Khaleelur Rahman<br><br><br>The talk about Interest free banking system is in our country since about 50 years without a solution. Some years ago Maulana Taqi Usmani sahib also addressed a meeting in Chennai on this subject. There cannot be two opinions about the fact that "riba" is prohibited in Islam and Muslims should refrain from doing things which come under this word "riba". Riba means not only interest but all forms of exploitations. This is the reason why all the past great translators of the holy Quran had given the right meaning for it as "usury". The beauty of the holy Quran is that it prohibits any exploitation in business, not only interest. <br><br>As far as the banking interest is concerned, one feels that an industry cannot be established and managed without involving interest. If a person establishes a factory getting loan from a bank on interest and gives employment opportunities to some people, it is undoubtedly laudable. We must appreciate him. We have to move with the times to be respectable citizens of the present highly materialistic world where nobody seems to care for anybody. Giving sermons is different from practising things. This apart unless an interest free banking system comes into existence, we cannot condemn the present system in the way we usually do. <br><br>It is heartening to know that many Muslims have availed bank loans and established industries giving jobs to thousands of people belonging to all communities particularly women. It is a great venture. We salute them wholeheartedly because poor people are getting benefits. <br><br>It was reported some years ago that the Saudi Arabia and other oil rich countries had invested billions of dollars in the American and other banks and are not getting any interest and the banks use these interest amounts for their own purposes – right or wrong. How far can this be right according to Islamic principles? <br><br>I heard the speech of Maulana Taqi Usmani sahib. It was thought provoking. We have all respect for him and his thoughts based on the holy Quran and Ahaadees even though many conferences of ulema on this subject had resolved to present the issue in a different way considering the time we are living in and where an interest free banking system is not available.<br><br>To the question asked by a legislator "if a Muslim student can avail loan given by banks for seeking education", there was no reply at all. All this shows that nobody thinks of the have nots who have no other go except to avail bank loans for education and business purposes. We should understand that even well to do non-Muslims avail bank loans for educational and other purposes for the obvious reasons. Where do we stand in this regard?<br><br>We all know that the loans availed by farmers were pardoned several times in different states of the country by the state governments and even the union government some years ago. There were reports of Muslim farmers having suffered heavy losses due to their inability or aversion to get loans in states like U.P., M.P., Bihar etc. <br><br>How long should Indian Muslims wait to see Interest free banking system in our country? Quite a large sum of money is spent trying to get this. <br><br>There is an urgent need for the community particularly Ulama to discuss Bank Loan interest issue seriously arrive at a conclusion and guide the community in the present difficult times so that more and more people throughout the country may progress and prosper in educational and industrial arenas and benefit the people by providing employment opportunities.<br><br></div> V.M.

Ramadan is meant for fasting, worship and charity, and also for self-introspection for the purpose of purification of one's soul and body by giving up bad and attaining good things. The Holy Quran says, "Fasting is prescribed to you as it was to those before you so that you may learn self-restraint." Fasting brings people together and creates a sense of camaraderie among them. It inculcates in them righteous conduct, to be good people and brotherhood of man by eradicating evils such as anger, greed and malice.</span></span></div></div></div><div class="post-body entry-content" itemprop="articleBody" style="line-height: 1.3; position: relative; width: 355px;"><div trbidi="on"><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, Palatino Linotype, Palatino, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div></div></div><div class="post-body entry-content" itemprop="articleBody" style="line-height: 1.3; position: relative; width: 355px;"><div trbidi="on"><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, "Palatino Linotype", Palatino, serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Prophet Mohammed (Sal-am) has said, "Do not belittle even the smallest act of kindness even if it is no more than meeting your neighbour with a smiling and cheerful face. We should not consider any charity small or not worth doing. Charity, big or small, should be given in a pleasant manner without hurting the feeling of its receivers and with the thought that we are only discharging a religious duty from the wealth God has given us." According to Islam even our day-to-day acts, like being kind to others at home and outside, are charity and it makes a big difference in our relations with them.</span></span></div></div></div><div class="post-body entry-content" itemprop="articleBody" style="line-height: 1.3; position: relative; width: 355px;"><div trbidi="on"><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, Palatino Linotype, Palatino, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div></div></div><div class="post-body entry-content" itemprop="articleBody" style="line-height: 1.3; position: relative; width: 355px;"><div trbidi="on"><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, "Palatino Linotype", Palatino, serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Once when Prophet Mohammed (Sal-am) was on his way to Idgah for Id prayers, he saw a poor boy about five-years-old sitting on the pavement sadly. He went near him and asked, "Why are you alone here, my dear boy?" The boy started weeping and said, "I am an orphan with nobody to care for me." The Prophet could not bear the pathetic words of the poor boy and consoled him saying, "From now on you can look to me as your father and Ayesha as your mother," and returned home with him. When his wife Ayesha fed him and dressed him well for Id prayers the Prophet lifted him on his shoulders and said, "Ayesha, this is the happiest Id for me. I experience true happiness at the happiness of this little orphan boy." He was a great benefactor of humanity and his mission right from the beginning to end was to see that every individual maintained his self-respect free from any sort of slavery.</span></span></div></div></div></blockquote><div class="post-body entry-content" itemprop="articleBody" style="line-height: 1.3; position: relative; width: 355px;"><div dir="ltr" trbidi="on"><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, "Palatino Linotype", Palatino, serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, "Palatino Linotype", Palatino, serif; font-size: 15.84px; text-align: left;"><br /></div></div></div>V.M.

