Introduce Islam to the World In Better way : Moulan Yousuf Islahi

The plight of Umma in the present scenario reflects the saying of Prophet Muhammed PBUM that the day will come when it will be attacked by the united opponents as the hungry men attack the dining table. Companions(R) asked, they will be in lesser numbers. The Prophet said “No”, they will be in large numbers but will be without influence and weight. He said it will be due to fear of death and love for the worldly desires. The community which fears death is the dead community. The community dares the evil survives. These were the words expressed by Moulana Muhammed Yousuf Islahi, Member Central Advisory Council, Jamaat e Islami Hind while addressing the huge gathering at Faraan College ground on Thursday the 16^th February 2012.

Continuing his speech he said, this was the forethought of Prophet Muhammed (s) preached so that Umma tried to re-establish itself as the best Community in the world as and when it was suppressed by the evil forces.

He said that this Umma will survive the testing times till the last day (dooms day) as it has the Quran with it. It is Allah SWT promise that he has taken responsibility on to himself to protect Quran and the same lord will protect the Umma.

He said the whole universe is in the fingers of Allah SWT. And Allah SWT acts according to his whims and wishes however the devil forces try to destroy peace and calling people towards right path. Moulana said we do not have the ability to spread the word of Allah SWT, but it is Allah SWT`s will that has made it possible to spread his word through the very people who are opposing this message. The same he did in Prophets (S) period through the acts of Abu Jahal, Abu Lahab, Utba, Shoeba etc and same he is doing with the like of modern media in the hands of opponents of Islam.  The opponents of Islam have introduced Islam to the humanity in wrong way and it is our duty to introduce it in right way. He said today Islam is the most discussed subject.

Quoting the example from the book of Moulan Abul Hasan Ali Nadvi, he said The Muslim Ummah should be upholder of Justice even if it goes against it as it was exhibited by the elderly Islamic scholar during the British period when he gave witness in the court that the disputed land belongs to the Hindus. With such acts by the Muslims it looks that they are being defeated but he said with such acts only the Islam Wins. Today every where Muslims are being defeated but with every defeat Islam is winning the hearts of the common people.  

He expressed his anguish over the fact that we are not practicing Muslims. He called upon the people to make your homes Islamic. This is possible, he said by imparting Islamic education to women. Giving an example of Imam Shafai`s mother, he said she was not happy when her son returned with worldly bounties after completing his education on Hadees, she preached her son to donate whatever he brought. When she saw that her son has kept 10 dirham with him for dinner, she asked do you have faith in this money not in Allah DWT. He also quoted an example of Rabiya Basri.

He called upon the people to become obey the teachings of Prophet Muahmmed PBUH if you are lovers of him. He said we love our ancestors as they loved and practiced Prophet(s).

The program was started with the recitation of Holy Quran by Moulana Muhammed Siraj ul Hasan Jewargi. Jb Mohammed Yousuf Kanni delivered inaugural address. Br Mohammed Bilal, Member SIO from Basavakalyan and Moulan Mazharullah Qasmi Asst Zonal Organizer Hassa sang Naat to the delight of the audience.  

Aim of Islamic Movements : Umma should become a Unit (Ummate e Wahida)

Addressing the huge gathering of the Comapnions (R), Prophet Mumahhed PBUH adised the Umma (the Muslim Community worldwide) towards two things. One to knit yourself in the bond of brotherhood and the other to hold fast to Quran and Sunna, you will be on right path. This message of Prophet Muhammed PBUM him was meant not only for those who were present there but also to all those who were not present there and also to all those who born later till the last day comes. The Muslims though in huge numbers in the word are subjected to all sorts of exploitation and deprivation and are being targeted as they have lost their weight.  Thus need of the hour is The Umma should show strength of Unity. These were the words expressed by Moulana Muhammaed Yousuf Islahi while addressing the Ulema of Gulbarga and Jamaat associated at a function organized by Gulbarga unit of Jamaat e Islami Hind at Naaz Function hall on Thursday the 16^th Feb 2012.

Continuing his address he said we have committed a great mistake in history by depriving the farer sex which constitutes half of the Muslim population  with the knowledge of Deen. It was the effort of Islamic movement with establishment of Jamiatu salihat at Rampur for women, the schools Islamic learning are being established by different sects.

