Rivalry with Muhammad Ali Mirza

Tariq Masood has had a long rivalry with scholar Muhammad Ali Mirza.[8] The debate between both scholars is particularly about Muawiyah, the First Caliph of the Umayyad Caliphate.[9] Mirza challenged Masood to arrive in Jhelum and have a debate face to face.[8] In May 2021, the debate was postponed since Masood didn't come in [2] After many months, Masood finally accepted the challenge and went to Jhelum for the debate.[10] However, Masood claimed that he had tried to make contacts with Mirza, but there was no answer.[10] Masood claimed that he took a very long journey from Karachi to Jhelum for discussion.[10]

Standing up to China

In July 2019 Masood learned that some Chinese companies in Pakistan did not allow Muslim employees to perform daily obligatory prayers during working hours.[11][12] Masood urged employees to tell their Chinese employers that "they'll have to follow local laws and the country does not belong to them."[12] Masood said, "People are afraid that they will lose their jobs."[12] An old video of Masood saying this surfaced on social media on 26 June 2020.[12]

COVID-19

During the COVID-19 pandemic in Pakistan, the Government of Sindh announced a lockdown on 22 March 2020.[13] Muhammad Taqi Usmani (of Jamia Darul Uloom, Karachi) announced on 25 March 2020 that people should still congregate for prayers except for those over fifty, young children and people with COVID-19 symptoms.[14]

Masood disagreed with Usmani by supporting a ban on congregational prayers.[14] Masood said: "We still don't understand the intensity of this virus. You can pray at home during this time and ask Allah for forgiveness and health."[14]

On 7 April 2020, Masood took part in a BOL Entertainment programme to give people religious advice on COVID-19.[15]