(Deccan Chronicle dt.18/10/2020) about the present unfortunate political situation and mindset of Muslim leaders in the BJP, I humbly feel that the only expectation is from the self-respecting Mr. Arif Mohammed Khan, the honourable governor of Kerala, and the others mentioned in the write-up are considered non-entities from whom neither Muslims nor non-Muslims seem to expect any say on the basically communal state of affairs prevailing in the country with or without the connivance of the dirty political powers. </div><div><br /></div><div>A section of the print media like Deccan Chronicle and the judiciary are a strength to all the right thinking but somewhat disappointed people belonging to all communities who stand for peaceful co-existence of all sections of the society strongly believing in the secular and plural concepts enshrined in the Constitution of our country. Insha Allah time will heal the situation and make the friendly and peace loving people happy. Frankly speaking Indian Muslims do not expect anything from any leader, yes any leader and have pinned their hope in God for redressal of their grievances. Time never remains the same.People never remain the same. It is a natural phenomenon. The world is round and it revolves.

All liked him and more so the students from elementary to college levels. We, the people of Ambur, were lucky to have him in our midst. He came to Ambur at the invitation of the Ambur Muslim Educational Society (AMES) and inaugurated its Centenary Celebrations held on 5<sup>th</sup> and 6<sup>th</sup> September 2006 in the campus of the Mazharul Uloom Higher Secondary School, Ambur. The inaugural function took place on 4<sup>th</sup> September 2006 along with Question-Answer session. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: #fff9ee; color: #222222; font-family: georgia, utopia, "palatino linotype", palatino, serif; font-size: 15.4px; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: #fff9ee; color: #222222; font-family: georgia, utopia, "palatino linotype", palatino, serif; font-size: 15.4px; text-align: justify;"><span face=""arial" , sans-serif" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 18.4px;">Dr. A.P. J. Abdul Kalam’s inaugural address was illuminating, power-packed and question-answer session full of wise thoughts, so necessary for everyone particularly the students who are to shape the destiny of our country –the beautiful India – in future.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: #fff9ee; color: #222222; font-family: georgia, utopia, "palatino linotype", palatino, serif; font-size: 15.4px; text-align: justify;"><span face=""arial" , sans-serif" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 18.4px;">We must be proud that Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, a scientist par excellence, who was determined to mould the minds of the students for better India and make India a developed nation before 2020 was the President of India. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: #fff9ee; color: #222222; font-family: georgia, utopia, "palatino linotype", palatino, serif; font-size: 15.4px; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: #fff9ee; color: #222222; font-family: georgia, utopia, "palatino linotype", palatino, serif; font-size: 15.4px; text-align: justify;"><span face=""arial" , sans-serif" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 18.4px;">Dr. Kalam was a great “ teacher ” worth the name. He gave importance to the teaching profession and encouraged students to dream their goals and endeavour their best to achieve them. He asked everyone to be honest and clean our society from evils like corruption.<br /><br />I still remember how the people of Ambur were delighted in welcoming him at Ambur and listening to his lecture and interaction with the students which were full of honest and inspiring advice. He felt at home in the midst of the people there and wished them well.<br /><br />At that time Mr. Chand Basha was the Headmaster of the Mazharul Uloom Higher Secondary School. This is one of the six institutions established and managed by the Ambur Muslim Educational Society including a full fledged Science and Arts College. He was pleasantly surprised when Dr. Abdul Kalam called him to the dais and handed over some books for the school. All this shows the intense interest he had in the spread of education and knowledge.

He was associated with Ambur Muslim Educational Society(AMES) and many other organisations in Ambur and Chennai. His support to the AMES in its important projects cannot be forgotten. He co-operated with the Society in buying the land from his Jalal family for Mazharul Uloom College establishment and helped with the result that an excellent arts and science college was established some years ago and it is functioning well at Ambur.

Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam was a great scientist and spiritual technocrat par excellence. We all know his contribution to the country is immense. He was a great person comparable with none. He was the people’s President when he was in office and even afterwards.<o:p></o:p></div>

Dr. Kalam practised the above noble principles of the Prophet (sal-am) in his life and became the darling of the masses.<o:p></o:p></div>

<b>When Dr. Kalam talked of dreaming, he meant that youngsters should set themselves a goal. He believed that if one firmly believes in something and makes efforts in a focused way, then one can realize his dreams. “Dreams……….is not what we see in sleep but it is the thing which does not let us sleep”.

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: #fff9ee; color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, "Palatino Linotype", Palatino, serif;">
Why was he so popular with the children? It is because unlike other VIPs he was accessible and made the children feel important. He was never in a hurry to finish the meeting and run away. He encouraged children to ask questions and patiently answered them.<o:p></o:p></div>

We must be proud that we had Dr. Kalam in our midst in Ambur itself. A delegation led by Mecca Rafeeque Ahmed saheb met Dr. Abdul Kalam in New Delhi when he was the President and invited him to inaugurate the Centenary celebrations of Ambur Muslim Educational Society. He magnanimously accepted it, came to Ambur and inaugurated it on 4th September 2006. That day is green in our memory. The whole of Ambur wore a festive look and the people were so excited and happy.<o:p></o:p></div>

Dr. A.P. J. Abdul Kalam’s inaugural address impressed everyone. His question-answer session with children was thought provoking and full of encouragement to students. He was determined to mould the minds of the students to work hard to make India a developed nation by 2020.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: #fff9ee; color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, "Palatino Linotype", Palatino, serif;">

