    Challenges of Islamic Da'wah in Bangladesh: the Christian

    IIUC STUDIES ISSN 1813-7733 Vol. – 4, December 2007 Published in April 2008 (p 87-108) Challenges of Islamic Da‘wah in Bangladesh: The Christian Missions and Their Evangelization Dr. Md. Yousuf Ali∗ Abu Sadat Nurullah∗∗ Abstract: Although Bangladesh is the second largest Muslim populated country in the world, there are several challenges of Islamic da‘wah here. The Christian mission, taking the opportunity of people’s poverty and distress, is evangelizing them through financial assistance and other means. The rapidly increasing number of conversion to Christianity among the tribal population is alarming. The missionary activities are spreading around the country, chiefly in the intellectual arena, in educational institutions, and in other aspects of life. The influence of it on the culture, education, religion and lifestyle of people results into converting people to the Christian ideology. Particularly the young generations are inclining towards this lucrative dogma of the new age. Media, both print and electronic, are propagating and claiming the banning of the da‘wah movement. In these situation, the Islamic da‘wah movements require to explore and implement new methodology to face the enormous challenges to prevent Bangladesh from becoming a Christian country in future. Keywords: Islamic da‘wah, Christian mission, and evangelization. Introduction: Bangladesh has the fourth largest concentration of Muslim populations in the world with a population of about 140 billion, of which 88 percent are Muslims. However, majority of the population (74 percent according to 2001 census) reside in rural area with lower economic condition and lowest standards of living. In fact, about half of the ∗ Assistant Professor, Faculty of Islamic Revealed Knowledge and Human Sciences, IIUM, Malaysia ∗∗ Student Department of Sociology and Anthropology, International Islamic University Malaysia IIUC Studies, Vol.

The disaster killed an estimated 160 persons, including 115 persons in Rangamati alone. According to the Chittagong Divisional Health Office Control Room Report, a total of 187 injured persons were admitted in local level hospitals. Approximately 85% of patients were admitted in Rangamati. While landslide related disaster occurs nearly every year, the second highest death toll of 127 deceased persons was recorded in 2007 [Disaster Forum, June 2017]. Monsoon rains caused severe flooding in low-lying areas to significantly damage road and communication infrastructure. Flood water rendered remote communities in Bandarban, Chittagong, and Rangamati districts were inaccessible by road. On June 14th, mudslides in southeast Bangladesh claimed additional lives in Cox's Bazaar and Khagrachari districts to further damage homes and infrastructure.
  • Adolescent Education and Learning in Chittagong, Bangladesh

    Adolescent Education and Learning in Chittagong, Bangladesh

    Policy Note December 2019 Students at school in Chittagong, Bangladesh © Nathalie Bertrams / GAGE 2019 Adolescent education and learning in Chittagong, Bangladesh Policy and programming implications from the GAGE baseline findings1 Authors: Khadija Mitu, Muhammed Ala Uddin, Laura Camfield and Jennifer Muz Introduction Bangladesh has made remarkable gains in the past 20 years in increasing access to education, especially at the primary level and for girls. The country’s net enrolment rate at the primary school level increased from 80% in 2000 to 95% in 2017, and secondary school net enrolment is 62%, up from 45% in 2000 (UNESCO, 2018). The percentage of children completing primary school is 80%, and Bangladesh has achieved gender parity in access. A number of challenges remain, however, relating to the quality of education provided. National learning assessments conducted by the government of Bangladesh show poor literacy and numeracy skills among students in Grades 5 and 8. The curriculum focuses more on rote learning than on competencies, critical thinking and analytical skills, reducing the government’s ability to attract higher-paying employers by providing highly skilled workers. According to the 2019 Global Education Monitoring Report (ibid.), educational provision has failed to match the massive expansion of slums, and only a quarter of slums have a government school. This brief draws on evidence from Gender and Adolescence: Global Evidence (GAGE) – a unique longitudinal mixed- methods research and impact evaluation study focused on what works to support the development of adolescents’ capabilities during the second decade of life (10–19 years) (GAGE consortium, 2019 forthcoming). Research methodology GAGE employs a mixed-methods research approach in order to explore its research questions.

    Chittagong Hill Tracts: Promotion of Development and Confidence

    Promotion of Development and Confidence Building in the Chittagong Hill Tracts Project Project Budget: € 42 million European Commission donation: € 23.5 million Implementing agency: UNDP / Ministry of Chittagong Hills Tracts Affairs Aim: socio-economic development of Chittagong Hill Tracts and confidence building among communities towards a sustainable peace start: 1/1/05 end: 30/9/09 The Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHT) region has the largest concentration of indigenous peoples in Bangladesh with eleven different communities: Bawm, Chak, Chakma, Khumi, Khyang, Lushai, Marma, Mro, Pankho, Tanchangya and Tripura amounting to approximately 736,682 people according to the 2001 census, or more or less half of the current total population in the CHT. Three decades of conflict and insurgency stemming from tensions between the mainstream society and the indigenous population severely affected the socio-economic development situation in the CHT, exacerbated by its geo-physical characteristics vis-à-vis the rest of Bangladesh. UNDP’s programme for the ‘Promotion of Development and Confidence Building in the CHT’ which is supported by the European Commission through its financial and technical cooperation with Asian development countries, aims to improve the overall development situation for all peoples and communities throughout the region. It addresses: • local Community Empowerment through small project activities funded by a Quick Impact Fund (coordinated and supported by local NGOs), • region-wide economic and social opportunities • institutional Capacity Development of the key CHT institutions, and • specific Confidence Building initiatives. In its implementation, UNDP is working closely with the main governmental institutions that are specifically set-up for development of the region, primarily the Ministry of Chittagong Hill Tracts Affairs (MoCHTA), the CHT Regional Council (CHTRC or RC), the three Hill District Councils (HDC), the Traditional Circle Chiefs System, and the CHT Development Board (CHTDB).
