Corner meetings marked the beginning of Campaign in Gulbarga

As part of the state wide campaign “Towards Evil Free Society” a number of corner meetings have been organized in different parts of the city. The message of the campaign was conveyed. The speakers spoke either in Urdu or Kannada depending upon the locality. A large number of the general public gathered and many more from their shops, residents heard the message.

It was conveyed to them that the society by and large has engulfed in number of evils like drinking of liquors, taking and giving of interest based loans, foul spending, lavish life style, greed, violence, injustice, oppression, discrimination, dishonesty, deception, duplicity, adulteration,  black marketing, and other such unhealthy practices to earn money in short time.

Corruption is issue being talked about intensively now days. It has engulfed the society from the village to the Capital of the country. No work can be extracted without pondering penny. As a result huge money is being transferred to a few lots who are enjoying the luxuries of the world. Where as a huge population is even divide of basic needs.

To eradicate all evils including corruption it is must that man should know his status in this world. He should know that he is accountable to the Almighty Allah the creator of all. The day will come we are presented to the all powerful Almighty. The life in this world is not permanent; instead it is an examination period where we are tested to whether we are obeying the commandments of the creator.

For this one should think of himself first. Self assessment is the beginning to change the society towards right path. Everyone should be determined to cleanse his life before sets out to put society in order.

Secondly, Evil grows only when people remain silent spectators. Therefore it is the duty of the people with good sense to raise their voice and declare their intentions against evil and organize themselves to eradicate it.

Thirdly, a common minimum program has to be initiated with likeminded people from all communities to fight against evil in the society.

And finally, Only law cannot change the society. The root problem is lack of God consciousness, sense of accountability to God and indifference to divine injunctions brought to us by the prophets to govern our life.

Just before death he was with family and had breakfast and read news paper. May Allah bless him with mercy and reward with best of places in Janna, forgive his misdeeds and accept all his services for the cause of establishment of Allah`s will.

Moulana was introduced to and was attached to Jamaat e Islami right from 1941. To join Jamaat he tried to resign from the services in Forest Dept. He served as the leader at local, District, Division and state president (1986-90). He was the member of Jamaat`s supreme policy making body Markazi Majlis e Shoora (Central Advisory Council) from 1980-90. He continued to be member of central elected body called Majlis e Numaendagan (House of representatives) .

He was known for courage, decision making, straight forwardness, hard work. His services at the riot torn state of Assam in the year 1983, inculcating the courage in the people affected by police action in the northern Karnataka in 1948 aftermath and counseling the affected people etc are commendable and  His efforts to work for harmony following the riots erupted after the publication of an article in Deccan Herald, with th support of many Ulema and intellectuals.

He was instrumental in establishing the institutions like Islamia Arabic College, Mansoora in Hassan District, publication of Kannada ViewsWeekly and jamaats organ “Sanmarga” and the Kannada Islamic Publication at Mnaglore called Shanti Prakashana.

The demise of Moulan rendered huge loss to the Jamaat Associates and the vacuum created by it is hard to be fulfilled.

Purification of Soul is a must for Reconstruction of Society

These were the words expressed by Jb Mohammed Abdullah Javid, President Jamaat e Islami Hind Karnataka, while addressing the huge gathering of Jamaat associated and well wishers from Gulbarga and Yadgir in a District Conference organized by Jamaat e Islami Hind at Mohammadi Garden Function Hall on Saturday the 26^th November 2011. He called upon them to convey the message to masses that Islam is the only way of life which gives solutions to all the problems faced by the humanity.

The program was started with the Quranic discourse by Jb Gulam Mahebeoob Khayat, President JIH Yadgir. Giving discourse on the verse 28 of Surah Alkahaf, he called upon the participants to be the companions of those who spend their day and night in pleasing the almighty Allah and see that they never deviate from this.

It is our duty to change the world instead of thinking of purifying himself. To pure one`s soul it is necessary to remember death and be attached with Quran.