It is heartening to know that the AMES is thinking of starting a Centre by name Dr. Kalam Vision Foundation in his memory to encourage students to emulate his example and come up in life with flying colours.<o:p></o:p></div>

அவர்களுக்காக இன்று அவரை அறிந்த ஒவ்வொரு இதயங்களும் பிரார்த்தித்த வண்ணம் துடித்த வண்ணம் ஆக இருக்கின்றது காரணம் <br><br>*அவரை அறிந்தவர்கள் நன்கு உணர்வார்கள் அவரைப் போன்ற ஒரு மருத்துவர் மட்டுமல்ல ஒரு மாமனிதர் இன்னொருவர் இந்த உலகில் இப்போது இருப்பதற்கு சாத்தியமில்லை*<br><br>25 ஆண்டுகால தனது பேராசையான ஒவ்வொரு மஸ்ஜிதிலும் பல்வேறு சேவைகள் நடைபெறும் சேவை மையங்களாக இருக்க வேண்டும் என்ற கனவை MSK மஸ்ஜித் சேவை குழு செயல்படுத்தி வருகிறது என்ற தகவலை தனது முகநூல் பக்கத்தில் தொடர்ந்து பார்த்து வந்த அவர்கள் என்னை தொடர்பு கொண்டு மஸ்ஜித் சேவை குழுவை வாணியம்பாடியில் துவங்க வேண்டும் தாங்கள் ஒரு நாள் என்னை வந்து சந்திக்க வேண்டும் என்று அழைப்பு கொடுத்தார்கள்.நான் இன்றே உங்களை சந்திக்கிறேன் என்று கூறி உடனடியாக அங்கே சென்றேன்.காரணம் அவர் என்னை தொலைபேசியில் தொடர்பு கொண்ட போது நான் சென்னையிலிருந்து ஈரோட்டுக்கு வந்து கொண்டிருந்தேன் அந்த ரயில் வண்டி ஆம்பூரில் நின்றது.அவருடைய தொலைபேசியும் சரியான நேரத்தில் வந்த காரணத்தினால் உடனே இறங்கி அவர் வீட்டை நோக்கி வாணியம்பாடி சென்றேன். எனது ஆர்வத்தை பார்த்த அவர்கள் அவருடைய நீண்ட நாள் கனவை என்னிடம் பகிர்ந்து விட்டு மஸ்ஜித் சேவை குழுவை துவங்குவதற்கான முயற்சியில் ஈடுபட்டார்கள்.<br><br>தன்னிடம் அறுவை சிகிச்சைக்காக வருகிற நோயாளிகளிடம் ஏழ்மை நிலையை கண்டால் நோயாளியின் முகவரியைப் பெற்றுக் கொண்டு அந்தப் பகுதியில் உள்ள மஸ்ஜித் சேவை குழு பொறுப்பாளர்களை தொடர்பு கொண்டு உங்கள் ஊரில் இருந்து ஒரு நோயாளி என்னிடம் வந்து விட்டு சென்றார்கள் அவர்களை ஏழையாக நான் கண்டேன் அவர்கள் மூலம் எனக்கு கிடைத்த கட்டணத் தொகையை நான் உங்களுக்கு அனுப்பி வைக்கிறேன். மீண்டும் அந்த ஏழைக்கு உங்கள் சார்பாக நீங்கள் கொடுத்துவிடுங்கள் என்று கூறுவது அவரது வழக்கமாக இருந்தது. இது ஒரு முறை அல்ல பலமுறை நடந்தது <br><br>விருத்தசேதனம் என்கின்ற கத்னா செய்ய குழந்தைகளை அழைத்துக்கொண்டு பெற்றோர்கள் வந்தால் அவர்களிடம் தாங்கள் எனக்கு செலுத்த வேண்டிய தொகையை உங்கள் ஊரில் உள்ள மஸ்ஜித் சேவை குழுவுக்கு நன்கொடையாக கொடுத்து விடுங்கள் அவர்கள் ஏழைகளுக்கு அதை உணவாக வழங்கி விடுவார்கள். எனவே நான் உங்களிடம் இருந்து எந்த கட்டணத்தையும் பெறவில்லை என்று கூறிவிடுவார்கள். அவர்களிடம் விருத்தசேதனம் செய்தாள் ஓரிரு நாட்களிலேயே குழந்தைகள் நடக்க ஆரம்பித்து விடும் <br><br>ஏழைகளுக்கு உணவு வழங்கும் திட்டத்தில் தொடர்ந்து அவர்களின் பங்களிப்பு இருந்தது <br><br>திருப்பத்தூரில் மஸ்ஜித் சேவை குழு துவங்குவதற்கு அவர் மிக முக்கிய காரணமாக இருந்தார் <br><br>ஒருமுறை துபாய்க்கு சென்று துபாயில் உள்ளவர்களை ஒன்று கூட்டி இந்த மஸ்ஜித் சேவை குழுவை அவர்கள் அந்த நாட்டில் அறிமுகம் செய்து வைத்தார்கள் <br><br>அவருடைய அதிகமான கவனம் கணவன்-மனைவி ஒற்றுமையோடு வாழ வேண்டும் என்பதற்காக அடிக்கடி குடும்ப நல ஆலோச னைகளை தயாரித்து பள்ளபட்டி மற்றும் பல ஊர்களில் புதிய தம்பதிகளுக்கு வகுப்பு எடுப்பதில் மிகத் தீவிர ஆர்வம் காட்டி வந்தார்கள்<br><br> ஹஜ் பயணத்தின் போது ஹாஜிகளுக்கு சேவை செய்யும் நேரம் வந்துவிட்டால் முழுமையாக தன்னை அந்த சேவையில் அர்ப்பணித்துக் கொள்வார்கள் <br><br>உலமாக்கள் மீது அன்பும் உயர்ந்த மரியாதையும் என்றென்றும் வைத்திருந்தார்கள் காரணம் அவரும் ஒரு ஆலிமின் மகன்தான் மருத்துவராக இருந்தாலும் அவருடைய தோற்றம் வணக்க வழிபாடுகள் ஓர் முழுமையான ஆலிமுக்கு இணையாகவே இருந்தது<br><br> ஒவ்வொரு வாரமும் திங்கள் மற்றும் வியாழன் கிழமை நோன்பு பிடித்து இந்த உம்மத்திற்கு துவா செய்த வண்ணம் இருந்தார்கள் <br><br>அவருடைய ஒரே லட்சியம் ஆலிம்களின் தலைமையில் உலகம் முழுவதும் உள்ள அனைத்து மசூதிகளிலும் மக்கள் சேவை நடைபெற வேண்டும் என்பதே அவர்களுடைய இலட்சியமாக இருந்தது.<br><br>ஒவ்வொரு நாளும் சம்பாதிப்பதை அன்றே தர்மம் செய்துவிட வேண்டும் என்று நினைக்க கூடியவர் .சேமிப்பின் மீது கொஞ்சம் கூட நம்பிக்கை அற்றவர். நாளைய பொழுது இறைவன் கையில் என்று நம்பி வாழ்ந்தவர் <br><br>இப்பொழுது கூட தனியார் மருத்துவமனையில் வைத்தியம் செய்யுங்கள் என்று கூறிய பொழுது அதற்காகும் செலவுகளை தர்மமாக செய்துவிடுங்கள் என்று கூறியதாகக் கேள்விப்பட்டேன் . <br><br>எவ்வளவு நெருக்கமான உறவாக, நண்பர்களாக இருந்தாலும் திருமணத்தை மஸ்ஜிதில் வைத்து நடத்தினால் மட்டுமே அவர்கள் கலந்து கொள்வார்கள். மண்டபத்தில் வைத்தால் அவர் கலந்து கொள்வதில்லை<br><br> ஏழ்மையில் உள்ளவர்களுக்காக எளிமையின் மொத்த உருவமாகவே வாழ்ந்து கொண்டிருக்கிற நம்முடைய பாசத்திற்குரிய டாக்டர் அவர்கள் விரைவில் நலம் பெற்று திரும்ப வேண்டும் என்று எல்லாம் வல்ல அல்லாஹ்வை கண்ணீருடன் பிரார்த்திக்கிறேன்.<br><br>ஒரு குகைக்குள் மூன்று பேர்கள் அடைந்து கொண்டார்கள்.அதன் வெளியே ஒரு பெரிய கல் ஒன்று மூடிவிட்டது.அப்பொழுது ஒவ்வொருவரும் தங்களுடைய வாழ்க்கையில் செய்த நற்காரியங்களை கூறி இறைவனிடம் பிரார்த்தித்தார்கள் அந்தக் கல் கொஞ்சம் கொஞ்சமாக நகர்ந்தது . அதேபோல டாக்டர் அவர்கள் செய்த நற்காரியங்களை நாம் ஒருவருக்கொருவர் பகிர்ந்து கொண்டு அல்லாஹ்விடம் முறையிடுவோம் அதன் மூலமாக அவர் முழுமையாக அந்த நோயில் இருந்து விடைபெற்று நீண்ட நாட்கள் மக்கள் பணியாற்றுவார் என்று நம்புகிறேன் அந்த அடிப்படையில் இந்த செய்தியை உங்களுக்கு நான் பகிர்கிறேன் இது அவரைப் பற்றி நான் அறிந்த ஒரு துளி மட்டுமே<br><br>பிரார்த்திக்கும்

