Anger is a negative emotion, but to feel a right anger and to the right degree and to the right person is a righteous action, Aristotle the Master of Metaphor, states. So we the Muslims, have a right to be rightly angry at the deliberate and malicious attempts of mocking the finest human being in the history of humanity. Such reprehensible acts cause immense pain to any right thinking person and not just to a Muslim. The sophistries attached to the misnomer called free speech will continue to be hurled at us, like before. The great game of double standards and worst hypocrisy played to the hilt by the West and its media will go on unabated. This is never going to stop. We must understand. As suggested by Aristotle expressing our right anger in the right way is vital in our fight against these deliberate provocations of maligning the Last Messenger, peace be upon him. Making violent protests is like playing right into the hands of our arch enemies, just as amusing a protest it is to ask, the followers of Muhammad (S.A.W.), to send him a gift of reciting Durood Shareef 5000 times a day! This conundrum of what is the right action to do in such a critical situation can be solved to an extent by our peaceful protests, and complete and strict boycotts of the goods produced by the very countries which promote such reprehensible acts, in the name of freedom. Hurt them where it hurts the most! The language of economics is after all the best language, to speak in, in this particular scenario. But what would definitely help may be coming together of all the Muslim countries and press for, forming a law against such crimes [be it a film, cartoons or essays or fiction], at the international level, on the lines of the law against anti-Semitism. Alas, the Western rhetoric of free speech sounds so hollow and empty, when it comes to this! This law should be made and be seen to be implemented strictly. If we cant do this much, then well, Allama Iqbal is always there to remind us, Kee Muhommad se wafaa tu ne toh hum tere hain Yeh jahan cheez hai kya lauh o qalam tere hain Rights are natural and must be guaranteed but my right for expression should not stomp upon your right to hold sacred what you think is right. The West should not expect the rest of us to be following in their footsteps where and as they demand. Recently one of my learned friends put it like this to his British colleague, Just because you dump your mothers in old age homes and feel proud of parading your wives semi naked, doesnt mean that we should be doing the same! The hour has approached for the West to realize that it is civilized an act to appreciate and respect the differences this humanity shares among itself, while still being in perfect harmony with each other and together. The hour is also for us the Muslims to be re presenting the noble teachings of Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him, through our characters, through our practices. Lets spread the word - the word of Islam, the word of peace as given to us by the one Messenger who was sent for the whole of humanity. A Muslim organization in London protested by way of gifting translations of the holy Quran and books of Seerah to people around them. A marvelous way of doing the work which my Prophet (S.A.W.) did for nearly 23 years, regardless of what came his way! The West till now has heard only our voice, now lets make them hear our word.

August 16th 2012. WHY??? We always tend to think that wise, smart and intelligent people are those who have money and are RICH. But wisdom, intelligence and cognizance are mostly found in poor or people who are not RICH. It's only the will of ALLAH, who gives money to whom He wills irrespective of a person being wise or foolish. So those who brag about their fortunes should be thankful to ALLAH and acknowledge those who are lesser privileged than them. IMAGE:
August 18th 2012. Tonight 2 of us and a Revert brother went to a Masjid with completely Air-conditioned ambiance (not an issue). Every attendee of that Masjid comes in branded car to attend lectures only in English (sounds good!!). People there speak only English and rarely converse in their mother tongue. (MashaAllah sounds more good). But when the Revert brother saw all that especially the part where attendees are only RICH section of society, he did not spare a single minute there and told us that he wanted to go to a place where he can really recall ALLAH, rather a place where his Nafs (self) gets effected. I applauded his piety and introspected myself. SubhanAllah!! In 1916, in Vienna, Austria, presented the king with his wife which, as the queen was - was entirely covered only by the fact that it is the queen and not have to be looked by any man. But this practice was originally started by Prophet Mohammed (peace be upon him) 1400 years ago on ALLAH's command to protect the

But if someone does good for this Ummah, those past-time commentpassers cannot stomach it and still point fingers at them calling the contributions to be of 'no use'. This clearly shows the ignorance and narrow-minded attitude. They talk about Unity in Ummah, but still they cannot even appreciate contributions of others.

