Report on "Dini, Ilmi o Amali Workshop"

The program was well planned, an example set by the student community of Channapatna. Some12 engineering students from Gausia Engineering College joined hands with another 3 youngsters(all in their early 20s) to form "Shining Gems of Mehdavia", a committee to organise ijlas o tabligh programs.

The "Dini, Ilmi o Amali Workshop" attracted participants from far places like, Pune,Gokak, Belgaum, Bijapur, Hyderabad, Kadpa, Mysore, Bannur, Kirgaval, Mandya & Bangalore.However there was less participation from the locals. We had great opportunity to network with all of them during breaks.

The program went smoothly, with proper coordination & planning. The Abid Masjid of Hazrath Meeranji Abid Khubdmiri Sahab was full with delegates from various dairas mentioned above. It started on Friday after Namaz-e-Mughrib and Concluded on Sunday after Namaz-e-Isha.

The delegates were divide into 3 groups to practice Naubat, each group was given a ribbon of yellow, red & blue colour.

Meeranji gave practical solluton to various problems during his speaches. There were Q&A sessions in between where people raised questions on issues like kufr, namaz, faraiz etc.... And every one got answers for their questions. Meeranji stressed on the point that one should mingle with others but should not compramise when it comes to aqaid,. In his signature humorous way he said "Sabse Milo,... Ghulo mat", One should mix with others but does not dissolve like sugar in water.

Meeranji advised every one to be deliver their duties to their parents.
One the issues of kufr,,, he told elaborately on Kaffara of missed fasts...... and other sins which a man does without realizing. He told us that, as there is kaffara for missed Fasts there is Kaffara for namaz aswell, feeding 2 miskins for every missed namaz. He asked the audience how much it will take to feed 2 people,,,, every one told Rs.100/= then he asked us to calculate how much one needs to give kaffara on his life time missed prayers..... this will run into lakhs of rupees... He urged every one to never miss even a single namaz, Read quran, Understand and follow the sunnath of our Beloved Rasool (sas) & Imam Mehdi (as)

As everyone knows Meeranji has a good sense of humor, he picked up humor and made the audience smiling. The sessions were interactive & friendly. He used to say half a verse and asks others to complete it.

The organisers had also arranged food for all the delegates at the Khan Complex.

I request brothers who were present on the occasion to put here their thoughts,experiences and lessons learned at the workshop.

Insha Allah I will add more notes on the program, and will upload the pictures of the event soon.

I wish let these Gems Shine for ever and let this kind of workshops replicate in every daira around the globe.

Till then Allah Hafiz....