Health care professionals are in high demand, and so too are scientists who study the transmission and effect of pandemics.<br>Experts like immunologist Dr. Anthony Fauci and medical reporter Dr. Sanjay Gupta are saying that good hygiene and quarantining, or the practice of isolating from others in the hope of preventing the spread of contagious diseases, are the most effective tools to contain COVID-19.<br>Do you know who else suggested good hygiene and quarantining during a pandemic?<br><br>Muhammad, the prophet of Islam, over 1,300 years ago.<br><br>While he is by no means a "traditional" expert on matters of deadly diseases, Muhammad nonetheless had sound advice to prevent and combat a development like COVID-19.<br>Muhammad said: "If you hear of an outbreak of plague in a land, do not enter it; but if the plague outbreaks out in a place while you are in it, do not leave that place."<br><br>He also said: "Those with contagious diseases should be kept away from those who are healthy."<br>Muhammad also strongly encouraged human beings to adhere to hygienic practices that would keep people safe from infection. Consider the following hadiths, or sayings of Prophet Muhammad:<br><br>"Cleanliness is part of faith."<br><br>"Wash your hands after you wake up; you do not know where your hands have moved while you sleep."<br><br>"The blessings of food lie in washing hands before and after eating."<br><br>And what if someone does fall ill? What kind of advice would Muhammad provide to his fellow human beings who are suffering from pain?<br>He would encourage people to always seek medical treatment and medication: "Make use of medical treatment," he said, "for God has not made a disease without appointing a remedy for it, with the exception of one disease—old age."<br><br>Perhaps most importantly, he knew when to balance faith with reason. In recent weeks, some have gone so far as to suggest that prayer would be better at keeping you from the coronavirus than adhering to basic rules of social distancing and quarantine. How would Prophet Muhammad respond to the idea of prayer as the chief—or only—form of medicine?<br><br>Consider the following story, related to us by ninth-century Persian scholar Al-Tirmidhi: One day, Prophet Muhammad noticed a Bedouin man leaving his camel without tying it. He asked the Bedouin, "Why don't you tie down your camel?" The Bedouin answered, "I put my trust in God." The Prophet then said, "Tie your camel first, then put your trust in God."<br>Muhammad encouraged people to seek guidance in their religion, but he hoped they take basic precautionary measures for the stability, safety and well-being of all. In other words, he hoped people would use their common sense.<br><br>Dr. Craig Considine is a scholar, professor, global speaker, and media contributor based at the Department of Sociology at Rice University. He is the author of The Humanity of Muhammad: A Christian View (Blue Dome Press, 2020), and Islam in America: Exploring the Issues (ABC-CLIO 2019), among others.<br>The views expressed in this article are the author's own.<br><br><br></div><div><div><br></div><div><a href="https://overview.mail.yahoo.com/?.src=iOS">Sent from Yahoo Mail for iPhone</a><br></div></div> V.M.