The contribution of great personalities like Hasan ul Banna Shaeed, with whose efforts the Islamic movements came into existence for the Establishment of Allahs deen, was killed by the evil at the tender age of 30. Another great personality from Mewat in Uttarparadesh started his movement in the hard prone area by calling people towards deen , as  result we see his followers in every country. And then comes Moulana Moudoodi, who huge literature spread all over the world in translated form brought in great revolution in thinking of young Muslims which paved the way towards establishment of Word of Allah. Moulan Yousuf Islahi said we respect all these great men and said we pray for the success to all those who follow these great leaders. Everyone has his own way of thinking. The basis of one’s thinking should be Quran and Sunna, and after that one can find his path based on Ijtehad (One`s Solution for an issue in hand). The ijtehad may differ from person to person. There may be chances of mistakes in it. However they will get double reward.

Speaking on the Importance of Unity of Umma, Moulana said, because of non existence of Unity there are problems like the issue of Phalastine. He said Islamic Movements came into existence for very purpose of Unity of Umma based on Quran and Sunna so that the whole community gets strength fight against the evil, shirk, elhad. The evil do not see you to which sect or organization you belongs, for it you are a Muslim, and just because of that you are on target. Explaining the meaning of Unity (Etehad)  he said Unity is not that you merge yourself with other but Unity is that by being to your sect, you respect others so that you become one Jamaat.

Commenting on the status of education of Muslim Umma based on Sachar Committee report, he said among those who get education, 96% goes to school and colleges and only 4% goes to madarsas. Among those madarsa goers only 20% carry on for higher education. He said Ulema constitute only 0.6% of Muslim population. Unfortunately fear has been created about these very Madarsa goers by the Batil.

Commenting on the establishment of Madarsa for women in Rampur UP, he said about 3000 girls are being imparted Islamic education and about 60-70 girls are being graduated every year as Alima Fazila. He said with great satisfaction that there is no country in the world  where you do not find the almni of this school as preachers of Islam.

The program was started with the recitation of verses from Holy Quran by Moulan Muhammed Siraj ul Hasan Umri. Moulana Najmuddin Hussain Umri, Asst Organizer, Majlis ul Ulema Tahreek e Islami Karnataka, delivered inaugural address.

Hidayath Center Gulbarga.. an appeal

Humanity has always been in need of divine guidance. Fortunate are those who have realizes this fact. To remain grateful and steadfast, it is essential for them to invite other ignorant people towards this divine path. It is an honest responsibility as well. This sense remained subdued among Muslims during past few centuries. But by the grace of Almighty Allah, since few years, it is developing among them and so the efforts are being made at different levels.

It is the same awakening that has resulted in the establishment of Hidayath Charitable and Educational Trust, Gulbarga. To introduce divine guidance to the ignorant and to prepare Muslims for this noble cause are the two primary objectives of this trust. The other purposes are to work on the status of Muslims in the field of education, economy and public health.

Gulbarga, a historic city of Hyderabad Karnataka region, with a blend of traditionalism and modernism, is emerging as a major educational hub. The establishment of Central University has boosted its image which already has a State University in the name of Gulbarga University. It has Five Medical Colleges, four Engineering Colleges, a number of dental, nursing, educational and degree colleges and schools.  A large number of people from different states visit this religious, educational, business and tourist city. As such, there is a great opportunity to introduce the Divine message to them.

Hidayath Trust, established in the year 2004, has gradually moved towards its objectives. To discharge its activities it was strongly felt that it should have its most modern Dawah and Social Service center to fulfill the needs of the city specific and the region in general. For this a prime land of 7200 sq ft in the heart of the city near New Bus Stand at Sangtrashwadi was purchased in an approved layout beside GDA and  the construction of four storey building started in the name of Hidayath Center.

Hidayath Center is planned to include the following:

Islamic Information Center:  where in fellow citizens of all faiths are expected to get use of it to acquire the knowledge and message of Islam through Islamic Literature, CDs on Holy Quran, Hadees, Biography of Prophet Mohammed PBUH, in different languages of the region. There would be provision for interaction with them.

Library:  Books serving the needs of professional students of Medicine, Engineering, and Management etc will be made available.

Conference Hall: To conduct seminars, symposia and meetings, public meetings a conference hall with amenities is included in the building.

Book Stall:  Apart from display and reading, books will be made available for sale to help people to understand the Divine message.

Mosque:  Mosque with separate ladies prayer hall to accommodate 250 men and similar number of women is to be part of the building. A part time Maktab for kids, to learn Quran and Islamic teachings will also be established.

An Appeal:

The estimated cost of the project is around 2.00 Crores, which indeed is not a big amount, if the righteous people wherever they be from come forward with big hearted contributions.

The people especially from Gulbarga and its neighborhood are expected to contribute generously so that the most modern Islamic Information Center is established in the city at the earliest.
