Vijayawada, ANDHRA PRADESH :

The Masjid-e-Kausar & Human Welfare Centre was inaugurated grandly in Vijayawada, Andhra Pradesh. The inauguration was formally carried out by Jamaat-e-Islami Hind National Vice President Malik Moatasim Khan.

A large public meeting was organized on the occasion, attended by prominent personalities, religious scholars, and social leaders.

The event was convened by Jamaat-e-Islami Hind State Secretary Muh. Akbar Basha. The program commenced with the recitation of the Holy Qur’an by 11-year-old Fateh Muhammad Khan, whose melodious tilawat created a spiritually uplifting atmosphere.

Addressing the gathering, Malik Moatasim Khan emphasized that a Masjid should not remain merely a place of worship but should serve as a center for promoting harmony, brotherhood, and strong human relations. He called upon the Human Welfare Centre to work towards empowering weaker sections in education, healthcare, and economic development.

JIH AP State President Hafiz Shaukat Faheem stated that mosques must go beyond the five daily prayers and actively engage in educational initiatives, moral instruction, youth guidance, medical services, and distribution of Ramadan ration kits. He urged other mosque committees to undertake similar welfare programs.

JIH AP Vice President N.S. Mohiuddin highlighted that historically, mosques functioned as centers for resolving property and financial disputes. He recalled that Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) taught that offering five daily prayers keeps individuals away from sins. He stressed the urgent need for model mosques to ensure social peace and moral values.

Committee Member and JIH State Advisory Council Member Maulana Mujahid Khan Umri explained the importance of Masjid in Islam and detailed the welfare initiatives already undertaken under the Masjid-e-Kausar & Human Welfare Centre, including moral education, youth mentoring, medical services, and Ramadan ration distribution. He added that more service initiatives would be launched in the coming days.

Religious scholars, academicians, and public representatives participated and acknowledged the contributions made towards the construction of the Masjid and the Human Welfare Centre.

Masjid Committee President Shahbaz stated that the construction became possible through collective efforts. He mentioned that the Masjid & Human Welfare Centre was the dream of his late father Marhoom Eqbal and founding committee member Marhoom Abul Latif, who dedicated their time, wealth, and efforts, especially in securing the land for the mosque.

During the felicitation ceremony, dignitaries were honored. Retired IAS Officer Sri Velagapalli Varaprasad Rao, who provided key support during the initial phase of construction, was felicitated with a shawl and memento by Jamaat-e-Islami Hind Vijayawada North President Muhammad Zaharuddin. The masons and designers who contributed to the mosque’s construction and architectural beauty were also honored with shawls and mementos.

JIH State General Secretary Muhammad Karimuddin and Vijayawada City President Muhammad Khalilullah were also present at the event. The program concluded with a du’a by Maulana Mufti Yusuf.

New Delhi:

The Students Islamic Organisation of India (SIO), Delhi Zone, organised the Sumud Academic Conference at Jamaat-e-Islami Hind headquarters, bringing together over 100 students and scholars from Delhi University, Jamia Millia Islamia, Jamia Hamdard, and other institutions across the region.

The daylong event, themed “Reminding Muslim Students to Re-evaluate, Reimagine and Reconstruct Campuses,” featured paper presentations, panel discussions, and keynote addresses. Speakers focused on contemporary challenges faced by Muslim students, particularly issues of identity, saffronisation, and the growing privatisation of higher education.

Prominent speakers included Malik Moatasim Khan, Vice President, JIH; Dr. Roshan Mohiuddin, National Secretary, SIO India; Dr. Khan Yasir, Faculty, IISR; Hammad Yasir, independent researcher; Mohd. Alfauz, Doctoral Fellow, JMI; and Fawaz Shaheen, Lawyer & Researcher, among others.

In his address, Malik Moatasim Khan spoke on “The Idea of a University Under Siege: Privatisation and Saffronisation in Indian Education,” stressing that while privatisation has some positive aspects, its negative impacts are far more serious, whereas saffronisation poses an unmitigated threat to education.

Dr. Khan Yasir, in his session “From Campus to Ummah,” argued that students should rethink education as more than a pursuit of employment, urging them to explore knowledge and alternative models of livelihood beyond the narrow frame of job-seeking.

A panel discussion titled “Faith in Flux: Navigating Identity in the Modern Campus” featured Dr. Roshan Mohiuddin, Fawaz Shaheen, and Mohd. Alfauz, with an interactive Q&A and open-floor session encouraging student participation.

A view of the audience

Paper presentations formed another highlight, with young researchers presenting their work under the review of Hammad Yasir. Topics ranged from navigating identity and the role of students in shaping intellectual futures, to the broader challenges of “universities under siege.”

The conference underscored sumud – steadfastness and perseverance – as a guiding principle for Muslim students to confront academic and political pressures while upholding democratic and secular values. Organisers emphasised that the event was not only about imparting knowledge but also about integrating student perspectives into the broader discourse.

Concluding the event, SIO Delhi Zone described the conference as a vital platform to prepare students for the realities of campus life, urging them to remain resilient in the face of rising challenges.
