Tariq Jamil (Urdu: طارق جمیل; born 1 January 1953) is a Pakistani Islamic television preacher, religious writer, scholar and a member of the Tablighi Jamaat.[2][3][4]
Early life and education
Tariq Jamil was born on 1 January 1953 in Mian Channu, Pakistan.[5] Jamil is an alumnus of Government College University, Lahore. He received his Islamic education from Jamia Arabia, Raiwind, where he studied Qur’an, Hadith, Sufism, logic, and Islamic jurisprudence.[4][6]
Jamil enrolled in King Edward Medical College after finishing pre-medical from Government College Lahore, but his desire for religious education prevailed, so he left King Edward without completing MBBS.[7][6]
Career
Tariq Jamil has delivered religious sermons internationally and comes from a school of thought called Deobandi.[8] He supports ethnic and sectarian harmony.[9][10]
Jamil's sermons focus on "self-purification, avoidance of violence, observance of Allah’s orders and pursuing the way of Prophet Muhammad."[4]
Jamil has been named continuously as one as of The 500 Most Influential Muslims in the world by the Royal Aal al-Bayt Institute for Islamic Thought in Jordan from 2013 to 2019.[4]
Tariq Jamil has influenced Junaid Jamshed, cricketer Inzamam Ul Haq, actress and host Veena Malik, and actor Aamir Khan.[11][12][13]
Controversy
In April 2020, he blamed God’s wrath at dishonesty in society and the immodesty of women for the outbreak and spread of COVID-19.[14][15] As well as praying for the welfare of the country and an end to vice, he said: “When a Muslim’s daughter practices immodesty and the youth indulges in immorality, then Allah’s torment is unto such a nation.”[16][17]
Human rights proponents and other members of Pakistani society condemned the remarks.[18] Human Rights Minister Shireen Mazari responded by saying: "Misogynistic" and "ignorant" comments blaming women and youth for the ongoing coronavirus crisis were "absolutely unacceptable".[19]
