In 1679, a fatwa was issued from Jaunpur against Aurangzeb, accusing him of apostasy and heresy. The fatwa was issued by a group of Sunni scholars who opposed Aurangzeb&#8217;s policies, which they believed were too lenient towards Hindus and other non-Muslims. The fatwa called for Aurangzeb to be deposed and replaced by a more orthodox Muslim ruler.<\/p>\n<p>Aurangzeb was a controversial figure in his own time, and his policies continue to be debated by historians and religious scholars today. Some historians argue that Aurangzeb was a devout Muslim who was simply trying to implement Islamic law in his empire. Others argue that Aurangzeb was a tyrant who used religion as a pretext to persecute non-Muslims.<\/p>\n<p>The fatwa issued from Jaunpur is one of the most famous examples of opposition to Aurangzeb&#8217;s rule. The fatwa shows that Aurangzeb&#8217;s policies were not universally popular, even among Muslims.