Hajj ke dauran farayez pura karne ke sath sath Dil, kirdar, akhlaq, aqeedah durust karne ki kya itni koshis hoti he jitni honi chahie? aur agar itni koshis hoti to har sal 30 lakh Muslim hajj karte hain kya iska asar samaj me nahi zahir hota? aakhir itne bare majma ke ikattha hone ka Muslim ummah kya fayeda hasil kar pati he, Haj ada karne ke sath sath. kya har haji se liya gaya kuch raqam se duniya ke muslim ke halat nahi badal sakti? kya us paise se sabhi muslim ko talim yafta nahi banaya ja sakta. Muslims ka eiman he ki rizq Allah deta he, lekin is bat par kyon nahi gaur kiya jata ki Allah gair Muslim ke hathon bana saman kyon deta he.

In previous issues we have discussed Hisab and Mizan (Deeds Reckoning and its Weighing). The next stage is visiting of the nation of the prophet (pbuh) to Houd-eKauther (River / Pond /Lake / Fountain in Paradise). The successful nation will then visit to this river which was given to the last prophet (pbuh) as blessing. Its water is intensely white more than milk, more delightful than honey, its rim is like stars abundantly illuminating the sky; whoever drinks from it one time will never be thirsty again for all eternity. But be careful a group of the successful nation will be stopped here from drinking of this river. Who is he? Who is such unfortunate? Who is such foolish? He is Bidti (Innovator). Hazrat Ibn Masoud says Follow (Sunnah of the prophet) and dont innovate as Sunnah is enough for you. The Prophet (pbuh) said, "I am your predecessor at the Kauthar and some men amongst you will be brought to me, and when I will try to hand them some water, they will be pulled away from me by force whereupon I will say, 'O Lord, my companions!' Then the Almighty will say, 'You do not know what they did after you left, they introduced new things into the religion after you (Bukhari at the authority of Abdullah) Sahl bin Sa'd: said: I heard the Prophet saying, "I am your predecessor at the Kauthar, and whoever will come to it, will drink from it, and whoever will drink from it, will never become thirsty after that. There will come to me some people whom I know and they know me, and then a barrier will be set up between me and them." Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri added that the Prophet further said: "I will say those people are from me. It will be said, 'You do not know what changes and new things they did after you.' Then I will say, 'Far removed (from mercy), far removed (from mercy), those who changed (the religion) after me! " (Bukhari) Ibn Majah has related in this connection contains very pathetic words. The Holy Prophet said: "Beware! I shall have arrived at the Kauther before you and shall pride myself by your means upon the greater numbers of my nation as against other nations Do not at that time cause my face to be blackened. Beware: I shall have some people released, and some people shall be separated from me. I shall say: O my Lord, they are my companions. He will reply: Don't you know what innovations they introduced after you. According to Ibn Majah, these words were said by the Holy Prophet (pbuh) in his Sermon at Arafat. After reading and understanding the above will a wise Muslim dare to be close to Bida? Will he like to disrespect the prophet (pbuh)? This is so serious that even an action seems to be slight Bida will be set aside as the consequence is grave. There are many reporting on this subject in books of Hadith. Only few quoted. Since Bida is serious issue and many Muslim is confused of its real understanding, let us have a separate look on it in the next issue Insha Allah. to be continued, Allah willing.

