Today the whole world is troubled by a virus invisible to the naked eye. People are worried about their health and well-being. The fear of death and its shadows are visible everywhere. After all, why was this torment and trial imposed? What is the reason that the Lord of the worlds is angry? This is the time when man needs to repent and return to his Lord. At this time when Muslims need to focus on self-improvement, it is also the time to introduce non-Muslims to the religion of Islam. It is difficult to meet people in today’s situation but a large number of people are definitely connected with media and social media at this time. Therefore, Jamaat-e-Islami Hind, Great Hyderabad, has decided to launch a 15-day online campaign on social media among Muslims and non-Muslims on a large scale under the banner of Da’wah and Reform Society. The campaign will run from July 12 to 26, 2020. The campaign will use all social media platforms (Zoom, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, WhatsApp, Blogs) and others to spread the message of Islam to a large section of the people of Hyderabad. The inaugural online program of the campaign was conducted by ‘Zoom’ under the chairmanship of Ameer of Jamaat-e-Islami Hind, Telangana, Mr. Hamid Mohammad Khan Sahab.

Mr. Inamullah Khan started the program with recitation of Quran. After which JIH Greater Hyderabad City President Mr. Hafiz Rashaad Uddin, in his inaugural address, he presented the aims and objectives of the campaign. In his address, he said that whenever such trials have occurred in human history, it has been the tradition of the prophets to humbly seek forgiveness from the Almighty and pray frequently. The Qur’an also mentions such incidents that trials are in fact a warning to human beings to return to their creator. He said that it is necessary to ask for forgiveness at this time because tribulations are avoided by asking for forgiveness. Hafiz Mohammad Rashaduddin said that for the first time an online Dawah and Islah campaign is going to be launched on behalf of Jamaat-e-Islami Hind Hyderabad. He appealed to all members, workers and allies (men and women) to be a part of this campaign. Today, people’s hearts are softened by the fear of the virus, so it is the right time to speak to them about the right path. He said that this online campaign would be launched in Urdu, Telugu and English languages. During the campaign, short video clips would be made to introduce Islam. Ameer Jamaat-e-Islamic Hind Telangana Moulana Hamid Mohammad Khan Sahab in his presidential address said that, “In present times every person is remembering the Lord. He is praying to the creator. In such an environment, we should convey his message to the servants of God. He said that this work is a work of empathy. It is our duty to abide by the religion. He also asked the general Muslims to join this campaign and make it a success.

PRESS NOTE

Hafiz Rashaduddin has urged one and all to take all sorts of precautions amid the growing covid-19 cases in the city. JIH feels that people are unaware and hence not taking enough precautions which is leading to increased number of infections. Hafiz Rashaduddin, citing a reference from Hadith (saying of Prophet Muhammad PBUH) appealed people to honour the blessing of health before the disease, take care of self and other in family, use sanitizers, wash hands frequently, use masks when going out and not go out without an emergency. He also asked people to not gather in large numbers and in close vicinity.

He appealed people to consult government’s health department and other NGOs upon developing any of the covid-19 symptoms.

Hafiz Rashaduddin announced that JIH Greater Hyderabad is running a massive campaign in both the cities to aware people on these things. Mobile announcers on vehicles are used to make sure the message reaches every household. He urged people to maintain physical distancing, use nutritious food and exercise regularly. “It is also the time to turn towards our lord, seek forgiveness and keep praying. Besides regularly praying, people must help the needy”, he implored. “Despite all the prayers, one should not lose hope on the lord if the pandemic does not ease, for the disease and the health both are in our lord’s hands”, he clarified. He requested people to take all precautions and reach out to doctors and medical fraternity when in need. We believe that if lord wills, it (the pandemic) will go away. He announced that in many parts of the city masks and sanitizers were distributed. Police and other administrative officials too joined hands with the JIH TS cadre.

In the end, He appealed other NGOs working on social, religious and political front, to aware people on the pandemic and help people come out of fear and anxiety.