<div>
Alas Muthawalli Abdul Wahab saheb is no more. <br />
<br />
Janab Alhaj Nattamkar Abdul Wahab saheb, Muthawalli, Neel Field Mosque, is no more. Inna lillahi wainna ilaihi rajiwoon. <br />
He has been the Muthawalli of the mosque the past about 50 years efficiently administrating and expanding it beautifully with new buildings to accommodate increasing namazees. <br />
The commercial spaces constructed under his management for the benefit of the mosque are a testimony of his great services.<br />
<br />
I know him since my young days.His sincere and dedicated services are appreciated by all. He did his best to improve the masjid and its revenue. <br />
<br />
He was connected with the Ambur Muslim Educational Society and served it being an executive body member. He was a very humble, honest and friendly person, the like of whom are rare. <br />
<br />
He has created a sort of history by serving the mosque for as long as some 50 years. <br />
We have lost a great Muthawalli who stood for honest and dedicated service till his last breath. Let us pray for his maghfirat and sabr to his bereaved family. <br />

Manufacturers are not being able to give final shape to the products such as bags and wallets because of shortage of accessories that used to be imported from China," said Zia Nafis, joint secretary of the Calcutta Leather Complex Tanners Association, which controls the trade in eastern India.</div><div><br></div><div>In order to process the raw hides and skins and remove the hair from them, a chemical named Sodium Sulphide is needed. At least 50% of this chemical was imported from China. But that has totally stopped.</div><div><br></div><div>"There is a huge scarcity of this chemical and we are not being able to process the raw hides and skin. These hides would start rotting in the next one or two weeks," said Javed Iqbal, regional chairman (central region) of Council for Leather Exports in Kanpur.</div><div><br></div><div>CLE is the apex trade promotion organisation of the leather industry in India and controls the Indian leather export industry worth Rs 36,000 crore. At least 41% of this export comprises leather footwear while other leather goods comprise around 25%.</div><div><br></div><div>Manufacturers are now trying to procure this chemical from European countries at higher prices. Those associated with the trade said that earlier they used to import a kilo of Sodium Sulphide from China at Rs 35. But now they are trying to procure it from European countries at Rs 80 per kilo.</div><div><br></div><div>"Same goes with the other items - buttons, zippers, pullers and adhesives. At least 64 items are needed to give a shoe its final shape. Most of these items were imported from China. This has totally stopped. Now we are trying to procure these items from European countries at much higher rates," said Iqbal.</div><div><br></div><div></div><div>What is worse is that consignments of finished products that have already been exported by Indian manufacturers have got stuck at various seaports and airports in countries like China, Germany, Italy and USA.</div><div><br></div><div>"A few days ago I had sent a consignment to Italy. But over the last ten days at least the consignment is stuck at the Malpensa Airport in Milan. The importer said that he is not being able to reach the airport and take the consignment.

