RIYADH: The Lajna Ilmiya (Education Society) in Riyadh organized its seventh workshop entitled “Istiqbal-e-Ramadan” last week, to highlight the duties and responsibilities of Muslims during Ramadan.
Six articles were read during the workshop: “Fazail-e-Ramadan” by Mohammad Shoiab Ghorakhpuri, “Ramadan and Qur’an” by Nihal Anwer Qasmi, “Battles and Islamic Victories in Ramadan” by Inamul Haque Qasmi, “Our Shortcomings and Laziness in Namaz” by Mohammad Arshad Qasmi, “Zakat ke Masail” by Ashraf Ali Qasmi, and “Virtues and Features of Deen-e-Islam” by Mohammad Najeeb Qasmi.
Maulana Abdul Bari Qasmi, who presided over the workshop, said that Muslims have been called on to do good deeds during the holy month of fasting, with an emphasis on reading the Qur’an as much as possible.
The workshop was compeered by Abdur Rahman Umari. Haroon Qasmi, who gave the vote of thanks, along with Mohammad Saleem played a pivotal role in organizing the workshop. Those in attendance included prominent personalities from India and Pakistan, and women and children.
He said Islamic education was particularly important for children, who are often not aware of their religious duties because of the current education system. The workshop had oral and written quiz competitions for children from kindergarten to Grade 12.
Meanwhile, it was announced that Qasmi has launched a mobile app in three languages on Islam that includes 45 books — 14 in English, 14 in Hindi and 17 in Urdu. Another app prepared by Qasmi, Haj-e-Mabroor, has several books in English, Hindi and Urdu on the Haj and Umrah, and nine lectures.
These two apps are available through the PlayStore and AppStore, and can be installed within two minutes. Once the Haj-e Mabroor app is installed, pilgrims will not need to carry books.
