Prof. B. Sheik Ali
At times where the muslim community is under attack world over; imparting contemporary education, Islamic knowledge and women's education seems to be the way out. The roof of true education in religious teachings. Religious knowledge is not mere 'fiqh' and 'Hadith' but lies in noble valves which are witnessed in the life of the great prophet Mohammed (pbuh).
Islam has not compartmentalized knowledge but has given gradation to it as 'Ainul-Yaqeen'(obsolute conviction). Knowledge acquired through observation, for instance; As 'Ilmul Yaqeen' (Perceived conviction) gained through perceptions and thinking, like philosophy, as 'Haqqul Yaqeen' (Divine conviction) which can be noticed in the lives of different prophets of Allah, and their true & pious followers.
I am pleased to see that the JIH formed BIE is attentive towards up bringing of the tender posterity of the prophet (PBUH) in right direction.
By writing the commentary of Quran Moulana Moudoodi has done a great favor to Muslim Ummah. But in my view still great achievement of him is the establishment of Jamat-e-Islami a role model of pious life, a gift to Islamic community. The actual aim of this establishment is to present the gem of life. To propagate the deen, the virtues, to motivate society through sound character. To educate about life building & winning the world. To inculcate Islamic spirit and respect in human conscience. To Islamise body and soul, heart and brain wisdom and reasoning, science and culture. Thus Jamat-e-Islami's methodology is superb. It is really delightful that it's cadre is sincere, awaken, matured, determined, disciplined and cultured. Punctual and free from contradiction; they do not waver when it comes to make the most of their time, talents energy for the welfare of the community. I am grateful to the Almighty that such an organisation exists among us which is engaged not only in propagation and missionary work but has plan to shape every facet of life.
I pray sincerely for the success of this organization at every step.
