Kuwait City, May 7: A public programme on ‘Importance of Education in Islam’ was organised by Indian Muslim Association (IMA) in cooperation with Ministry of Awqaf & Islamic Affairs at Jamiyatul Islah auditorium at Rawda.

Speaking on the theme of the programme, Maulana Hafiz-ur Rahman from Islamic Education Society, Kuwait quoted several verses from the Holy Qur'an and narrated instances that stressed on the level of importance Islam placed on seeking knowledge and spreading it. “To seek knowledge and to spread it is a sacred duty which is obligatory to every Muslim. The first word that was revealed in the Quran was ‘Iqra’ which means ‘read’,” he said, advocating the message of seeking knowledge.

Defining knowledge as identifying the signs of our creator, he listed out several inventions that were taught by Islam in ancient periods, which science identified only recently. He said that the current education system which is based on Western influences was the root cause of spiritual degeneration among Muslims throughout the world. “There is a need to rebuild the educational system on a foundation that fulfills our spiritual as well as worldly needs and to reconstruct the social order in accordance with the tenets of Islam,” he said.

Syed Ifthekar Ahmed, HR Manager, Al Mulla Group made a presentation on ‘Important Guidelines for Higher Education of Children’, enlightening the parents on various fields which hold great opportunities in the future.

The programme began with the recitation of the Holy Quran by Abdul Rahman. It was convened by Abu Ala Shaheen, who also made the introductory remarks. Mohammed Ali from Masjid Kabir was the chief guest for the programme. Members from the Urdu-speaking Indian community in Kuwait, including women and children, attended the programme.

He was suffering from cancer and was admitted to Al Tawam Hospital Al Ain some time ago. He was on the last stage of illness which was not detected earlier.

His funeral last rites were conducted on Thursday August 7 at Jebel Ali cemetery in Hindu rites with a few of his family members present. Due to Covid pandemic, neither his body was able to be flown back to hometown nor could his two children come down to attend the funeral. 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.
