AIUMB is a product of a necessity felt in the spiritual, ethical and social thought process of Khaqwahs. Khanqwahs also have made up their mind to update the process and change with the changing times. As it is a fact that Khanqwahs cannot ignore some of the pressing problems of the community so the necessity to change the work culture of these centers of preaching and learningandhealingwasfeltstrongly.AIUMBcondemnsallthosedeedsandwordsthat destabilize the country as it is well known that this religion of peace never preaches hatred .Islam isforpeace.Securityforallistherealcall.AIUMBcondemnsviolenceinallitsformand manifestationandalwaysreadytohealthewoundsofallthemauledandoppressedhuman beings. The integral part of the manifesto of AIUMB is peace and development. And that is why Board gives first priority to establish centers of quality modern education in Sunni Sufi dominated aresofthecountry.TheothersignificantobjectivesoftheBoardareprotectionofwaqf properties, development of Mosques, Aastanas, Dargahs and Khanqwahs. ThisBoardisalsoactiveinsecuringworkablereservationforMuslimsineducationand employment in proportion to their population. For this we have been organizing meetings in U.P, Rajasthan,Gujrat,Delhi,Bihar,WestBengal,Jharkhand,Chattisgadh,Jammu&Kashmir,and otherstatesbesideshugeSunniSuficonferencesandMuslimMahaPanchayets.Sunni conference (Muradabad 3rd Jan 2011)Bhagalpur(10th May 2010 ) and Muslim Maha Panchayet at PakbaraMuradabad(16thOctober2011)andalsoMashaikhetareeqatconferenceofBareilly (26th November 2011 ) are some of the examples. HISTORICAL FACT AND THE NEED OF THE HOUR ThehistoryofIndiabearswitnesstothatfactthatwhenAlamaFazleHaqKhairabadi gave the clarion call to fight for the freedom of our country all the Khanqahs and almost all the Ulama and Mashaikh of Ahl-E-Sunnah Wal-Jamaat rose in unison and gave proof of their national unity and fought for Independence which resulted in liberation of our country from British rule. Butaftergainingfreedom,ourKhanqahsandTheUlamaofAhl-E-SunnahWal-Jamaat wentbacktotheworkofdawaandspreadingIslam,thinkingthattheeffortsthatwere undertaken to gain freedom are distant from religion and leaving it to others to do the job. Thus the Independence for which our Ulama and Mashaikh paid supreme sacrifice and laid down their lives resulted in us being enslaved and thereby depriving us legimative right to participate in the governance of our country. After the Independencehundreds of issues were faced by the Umma, whether religious or economic were not dealt with in a proper way and we kept lagging behind.

Similarly when we look towards political parties big or small we see a specific non-Sunnilobbyhavingstrongpresence.InalltheInstitutionmentionedaboveandinallpolitical parties Sunni presence is conspicuous by its absence. Time and again Ulama and Mashaikh have declared that the Sunnis constitutes a total of approximately 75% of all Muslim population. This assertion have lived with us as a mere slogan and we have not been able to assert ourselves nor have we made any concerted efforts to do so. It is the need of the hour that The Ulama and Mashaikh should unite and come on single platformunderthebannerofAhl-E-SunnahWal-Jamaattoputforwardtheirmessagetothe SunniQaum.TopropagateourmessageSunniconferencesshouldbeheldintheDistrictHead QuartersandStateCapitalsatleastonceayeartoshowourstrengthandnumbersthisisan uphilltaskandwouldrequirehugeeffortsbutrestassured thatoncewedothat weshallbe abletodemonstrateournumberleavingthenon-Sunniwaybehindtherebychangingthe perception of political parties towards us and ensuring proper representation in every field.
