Dubai, Jul 25: An atmosphere of religious harmony prevailed at the Iftar get-together organised by the Bearys Cultural Forum at Iranian Club, Karama, here, recently wherein Muslim families and the members of different faiths and religious were brought together under one platform.

The programme commenced at around 5 p.m. with the recitation of the verses of holy Quran followed by the quiz, talk on Islam. After Iftar, the formal stage programme commenced.

Maulana Aboobacker Faizi in his speech said that it is wise to think about how we can serve the poor hungry humans than to think how to become rich and famous.  He added that in this context we need to think out of our caste, creed or religion and concentrate on our poor neighbours who really need to be supported in their livelihood. He concluded that we need to have a safe and sound communal harmony amongst us for a happy living within our various communities.

The Iftar programme concluded with dinner and vote of thanks by Abdul Razak Deva.  Dr. Kaup Mohammed thanked all the donors for their contribution towards educational scholarship and requested their support in the future too in this great cause.

A call from BCF for the contribution towards 'Education Scholarship' was voluntarily seconded even by non-Muslim brethren spontaneously during the Iftar programme who came enthusiastically to share along with Muslim brethren in collecting more than Rs. 20 Lakhs in one go.

BCF has decided to hold the distribution of education Sscholarship in next month at Yenepoya Complex Mangalore.

BCF's educational charity programme has been considered as unique since the scholarship distribution is not only limited to Beary community but also distributed to all community students irrespective of caste, creed or religion.  Whichever student identified as downtrodden, poorest of the poor and well deserving is being provided with scholarship thus uplifting him or her, granting him a chance to get educated and creating complete literacy in their hometown which shows the sincere strategy of the organization who needs to be supported for their good deeds.

President of BCF, Dr. B.K. Yousuf, Vice President, M.E. Moolur, General Secretary, Dr. Kaup Mohammed, Chairman of Iftar Committee, Abdul Latif Muly, Businessman Nizamuddin, MD of Chilly Willy Trading, Satish Venkataramana, President of Karnataka Sangha Sharjah, Satish Poojary, Convenor of Nama Tuluveru, Shodhan Prasad, Ex-President of Karnataka Sangha Sharjah, B.K. Ganesh Rai, Patron of Karnataka Sangha Sharjah, Mark Denis, President of Kannada Koota Dubai, Sadan Das,  Noel D'Almeida, Abdul Razak Deva, Salim Altaf, Amiruddin, Maulana Abobacker Faiji, Irshad Abusali were present among others.
