Varied Bakr-Eid Celebration 2012
The Bakr-Eid Celebration began by
members of Kerala Muslim Welfare Association, Delhi in a varied manner. Following the footsteps of Prophet Mohammed(PBUH),
who insisted on going as far as China from Arabia for seeking knowledge, the
members of the Association were in the Bengali Market Masjid today beginning
their Bakr-Eid Celebrations by distributing text books of Maths, English and
Science for the students of Madrassa running there. Sweets were also distributed to these 60
children of different ages from 8 to 16 years old living there.
The Association has been into the
effort of qualitatively improving Madrassa education for this institution since
more than 4 years by imparting knowledge of Maths, Science and English for its
students who get religious education alone from Madrassa. The primary education which has not been
there even in the remotest dreams of these students were having a great feeling
on opening the world of alphabets, numbers and the amazing science & social
science before them. Using the potential of committed students belonging to
JNU, Jamia and Delhi Universities, the program of imparting education to these
students continued uninterrupted on all Sundays except during the month of Ramzan
when the Madrassa remains closed and the students go on vacation to their
distant native places in the districts of the States of Bihar, Madhya Pradesh,
Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, West Bengal etc.
Though some of these students had got
opportunity to study in schools for very brief spells of less than a couple of
years before their enrolling in the Madrassa, there were also children who have
not even heard about school system of education. The association, though not expecting much
improvement by imparting the basic education to these hapless children, the
hopes are as high that at least the next generation of these children will be
sent to schools to get worldly education
along with religious education.
Getting success and satisfaction by
imparting education to these less privileged children, the Association is going
to extend same facility to the students of yet another Madrassa in Adchini area
near JNU from the first week of November 2012.
It is an effort to show the light of
education and thereby uplifting the educationally downtrodden sections of the
society as has already been done as a role model in Kerala among the Muslim
community.
KK Basheer, President along with
members of the Association distributed sweets and text books to the students and
wished everyone a very Happy and Pious Bakr-Eid. Mohammed
Ali, Saleel Chembayil, Syed Ali, KV Hamza & Althaf also participated in the
program.
