“Each topic will have talking points making it easier for the prayer leaders and the students to speak over these topics which will help in social reforms through the mosques”, CII chairman said.
He was of the view that the key objective would be to impart similar knowledge among scholars of various schools of thought.
On the other hand, it was made clear by CII member Hafiz Tahir Ashrafi that it would not be made mandatory for the clerics to deliver sermons from the book and it would just act as a guideline.
“This will only be a guideline and will not be forced upon the prayer leaders. The book will be a pattern and guideline for them,” Hafiz Ashrafi added.
