Month-long 'Hayya-alal-Falah' campaign concludes

February 21, 2011

Mangalore, February 20: The concept of real success in Islam is surrendering to Almighty Allah. To attain success, it is obligatory for an individual to surrender himself to the Almighty in all means rather than to his own wishes, said Abdullah Javed, State President, Jamat-e-Islami Hind (JIH), Karnataka-Goa.

He was speaking after inaugurating the valedictory conference of the month-long campaign “Hayya-alal-Falah” (Come towards Success) organised by the Youth Wing of JIH on Sunday at City Ground in Deralakatte near here.

He said one should realise the objective of life. Fear of God leads to progress along with evolution of civilisation and society. An individual should have sense of responsibility towards parents, society, and fellow beings, he said.

Yusuf Umari, Member of State Advisory Committee, JIH Kerala, said the call for success “Hayya-alal-Falah” is not only for Muslim community, but for the whole mankind. The youth should adopt the model of lives and messages of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and companions.

He lamented that it is not possible to call ourselves the best community as most members of the community are indulging in un-Islamic practices.

Since its inception, Jamat-e-Islami Hind has been working towards the betterment of the society. It has played a very crucial role in promoting service oriented activities as 'Ibada' (worship), he said.

Abdussalam Vaniyambalam, Vice Chancellor of Islamic University Shanthapuram, spoke on “Present Global Scenario, Message of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and the role of youth”.

Muhammad Kunhi, District Convener, Youthwing and Salim Mambad, State Member of Advisory Committee, Solidarity Kerala also spoke.

Ibrahim Kodijal, senior Congress leader launched a signature campaign against MSEZ using water from Nethravathi river.

Sharjah, UAE: Ayisha Basheer Esra, a talented young writer hailing from Aramboor in Dakshina Kannada’s Sullia taluk, marked a significant milestone in her burgeoning literary career with the launch of her debut novel, The Betrayal of the Kingdom, at the Sharjah International Book Fair. The prestigious event, recognized as the world’s largest book fair, provided a fitting stage for the unveiling of Esra’s work.

The official release ceremony was conducted by Sheikh Abdullah bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, Director of the Religious Affairs Office of the Sharjah Government and a distinguished member of the royal family, underscoring the significance of Esra’s achievement. Mrs. Lini Shivaprasad, Principal of GEMS Millennium School, Sharjah, had the honor of receiving the first copy of the novel.

The event was graced by the presence of numerous distinguished guests, reflecting the widespread recognition of Esra’s literary talent and the anticipation surrounding her debut novel. Among the notable attendees were Syed Panakkad Munawwarali Shihab Tangal, Dr. Mariam Al Shenasi, the UAE’s renowned writer and Head of Dar Al Yasmin Publications, Dr. K. K. N.
