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.

Follow Religion to Eradicate Corruption

Greed is the main reason behind rising incidents of corruption and the only way to eradicate it is turning towards the teachings of religion. These were the words expressed by Jb Mohammed Yousuf Kanni while presiding over the symposium organized by Jamaat e Islami Hind Gulbarga on Sunday the 18^th December 2011 at Rangmandir, Gulbarga. He said, our elders strived to make us independent from the British to liberate the citizens from the menace of corruption. In fact our first Prime Minister in his first address to the nation expressed the need to remove corruption and to eradicate it one has to punish the guilty by hanging on the electric pole. Unfortunately even after so many years we see no such punishment given to anybody. He said though ours is a religious country consisting of over 3lakh mosques, 25lakh temples, and many more other places of worship, the country is faced with numerable evils. The reason behind all these we have forgotten the teachings of religions and are not obeying them.

Shri B.H.Bajantri, Practicing Advocate and Principal (Rtd), Milind PU College, was worried with the increasing incidents of corruption which has engulfed all fields of human activity. To eradicate it we have to properly educate people and the younger and develop cultured manners. And make people aware of law and its punishments for crime.

Mr Maheshwar Gouda, Inspector, Karnataka Lokayukta, Gulbarga called upon people to utilize the Right to Information Act to eradicate corruption. 

Jb Mohammed Ishaq, Chartered Accountant and Vice President of JIH Mangalore speaking in flourishing Kannada  said the very people enact law and implement it are involved in different modes of corruption. The human beings have lost values. To eradicate all sorts of evils including corruption from our society everyone has to know his position in this world. One has to ask himself, who is he, from where has he come, what is the purpose life, who is his creator, what is his relation with his creator etc.

Sajjada Nasheen of Darga Hazrat Murtuza Qadri, Hanumsagar, Baglakote Dist called upon the people to fear God. He expressed his deep regrets for the fact that the very educated and cultured people are involved in corruption. He said it has become a way of life today. It looks that our elected corrupt representatives are making statements that imagine about our people who have elected us. He said it is time that one should understand his religion and obey its commandments. He said all these evils have entered in different field of human relations when we separated religion from politics.

  

Dr Basavaraj Kumnoor, Principal, Dr Ambedkar Arts and Commerce College, Gulbarga explained the definition of corruption with number of examples and modus of operandi involved in it. He also said that the main reasons for all sorts of evil are the deviation from the path of religion. One has to commit himself that he earns his livelihood with hard work.
