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.

However, it was said that his wish was to be cremated here in Dubai which unknowingly sometime back he whispered to one of his friends.

Purushotham had few years ago, survived a heart attack and fought back his life, though it had a minor paralytic effect on him. Even though, till recently he used to do his day-to-day work normally. He was a hard working personality and owned a readymade garment shop in Ajman and Dubai mostly taking care of clients with requirement of uniforms and coveralls. His dedication towards work was always appreciated by his clients who used to get their things delivered on time always.

He was never a publicity person and was helping the poor and needy in whatever ways he could silently. He strongly supported the community and was associated with Nama Tuluveru and Billawa community with commitment. He used to voluntarily come forward for the ground work of various functions of the community and used to be there until it was done perfectly.