Quran Pravachan at Sampigenagar Gulbarga

History is witness to the fact that there was never a time where in the man died the existence of God. He not only believed in the existence of God but also worshipped him in one form or the other. Due to his illogical thinking and knowledge he worshipped the one which had one or more powers. Islam gave the right concept of God. It called upon the people to obey and worship the one which has created you and the universe and not worship the ones you have created. These were the words expressed by Jb Mohammed Ziaullah, President JIH Gulbarga while delivering the Quranic discourse to the Non Muslim audience at Sampige nagar on Last Monday on the concluding day of the three day Quran Pravachan program organized by the local unit of Jamaat e Islami Hind. H said it is not the issued before the mankind that whether God existed or not, but the issue is whether we are accountable before God one day. He said Islam gave logical answer. The human beings with all their energies will not get the right justice in this world and the fact that ever on in this world is not righty rewarded. There has to be a day where in the guilty is punished to the crime he has committed and the righteous id suitably rewarded. This is the only belief which controls man from all sorts of misdeeds.

Delivering the Discourse on Towheed on the first day of program Jb Mohammed Abdul Qader explained the concept of unity of God in the light of Quran. He said Allah, the almighty is One and Unique, Who is in need of none and of Whom all are in need, He neither begot any nor was He begotten, and none is comparable to Him. And said Allah, the Everlasting, the Sustainer of the whole Universe; there is no god but He. He does neither slumber nor sleep. Whatsoever is in the heavens and in the earth is His. Who is there that can intercede with Him except by His own permission. He knows what is before the people and also what is hidden from them. And they cannot comprehend anything of His knowledge save whatever He Himself pleases to reveal. His Kingdom spreads over the heavens and the earth and the guarding of these does not weary Him. He alone is the Supreme and the Exalted.

On the second day He delivered on the concept of Prophethood and said the almighty has not allowed the mankind to wander in search of the path to be followed, instead he has made the arrangement of divine guidance right from the very beginning. He said the first man on earth Hazrath Aadam was the messenger of God. And from then onwards a number of prophets came to different people I different communities. Prophet Mohammed was the last prophet.

A large number of people including women participated on all the three days.

The Kannada version of Quran was given as gift to the dignitaries of the locality.

Responsible Youth for a Better Society: GIO Gulbarga Unit`s Program

If human beings understand the very purpose of their existence and lead their life to the pleasure of the Almighty, he will become a better person the society and the society consisting of such people will become the better society. These were the thoughts expressed by Mrs Sabiha Sultana, State Secretary, Girls Islamic Organization while addressing the huge gathering of girls college students and the youth women in a program organized by local unit of GIO at Kannada Bhavan on Sunday the 30^th October 2011. The program was organized as part of the three day state wide campaign on the central theme” Responsible Youth for a Better Society”. The program was also attended by compatriot sisters. Continuing her speech she said the society is full of evils, whether it is in the form of exhibition of women as show peace in the market, imitation of western culture, spreading of nudity through dominance of TV & mobile, inhumanity, immorality, are some of the effects which are being seen as the man has forgotten his creator, the relationship with him and his responsibilities as human being in the society. In fact the Almighty Allah has created human beings for his ibadah, subjugation before him and to follow his commandments. Unfortunately we are hardly seeing the noble characters of humanity, instead women have been deprived of their just rights. Islam has given women the supreme and noble position in the society. There is need to understand the teachings of Islam and the guidance from the creator for the reconstruction of society. The reconstruction of the society cannot be done without the participation of all and sundry. Therfore the youths should come forward to change the society.

Mrs Sajida Begum, The Chief Guest while addressing the gathering expressed her concern about the rise of evil things in the society by specifically pointing them out. She said dowry, imbalance between the rich and the poor, fashionable life style, differentiation between the girl and boys, corruption, immorality, degradation of values, materialism are the some of the issues to be addressed. She called upon the people to develop character. The home is the first school where a child learns the basics of humanity and later the teacher and the society moulds the personality.

Rajyogini Dr B.K.Ratna, Director, Brahmakumari Ashram, Shahabad call upon the youths to reconstruct the society based on divine guidance. The spirit in every being has to be addressed as it is made up of thoughts, customs and character. One should develop character. To achieve this she stressed upon to offer regular Namaz, Roza and Haj which purify our thoughts. With these things only one can achiev peace in one’s mind and thereof in the society.

The program commenced with the recitation of holy Quran by Syeda Aayesha and its Kannada translation by Firdouse Jabeen. Ms Aayesha Khanam, City President of GIO introduced GIO and explained about the objectives of organizing this state wide campaign. During the program Ms Firdouse Begum and Syeda Nousheen recited Islamic songs. The prizes were given to B. Jouys of Convent College, Jyoti of Vidya Vikas DEd Collge, Asra Jabeen of Al Habeeb DEd College, Shahzadi Sirajunnisa of Hameed Pyare BEd College and Salma Mushir of KCT DEd College.
