Progress Towards Implementation of Proposals After Inter-Community Conference, Public Meeting at Tanzeem Milliya Mosque, Religious Scholars Emphasize Practical Steps for Social Reform, Special Addresses on Religious Training of Generations and Life’s Purpose

BHATKAL (Fikrokhabar News) – An important public meeting was organized by Majlis-e-Islah wa Tanzeem under the title “Social Reform and Development of Society and Our Responsibilities” today after Isha prayers at Tanzeem Milliya Mosque regarding the practical implementation of proposals approved in the fifth inter-community conference held last month. Ulama, intellectuals, and officials from various Jamats participated and advised on the formation of a righteous society and living life with a sense of responsibility.

While explaining the purpose and objective of the program, Convener Mr. Ateeq-ur-Rahman Muniri said that creating unity by setting aside differences and removing our weaknesses through self-accountability is the identity of living nations. He said that conferences become successful only when serious efforts are made to implement their proposals practically and the public fully cooperates with the officials. He reminded that the inter-community conference held after a gap of fifteen years consisted of three days in which representatives from 42 institutions and jamats participated in sessions.

General Secretary of Majlis-e-Islah wa Tanzeem, Moulana Abdul Raqeeb MJ Nadvi, presented the political, social, and educational proposals approved in the conference and emphasized the need for concrete measures for their implementation.

Chied Qazi Khalifa Jamaat-ul-Muslimeen Bhatkal, Maulana Khwaja Moinuddin Nadvi Madani, said in his address that the real purpose of conferences and gatherings is social reform, but real success is achieved when their message is implemented in practical life. While explaining the importance of struggle and sincerity in the light of the Holy Quran, he said that Allah Almighty opens paths for sincere efforts. Maulana, referring to Hazrat Maulana Ali Mian Nadvi, termed Bhatkal as “Bait-ul-Kul” (House of All) and said that this city has its unique culture and adapting to its atmosphere is its specialty. He emphasized that the beginning of reform should be from one’s own self.

Imam and Khateeb of Jama Masjid Bhatkal, Maulana Abdul Aleem Nadvi, said that as long as the purpose of life remains in focus, the nation will remain on the right path, and deviation occurs due to the lack of a sense of accountability. He termed distance from Shariah and worldliness as the basic reason for current problems and emphasized concern for keeping the younger generation connected to religion.

Qazi of Jamaat-ul-Muslimeen Bhatkal, Maulana Abdul Rab Nadvi, while explaining the importance of protection of bodily organs and moral purity, said that human eyes, ears, and other organs affect the heart, therefore it is necessary to protect them from disobedience to Allah. He advised to adopt simplicity in marriages and other ceremonies and to keep in view the accountability of the Hereafter.

Principal of Jamia Islamia, Maulana Maqbool Ahmed Kobatte Nadvi, while performing the duties of moderation, emphasized the need for practical implementation of proposals and termed the upcoming month of Ramadan as the best opportunity to strengthen reform and connection with Allah.

President of Majlis Islah Wa Tanzeem, Mr. Inayatullah Shabandri, while emphasizing the need to become a responsible citizen, drew attention to driving vehicles without licenses and other social irregularities.

The program began with recitation and translation by Maulvi Muhammad Shoaib Shahbandri Nadvi, while a Naat was presented by Maulvi Umair Siddi Bappa Nadvi. The anthem of the inter-community conference was presented by Maulvi Zafaif Shingiri Nadvi in his unique style. The meeting concluded with words of thanks from Deputy Convener Mr. Mohiuddin Altaf Kharuri and prayers by President of Jamia Islamia Bhatkal, Maulana Abdul Aleem Qasmi.
