Hating The Day Of Love

" If you would like to
defeat a community without fighting in a
battle field than spread lust amongst its
youth."
        Perfect things need not to be modified but it requires a modification for imperfect things.Islam being a comprehensive religion possess a well set of rules and teachings, which are actionable to change. In Islam festivals are clearly defined and no addition or subtraction may be accepted. Prophet Mohammad (pbuh) said, " Every innovation is a misguidance and
every misguidance goes to Hell fire". Therfore believers need to sensitive in celebrating the days and events. The day or the occasion ,the Messenger of Islam ( pbuh) didn't celebrate ,is prosecutable.
            Valentine's day ,celebrated as the day of love ,has no confirmation in Islamic history and is thus forbidden to celebrate. Valentine day goes back to Roman times not Islamic times.It is one of the festival of pagan Roman's .It is a commodity which belongs exclusively to Christian's not to Muslims. In the mid February, every year Valentine followers beat the drum along with the number of myths.It is  celebrated with kisses ,flowers and chocolates. One of the popular myth related with it is that saint Valentine was executed on Feb. 14 ,many centuries ago ,for soldiers who were forbidden to marry. Since Roman times it is solemnized as a symbol of love and remembrance. Not only non Muslims but a scarce of Muslims are also falling pray of this fantasy. They concede it an occasion to express their love for each other. To put it in another way, they are unconscious about the Islamic perspective governing this aspect .
     Their is no religion ,which encourages its follower's to love and care one another more than Islam does.love in Islam is more general and comprehensive. It encourages the love of Allah,the love of Messenger ( pbuh) ,the love of martyrdom and the love of spouse. Prophet Mohammad ( pbuh) was never shy to express his love for his wife. Their Islam accepts  a bond of love between a men and a woman but only in the framework of marriage. Otherwise it is rejected.
          The crooked Valentine day invites to lust and immorality. In other words it diffuses the western culture in our society. The west civilized Muslim youths indulges in all kind of immoral steps to celebrate the illicit occasion. Consequently this becomes the podium for Islamic prosecutors to expand their ideology against Islamic dogma. Because youths form the bulk if this  manipulated solution. Quoting Sultan Salahud Din Ayubi ,said," If you would like to
defeat a community without fighting in a
battle field than spread lust amongst its
youth". Celebrating the Valentine's day ,means okaying the unislamic behaviour. Because with their whole or their minor issues in itself means agreeing with disbelief. Prophet Mohammed ( pbuh) said " who ever imitates the people is one of them" .
          This is to say that the   Valentine's day and the days complementary with it reels the world under moral bankruptcy. The greed for lust have turned  the world into an ugly place. Today particularly in west the woman have been turned into the salable commodity. Her charm ness and fairness is being exploited for  cheap interests. The Valentine day serve as a tool for such interests. As estimated in the united states ,83 percent of girls aged 12 to 16 experienced some form sexual harassment in public schools. Besides this ,this this form of human beings are assaulted ever day at every place all over the world. To avoid the turmoil and criticism ,these offensive acts are given the nice names just as Valentine day.This is not the case of west only  but  Muslim world after blindly following the foot prints of west face same crisis.
         Preventing our society from such confrontations we need to follow and grasp the Islamic knowledge. Islam shariah has put much emphasis on Haya( modesty) and sometimes it is described as the indispensable condition for the presence of Iman ( faith) .Therefore to safeguard our faith and preventing the wrath of Almighty hereafter ,we need to strive for modesty conscious society. If they can create a Valentine's day for spreading immorality and atrocity ,why can't we establish a Haya day for promoting morality and chastity .so let us pledge to say :-
              
"No to immorality"
  "No to immodesty"
  " no to valentine's day"

