lend in their helping hand to the enthusiastic techies of IBM
Maulana Abdul Hafeez Rashadi saab the Key member of the
NGO made Health and hygiene as the Key chapter throughout
the Friday sermon here is a glance of his today Speech
The first thing in the religion brought by the Prophet
Muhammad (PBUH) is the concern for cleanliness. Islam places
great emphasis on cleanliness, in both physical and spiritual
aspects. While people generally consider cleanliness a desirable
attribute, Islam insists on it, making it an indispensable
fundamental of the faith. A Muslim is required to be pure
morally and spiritually as well as physically, though the Quran
and Sunnah Islam requires the sincere believer to sanitize and
purify his entire way of life.
Our responsibility is not only to ourselves but also to bring our
family to practice a healthy, clean and pure life and for us be the
model for others.
Health and cleanliness is built from a clean body, heart and
mind. It is crucially important for us to watch what we eat,
wear, think and feel. Every part of ourselves, visible or not, is
related to other part.
For every Muslim ensuring and maintaining cleanliness is
rewarded. In the Quran Allah commends those who are
accustomed to cleanliness:

5. “Allah loves those who turn to Him constantly and He loves
who keep themselves pure and clean” (Al- Quran)
“Truly, God loves those who turn unto Him in repentance and
loves those who purify themselves.” (Quran 2:222)
Speaking to Our Correspondent Maulana Abdul hafeez Rashadi
appreciated the Social work and Thanked the Work of the
Techies and said he also learnt a lesson of the day that we
should not always be dependent on the government Authorities
rather than wasting our time by Playing the Blame game we can
always take the initiative in our own hand to see India a
developed nation, a nation can become strong only when each
and every single Individual feel the Responsibility of the Public
as his own
Maulana along with his group of volunteers and social Workers
was seen helping the techies in setting right their brooms,
Giving guidance and direction in carrying out their work,
arranging for drinking water , and at one Point of time he was
seen actively removing the hurdles of the clogged drain
Mosque committee members also took the part in the Initiative
the Honorable secretary Mr Haji Zabiulla was instrumental in
Calling the BBMP tractor to collect the Gathered debris and
waste

6. A Similar initiative is organized by Safabaitulmal in association
