Title :
   Hyderabadi Muslims Today

Hyderabadi Muslims Today

By: Suleman Daud Khan

 
In all earnestness and humility it wont be out of place to mention that I am no Scholar of Deen . I am still student learning  from  highly placed imminent scholars of Deen and through my Studies In Shan Allah I remain student. Please correct me is there is an errors in my Articles thanks.

Currently in Hyderabad in particular and other places it is observed that girls are comparatively more qualified in fields of Medicine, Engineering, Computer Sciences etc as compared to boys. Boys from NRI families spend more time in late night gossip, fun, driving 2 wheelers, 4 wheelers, with noisy high speed (many are so young without license). If this generation neglect education what would be the fate of coming generation.

5th Jan 2014 TOI report, only 10% students have access to higher education in the country Tribes and dalits fare the worst 1.8% having any higher education similarly only2.1% a Muslims and nearly 2% of rural population is able to go for further learning opportunities.

The other dim Area among NRI families spending hard earned money in restaurants, Luxuries, Vehicles etc. The serious issue is the wedding where lacks of rupees spending in expensive wedding halls with much undesirable decoration, 15 or more varieties of dishes of Food in dinners. It is observed that the investments are towards land, properties and gold.

These are dead assets contributing nothing to community and just partially to the country in revenues.

The option lies in expert opinion of entrepreneurship. Among the wealthy lot spend in corers for building homes. In all these cases it is an issue of status, ego to unwanted competition of undesirable display and exhibition of wealth.

Tragically the other side thousands of poor girls are un married. Imagine if a small portion of this wealth would suffice to solemnize wedding in many poor families and educating deserving students.

Another significant area is madras’s which are looked up on suspiciously for their alleged misuse.

Here I would refer to an Article by Mr. Swaminathan Aiyer in  TOI dated. 4th Jan  Sunday 2009. It is    thought provoking, informative, educative ,enlightening and inspiring.

“ The Madrasas viewed with suspicion. But the ancient madrasas of Samar Khand, Bukhara and Khiva were simultaneously built centers.  A learning not of terrorism. They were not schools. They were” simultaneously religion seminaries and great universities teaching and studying  mathematics, medicines, astronomy and all sciences.

Ulugh Beg ruler of central Asia of Tamerlane land built these madrasas. He was the greatest astronomer of his time famous for his star charts and astronomical calculations. He nurtured an entire cadre of scientists and astronomers, at his observatory in Samar Khand the world’s finest at that time.

Omar Khayyam is best known as  a poet and wrote  the famous Rubayat.  But he was also scientist philosopher of samar khaned. Central  Asia was world centre of learning for centuries Khira was birth place of Mohammed Al  Khorezmi (780-850) the father of Algebra. The word algebra is derived from al-jabar one of al-Khorezmis technique  use to solvew quadratic  equatims. He also pioneered the use of decimal point. Ibn – Sina known in West as Avicenna was among the  foremost medical authorities of his time apart from being a philosopher and historian. He studied and taught at the madarsas of Bukhara and Khiva. This holds lessons for India.

Let the new madrasas be religious seminaries as well as universities as in ancient Samarkand and Bukhara. Rather than stress only madrasas modernization let us take madrasas centuries back in history of their glorious tradition of the Islamic Golden age. That may be more successful in winning Muslim harts and minds.

Strangely  Alama Iqbal about one century back referred madrasas in the couplet as follows:

“Gala Tu Ghot Diya Ahle Madrasa Ne Tera

  Kahan se Aeygi Sadaae Laillaha Illalah”

In general among the Community there is an attitude of indifference to remain isolated. Apparently it may be lack of moderation.

Different Schools a thoughts get so stubborn, reluctant and adamant with their school of thought do not just politely disagree but get into undesirable arguments leading to prejudices at times violent landing in animosity. The revelation is clear hold Allah’s rope firmly and do not get divided in to sects.

It is unfortunate that Ummah appears to forget that our beloved Rasool SWS for 12 years in row suffered heavily in Mecca Mauzama physically, mentally and financially with his Ashabs with three years boycott in particular.

During this painful time he strove hard to unite all tribes. Then migration to Madina Munawara the unity among the tribes was exemplary. In a short period battle of Badr followed.

  Commentary by Abdullah Yousuf Ali.

  Sura Rum Ayat  8 Commontary 3508.

The battle of Badr was real time of rejoicing for the Believers and time of disillusionment for the arrogant Quraish.

During the period in Mecca the Ashabs who had implicit faith to obey Allah and follow Rasool SWS in words and high spirits, resistance against all odds, high moral characters and above all total unity, the victory was granted at battle of Badr a few  hundred against a thousand .

The treaty of Hudaibia which apparently was total surrender was as revealed in “Sura Fateh” in sipara 26 verily we have granted thee a manifest victory “. Both life in Macca and later treaty of Hudaibia  retlect urge for unity, politic (Masalihat), moderation (Wasatiyyah), Politics economics, sociology and other professions have place in Deen it one believes he / she is be accounted for piety or evil actions by Almighty

Sura Al-Baqara verse 43 (Partial ) commentary by Yusuf Al – Qaradevi and Zohaili “Deviation from path of moderation bring  mo nothing but destruction and loss”.