only Lord. Thus, none can absolve himself of his responsibility on the plea that he was altogether ignorant, or transfer the blame for his error to the corrupt environment. However to put man to the test in this word the covenant has been removed from the conscious memory but is preserved in the subconscious mind. The primordial covenant is no different from other pieces of knowledge in man's sub-conscious mind. Whatever man has so far achieved in the way of culture and civilization can be attributed to his latent potentialities. All external factors and internal motivations simply account for helping the actualization of those potentialities. Neither education nor training nor environmental factors can bring out anything which is not potentially found in the human mind. Likewise, external factors have no power to root out man's latent potentialities. External factors may, at the most, cause a person to deflect from the course dictated by sound human nature. However, man's sound nature is inclined to resist the pressure of external forces and exert itself in order to find an outlet. This is not specific to man's religious propensity alone, but is equally true of all his mental potentialities. In this regard the following points are particularly noteworthy: 1) All man's potentialities exist in the sub-conscious mind and prove their existence when they manifest themselves in the form of human action. 2) The external manifestation of these potentialities requires external stimuli such as instruction, upbringing and attitudinal orientation. 3) Man's inner potentialities can be suppressed both by false urges within him as well as external influences but these potentialities cannot be totally rooted out. The same holds true of man's intuitive knowledge regarding his position in the universe and his relationship with his Creator. Man has always had such intuitive knowledge, which required external stimuli through Prophets and Divine Books. This is the reason Qur'an has been designated as mudhakkir (the reminder). The Prophets and Heavenly Books do not seek to provide human beings with something new, something that exists outside of them. Their task rather consists of bringing to the surface and rejuvenating what is latent, though dormant, in man himself. Forces of ignorance, lust, bigotry, and teachings of devils have always attempted to suppress, conceal, and distort the fact that the truth preached by the Prophets is embedded in man's soul. These attempts gave rise to polytheism, atheism, religious misdirection and moral corruption. Despite the efforts of the forces of falsehood, this knowledge has always had an imprint on the human heart. Hence, whenever any effort was made to revive that knowledge, it has proved successful. On the Day of Resurrection Allah will revive in man the memory of the covenant and will provide evidence that the covenant always remained imprinted on man's soul. Man will no longer be in a position to justify his false claims. In the words of the Qur'an: '...and they will bear witness against themselves that they had disbelieved' (al-An'am 6: 130). Interpretation ends. Finally, I have no hesitation to state that in spite of being blessed with desired human qualities by his Creator, a disbeliever is a rebellion of His Lord. A believer may be a wrongdoer, still, he can expect forgiveness from his Lord but a rebel convict cant. A disbeliever having good deeds in his record may get some respite in the intensity of punishment but he will never qualify for salvation and entry to paradise if he remained in disbelief till the end of his life.

Useful idiots
By S.G. Jilanee<sjila_104@hotmail.com> Attributed to Lenin, Useful Idiots (UI) was a derogatory remark about Soviet sympathizers in the West who supported the Soviet leadership blindly. Later it was extended to apply to people who act as propagandists for a cause whose goals they do not understand and support its leadership come what may. The useful idiots, for their part, claim their unflinching loyalty as proof of their lofty character. The sobriquet applies most perfectly to the Muslims of the Indian state of Bihar. These Bihari Muslims did not understand the goals of the All-India Muslim Leagues demand for a separate homeland for the Mussalmans of India.Yet, they went totally berserk in support of the cause. A glaring example was the president of the Bihar provincial Muslim League, Syed Abdul Aziz. He sold off