My Tryst with Urdu and Journey so far:

 -

By: Iqbal Sattar

Dear friend.

I was educated up to 3rd standard in Dharwad in Government Urdu School. Our Teacher with white pagadi and hanging back portion was so nice. My father was an Education officer in Dharwad. He established many Urdu Schools, in Dharwad, Bijapur, Belgaum and Karwar. He used his approach to Urdu Schools in villages for community outreach.


I completed my 7th in Belgaum Government Urdu School and SSC ie XIth in Islamiya High School Camp Belgaum. These 11 years of Urdu medium strengthen my love for Education. The teachers in those days were devoted.


Our Headmasters and principal Late Adam Jamadar, were great personalities. 


Library, newspaper, reading books, discussion, allocution competitions, sports, science exhibition, and Drama competition were part of Education.


We learnt good English, Persian, Kannada and Marathi along with Urdu. The interaction with teachers was wonderful. My principal had called me in his office and corrected my Aswersheet for 3 hours. Each and every word and line he read and explained my mistakes. At that time he had had told me Urdu Couplets are Allexire (Abe Hayat) for brain development.


We worked for the garden, School building, extempore speeches, poetry and discussion. As a result, our batch was containing students from well-off parents and our entire batch had successful careers in their lives.


When we gathered after many years. We attributed our success of the batch to our devoted Teachers.


After B.Sc., I joined SFRC Coimbatore after a tough selection procedure and training in forestry. When I was joining my first posting in Sawantwadi my father advised me to be in touch with Urdu Schools, wherever you are posted. What a great vision.


I served in 6 Districts of Western Maharashtra and Konkan. I had a chance to be in touch with more than 200 Urdu medium Schools. My final interaction was with Azam Campus Pune. Where I met Dr.P.A.inamdar.He advised me to join my native School in Kudachi after retirement and work for community development.


When I joined Junnediya High School, Kudachi.We had 1000 students with 15 classrooms.


I could collect funds from India and abroad and constructed 40 classrooms School Building. With present strength of 3000 students.


Now zeal for Urdu medium School is weakening and the tendency of English medium is increasing. So we had Junnediya English medium School established along with Three computer Labs and Robotic Labs.


Now I have taken another 40 classroom project for English medium School. The Project is underway. We are getting financial support from our friends.


We have all three Mediums.ie Urdu, Kannada and English. But the parents are more inclined towards English Medium. We can't help.


In JEMS we have English, Kannada and Hindi languages. In addition, we have Urdu and Persian Diplomas financed by NCPUL, New Delhi.


Robotic Lab is financed by NITI Ayog. My Education, Service and my retirement years were my trysts with Urdu.


But I had an occasion to learn Urdu, Kannada, Marathi, Tamil, Telugu, Arabic, Persian, English, Russian and Tagalo in Phillippines.


I am very happy with whatever I have done for Urdu and community. Everready to share my experience regarding Infrastructure Funding, Computer, NCPUL, Robotics, Artificial intelligence, Arduino, 3D printing, Augmented reality, Please feel free to share knowledge and ideas with me one to one.

Quran Juz 21 – Utlu Ma Oohiya - Summary:

 - Quran Juz 21 – Utlu Ma Oohiya Summary Join Us:  https://chat.whatsapp.com/EwGX2NFn95O2Bo92HkyyiI • This Juz starts off with the divine commands of Quranic recitation and establishment of prayers.  • The benefit of establishing prayers is mentioned. It keeps a person off from indecency and vulgarity. Hence, a Muslim can use this as a parameter to know the acceptance or rejection of his/her prayers in the Court of Allah. • How can a person deem his prayers as acceptable if s/he is involved in lies, breach of promises, oppression, open loot, indecency in vision and speech etc.  • One of the characteristic features of Prophet Muhammed ﷺ is being mentioned, that is he did not formally learn to read and write. However, his teacher is Allah the Exalted; there is a hidden wisdom behind this aspect.  • Then Allah commanded that a Muslim must not shun morals should there be a need to discuss and debate with the People of the Book (Jews and Christians).  ...

Discipline is not oppression, it is love in action:

 - *The Perils of Pampering: Raising Disciplined, God-Conscious Children*   In a world that glorifies instant gratification, indulgence, and materialism, we risk raising a generation that lacks resilience, respect, and responsibility. The saying, *"A pampered child becomes a spoiled adult,"* holds profound truth. If we fail to discipline our children today, we may find ourselves helplessly watching them struggle tomorrow or worse, witnessing them turn into entitled, inconsiderate adults.   *Discipline is not oppression, it is love in action*. It is the framework that shapes a child’s character, teaching them that life does not always bend to their will. If we refuse to instill these values at home, the world will teach them often in ways we would never approve of.   Islam places immense emphasis on disciplined upbringing. The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) said:   > *"Command your children to pray at the age of seven, and discipline them for it at t...

