Enhancing Deeni Knowledge during the ongoing COVID-19 Lock Down

A Screen shot of the live session on day 1

As most of the countries are observing Lock-Down to combat nCOVID-19 across the world the Farah Committee Emarat (FCE) took this opportunity to take an unique initiative to organise Online Deeni knowledge enhancement Session which started on 08th April 2020 and so far it conducted 5 successful sessions on various topics which are most essential and are basic too.

Peer-o-Murshid Hzt. Syed Mohammed Sarfaraz Mehdi Tashreefullahi Sahab ahl-e-Hyderabad is addressing the audience in a very simple way in both Urdu as well as English, as the audience is global, and there are many who cannot understand the native Urdu language.

The topics are designed for grooming of children in socio-religious knowledge targeted at age group of 10-16 years old.Though the primary focus is on children it is also  recommended for parents too to attend these sessions as it would be helpful in guiding the children.

On day one(8th April 2020 ) the sessions got started with a very interesting topic on 'Our Introduction as Mehdavi', which Alhamdulillah, attracted more than a 100 participants from across the globe and it was house full, as FEC had taken a limit of only 100 participants many could not join, as the zoom session was house full. In-order to accommodate, more participants FCE increased its capacity to accommodate 500 participants at a time. Most of the participants attended these sessions along with their families, including men, women, and children all together. By the grace of Almighty Allah, the sessions are getting a tremendous response day by day & proving beneficial to many and Alhamdulillah the audience are increasing everyday. On day one it started with 100 participants, and increased to 122 on day two, 130 on day three, 208 on day four and 234 on day five... Insha Allah, I hope it will cross 500 limit soon. 

I am staying away from our daira, my children have very less exposure to deeni mehfils, Alhamdulillah with this initiative this thirst is quenched by some extent, and my kids are fortunate to attend it on a daily basis. I hope all will find it beneficial likewise. The sessions are very interactive in nature, in which participants, can ask questions by typing them in the chat box, the most relevant questions will chosen by the Moderators from FCE team and are asked to the Murshid, who will respond in a very convincing manner with live examples. In addition to this many youngsters too are taking opportunity to deliver a short speech in the beginning of each session.