தென்காசி மாவட்டம் கடையநல்லூரில் இருக்கிறது அந்த 80 வயது நூலகம். அது ஒரு இருமாடிக் கட்டிடம். கீழ்தளத்தில் கடைகள், மேல்தளத்தில் நூலகம். என் பள்ளிப் பருவத்தில், ஊரிலுள்ள பொது நூலகத்தில் உறுப்பினராகச் சேர்ந்தேன். ஊரிலேயே அது ஒன்றுதான் நூலகம் என்பதாக நினைத்திருந்தேன். ஒருநாள் நண்பனொருவன், “நம்மூர்ல தனியார் லைப்ரரி இருக்கு தெரியுமா?” என்று கேட்டான். அங்கு நிறைய புதிய புத்தகங்கள் இருப்பதாகவும், மாதம் ஐந்து ரூபாய் சந்தா என்றும் சொன்னான். அவன் கூறும் இடத்தை இஸ்லாமிய நூல்கள் அடங்கிய ஒரு படிப்பரங்கமாகவே புரிந்து வைத்திருந்தேன். ஆனால், அப்படியல்ல. அந்த நூலகத்தைப் பார்க்க நேரும் ஒரு புதிய வாசகன் தனது வாசிப்பின் அடுத்தகட்டம் இங்கிருந்து தொடங்கிவிடும் என்பதை உணர்ந்துகொள்வான். அந்நூலகத்தின் பெயர் எம்ஒய்எம் - முஸ்லிம் யூத் மஜ்லிஸ்.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 28px; padding: 5px 0px;">
நூலகம் காலை 9.30 மணிக்குத் திறக்கப்பட்டு மதியம் 12.30 வரை செயல்படும். அதன் பிறகு, மாலை 4.30 மணிக்குத் திறக்கப்பட்டு இரவு 8.30 மணி வரை. என்னுடைய தேர்வு எப்போதும் மாலை நேரம்தான். 6 மணி அளவில் ஆட்கள் குறைவாக இருப்பார்கள். ஜன்னலோரம் அமர்ந்து இதழ்களைப் படிக்கத் தொடங்குவேன். மஃரிப் தொழுகை முடிந்து ஆட்கள் வரத் தொடங்கும் கொஞ்ச நேரத்தில், 25 பேர் அமர்ந்து படிக்கும் வசதியுள்ள அந்த வாசிப்பறை நிறைந்திருக்கும். அதன் பெரிய பழங்கால மின்விசிறி சுழலும் ஓசையும், பக்கங்களைப் புரட்டும் சத்தமுமாக நூலகம் உயிர்கொள்ளும்.</div>

<span style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #353535; font-weight: bolder; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">நூலகம் ஆரம்பிக்கப்பட்ட கதை</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 28px; padding: 5px 0px;">
இந்த நூலகத்தின் வரலாறு அன்றைய காலகட்டத்தின் லட்சியவாதப் போக்கை உணர்த்தக்கூடியது. சுதந்திரப் போராட்டம் இந்தியாவெங்கும் தீவிரமடைந்துவந்த காலகட்டமான 1940-ல், கடையநல்லூரானது கல்வி அறிவிலும் பொருளாதாரத்திலும் பின்தங்கியிருந்தது. கடையநல்லூரின் பிரதானத் தொழிலாக நெசவு இருந்தது. மிகக் குறைந்த கூலி; வறுமை. ஊரில் பள்ளிக்கூடம் இருந்தும் பெற்றோர்கள் தங்கள் பிள்ளைகளை அனுப்ப முடியாத சூழ்நிலை.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 28px; padding: 5px 0px;">
இந்தக் காலகட்டத்தில் ஹைதராபாத்திலிருந்து வெளிவந்துகொண்டிருந்த ‘டெக்கான் டைம்ஸ்’ ஆங்கில இதழின் ஆசிரியர் ஏ.ஏ.ரவூப் இந்திய முஸ்லிம்களிடைய விழிப்புணர்வு ஏற்படுத்தும் நோக்கில், ‘முஸ்லிம் யூத்ஸ் மஜ்லிஸ்’ என்றொரு அமைப்பை உருவாக்க வேண்டுகோள் விடுக்கிறார். அதில் உந்தப்பட்ட கடையநல்லூர் வாழ் படித்த இளைஞர்கள் இங்கும் ‘எம்ஒய்எம்’ என்ற அமைப்பைத் தொடங்குகின்றனர். முதல் பணியாக, வீதி வீதியாகச் சென்று ஒவ்வொரு வீட்டிலும் உள்ள மாணவர்களைப் பள்ளிக்கு அழைத்துவரச் செய்யும் முயற்சியில் இறங்குகின்றனர். சமூக மாற்றக் கனவின் முதல் நகர்வு இவ்வாறாகத் தொடங்குகிறது. சிறுவர்களுக்கு மட்டுமல்ல, முதியவர்களுக்கும் கல்வியறிவு ஏற்படுத்துவது அவசியம் என்பதை உணர்ந்த அவர்கள், மஜ்லிஸின் வளாகத்திலேயே இரவு நேரப் பாடசாலையை அமைத்து முதியவர்களுக்கு எழுதப் படிக்க கற்றுத்தருகின்றனர். இந்த சமூகப் பணியை மேலும் விரித்தெடுக்க வேண்டிய நிலையில், நூலகம் ஒன்றைத் தொடங்கத் திட்டமிடுகின்றனர். சரியாக 5 ஆண்டுகளுக்குப் பிறகு, 1945-ல் எம்ஒய்எம் நூலகம் தொடங்கப்படுகிறது.</div>