his sprawling mansion and his mica mine to meet the expenses of hosting the twenty-sixth Session of the League in December 1938 at the provincial capital, Patna. Situated between the Exhibition and Fraser Roads and overlooking the vast Race Course ground, the compound of the building covered several acres of the choicest property in the city. A fabulous pandal was erected. Dazzling illumination turned night into day and a mass of people never seen before (or after) filled the vast race course ground. At the dais sat League President, Mohammad Ali Jinnah, in the centre with other top leaders of the party on either side. Granted, the event was a grand success; that it was historic. But did it have to be this way? The U.P. had a surfeit of nawabs of all sizes and dimensions. Punjab mushroomed with Maliks and Sardars. But none ever put up such show. Only the UI syndrome can explain this senseless waste of money because, obviously, Barrister Abdul Aziz did not clearly understand the real purpose of the cause he was supporting with such ardour. It was revealed when the Liaqat-Nehru Pact excluded Bihar from agreed areas with regard to compensation for abandoned properties. Nor was it a stray case of an individual. A collective display of the UI disease was exhibited by the Biharis who migrated to East Pakistan. Committed to Pakistan they believed that the West Pakistanis were its true saviours. Because they poke Urdu, they jumped with alacrity at the declaration that Urdu and Urdu alone would be Pakistans national language. Typically they shut their eyes to the reality around them and opposed the aspirations of the indigenous people. In 1954 the first anti-Bihari riots erupted at the Adamjee Jute Mills in Narayanganj as soon as the Jukta Frontgovernment was sworn in defeating the Muslim League. But the Biharis ignored the clear signal and went on with their lives merrily, smug in the belief that the West Pakistan will get them through. Their useful idiocy reached its apogee in 1971 when they allied with the Pakistan army in its crackdown against Bengalis. They enlisted in the Jamaat-e-Islamis marauding hordes of Al Shams, Al Badr, the armys razakar militia and the East Pakistan Civil Armed Force (EPCAF) hunting down the local people. When reckoning came, their mentors vanished leaving them behind to face the music, whose dreadful strains were spine-chilling. Biharis were driven out of their homes and packed off to ghettos, massacred in thousands regardless of gender or age, raped with abandon. Many were killed simply by draining off their blood with hypodermic syringes. At the railway junction of Santahar alone, the entire Bihari population of several thousand men women and children was totally wiped out. The Jamaat-e-Islami abandoned them. The army disowned them. Opposition to their repatriation and rehabilitation in Pakistan was so intense that philanthropists, such as Ahmad E.H. Jaffer and Lord Ennals, as well as the Motamar-e-Alam-e-Islami had to give up efforts to collect funds for the purpose. But, despite the miserable life in the relief camps in Bangladesh, the Biharis went on to unfurl Pakistan flag on 23 March and 14 August. Many have since died. Yet, as true symbols of Useful Idiots, the few that are still living, have their faith unshaken in the fantasy that they will one day be going home to Pakistan.

Virtues of the Day of Sacrifice, Characteristics of Udhiya, and Days of Udhiya (Sacrifice)
The sacrificial camels we have made for you as among the symbols from Allah: in them is (much) good for you: then pronounce the name of Allah over them as they line up (for sacrifice): when they are down on their sides (after slaughter), eat ye thereof, and feed such as (beg not but) live in contentment, and such as beg with due humility: thus have We made animals subject to you, that ye may be grateful. It is not their meat nor their blood, that reaches Allah: it is your piety that reaches Him: He has thus made them subject to you, that ye may glorify Allah for His Guidance to you and proclaim the good news to all who do right. [Quran, 22:36-7] Part-1: Virtues of the Day of Sacrifice When the Prophet (SallallahoAlaiheWasallam) came to Madina, he found that they had two days on which they used to play. He said, Allaah has given you two days better than these, the day of al-Fitr and the day of al-Adha. [Abu Dawood, 1134; classed as saheeh by al-Albaani]. In this world the believers have three festivals or Eids: One Eid which is repeated every week is Friday (Jumuah), and the two other Eids which come once a year: 1. Eid al-Fitr: the breaking of the Ramadaan fast. This comes upon the completion of the month of Ramadaan, which is the third pillar of Islam. When the Muslims have finished fasting the month that is enjoined upon them, Allaah has prescribed that they celebrate a festival on which they gather to thank Allaah, remember Him and glorify Him for His guidance. 