Mysuru :
(Afsar Pasha)- Dr. Mohammed Haziq Nadvi, Director of Darul Umoor and Research Centre, Srirangapatna, has called upon managements of Mosques to throw open their doors for social and educational causes including starting of blood banks and study centres.
Speaking at the inaugural function of the Lecture Series on “Islamic history, thoughts and its impact on the world” organised by Universal Guidance Centre for Education and MESCO, Mysuru, on Friday last at MESCO Education Complex in Subashnagar, N.R.Mohalla, Dr. Nadvi said Mosques, which are generally restricted to Muslims offering prayers, can endear themselves to the general public in a pluralistic society by taking up social and educational causes.
He even declared his blood group and offered to be available for donating blood to the needy.
Similarly, he said Mosques should promote education by offering free coaching classes to the needy students without religious discrimination. These efforts will go a long way in promoting amity among different communities in a climate of hostility.
Dr. Nadvi regretted that Islamic history had been distorted and Islamic culture had been misinterpreted, leading to a wrong impression of Islam in the eyes of the world.
With passage of time, Muslims have moved away from the basic Islamic doctrines that had won the world’s adulation centuries ago. There is a dire need for Muslims to correct their course by pursuing the way of life as shown by Islam and undo the harm that time has inflicted upon it.
He emphasised the need for fresh efforts in the direction like the Lecture Series so that the coming generations abandon the false legacy and pursue Islam in the true sense.
Noted historian and former Vice-Chancellor of Goa and Mangalore Universities Prof. B. Sheikh Ali focussed on the Almighty’s creations and the path upon which the humanity should follow.
Secretary of the Universal Guidance Centre for Education Prof. Noor Ahmed Khan said the Centre took the initiative to hold such Lecture Series as it felt necessary to guide the youth and connect them to their roots so that they can take the right course.
Former Vice-Chancellor of Yenepoya University Prof. Syed Akheel Ahmed, who was also present on the occasion, welcomed the initiative to hold the lectures.
The Universal Guidance Centre for Education will hold lectures on “Islamic history, thoughts and its impact” by Dr. Nadvi on the first and third Friday of every month at the Lecture Hall at MESCO Mosque.
