The HOPE Bulletin (31/08/2009): August 2009 Bulletin — Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful .......... The HOPE Bulletin ……….. Health, Ongoing Projects, Education (Vol. 4:2) August 2009 AAIIL Worldwide Edition Editor: Akbar Abdullah CALIFORNIA JAMA‘AT PROJECT: APPROVED BY THE CENTRAL ANJUMAN, LAHORE INTRODUCTION Editor’s Notes Bismillah! With the grace of Allah and with your support and prayers and with the blessings of Hazrat Ameer, Dr. Abdul Karim Saeed, and the Jama‘at , we are stepping into the fourth year of publication of this esteemed journal, The HOPE Bulletin. Jazak Allah! We hope that in the past year we have been able to meet your expectations and have kept your interest alive. We strongly urge you to submit your contributions regularly and give us your feedback. The year 2009 is the fourth calendar year since we embarked on the project of The HOPE Bulletin . The “Du‘a-e-shifa ” and “Obituary announcement & condolence” services were in place. Alhamdollillah , we are pleased that we were able to bring these timely services to you and now we seek your prayers that Allah ( swt ) gives us health, strength and stamina to continue this very useful mission for the Jama‘at . While we try our very best to produce an informative monthly Bulletin for our readers, we are somewhat concerned that a fair number of our worldwide Jama‘at members still do not have access to this publication. We urge our global Jama‘at Secretaries to provide us with an updated list of readers, especially young members of the Jama‘at , so that we can send forward the Bulletin to them. Inshaa Allah , beginning next month, we will introduce a new column, “History of (name) Jama‘at ”, enabling our readers to learn how an individual or group of pioneers established a Jama‘at in a particular country and what were their sacrifices and contributions in shaping the Jama‘at and how that Jama‘at has flourished. We have entrusted this task to our knowledgeable brother, Captain Abdus Salam Khan, who will start with the efforts of a pioneer from Lahore who established a viable Jama‘at in Indonesia in a span of 20 years. Alhamdollillah ! As our Lahore Ahmadiyya population has grown worldwide, there is a dire need to focus on community building and establishment of worldwide brotherhood, with respect for one another and respect for leadership of the Jama‘at . Greetings on Ramadan Al-Mubarik I join my wife Parveen and The HOPE Bulletin team in wishing you, your family, and the Jama‘at immense joy, happiness and spiritually fulfilling greetings on the blessed month of Ramadan Al-Mubarik 2009 /1430 AH. May Allah ( swt ) bless you all and keep you under His protection and His care at all times. Aameen.

HEALTH INFORMATION [Courtesy Sister Akela Haroun] Blood Clots/Stroke - They Now Have a Fourth Indicator, the Tongue STROKE : Remember the first three letters: S.T.R. STROKE IDENTIFICATION During a BBQ, a friend stumbled and took a little fall. She assured everyone that she was fine (they offered to call paramedics). She said she had just tripped over a brick because of her new shoes. They got her cleaned up and got her a new plate of food. While she appeared a bit shaken, Ingrid went about enjoying herself the rest of the evening. Ingrid's husband called later telling everyone that his wife had been taken to the hospital. Then at 6:00 pm Ingrid passed away. She had suffered a stroke at the BBQ. Had they known how to identify the signs of a stroke, perhaps Ingrid would be with us today. Some don’t die; they end up in a helpless, hopeless condition instead. A neurologist says that if he can get to a stroke victim within three hours he can totally reverse the effects of a stroke totally. He said the trick was getting a stroke recognized, diagnosed, and then getting the patient medically cared for within three hours, which is tough. RECOGNIZING A STROKE Remember the three steps: STR. Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster. The stroke victim may suffer severe brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke. Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking the three steps: S: Ask the individual to SMILE. T: Ask the person to TALK and SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (coherently. For example, It is sunny out today). R: Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS. If he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these tasks, call emergency immediately and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher. New Sign of a Stroke – Stick out Your Tongue NOTE: Another sign of a stroke is this: Ask the person to stick out his/her tongue.

    INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL FOR INNOVATIVE RESEARCH IN MULTIDISCIPLINARY FIELD ISSN – 2455-0620 Volume - 3, Issue - 4, Apr - 2017 GREAT ACADEMIC EFFORTS OF SIR SYED AHMAD DR. DEEPIKA SHARMA Asst. Prof. (Dept. of English) M.G.M.(P.G.) College, Sambhal, U.P., India Email - [email protected] Abstract: Sir Syed Ahmad Khan (17 October 1817- 27 March 1898) was the founder of Anglo- Mohammedan Oriental College which was later on converted into Aligarh Muslim University in 1920. He lived his entire life as a humanist to maintain a balance between tradition & modernity and religion & science. Like many other great reformers of the time, Sir Syed was a great visionary who diverted the attention of muslims towards the need of modern language and scientific education instead of having faith in meaningless customs and traditions. His primary aim was to create good institutions for educational, cultural and social development of muslims. He was truly a man of substance and collective intellectual. Aligarh College and the Muslim Educational Conference are the valuable gifts of Sir Syed which he gave to his community. These institutions and Conferences scattered the light of knowledge in the past as well as influencing intellectuals till the day and will continue to do so in the years to come, unhindered. Sir syed’s efforts for muslim- education served double purpose. It helped muslims to get good jobs to raise their status in the society. Therefore one can say that education was the most important aspect of Sir Syed’s services done for the muslims of India. Key Words: Muslim Leader and Reformer, Western Knowledge, Scientific Education, Aligarh Movement, Educational Institutions, Progress of Muslim Community.

    DEVELOPMENT OF ISLMIC MOVEMENT IN KERALA IN MODERN TIMES ABSTRACT OFTM6 THESIS SUBMITTED FOR THE AWARD OF THE DEGREE OF JBoctor of $f)tlo£optvp IN ISLAMIC STUDIES BY MUHAMMED RAFEEQ. T. UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF DR. OBAIDULLAH FAHAD READER DEPARTMENT OF ISLAMIC STUDIES ALIGARH MUSLIM UNIVERSITY ALIGARH (INDIA) 2010 jS AM^iy XlAM to ^*«m p, *e<* Ml ABSTRACT Islamic movement is generally defined by contemporary scholars as a sincere collective efforts to turn to pure teaching of Islam and to struggle for the purification of the Muslim society from the non- Islamic beliefs and practices. In my thesis the term connotes the sincere efforts made by different Muslim associations of modern Kerala namely the Sunni movement, Islahi movement, Jama'at-e- Islami, Tablighi Jama'at and others in the fields of Islamic reformation and revival. The historians unanimously agree that the positive attitude of native rulers, and the role of sufis, and the ulama were the factors that helped the spread of Islam in Kerala, though they differ on the exact period of the advent of Islam and conversion of the Chera King. The Europeans' penetration and their atrocities affected the progress of Muslim community. Muslims were successful in resisting the Europeans with the help of spiritual leaders but they failed consequently to overcome these imperialist powers. The colonization of imperialist powers and anti-colonial attitude of Muslims later on caused the social, educational, economic and cultural backwardness of the Muslim community in Kerala. The imperialist colonization created an obstacle in the social and education progress of Muslim community earlier started by Makhdums of Ponnani and Qadis of Calicut.