2. Eid al-Adha (the Feast of Sacrifice), on 10th day of Dhul-Hijjah. This is the greater of the two feasts, which comes after the completion of Hajj, for when the Muslims complete their Hajj they are forgiven. The day of Arafah is the day of ransom from the Fire, when Allah ransoms from Hellfire those who stood at Arafah and Muslims who did not stand at Arafah. Hence the day that follows is a festival for all Muslims, those who attended Hajj and those who did not. It is prescribed for all of them to draw closer to Allaah by this ritual of shedding the sacrificial blood. (SallallahoAlaiheWasallam) said: All of Mina is the place of sacrifice, and all the days of al-tashreeq are days of sacrifice. [al-Albaani in al-Silsilah al-Saheehah, 2476] Time of Sacrifice: It is permissible to offer the sacrifice during any time by night or by day, but it is better during the day, and the day of Eid after the khutbah is the best time. Each day is better than the following day, because that means hastening to do good. [Ibn Uthaymeen in Ahkaam al-Udhiyah]

37th Awards Ceremony @ RAHBAR Coaching Centre, Patna on 23rd September 2012, at Najam High School, Phulwari Sharif: Chief Guests on the occasion was JanabNajmul Hassan Najmi Sb., Managing Director Najam Foundation.. Special invitees on the occasion were JanabEr. Shahid Amin Sb, Mr.Santosh Kumar, Teacher, Mr.Arun Kumar, Teacher, and JanabJameelMazhariSb, Manager BA. Zameer, a student of class 10th at RCC Patna recited the holy Quran before commencement of proceedings. First of all Md. JameelMazhari told the audience that this the 37th Award Ceremony of Patna Chapter. This is the first award ceremony which we have organized the most in the absence of most important person, our guardian Enam Khan Sb. Mr.Jameel said that you will be very to know that Enam Khan Sb. has gone for HAJJ. We should make dua for him that he and his companions will be return with their good health, eiman and like a new born baby who has no Gunah on him. After that JanabNajmulHasanNajmiSb talked to students very politely on many small but important points. However, he alarmed the students that if their performance does not improve, it would mean that they come there only for passing time. If that be the case, they might be spoiling the chance of other s i n c e r e students who could benefit from this free coaching, and achieve their goals as well as the objective of Bihar Anjuman and sponsors. He warned that in such cases, we would be forced to strike of the names of students who are not interested in their studies. He put forward many examples before the students of success of hard-working students, to convince them easily. Later, Er.Shahid Amin Sb. talked about the syllabus of the RCC students. He urged the students of class Xth to set their eyes on the competitive exams, and prepare accordingly. He said that if they have to clear any competitive exams, they have to study all their lessons deeply, and try to gain a good understanding. He added that although the questions will be from these lessons, they would try to test real understanding of the topics rather than seeking straightforward answers. He suggested t h em t o purchase guides and question banks of previous exams. The ceremony concluded at 1:00 p.m. with dua o f JanabNajmulH asanNajmi Sb. Bakhabar

Your coaching authorities have given me the good chance to distribute the awards. It is really a good fate for me because I am visiting this centre for the first time. It is an era of competition and those how works hard achieve success. I have not got the chance to visit your classes but I think you have been working hard for a long time. Otherwise, how so many students have been awarded! If I would get another chance to come here, then, I will most certainly try to know the details. I pray to Allah to help you prosper in your studies further. I request your teachers and as well as your coaching authorities to provide special guidance.

