Kuwait City, Nov 16: Indian Muslim Association (IMA-Kuwait) in cooperation with Masjid Kabir organized a public lecture on Hijra New Year at JamiathulIslah Auditorium Rawda.

Mohammed Ali, head of Jaliyath Masjid Kabir was the guest of honor. He praised the activities of IMA and reminded that Islam is a religion of peace and brotherhood. He said the concept of equality in Islam was unmatched. 

Masood Shehab, President IMA in his introductory remarks briefed about the various activities of IMA and emphasized the importance of these programs. He said Hijra was an important event in the history of Islam and a true test of the faith of the Muslims in Makkah. 

Sharafuddin Soofi was the key note speaker of the function. He talked on the topic “How to start a new year”.  He said every great thing has a humble beginning, planning for a new year should begin with setting high goals and making a humble beginning towards achieving this goal.

He said that we should undertake Hijra at every stage of life such as from wrongdoings to good deeds. He further added that, “the Hijra opened the door for continued success and revolutionized every aspect of the life of Muslim Ummah. He mentioned series of success attained after migration of Prophet Muhammad to Madinah, which includes strengthening of faith, economic stability, social wellbeing, religious training and establishments of Islamic principles in every aspect of life; in short it was a paradigm shift for the Muslims in comparison to their earlier lifestyle.

While elaborating on the subject of ‘Lessons from the magnificent event of Hijra' Mr. Shamvel Parvez, Head of IMA education department said that the objective of Hijra was to establish a society based on Islamic principles. He further stated, “The entire event of migration of prophet Muhammad (PBUH) gives innumerable lessons to the Muslim community. However he expressed sadness that Muslims today have forgotten the actual message of Hijra.

A beautiful narrative was presented by children on the topic “People of Heaven & People of Hell”. Mariam & Safiya quoted various verses from the holy Quran and reminded the audiences about the qualities of the people of heaven & hell. The Program was convened by Mr. ArshadHabeeb. Dinner packets were distributed at the end of the program. The Program started with the recitation of the verses from the holy Quran by Master Imaduddin

Dubai, Aug 7: One may call it good luck, but for two Indian expats it was God who prevented them at the last minute from boarding the Air India Express plane that crashed in Kerala, killing at least 18 people on board.

According to India's Civil Aviation Ministry, the Boeing 737 aircraft on a flight from Dubai to Kozhikode overshot the runway at Kozhikode airport on Friday evening. There were 184 passengers including 10 infants, 2 pilots and four cabin crew onboard the aircraft.

Noufal Moin Vetten, an Ajman resident working as an office boy in a Sharjah school, was booked to travel on the flight and had checked in as per schedule.

Recounting his miraculous escape, Vetten, a resident of Malappuram, Thirunavaya, whose visa was cancelled a week ago, told Gulf News: “I was handed my boarding pass, but when I reached immigration, they told me I had to pay a fine of Dh 1,000 (Rs 20,430) for overstay. I had only Dh 500 (Rs10,215) with me.

"I called my school PRO and he told me to come back. He said they would follow protocols and pay the fines before sending me,“ he said.

Vetten was disappointed and called his family to let them know.

“When I heard about the crash, I was saddened for all the passengers. But I'm so relieved I missed it. God has been really merciful,” said Vetten.

Afsal Parrakodan, a resident of Abu Dhabi, had a similar stroke of luck.

“My work visa was cancelled about a week ago. After getting my boarding pass, I was told I had to pay a fine of Dh1,000 at the immigration counter, but I had only Dh500 on me.”

“I was very keen to board the flight and be with my family. So I called a friend who brought me the additional Dh500, but by then, my baggage had been offloaded and the flight's doors were closed,” said Parrakodan.

“I was feeling very sad and called my mother to tell her I had missed the flight. But a few hours later, when I learnt of the crash, I couldn’t help but feel relieved and thankful to God for saving my life,“ said an overwhelmed Parrakodan who plans to fly back next week.
