Kota (Rajasthan): The Students’ Islamic Organisation of India’s (SIO) city unit organized a grand iftaar party on the occasion of 17th Ramzan (the day of Badr) here.
Chief guest Hafiz Muttalib Mirza, former zonal president, SIO Rajasthan and a member of advisory council, Jamat-e-Islami Hind, Rajasthan, said: “The first battle of truth and falsehood was carried out on the field of Badr. This battle was neither political, community nor family battle. It was also not only a battle for defense, but for an ideology. Both groups were standing to protect their ideology and belief.”
“The chief message of Badr is that beliefs, thoughts and ideology is most important for a human,” he said and added that the message of Badr is not only that how 313 clashed with 1,000 but “what kind of qualities those 313 had? How much discipline, brotherhood, kindness, love was within them? Nurturing these feeling is called creating ‘Aura of Badr’,” a release from SIO said.
Er Ziyaul Islam, presenting brief introduction to SIO, said that SIO has been working to awaken students and youths for last 32 years and it is moving forward with its dream “reconstruction of society in the light of divine guidance”. SIO wants to make society free from evil deeds and struggling to achieve this. SIO is also working to diminish fee hike, ragging, pop culture etc., the release said.
“Debates are carried out in various areas on the issues regarding syllabus and also provides suggestions to government of India for the same. SIO also organizes various programs related to career guidance and counselling along with this excellence award programmes are also being organized to encourage and motivate students and youths. SIO also organizes various debates and discussions to provide true face of Islam to students and society. SIO is dedicating itself and contributing in every field of education, also struggling for students’ politics in campuses,” he said and appealed all the students gathered there to join the SIO.
The programme ended with a prayer by Zahur Ahmed Sb (Ameer-e-Maqami Jamat-e-Islami Hind, Kota Rajasthan).
