There is a dire need of enlightened, trained and prudent persons to real the contemporary challenges and issues and well as to keep a tab on the human problems and difficulties. Chairing the concluding session of the foresaid programme, Maulana Asghar Ali Imam Mahadi Salafi, Ameer Markazi Jamiat Ahle Hdeeth Hind said. “People are the dependents of God’ the closest to Him are the most useful to His dependents.” (Saheeh Muslim).
In the Holy Quran, there is a telling comment on human history. “Why were there no righteous persons among the generations that passed away before you who would forbid others from causing corruption on earth”. (11:116)
It means there should always be an organized group to promote virtue and neutralize vice. They were expected to ensure that anarchy did not spread across the earth.
In this regard the All India Refresher Course for Imams is a modest step in the right direction. If Allah wills, and it is hoped, this one will serve as a foundation upon which the trainees may build the sound character, self accounting, discipline eagerness to serve humanity, national integration, sense of human suffering etc. etc.
Self improvement, sincerity, patience, truth, and honesty are the weapons to fight various evils, including extremism, terrorism and Daish activities. The teachings of Islam focused on improving individuals in all aspects of their life. They were directed to bringing about changes internally through heart and mind and meant to empower human beings to control evil forces that are always wound them. It is advised to trainees to keep their hearts free from hancor and enmity.
Maulana Haroon Sanabli, General Secretary Markazi Jamiat Ahle Hadeeth Hind in his concluding address explained the aims and objects of the Refresher Course arranged to keep guard on the nature and character of Imams, teachers and make them aware of their responsibilities towards nation, community and Jamaat.