Dr. BISHAMBHAR NATH PANDES VIEW The late scholar & historian, Dr.Bishambhar Nath Pandes research efforts exploded myths on Aurangzebs rule. They also offer an excellent example of what history has to teach us if only we study it dispassionately. Mr. Pande was ranked among the very few Indians & very fewer still Hindu historians who tried to be a little careful when dealing with such history. He knew that this history was originally compiled by European writers whose main objective was to produce a history that would serve their policy of divide & rule. In his famous Khuda Bakhsh Annual Lecture (1985) Dr. Pande said: Thus under a definite policy the Indian history text books were so falsified & distorted as to give an impression that the medieval (i.e., Muslim) period of Indian history was full of atrocities committed by Muslim rulers on their Hindu subjects & the Hindus had to suffer terrible indignities under Muslim rule and there were no common factors (between Hindus & Muslims) in social, political & economic life. Therefore, Dr.Pande was extra careful. Whenever he came across a fact that looked odd to him, he would try to check & verify rather than adopt it uncritically. He came across a history text book taught in the Anglo-Bengali College, Allahabad, which claimed that three thousand Brahmins had committed suicide as Tipu wanted to convert them forcibly into the fold of Islam. The author was a very famous scholar, Dr.Har Prasad Shastri, head of the department of Sanskrit at Kolkata University. (Tipu Sultan (1750-99), who ruled over the South Indian state of Mysore (1782-99), is one of the most heroic figures in Indian history. He died on the battle field, fighting the British.) Was it true? Dr. Pande wrote immediately to the author & asked him for the source on which he had based this episode in his text-book. After several reminders, Dr. Shastri replied that he had taken this information from the Mysore gazetteer. So Dr. Pande requested the Mysore university vice- chancellor, Sir Brijendra Nath Seal, to verify for him Dr. Shastris statement from the gazetteer. Sir Brijendra referred his letter to Prof. Srikantia who was then working on a new edition of the gazetteer. Srikantia wrote to say that the gazetteer mentioned no such incident and, as a historian himself, he was certain that nothing like this had taken place. Prof. Srikantia added that both the prime minister & commander-in-chief of Tipu Sultan were themselves Brahmins. He also enclosed a list of 136 Hindu temples which used to receive annual grants from the sultans treasury. It inspired that Shastri had lifted this story from Colonel Miles, History of Mysore, which Miles claimed he had taken from a Persian manuscript in the personal library of Queen Victoria. When Dr. Pande checked further, he found that no such manuscript existed in Queen Victorias library. FALSE HISTORY PROVIDED BY BRITISHERS British historian Sir Henry Elliot remarked that Hindus had not left any account which could unable us to gauge the traumatic impact the Muslim conquest and rule had on them? Since there was none, Elliot went on to produce his own eight-volume history of India with contributions from British historians (1867). His history claimed Hindus were slain for disputing with Mohammedans, generally prohibited from worshipping and taking out religious processions , their idols were mutilated , their temples were destroyed , they were forced into conversion & marriages , & were killed & massacred by drunk Muslim tyrants. Thus Sir Henry, & scores of other empire scholars, went on to produce a synthetic Hindu verses Muslim history of India, & their lies became a history.

Remembrance of Ibrahim Alaihis Salams multiple Sacrifices [Eid Al-Adha and Hajj Rituals are Focused on them]
By Shakeel Ahmad <shakeeluae@gmail.com> Because of his many sacrifices, Allah made Ibrahim Alaihis Salam his friend (Khalil-Allah - friend of Allah, as in Quran 4:125). What a Unique Distinction! Let us recall those sacrifices, once again, on the auspicious occasion of Eid Al Adha and Hajj, when millions of muslims seek salvation following in the tradition of sacrifices rendered by a mighty prophet (may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), with an aim to become as emotionally intelligent as Ibrahim Alaihis Salam. 1. Facing the ire of his own father, who did not mind stoning him, (The father) replied: "Dost thou hate my gods, O Abraham? If thou forbear not, I will indeed stone thee: Now get away from me for a good long while!" (19:46) Or, throwing him into the fire, which eventually happened, as reported by Allah in Quran: They said, "Burn him and protect your gods, If ye do (anything at all)!" (21: 68) So naught was the answer of (Abraham's) people except that they said: "Slay him or burn him." (29:24), and They said, "Build him a furnace, and throw him into the blazing fire!" (37:97) The threats, or real actions of unbelievers to harm him, did not deter Ibrahim Alaihis Salam from his mission of conveying Allahs message to his people or calling them to Allahs straight path, as is evident from Quranic verses 6:74, 6:80-84, 19: 42-47 ("O my father! why worship that which heareth not and seeth not, and can profit thee nothing? ). Allah Himself says There is for you an excellent example (to follow) in Abraham and those with him (60:4) and - for those whose hope is in Allah and in the Last Day. (60:6). 