Maulana Salman Nadwi, Muslim cleric who backed Ram Temple dialogue, dies at 72 in Lucknow

Prominent Islamic scholar Maulana Salman Husaini Nadwi, one of the few Muslim clerics who openly supported dialogue to resolve the Ayodhya dispute, has passed away in Lucknow at the age of 72. Nadwi was widely known for his efforts to promote communal harmony and for backing an amicable resolution to the Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid dispute through discussions rather than prolonged legal battles. At a time when the issue remained deeply polarising, he emerged as a rare Muslim voice willing to explore a negotiated settlement. https://ift.tt/rLb0Aiq
