Bhatkal: "Moral fear guides a person onto the right path. In Islam, the protection of children is highly esteemed. Prophet Muhammad upheld the dignity of human rights," remarked renowned Kannada writer Yogesh Master.
He made these remarks while serving as the chief guest at a seminar held as part of the state-wide seerat campaign (biographical awareness campaign of Prophet Mohammed) with the theme "The Architect of Equality: Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him)," organized by Jamaat-e-Islami Hind (JIH) in Bhatkal. During the event, a book in Kannada titled "Nanna Arivina Pravaadi" (Prophet in my Knowledge), authored by Yogesh Master was also unveiled.
In his speech, Yogesh Master further emphasized, "Addiction to excellence can be perilous. We should strive to embrace the best aspects of our lives. Life follows a principle, where inner purity through virtuous conduct contributes positively to society."
Presiding over the function, JIH Karnataka secretary and the manager of Mangalore, Shanti Prakashan, Mr. Muhammed Kunhi, expressed that in an age where falsehoods are rampant, the truth needs to be proclaimed loudly. In times of hunger and poverty, there was no way to become familiar with the mind. In today's society, there is a need to search for human values. He further noted that people often venerate great individuals for their values, but it is peculiar that they do not follow in their footsteps.
Discussing Prophet Muhammed (PBUH), he mentioned that for 1400 years, Muslims have not worshiped Prophet Muhammed (PBUH); instead, they regard him as a human being sent by God to teach humanity. Muslims hold profound love for Prophet Muhammed and strive to follow his teachings and instructions, but they do not worship him. He opined that to build an egalitarian society, the key lies in loving one another.
The book "Nanna Arivina Pravaadi" was introduced by Anjuman College Senior Professor R.S. Nayak. He pointed out that many people, including Muslims, do not comprehend the significance of Prophet Muhammed. He stressed that there is a lack of values in society, and individuals need to purify their inner beings. Bhatkal Taluka Health Officer (THO) Dr. Savita Kamath remarked that it is not right to judge religion by rituals and appearances. JIH Zonal Coordinator from Mangalore, Saeed Ismail, introduced JIH and presented its activities. Bhatkal Social organization Majlise Islah wa Tanzeem President Inayatullah Shabandri unveiled the book. Bhatkal Kannada Sahitya Parishad President Gangadhar Naik, JIH Bhatkal President Syed Zubair S.M, and many others were present. The program's convener, M.R. Manvi, hosted the event.
Bhatkal Anjuman College students Asbah Ikkeri and Shreyas Nayak were honored for their exceptional accomplishments in the Bachelor of Commerce and Bachelor of Arts sections, respectively. Prizes were distributed to the winners of the district-level essay competition held as part of the Seerat campaign.