சுதந்திரப் போராட்டக் காலகட்டத்தின்போது சிறிய பிராந்தியங்கள் அளவில் இது ஒரு குறிப்பிடத்தக்க தொடக்கம் என்றால், இந்திய அளவில் ஒரு முக்கியமான தொடக்கம் 1920-ல் நிகழ்ந்தது. பிரிட்டிஷார் ஆட்சிக்கு எதிராக ஒத்துழையாமை இயக்கத்துக்கு அழைப்பு விடுக்கிறார் காந்தி. காந்தியின் வேண்டுகோளை அடிப்படையாகக் கொண்டு மெளலான மஹ்மூது ஹசன், மெளலான முகம்மது அலி ஜவஹர், ஹக்கீம் அஜ்மல் கான், முக்தார் அகம்மது அன்சாரி, அப்துல் மஜீத் காஜா, ஜாகீர் ஹுசைன் ஆகிய தலைவர்கள் அலிகாரில் ‘ஜாமியா மில்லியா இஸ்லாமியா’ என்ற கல்வி அமைப்பைத் தொடங்குகின்றனர். இந்தக் கல்வி நிறுவனம் மீது காந்தி பெரும் பிரியம் கொண்டிருந்தார். தன் இறுதிக் காலம் வரை அதனுடன் தொடர்பில் இருந்தார். அவருடைய மகன் தேவதாஸ் காந்தி இங்கு ஆசிரியராக பணிபுரிந்திருக்கிறார். ஹரிலால் காந்தியின் மகன் ராசிக்லால் இங்குதான் பயின்றார்.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 28px; padding: 5px 0px;">
இந்தக் கல்வி நிறுவனம் பொருளாதாரரீதியாக சிக்கலைச் சந்தித்த நேரத்தில் காந்தி நிதி உதவி வேண்டி பல்வேறு முன்னெடுப்புகளை மேற்கொண்டுள்ளார். அப்போது ஒருவர், அந்த நிறுவனத்தின் பெயரில் உள்ள ‘இஸ்லாமியா’ என்ற வார்த்தையை நீக்கினால் பலரும் உதவ முன்வருவார்கள் என்று காந்திக்கு ஆலோசனை கூறுகிறார். அதற்கு காந்தி சொல்கிறார், “இஸ்லாமியா என்ற வார்த்தை நீக்கப்படும் பட்சத்தில், அந்தக் கல்வி நிறுவனத்துடனான எனது உறவை முடித்துக்கொள்வேன். இந்நிறுவனம் இஸ்லாமிய அடையாளத்துடன் செயல்படுவதுதான் அதன் தனித்துவம்!”. காந்தி, இவ்வகையான கல்வி நிறுவனங்களின் வழியே முஸ்லிம்-இந்து உறவை வலுப்படுத்துவதைப் பெரும் கனவாகக் கொண்டிருந்தார். எம்ஒய்எம் தன் எல்லை அளவில் அந்தக் கனவை சாத்தியப்படுத்தியிருக்கிறது. முஸ்லிம்களின் வளர்ச்சியை அடிப்படையாகக் கொண்டு எம்ஒய்எம் ஆரம்பிக்கப்பட்டிருந்தாலும், அது மதரீதியாகத் தன்னைக் குறுக்கிக்கொள்ளாமல் அனைவருக்குமானதாகத் தன்னை மாற்றிக்கொண்டது.</div>

இன்று தமிழ் இலக்கியத்தின் முகமாக அறியப்படும் அனைவரின் புத்தகங்களையும் அங்கு காண முடியும். ப.சிங்காரத்தின் ‘புயலிலே ஒரு தோணி’, பா.வெங்கடேசனின் ‘தாண்டவராயன் கதை’ என வெளிவந்த சமயத்தில் கவனிக்கப்படாமல்போன அரிதான புத்தகங்களும் இங்கே இருக்கின்றன. இன்று பெருநகரங்களின் அரசு நூலகங்களில்கூட சமகால எழுத்தாளர்களின் புத்தகங்களைக் காண்பது அரிது. ஆனால், இங்கு சாரு நிவேதிதா, எஸ்.ராமகிருஷ்ணன், ஜெயமோகன், மனுஷ்யபுத்திரன் தொடங்கி சமீபமாக எழுதத் தொடங்கியவர்களின் புத்தகங்கள் வரை காண முடியம். தமிழ் இலக்கியம், இந்திய இலக்கியங்களோடு காப்ரியல் கார்சியா மார்க்கெஸ், மிலன் குந்தேரா, யோசா, இடாலோ கால்வினோ, நகிப் மஹ்ஃபூஸ், ஓரான் பாமுக், ஜான் பான்வில், சல்மான் ருஸ்தி என உலக இலக்கிய ஆளுமைகளின் நூல்களும் என இங்கு தற்சமயம் 12,000-க்கும் மேற்பட்ட நூல்கள் உள்ளன.</div>

<span style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #353535; font-weight: bolder; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">பெரும் கனவு</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #404040; font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 28px; padding: 5px 0px;">
மாதம் ஒரு வாசகர் கூட்டம் நடத்தப்படுவது வழக்கமாக இருந்துவருகிறது. கலாப்பிரியா, முகம்மது மீரான் போன்றோர் பலமுறை இந்தக் கூட்டங்களுக்குத் தலைமை வகித்திருக்கின்றனர். ஒரு சிறுநகரில், அதுவும் சிறுபான்மைச் சமூகத்தினரால் ஆரம்பிக்கப்பட்ட ஒரு நூலகம், முன்மாதிரியான சமூக முன்னெடுப்பைச் சாத்தியப்படுத்திருக்கிறது என்றால், அதன் கனவு எவ்வளவு பெரியது?<br />
தற்போது நூலகச் செயல்பாடுகளைக் கவனித்துவரும் சேயன் இப்றாகிம், “ஒவ்வொரு ஆண்டும் புத்தகத் திருவிழாவின்போது புதிய புத்தகங்களை வாங்குவதை வழக்கமாகக் கொண்டுள்ளோம். அனைத்து இலக்கிய இதழ்களும் இங்கு வாங்கப்படுவதால், அவற்றில் குறிப்பிடப்படும் சமகால முக்கியப் படைப்புகள் அனைத்தையும் தேடி வாங்கிவிடுகிறோம். தவிர, பலரும் தங்கள் புத்தகச் சேகரிப்பை நூலகத்துக்கு அன்பளிப்பாக வழங்குவதும் உண்டு. நிச்சயம் இந்த ஊருக்கு இது ஒரு பொக்கிஷம்தான். இப்படி ஒவ்வொரு சிறு நகரங்கள், கிராமங்களும் உயிரோட்டமான நூலகம் ஒன்றைக் கையில் கொண்டால் அடுத்த தலைமுறைக்கு மகத்தான வாசலை அது திறக்கும்” என்றார்.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #404040; font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 28px; padding: 5px 0px;">
இன்றைய சூழலில் மட்டுமல்ல, எல்லா காலகட்டத்திலும் ஒரு சமூகம் தன்னை அறிவுத்தளத்தில் நிலைநிறுத்திக்கொள்வது மிக அவசியம். அதுவே வரலாற்றில் நாம் எங்கே இருக்கப்போகிறோம் என்பதை முடிவுசெய்யும். எம்ஒய்எம் நூலகம் வழிகாட்டுவது அதைத்தான்!</div>

