@bilalfarooqi201 @TariqJamilOFCL @WaseemBadami @IamShaistaLodhi @yousaf1788 Thanks! Regarding (1) I'm not aware of the details (though I do know Message TV were one of the earliest broadcasters of his speeches), and (2) I do cover this in quite some detail (see below)

@RiyazTimol @TariqJamilOFCL @WaseemBadami @IamShaistaLodhi @yousaf1788 Wonderful piece. 2 things 1. Molana fought with Message TV admin,streaked their youtube channels even though they were recording him long before 2008, Second another controversy which you did not mention is the internal criticism he received from his fellow deobandis.

An important study.

Really glad I learned (on here) about @RiyazTimol's recent article on Tariq Jameel. Thanks for the tag! I was able to add a last minute citation to this important article into a piece I have forthcoming on Muslim televangelists and Islamic Reform in modernity.

Low pay and high demands: the UK is facing a shortage of full-time imams reports @onlinehyphen Lead of our major project Understanding British Islams @RiyazTimol of @IslamUKCentre is quoted ow.ly/tK4g50MA3rs #islam #careers

MUST READ: This important article shines a spotlight on the poor pay and working conditions of many British imams👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽 It draws upon data from our major four-year Cardiff University @IslamUKCentre research project due to be published later this year: cardiff.ac.uk/research/explo…

@MatthewJKuiper @RiyazTimol Thanks for highlighting this article, it looks great! I’m excited to read it in detail.

@tuvefloden @MatthewJKuiper Thanks Tuve, I benefited from your dissertation on popular Arab preachers (Amr Khaled, Ahmad al-Shugairi and Tariq al-Suwaidan) which I cite and which helped me construct a contextual framework for the emergence of MTJ in the Pakistani public sphere...

I just read @RiyazTimol's article on M. Tariq Jamil. This is first major study on Pakistan's leading, & one of the world's most popular, Muslim preachers. The article is original, theoretically sophisticated, and elegantly written. I highly recommend it!👇 mdpi.com/2077-1444/14/1…