“Islam advocates virtues (moderation) not only among Muslim but also in relation with other communities and nation”.

“It is obligation of Ummah to protect women from excesses of Muslim juristic legacy of the past and the modern west. “

My eldest son Oves khan once told as Allah guided him why one is building homes and properties which are temporary which  have to be left behind. Why one does not through his pious deeds and serving human race build home for hereafter which is permanent.”

Many of the revelations in the Holy Quran refer to signs to ponder and probes, Einstein said whenever my knowledge failed my faith strengthen.  

 Sura Furqan Ayat 43” Seest thou such a one as taketh for his god his own   

 passion or impulse, could thee be disposer of  affairs for him.

One has to be cautious to avoid to follow one’s whims and wishful thinking.

B.   Sura  Takathur or piling up.

       Ayat – 1.  The mutual rivalary for  piling up (good things of the world ) deviate you (from the more serious things)  until ye visit the grave.

      But –may ye soon shall know (reality) again.

Spire 26 Sura Hujurat or Jnner apartments Ayat – 15. Only those are believes who have belived in God and His Apostle and have never since doubted but have striven with their belongings and their persons in the cause of God such are the sincere ones”.

When I was in SSC in 1953 our Teacher use to tell us to remember the couplet

“Kidmate Khuda Wo Khalaq Hai Nishate Zindagi Es Maay Apna Jan Wo Maal Shawq Se Lagaeja” serving God and Thou Creations lie happiness in life strive with your belongings and your person in the cause of God.

However charity is what one intends and God is all knowing about it.

In the Modern world Charity has motive. Take examples of Corporate and Multinationals. Their Charity has the element of building Brand name.

There are two celebrations a year. Eid-Ul-Fiter  and Eid-Ul – Zuha. Any other celeberations under any pretext have no relevance to Deen.  Our beloved Rasool SWS was opposed to similarity.  Conventions, traditions, customs have no place in Deen.

What I am afraid  has  Dawah an element of convention and tradition? Dawah has to be exemplary through action and not merely conveying the message, as I see.

Muslims need to join main stream and with their exemplary behavior following revelation  and preaching of Rasool SWS that could  influence in wining hearts and minds of the members of other community.

Alama Iqbal expressed it in a couplet.

          

“ Nigah  Aur  Shauq Muslman Nahi Tu Kuch Bhi Nahi

  Zaban Se Kaih Diya La Illah Illalah Tu Kya Hasil.”

If one’s sight and fond are not as a Muslim then it is nothing but just verbally reciting Kalima then what one can gain.

  Commentary by Abdullah Yousuf Ali.

  Sura Rum Ayat  8 Commontary 3508.

Dr. Bilal Philips

  Islam is not about we are better than you, Islam is about let me show you something that is better for you.

How Islam can be religion of terror when our greeting is the greeting of peace.

The  Holy Quran reveals clearly to killing  one innocent human equals to killing human race.

With  my above submissions I would humbly urge the institutions, Organizations, different Schools of thoughts to come together irrespective  of their differences  to strive to awaken the Ummah to bring back the glorious period – the golden age of Islam as it during the period of Rasool SWS that followed till sixth century.

Aafter my graduation in B.Sc from Pune University, I did my Diploma in Textile Manufacture in Bhavsinji Polytechnic Bhavnager Saurashtra.

I received his Exellency Mehdi Nawaz Jung Governor  of Gujerat as General Secretary. During Dinner one of the Principal asked him your Excellency what is your Qualification.

He politely but emphatically replied I am fully educated but not qualified as you are. He then explained qualification is an opening career while education & faculty to judge right from wrong good from evil. He then explained qualification is an opening for a career while education is a faculty to judge right from wrong good from evil. The need is to educate Ummah in the same line.

I pray in humility Allah Alone guide me in particular and Umrah in general to earn thou pleasure here and hereafter.

I am aware institutions / Organizations / individual  in  America, Canada, Europe, Asia, Gulf and India are taking efforts to awaken Ummah however as I mentioned above the need of the hour is on priority basis if I can say so.

Please join me in my prayers  “Ya Mukulebal Kuloob Sabit Kalabi Ala Taate Dinika Wa Ala Itabai Rasoolika”

Change my heart and mind towards Deen to remained consistent and steadfast and follow Sunnah of Rasool SWS. Allah alone has power to change hearts and mind.

Human tendency is to rely on their children assets, influential contact and outward sources which are granted by him Him rather than relying on Allah Alone All Powerful with treasures and bounties unlimited at His Disposal . This tendency among to Shirk – Fi - Tawakal

Al ama Iqbal initiated in couplet “Wakte Fursat Hai Kahan Kaam Abhi Baqi Hai

Deenay Tawheed  Ka Atmam Abhi Baqi Hai:

In Sha Allah Ummah complete his mission to rediscover Islam.
