Jamil enrolled in King Edward Medical College after finishing a pre-medical education from Government College Lahore, but he left the college without completing his MBBS when he decided to pursue religious education.[7][6]

Career[]

Jamil has delivered religious sermons internationally and comes from a school of thought called Deobandi.[8] He supports ethnic and sectarian harmony.[9][10]

Jamil was consistently named as one as of The 500 Most Influential Muslims in the world by the Royal Aal al-Bayt Institute for Islamic Thought in Jordan from 2013 to 2019.[4][11][12]

Controversy[]

In April 2020, he blamed God's wrath at dishonesty in society and the immodesty of women for the outbreak and spread of COVID-19.[20][21] Besides praying for the welfare of the country and an end to vice, he said "[w]hen a Muslim’s daughter practices immodesty and the youth indulges in immorality, then Allah’s torment is unto such a nation."[22][23]

Human rights proponents and other members of Pakistani society condemned the remarks.[24] Human Rights Minister Shireen Mazari responded by saying "'[m]isogynistic' and 'ignorant' comments blaming women and youth for the ongoing coronavirus crisis were 'absolutely unacceptable'".[25]
