Mangaluru, Dec 27: Memorizing the holy book of Quran is challenging in its own way. But this 13-year-old daughter of U T Khader, the minister for food, civil supplies and consumer affairs in government of Karnataka, has inspired all by remembering the entire book by heart at an early age.

utk

Hawwa Naseema began memorizing the holy book from the age of 11 and within two years, she's learned it all. The holy Quran has 114 beautiful chapters and powerful 6,236 verses.

Though she opted to lead a simple life and avoid publicity, Hawwa has emerged as a celebrity not only among Muslim community but also in the entire Karnataka, thanks to her achievement.

Video clips of Hawwa's Quran recitation started going viral on social media ever since she was formally conferred theHafizah' title at a convocation ceremony held at TMA Pai International Convention Centre in the city on December 24.

Thousands of netizens belonging to different faiths have hailed Hawwa's achievement. Inspired by her, many social media users have vowed to encourage their daughters to memorise the holy book.

The story behind Hawwa's achievement is touching: Khader sent Hawwa to learn the Quran to keep a vow he made near the Kaaba in Makkah, after the girl was lost in the crowd during the Haj pilgrimage a few years ago.

Interestingly, it was also the wish of Hawwa to discontinue material education after Class V and began Islamic studies. Despite being the only daughter of a prominent minister, Hawwa preferred to stay in a hostel to mingle with poor and orphaned children and understand their difficulties.

Initially, Hawwa joined an Islamic course at Madrasathul Bayan, Adkathbail, in Kasragod district of Kerala. Later, she joined Tanfeezul Quran Women's College at Konaje in Mangaluru Mangaluru. Al Hafiza Sumayya is her teacher at the institute, which is headed by Hafiz Muhammed Ziyad Nadvi from Thiruvananthapuram.

Hawwa has higher goals. She intends to pursue an Islamic course in a well-known university like the Islamic University of Madinah and then set up a religious education institution to help those who want to pursue Islamic studies.

Absolutely no problem or restriction for women in Islam either in claiming rightful share in her father's property or acquiring knowledge, leading the community, assuming any responsible position or doing any activity under the sun that are permitted by Islamic Law. Sister Hawwa has already set her goal to be the Head of the Islamic Institution and impart knowledge, we pray Allah (God) to grant her success and be a role model to other kids.

You have became a special person of Allah.

May Allah Ta'ala bless you.

The next steps commanded are

- Understand its meaning,
- Follow its teaching
- Share with others as much as possible, regardless their background from which faith they are. This is difficult job, but possible with HIKMATH and DIPLOMACY.

It is hard truth, because Islam has come for guidance for all, not just for Muslims only. So it belongs to all people. It is everybody's right to know and duty to know.

May God help us to learn the truth and practice it.

Good to learn that the child is doing something not on Mobiles or iPads. But what next for this girl child? Can she become a Moulvi for Muslim men when she grows or a Khai? Does Islam provide this liberty to girls? Can the readers show some light on this?

One of the rare qualities of Hafizah Hawwa Naseema is that she does not wear any gold ornaments. However, she was given a golden finger ring during the convocation by her institute. The institute gives golden ring to all the females who complete Hifz (memorizing Quran). This is the first and the only ornament worn by Hawwa.

Bengaluru, Jul 27: The Karnataka government on Sunday directed the Director General of Police Praveen Sood to submit a detailed report on the internal security following the United Nations' observation that international terror outfit IS was active in the state.

The UN report stated that Al-Qaeda in the Indian subcontinent, which reportedly has between 150 and 200 members from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Myanmar, was reportedly planning attacks in the region.

It also warned that there were 'significant numbers' of ISIS operatives in Karnataka and Kerala. Reacting to the UN report, Home Minister Basavaraj Bommai said the state government has taken a serious note of the report on the activities of IS in the state.

The state government is in touch with the Centre and the neighbouring states to keep a close watch on the activities of suspicious people and their supporters.

"In this context, it has been decided to strengthen the internal security of the state. The Director General of Police has been asked to submit a detailed report," Bommai said in a release.

The state is also keeping a strict vigil on all those entering Bengaluru from other states, the Minister said. He recalled that the state police had arrested several members of Al-Hind organisation in January last and Jamaat- ul-Mujahideen from Bangladesh in 2018 and 2019. He added that the National Investigation Agency is investigating the case of JMB.

Dubai, May 12: Free tickets are being offered by philanthropists and businessmen based in the UAE for deserving Indians who want to fly home.

Repatriation ticket prices have been set at around Dh700 to Dh750 per person depending on the destination. But there are many in UAE who cannot afford it, especially people who have lost their jobs or have medical concerns.

Malayalam Communications Ltd and its Malayalam stations (Kairali TV & Kairali News) are giving away 1,000 tickets free. Those who wish to apply can submit their application to [email protected].

Indian businessman Dhananjay Datar, chairman & managing director of Al Adil Trading Company, is also giving away 300 tickets. He is liasing with the Consulate General of India (CGI) for the names. “This is the time we need to rise as a community,” he said.

Besides taking care of airfares, Datar will also bear the cost of COVID-19 testing fees for Indians from the UAE.

“The repatriation efforts undertaken by the government of India is one of the largest initiatives. I am just doing a small bit to help the community. There are many people who are not in a position to meet the airfare and COVID testing costs as they have lost jobs. I will be coordinating with authorised entities handing this to lend my support,” he said.

Pravasi India Forum, a welfare organisation in UAE, is giving away 100 tickets. The NGO on Monday, May 11, uploaded a registration form where people can provide their details. “Tickets will be given to those approved by CGI and for those who are in financial distress,” said Abulaise, president of Pravasi Welfare Forum.

Punnakan Mohammed Ali, general secretary Incas UAE committee, said it is also ready to give away hundreds of free tickets but only to genuine candidates. “We will evaluate each individual and only if they are approved by the consulate, we will give the tickets. But we are ready to help.”

Those who want to register can get more details on www.pravasiwelfareforum.com.They can also call 055-1025611.

Need for more flights

The gesture notwithstanding, many Indians are still waiting to get news on their repatration.

Social worker Shukoorali Kallangal, President, Abu Dhabi Kerala Muslim Cultural Centre (KMCC), urged the government of India to add more flights to accommodate more passengers.

“Emergency repatriation services are the need of the hour. There are several expats with medical, financial distress. For those who came with the hope of a job – that too is a thing of the past now. Right now all they want is to go home and start something afresh there.”

Kallangal said: “Take the case of pregnant women. In many cases, their husbands have lost jobs or have been asked to go on unpaid leave. They are living hand to mouth and cannot afford medical costs. Due consideration should be given to them.”

Sreedharan Prasad, another social worker based in Ras Al Khaimah, said he is currently dealing with several emergency medical cases.

Consul General of India Vipul said plans are afoot to add more flights in the next phase of Indian repatriation. “The number of flights are being decided by India in consultation with state governments. This is not a normal situation we all are in. We are in the middle of a pandemic situation.”