The government, he said, would also reintroduce the Citizenship Amendment Bill (CAB) in Parliament that envisages the grant of Indian citizen ship to all refugees from minority communities in Ban gladesh, Pakistan and Afghanistan. In all three nations Muslims are in a majority, and therefore, the Bill eff�ec tively denies benefi�t to Muslim minorities from other neighbouring countries, including Myanmar where Rohingya Muslims face persecution. Along with the promised combination of the NRC and CAB, the Home Minister announced that the NRC process would "natu rally" be conducted in Assam again with the rest of the country. Interestingly, this comes just days after Ranjan Gogoi, who supervised the NRC process, demitted of fi�ce as Chief Justice of India. Clearly, the Assam propo sal will be in defi�ance of the Supreme Court, which di rected the entire NRC registration specifi�c to Assam through all its tortuous details. There is still no clarity on what the end results mean for the 19 lakh plus peo ple who fi�nd themselves outside the NRC, potentially stateless and at risk of "deportation" to Bangladesh, which refuses to acknowledge, let alone accept, them. Given that the NRC process in Assam was rooted in the specifi�cities of the 1985 Assam Accord, and as the go vernment never tires of saying, a courtmandated pro cess, extending it to the entire country is both illogical and bizarre. Flawed it might have been, but the NRC ex ercise, overseen by the Supreme Court, involved the ac tive participation of the Central and State governments. For the government to repeat the exercise merely be cause the numbers thrown up are politically inconve nient for the ruling BJP, makes no sense at all. If there is a lesson from Assam, it is that there is no right way of going through a process such as the NRC.</div><div>Like the CAB, which pointedly discriminates against Muslims, and is loaded against the right to equality and equal protection before the law as enshrined in Article 14 of the Constitution, there are genuine fears that a na tionwide NRC will target Muslims. Details of how such an exercise will be carried out are, of course, not yet known. In the case of Assam, there was a cutoff� date — March 25, 1971 — after which all foreigners as per the As sam Accord were to be "detected, deleted and expelled in accordance with law". Presumably, the Centre will come out with a cutoff� for the nationwide NRC, but it will be an arbitrary one. Given the dangers that lurk within such exercises, the government would do well to abandon the nationwide NRCCAB combination. In dians can certainly be spared this pain.</div><div>An opening</div> V.M.

But what is most disappointing about it is that the relief spelt out by the Bench may amount to legitimising the very demolition it unequivocally condemns. Having declared that the suits are representative of the two communities, organised violence by one party ought not to have been ignored. It is common knowledge that the Vishwa Hindu Parishad, which spearheaded the temple movement with the active backing of the Bharatiya Janata Party and organised the demolition of the mosque, got a foothold in the litigation through an individual who represented the deity, Ram Lalla, as "a next friend" in a fresh suit filed in 1989.</span></div><div id="google_ads_iframe_/22390678/Hindu_WAP_AT_Middle_0__container__" style="text-align: start; box-sizing: border-box; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; -webkit-overflow-scrolling: touch; clear: both; overflow: hidden; max-width: 100%; border: 0pt none; outline: 0px !important; margin: 0px auto 20px !important;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">A reading of the judgment reveals that the outcome is not wholly in line with the evidentiary conclusions the court itself reaches.

While it holds that Hindus had possessory right over the entire outer courtyard to the exclusion of Muslims, it does not decide whether they had exclusive title; on the other hand, it rejects the Muslim claim solely on the ground that they failed to prove "exclusive title". Also, the court says evidence of Hindu worship was available for a period prior to 1857, while there was proof of namaz only after 1857, without accounting for the fact that it was in that year that a massive riot took place that led to the British administration putting up a railing to divide the mosque from the Hindu shrines in the outer courtyard. The case has been decided on the balance of probabilities that Hindus have proved a better title than Muslims. While it is true that "preponderance of probablities" is the standard of proof in civil law, it is doubtful whether this can be invoked to the exclusion of an acknowledged right belonging to the other side.</span></div><div id="google_ads_iframe_/22390678/Hindu_WAP_AT_Middle_0__container__" style="text-align: start; box-sizing: border-box; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; -webkit-overflow-scrolling: touch; clear: both; overflow: hidden; max-width: 100%; border: 0pt none; outline: 0px !important; margin: 0px auto 20px !important;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Courtesy : The Hindu editorial dated 11th November 2019 </span></div></div></div> V.M.
