An Islamic Heritage Exhibition titled “Durrat-ul-Iman” was organised by the SKSSF Stewart Gunj Unit in South Andaman between 17 to 19 October, with the active participation of all Madrassas under ARJM . The event served as a vibrant platform for students to present creative and educational displays reflecting Islamic history, knowledge, and spirituality.

The exhibition featured a range of thematic models and interactive setups, including an artificial Qabr (grave) designed by youth members, a matching board circuit highlighting the teachings and details of the four Imams of Islam, a quiz corner, a selfie point, and a video presentation on “The Signs of Qayamat.”

Among the exhibits, the Isra-wal-Meraj display drew particular attention for its detailed depiction of the Prophet’s journey from Mecca to the heavens. Visitors praised the effort and imagination that went into the presentation, which combined learning with deep spiritual reflection.

The exhibition was organized to foster Islamic education, encourage creativity among students, and strengthen community engagement through faith-based learning. With overwhelming response from people, the exhibition was widely appreciated by the public for its innovative displays and spiritually enriching atmosphere.

Veteran Journalist, activist and an encyclopaedia of Andaman history, Mr. Zubair Ahmed is no more among us. Sad demise of Mr. Zubair Ahmed has left people of Andaman and Nicobar Islands, his friends, family members and followers deeply shocked.
The fearless voice of these Islands, Mr. Zubair Ahmed was deeply loved by Islanders because he had what hardly a few have today- a spine to fight for injustice.

His writing in newspapers and blogs on Andaman history, childhood memories and social issues were extremely popular among Islanders. Mr. Zubair Ahmed’s out of box thinking and ability to question authorities on crucial issues made him favourite of masses.

Mr. Zubair Ahmed, after working in Times of India, Bengaluru moved back to Andaman and Nicobar Islands and started republishing ‘The Light of Andamans’ with veteran journalist Late Govind Raju and other senior journalists. ‘The Light of Andamans’ became extremely popular in no time. He was also the Editor of ‘The Sunday Islander’ an online news portal from A&N Islands.

Other than Journalism, he was deeply involved in Education, social works and social reform activities.

His death has left a void in the media fraternity of Andaman and Nicobar Islands. The Andaman Sheekha Daily team deeply mourns the death of Mr. Zubair Ahmed. Meanwhile, the Andaman and Nicobar Media Federation and Daily Newspaper Association have also mourned the death of Mr. Zubair Ahmed.