2. Facing the fire, in peace, for the sake of Allah, promoting tauheed: The crowd went in all directions gathering kindling and firewood. A big pile of timber was piled, as high as could be. Hundreds of people assembled talking noisily of what Ibrahim did. Prophet Ibrahim was then tied tightly with a rope. Ibrahim was calm, not afraid, knowing that Allah (swt) will save him. He didn't even resist them, making the people quite astonished. Ibrahim was tossed to the center of the woodpile which was then set ablaze. The flames of the fire sizzled and hissed, and everyone thought Ibrahim was burning to death, inside this inferno. They noticed they did not hear Ibrahim scream, none at all, and wondered why. Ibrahim A.S.s absolute trust in the Almighty is manifest in the fact that when Jibreel A.S. asked him to pray to Allah, he reaffirmed his faith by saying Allah was seeing all of this, and he would take good care of his servant. And, Allah did just that by ordering "O fire! be thou cool, and (a means of) safety for Abraham!" (Quran, 21:69) 3. Migration for the sake of Allah: When Ibrahim A.S. realized that no one else was going to believe in his call, he decided to emigrate with his wife and Lot A.S. to a city called Ur, then to Haran, then to Palestine, and to Egypt (Quran, 29:26), calling people of all those places to tawheed, and guiding them to truth and righteousness. 4. Leaving his beloved wife and infant son in an isolated place inhabited by wild animals: Ibn Abbas narrated (more or less): When Abraham had differences with his wife (because of Sarahs jealousy of Hajar, Ismael's mother), he took Ismael A.S. and Hajar away; they had a water skin containing some water. When Abraham reached Mecca, he made her sit under a tree and started his return journey. Hajar followed him for a while asking him On whom are you leaving us behind in this desolate place where there is no habitation, nor any provisions for habitation Ibrahim A.S. kept going, without responding to her questions. She repeated that to him many times, but he did not look back at her. Finally, she asked him, "Has Allah ordered you to do so?" To this, he responded, "Yes." She then said, "Then He will not neglect us", and returned. Ibrahim A.S. was not negligent of his siblings; he was himself in great pain, but was following Allahs commands. He left his most beloved son who came to him in his old age, and a young caring wife when he needed her most. Ibrahim A.S.s love for Ismail A.S. and Hajar reflects well in his prayer to Allah, offered on reaching Thaniya where they could not see him, "O our Lord! I have made some of my offspring dwell in a valley without cultivation, by Your Sacred House (Kaba at Mecca) in order, O our Lord that they may offer prayer perfectly. So fill some hearts among men with love towards them, and O Allah provide them with fruits so that they may give thanks." (Quran, 14:37) The well-known act of Hajar to run from the hill of Safa to the hill of Marwa, and in the valley between them, in search for water for the thirsty Ismail A.S., the striking of ground by angel Jibreels feathers leading to the gushing of Zamzam water, etc, became rituals to be performed by all Hujjaj-e-karam until Qayamah, by the orders of Allah. 5. Readiness to sacrifice his own son, a son who came to him in old age (after a lot of waiting, at the fag end of his life), unfazed by the lure of shaitan (stoning him) Allah relates to us of this great trial of Ibrahim A.S. (and his righteous son): And he said after his rescue from the fire: "Verily! I am going to my Lord. He will guide me! My Lord! Grant me (offspring) from the righteous." So, We gave him the glad tidings of a forbearing boy. Then, when (the son) reached (the age of) (serious) work with him, he said: "O my son! I see in vision that I offer thee in sacrifice: Now see what is thy view!" (The son) said: "O my father! Do as thou art commanded: thou will find me, if Allah so wills one practising Patience and Constancy!", So when they had both submitted their wills (to Allah), and he had laid him prostrate on his forehead (for sacrifice), We called out to him "O Abraham! "Thou hast already fulfilled the vision!" - thus indeed do We reward those who do right. For this was obviously a trialAnd We ransomed him with a momentous sacrifice: And We left (this blessing) for him