Madrasas- Loyalty, Sacrifice and today's challenges

All madrasas in every nook and corner of the world are valuable treasure for the Muslim community, and great blessings for all humanity.Only because of these madrasas Islamic culture, motto, principals and values have been preserved, and mosques and tombs remain in this world. Especially in this critical and crucial age,if some Muslims are fulfilling their obligations given by God and His prophet Muhammad(peace be upon him) such as offering salah, fasting, performing Hajj, giving zakat, and so on.If they are following Islamic rules in wedding, business transactions and living their lives, it is only because of these Islamic madrasas.

These madrasas teach lessons of humanity, high morals, good character, unity, equality, brotherhood, peace, and tranquility. They also instill the spirit of serving mankind, helping the poor, orphans,needy people and widows.

Dear Readers! It was none other than ulama of these madrasas who gave all Indians the lesson of loyalty to the country India, They forced the treacherous British to leave this country, and always raised the flag of rebellion against oppression, persecution, discrimination and prejudice, And made us realize that this land was the land of Love and affection, loyalty is our sign and symbol, loving our country is a part of our faith , and facing every conspiracy against our country is our national duty.

Those were Islamic scholars who participated in the war of independence against the British and issued the fatwa that setting India free from the clutches of British rule is a religious duty.

Nearly 51,200 scholars sacrificed their lives in that struggle. They continued their struggle and sacrificed their lives. Then this country got freedom. And a democratic country was established in which all people discovered as a citizen the honorable freedom of abiding by the customs of their own tribe,and following their own religion. Even they were given full freedom of preaching and spreading their religions. But that freedom is becoming a dream day by day, and looming like a mirage in the desert.

It is being interfered in Muslim personal laws in this present scenario, even the volume of the adhan (call to prayer) is being questioned

What a pity! F.I.R.s are being registered against the people who offer salah, and they are being imprisoned behind the bars in false cases and being pushed to their limits. Muslims are being killed in the name of cow slaughter.Their buildings are being bulldozed.And their mosques, schools, and the places of worship are no longer safe.

It is a matter of great grief and pain that the madrasas which taught loyalty to the country are being called the hubs of terrorism and extremism. The madrasas through which our India got freedom are being called useless and worthless. All enemies of Islam are spending their whole potential and capability to eradicate the madrasas, And in such a situation the government is also playing a huge role. Nowadays every policy is being made to end the existence of madrasas .The continuing surveys of only Islamic madrasas by the UP government make it clear that Islamic madrasas are particularly targeted by sectarian and hostile elements of the society.

In such a time, every Muslim must remain alert and aware. We must support, protect, and assist our madrasas in every possible way.
