was buried in Dera Ismael Khan.

پاکستان خپله ۵۱ کلنه زړه نسخه د طالبانو په نوم تطبيق کړه. خپله يې د مفتي محمود حکومت د برتانيا په نغوته تر فشار لاندې راوړ. تنخوا او خوراکي مواد يې پرې بند کړل او بالآخره يې استعفاء ته اړ ايسته او د ده حکومت يې ونړولو.
