Malegaon:
Blaming Muslims for everything that goes wrong is a favorite mantra
for a section in India.
Coming down heavily on such people, Maulana
Sayyad Mohammad Wali Rahmani said, the contributions made by the
Muslims are immense and can never be written-off by unfair
propaganda.
“It has become a fashion in the country to blame Muslims for every
wrong or bad. Those involved in such propaganda should recall the
invaluable contributions made by the Muslims in the country and the
world. They should not forget that it was the Muslims who were the
architect of the just and civilised society. It was the Muslims who
were involved in more than 400 inventions. It was a Muslim who
invented ‘Zero’ and it was a Muslim who taught mathematics to the
world”, he said while addressing the dignitaries, teachers and
students at Abdullah As-Shae Auditorium, Mansoora in Malegaon on
June 25.
General Secretary of the All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB)
and Founder-Chairman of Patna based Rahmani Foundation, Maulana
Rahmani was in Malegaon for the foundation stone ceremony of Maulana
Mukhtar Ahmed Nadvi College of Engineering and Technology (MMANCET),
As-shae Girls Hostel and inauguration of Mohammdia Dialysis Centre.
Delivering the keynote speech after laying the foundation stone of
the college building, he urged the Muslims to use education as an
effective tool in order to revive the community.

“People in the country should stop looking at things on
communal lines. We are in fact proud to be part of such an
important project", say Prof. Handa (left)
and Architect Sachin Kothari |
“If you want to restore your lost glory, you should acquire the best
of knowledge in every field and should develop a sense of
cooperation and helping others”, he said.
Recalling the famous tradition of Prophet Mohammad (peace be upon
him) that says, the hand that donates is better in every sense than
the one stretched to beg, he urged the gathering to become an asset
for the humanity.
“Because you have forgotten the lessons taught by the Prophet (peace
be upon him), you are marginalised in every field. You are
considered as a liability”, he said. “Stop looking at others for
each and everything. Try to become an asset and a helping hand for
the mankind. Then you will see how fast things change in your favour.”
Applauding the step taken by Jamia Mohammadia Education Society (JMES)
to establish the Engineering College in Malegaon, he said, “Nothing
can be more valuable for the community than these institutions. The Madaris, the Muslim institutions, colleges and schools
howsoever insignificant they might appear now, they are actually the
source of knowledge for the community and in them are hidden the
secret of its success.”
‘Unusual Glimpses’
Interestingly, the entire function on June 25 had in it some unusual
and surprising glimpses. The establishment of the engineering
college was so important for the people in Malegaon that people
cutting across the sectarian and religious differences converged at
the venue in a large number. Maulana Rahmani himself is the
spiritual leader of Khanqah-e-Rahmaniya, Monger, estimated to
be having a following of half a million people spread all across the
globe. This is something unusual for Jamia Mohammadia Education
Society (JMES) management that belongs to a different sect. Still,
it rolled out red carpet for the Maulana.
“It would be unfair if we identify or associate an institution with
a sect or religion. The institutions are actually owned by and meant
for the people”, President of Jamia Mohammadia Education Society (JMES)
Arshad Mukhtar said in his address.
Adding more colour to the gathering was the presence of Prof.
CC Handa
and Architect Sachin Kothari, who despite religious differences
agreed to offer their services for the college.
In reply to a question they said, “People in the country should stop
looking at things on communal lines. We are in fact proud to be part
of such an important project.”
And, this is exactly what the religious pluralism in India is all
about.