We need to go back to these core teachings and examples of Islam and similarly strive for achieving an ethical and moral society, wherever we live:

- Assalamualaikum, For those who can drop their 21st century cultural baggage and read this sermon in its own historical context, one can’t help but admire it as one of the earliest declarations of human rights in written history. Almost everything Muhammad SAWS says in this prophetic sermon was almost unheard of and inconceivable prior to the arrival of Islam. The Prophet of Islam addresses some of the core universal values in a society where those values are long forgotten and violated in a systemic basis. The Prophet didn’t only say but transformed his society, in a very short period of time, remarkably in all the values and lessons that he talks about.  In this sermon of Muhammad SAWS, Muslims find their deep commitment to the universal human values such as sacredness of life and property, equality, justice, peace and more. Upon these high universal values, the religion of Islam was built.  We still have so much to learn from this 1,440-plus-year-old cry and we are so much...

​⭕ ​Kufr wa Shirk ⭕

*​❧ Allah Ta’ala ki sifaat mein shirk:* ❧ Allah Ta'ala ki sifaat mein shirk ka matlab yeh hai ke jo sifaat Allah Ta'ala ke saath khaas hain, un ko kisi doosre ke liye maanna jaise Allah Ta'ala ke alaawa kisi ko rozi dene waala aur aulaad dene waala samajhna, kisi Nabi aur wali ke baare mein yeh aqeeda rakhna ke un ko khuda ki tarah gaib ki tamaam baaton ka ilm hai, Allah Ta'ala ki tarah kisi doosre ko ibaadat ka mustahiq samajhna aur us ke liye ibaadat ka koi fel karna jaise kisi qabr par ya kisi buzurg ke saamne sajda karna, kisi paigambar aur wali ke naam ka roza rakhna aur un ke naam par jaanwar zabah karna wagaira wagaira. ❧ Gunaahon mein kufr-o-shirk sab se bade gunah hain, kufr-o-shirk toba ke bagair hargiz maaf nahin hote, kufr-o-shirk ki haalat mein marne waala hamesha Jahannam mein rahega. ❧ Qur‘aan Majeed mein Allah Ta'ala ne shirk ke baare mein farmaaya: “Beshak Allah Ta'ala shirk ko maaf nahin karega aur is ke alaawa ji...

Duwa for parents:

- *DUWA FOR PARENTS* ❝The one who prays for his parents after every salah will be considered an obedient child on the day of judgment.❞ — Sufyan al-Thawri (R.A) Shaikh Uthaimeen (raḥimahullāh) said: ❝Your supplications for your parent in your salah of Taraweeh or Tahajjud is better than slaughtering ten (10) camels as sadaqah on his behalf.❞ [Liqaa Al-Bab Al-Maftooh - 115] Sh. ʿAbdur-Razzāq al-Badr Hafiẓahullāh said: “From the GREATEST forms of kindness towards parents (Birr al-Wālidayn) is to make DŪʿĀ for (Allāh's) Mercy and Forgiveness upon them — be they alive or dead — with the condition that they are or were Muslims..” ● [فقه الأدعية والأذكار ٢/٢٤٠] ✒ Make Duʿā For Your Parents Prophet Muḥammad (Ṣallallāhu-ʿAlaihi Wa Sallam) said: إن الرجل لترفع درجته في الجنة فيقول : أنى لي هذا ؟ فيقال : باستغفار ولدك لك “Indeed a man's status is raised in Jannah and he asks: ‘Where did I get this from?’, so it is said to him: ‘By your child seeking forgiveness (of Allāh) for you’.” ● [م...

The Doctor, Medicine and Muslims past 1000 years:

 - Muslim science  par excellence  was the study of medicine. Interest in medicine goes back to the very earliest times. The Prophet himself stated that there was a remedy for every illness, and was aware that some diseases were contagious. The great contribution of the Arabs was to put the study of medicine on a scientific footing and eliminate superstition and harmful folk-practices. Medicine was considered a highly technical calling, and one which required long study and training. Elaborate codes were formulated to regulate the professional conduct of doctors. It was not enough to have a mastery of one’s subject in order to practice medicine. Certain moral qualities were mandatory.  Ibn Hazm  said that a doctor should be kind, understanding, friendly, good, able to endure insults and adverse criticism; he must keep his hair short, and his fingernails as well; he must wear clean, white clothes and behave with dignity. Before doctors could practice, they had to...
