Abstract
The present study analyzes the diffusion of television among the religious
scholars of Pakistan, particularly the scholars of Hanafi Thought. Since its
advent, television got animosity from the Muslims scholars of sub-continent.
They considered television un-Islamic as it contained images which were
disallowed in Islamic teachings. However, in the present times, many religious
scholars are utilizing TV for promoting and preaching Islam. In Pakistan,
scholars of Dawat-e-Islamy and Moulana Tariq Jameel (one of the leading
scholar of Tablighi Jamat) have transformed their positions and are actively
engaged in using TV for preaching. The huge audience following and market
appreciation support that TV is a popular and the most feasible medium to
promote Islamic teachings.