among generations (to come) in later times: "Peace and salutation to Abraham!" [37:99-109] 6. Actually performing the final act of slaying his most beloved son, in submission to the Amightys call: The final act of sacrifice, as described in Quran (37:99-109), occurred on the tenth of Dhul Hijja, when Ibrahim A.S. performed an act of sacrifice which Allah termed as momentous - not known from anyone else. This great example of sacrifice for the sake of Allah endeared Allah so much that he declared We left (this blessing) for him among generations (to come) in later times: "Peace and salutation to Abraham!" [37:108-9] Thus the Almighty Allah made this a ritual (Eid Al-Adha) for the believers to perform, so that they could recall the greatness of Ibrahim A.S.s pinnacle of obedience. Say: "Verily, my Lord hath guided me to a way that is straight,- a religion of right,- the path (trod) by Abraham the true in Faith, and he (certainly) joined not gods with Allah." [Quran, 6

continued its efforts, with limited success, but in 2002 it drew criticism from Muslims when a secret memorandum came to light in which all state education officials were ordered to ensure that madarsas applying for government funding "are not indulging, abetting, or in any other way linked with anti-national activities." The Union government's madarsa modernization scheme has enabled students from various parts of the country to seek jobs of their choice, says Firoz Bakht Ahmed, the grandnephew of Maulana Abul Kalam Azad, better known for his own writings on minority issues and madarsa education. The agenda for reforming the madarsas has, unfortunately, today come to be linked with the question of countering 'terrorism'. Yoginder Sikand in one of his writings focused on efforts being made today by 'ulama and Muslim activists in India to introduce modern subjects in the curriculum, excise subjects and books that are considered irrelevant and introduce reforms in teaching methods. Sikand looked at the ways in which this demand for reform is formulated and legitimated, such as reviving a holistic understanding of knowledge in Islam, doing away with educational dualism, widening employment opportunities for the 'ulama and empowering the Muslim community. The menace of growing educational backwardness through madarsas that everybody is afraid of can be curbed only by providing a progressive, modern alternative with a promising future for the younger generations, writes Arjumand Ara, a teaching faculty at Delhi University. "We are not going to compromise on the content and structure of Islamic education but certainly welcome any initiative by the government to upgrade the curriculum to have modern education in madarsa system," Maulana Mohammad Wali Rahmani, a well reputed Islamic scholar and the Director of Khanqah Rahmania Munger, Bihar said. It is a well-known fact and one can believe that nothing was ever wrong with the madarsas in India. A well thought statement by Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in Washington DC recently remove all the doubts on the credibility of madarsa when he said, "we have 150 million citizens who practice the faith of Islam. And I say it with some pride about their patriotism that not one of them has joined the ranks of these gangs like the Al Qaeda or other terrorist activities". I visited Khanqah Rahmania Munger, a well-established Islamic seminary in Bihar, I have seen the students besides religious education they were also getting the computer education and comfortably surfing the net. "We have computers, we have books in English, we have students who can converse in English but not militants. The allegation about Madarsa that they produce millitants is completely baseless," said Maulana Rahmani, a supporter of modernization process. "We are more open and have nothing to hide from anyone. If anyone has doubt, is more than welcome to come and have a look", said Maulana Khalid Saifullah, principal of Madarsa Ashrafiya, Saharsa. Demands for the 'modernization' of the madarsa system are today being voiced from many quarters, including from several ulema associated with the madarsa themselves. The voices of ulama advocates of reform are particularly significant, in that they are influential in moulding the opinions and policies of principals of the madarsas, which outside critics are not. It is really time, that when we think of introducing Modern Education into the Madarsas, we should also look at the existing syllabi and incorporate the modern and technical subjects. The madarsa need trained modern teacher, modern subjects (science, computer and humanities) and certainly a modern well structured curriculum along with its own religious contents. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------*M J WARSI holds a doctorate in Linguistics and teaches at Washington University in St. Louis, USA.
