Islamic Cultural Center, Badi Masjid (Teka), and the Markaze Islami Hall in Jafar Nagar, Nagpur
JIH Nationwide Campaign on “Neighbours’ Rights” Concludes in City
If we solve the problems of our people, then Allah will solve our problems – Khwaja Izhar Ahmed
Women’s department also played a part
Nagpur – The closing ceremony of the JIH on “Neighborhood Rights” was held under the auspices of the Islamic Cultural Center, Badi Masjid (Teka), and the Markaze Islami Hall in Jafar Nagar, Nagpur North. The Women’s Department also participated in the event.
The program began with the recitation of Surah Nisa, verse 36 of the Holy Quran. The Prophet Muhammad’s saying, “The will of Gabriel (peace be upon him)…love for one’s neighbor,” was also read. The discussion session focused on the campaign’s introduction, the objectives of neighborly relationships, the non-harmful and best neighbor, and presented topics such as resident, professional, and temporary neighbors, good behavior toward neighbors, and the etiquette of Islamic ancestors. In the panel discussion, titled “Relationships with Neighbors in the Modern Age…Problems and Solutions,” the coordinator, through panelists, addressed the growing distance between immediate neighbors in urban and rural settings, the impact of religious or social differences on neighbors, busy lives and disconnectedness from neighbors, digital preoccupation with neighbors, and practical ways to build positive relationships. In his concluding speech, city president Khwaja Izhar Ahmed said that the way humans used to take care of other relationships in the past, that space has become narrow today.
If a child was seen unnecessarily in the city, it used to be the neighbor’s responsibility to question them, and children were afraid of this. Today, the concept of “my life, my choice” and its adverse effects are visible. This means that we have become disillusioned with the rights of children and neighbors. Inclusiveness has been replaced by individualism and narrow boundaries. A villager would know everyone and try to alleviate their problems as much as possible, but a city dweller is facing individualism. From social animals, we have become economic animals. As a result, we have distanced ourselves from our responsibilities to neighbors, relatives, the needy, and the poor. Where children once ate and slept in the neighborhood, this responsibility is no longer visible today. Modern technology has created opportunities for screen-driven loneliness. This loneliness has made us forget the problems of others.
A Pew Research survey in the US revealed that 74 percent of people don’t know about their neighbors. If we are victims of individualism, then this is what is going to happen: the world has reached the moon through rockets, but poverty is so severe that UN data shows that 1.1 billion people are living below the Multidimensional Poverty Index. They are hungry, thirsty, helpless, poor and destitute. To eliminate this poverty, the Indian government has adopted many policies, which include “Integrated Rural Development Program, Pradhan Mantri Gramin Awas Yojana, Indira Gandhi National Old Age Pension Scheme,
National Family Benefit Scheme, Ladli Behan Yojana, Annapurna, Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act
and so on. We should use these policies to help those suffering. Economic hardship is fueling depression and suicide. We must move beyond individualism and recognize the rights of our neighbors.
If we solve the problems of Allah’s servants, Allah will solve our problems. We must change our concept of identity. We must understand Surah An-Nisa 36 of the Holy Quran. Sadly, we do not recite it. Finally, the program concluded with a prayer for selflessness and success.
A large number of people were present, according to JIH media secretary Dr. M.A. Rasheed.
