Documentary on Moulana Abdur Razaq Latheefi

It is the unique documentary of its kind. Jamaat-e-Islami Hind has been striving in India for the establishment of Divine law in all aspects of life. It has attracted millions of noble souls and changed and shaped their lives. It continues to attract and mould countless human beings throughout the nook and corner of this country.

It has produced many stalwarts and stars. Moulana Abdur Razaq Latheefi is one of them. When we, a handful of youth and students made the goal of establishing Deen as our mission he was not in the scene. But, we grew up hearing moving, soul stirring anectodes about him. As we had Moulana M A Jameel Ahmed and Moulana H Abdur Raqeeb who never get tired of narrating anectodes from the life of Moulana Abdur Razaq Latheefi Sahib. Hence Latheefi Sahib is not alien to us.

But, still, we could not get the full picture. We had never seen his photograph. We never knew how he looked like.

Here is a documentary on the life and times of Moulana Abdur Razaq Latheefi Sahib. It is informative, inspiring and good. Scores of leaders and veterans of the Islamic movement introduce you various aspects of this towering personality. S. M. Malik Sahib's version would continue to echo in your mind : "Moulana used to undertake tours after tours. He used to remember the names and addresses of three hundred members. He never needed a file or assistant." It is simply amazing. Nowadays in this age we have become addicted to our cell phones, computers. Sometimes we tend to forget our own numbers.

Moulana Abdul Azeez Sahib and Moulana Sirajul Hasan Sahib extol the leadership quality of the late Moulana. Shakeel Anwar Sahib sheds light on his milli qidmat. Scores of his sons including Br Abdur Raqeeb Latheefi, my friend, remember him passionately.

It is worth watching. Cross posted in Luthfispace

Telangana, Jamaat-e-Islami Hind and a photo!!


It is the photo which grabbed and retained my attention for more than sufficient time. Age old adage 'A picture is worth a thousand words' flashed in my mind from nowhere.

The photo, here, is not an ordinary photo we see in newspapers.

It is different. It is historic. It reflects rays of hope of future. It conveys the imprints of indefatigable work of thousands of student activists. It symbolizes the dawn of new leadership at the horizon of Islamic movement in this part of the world. It epitomizes exuberance, vigor and strength of the youth power.

It is the photo published in The Hindu in connection with the massive public meeting organised by Jamaat-e-Islami Hind Andhra Pradesh in favour of Telangana. It is taken by K. Ramesh Babu.

The byline says,''Telangana Rashtra Samiti President K. Chandrasekhar Rao with (third from right) leaders of Jamaat-e-Islami Hind on the Nizam College grounds in Hyderabad on Sunday".

Now, what is the big difference or the striking feature of this picture, you may ask.
It is SIO. Yes, all of those leaders posing in this photo are from SIO. There is Moulana Hamid Muhammad Khan who is standing next to Moulana Abdul Azeez Sahib. Br Hamid worked as the Finance committee convenor during SIO's first All India Conference held in Bangalore in 1986. I distinctly remember the heading "Khan heads finance" in the SIO news bulletin brought before the conference. The other heading I remember was "Ashfaque reviews progress". Moulana Ashfaque Ahmed is Secretary of JIH now. Br Hamid is a lecturer in a college and has visited Chennai a couple of time.

Next to KCR stands Janab Malik Moatasim Khan. He is the present Ameer-e-Halqa of JIH AP. He was the first person who was elected as President of SIO for two terms. Next to him stands Janab Abdul Jabbar Siddiqui. He is from Raichur and he was the convenor of the Headquarters construction committee of SIO and had also served as its President. Next to him stands Br Muhammad Khalid Mubashiruz Zafar who had served as member of CAC of SIO for many years. I am not so sure whether he had been ZP of SIO AP or not.

It is the SIO connection which makes this picture unique. Alhumdulillah!
