Varied Bakr-Eid Celebration

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.