Teacher; A Noble profession

Education And Moral Values


The meaning of education lies inside a galaxy formed
by different views of different groups and people each
of whom thinks about purposes in different ways. In
english ,education is derived from two latin words
educure and educatum means to draw out propulsion
from inwards to outwards.Shikhsha a term used for
education in hindhi has come from the Sanskrit word
shash,means to direct or to decipline.Coming across
different education philosophies like idealism,realism,
perenialism and pragmatism putforward by Socrates,
Plato,Aristotle, Jhon Dewey etc ,one may reach at the
conclusion that education is any act or experience that
has a formative effect on the mind character and
physical ability of an individual. It is a way of
transmitting views and values from one generation to
another.The process of becoming an educated person
is education.In wider sense it is a total development of
an individual.
Education is a purposeful process . Absense of aim in
education makes it a blind alley .Aims of education are
manifold.Vocational aim or bread and butter
aim,knowledge aim,cultural aim and the supreme aim
of spirituality and morality. Character is the cream of
education and as such it should be the central aim of
education. All others should revolve round this main
purpose. All scientific, technical and material progress
must take place with the aim of making life ethically
and spiritually sound.Symbolically education without
morality is like a house without a roof.You aren't safe
untill and unless you will not have a sealed house.In
the same manner one can't shape his behaviour untill
morality don't get the first rank among all other
aims.The stuff which distinguishs educated one from
vis-à-vis is morality. An educationist from south
eastern india Dr. Zakir Hussain writes a pinpoint
thought that education implies" an individually
organized sense of values". Meana moral values play a
vital role in the collective as well as individual life of a
man.Moral values are a valuable asset of our society.
Truth,honesty,respect towards adult,regard towards
parents,repute towards teachers etc form the basis of
morality. The Quran from its first revelation stresses on
moral perfection through education. Morality in Islam
addresses every aspect of a muslim life from the
greetings to the international level.The Holy Prophet
( peace be upon him) always stressed on moral
education and marked the best moral character as the
best faith.But whenever people tried to separate the
divination and education ,mankind observed moral
degradation. In our day to day life moral values show
a negative graph.Their are several causes responsible
for the same but the most critical cause is absurd and
bogus education system.It has lost its charm.The
institutions from kindergarten to the university rank are
at the verge of moral decline. The youths become the
main victim to this deadly deasease.One cant garentee
the modesty safeness of our sisters and daughters
studying in our institutions. The way of talking,acting
and behaving of students reflects the rays of
immorality.Their is no well defined aim of their
education.Their is no sign of morality left. Who is
responsible and what is the reason ? The ans is big
that moral values education are not given much
emphasis in our curricu.Although our literature
,science etc is guidence our youth progress ,but moral
degraded progress.Unfortunately here the education
measured in terms of degrees and diplomas awarded
to a person without any weightage to morality.Co-edu
cation is also contributing towards unethicalness.A
lthough it sets healthy competition ,on the contrary it
effects chastity.The teachers are also responsible for
the same .Their fallout approach with students have
abstain the flavor of relationship. If this problem is not
solved ,it may certainly shatter the basis of our
civilization. So it is the need of hour to integerate
moral values education in our curriculum. Promoting
peer communication ,building a pure tearcher- learner
relationship and encouraging the islamic environment
will surely help in solving the issue Parents should
make their wards accountable .Students need to focus
on moral education .Teachers ought to set a living
example before their disciples as " values are caught
rather than taught

Vocational Education A Solution To Unemployment


Educated youth serves as the most intelligent and
creative cadre of the nation. The ignite minded youth
forms the major resource of the nation.The nations are
distinguished as developed and developing , on the
basis of youths work in multiple fields.They shape the
destiny of nations.But it a well known fact that the tree
bearing more fruits attracts more stones. Likewise ,this
asset of the country , face numerous hardships and
challenges. One of the major challenge they face is
unemployment. Unemployment is a chronic disease
,our youth is suffering from. Over a long period of time
we have been observing ,how the issue of
unemployment has turned out to be a major threat for
the youth in the state in general and Kashmir valley in
particular. The calmless and aimless youth of the
valley oscillate to and fro in search of their settlement.
The youth possessing high degree certificates are
begging from door to door for the sake of their job.The
graduates and post graduates prefer to work as daily
wagers and casual labourers, without a proper ans
consistent salary.This results in the contamination of
self respect.Despite having a wider vision , they shrink
themselves in a narrow vision. Estimates suggest that
nearly 25 lakh youth ,including educated and semi
educated are jobless in the state.This epidemic disease
has left many hearts wounded. The father who left no
stone unturned in managing a proper education for his
ward, manages bread and butter for him even after he
becomes educated.It gives sleepless nights to mother
whose educated & unemployed son indulges in all
kinds of illegal and immoral activities.Because
unemployment gives birth to persons like drug
paddlers,gangsters, rappists, smugglers. etc.Moreover
the immoral activities of the youth are always pointed
out and addressed ,by ignoring the basic issue. . We
have a belief that where their is a problem their is a
solution. Likewise this burning issue can also be
minimised through vocational education. The
education that prepares people for a specific trade.It
directly develops expertise in areas related to
technology, skill and scientific techniques for spaning
all aspects of trade. . This solution catches evidences
from the lines of history.Zani- ul-abideen popularly
known as Badshah ( great king) was a visionary and
foresighted man.Six centuries back (1920-1970) he
sowed the seeds of vocational education in Kashmir.
He invited art manufacturers from the foreign land in
order to taught the locals useful arts and crafts .Some
of the handicrafts introduced by him include include
papier mache,carpet weaving ,skill ,paper making
etc.He promoted Kashmiri trade at a period when
Kashmir was isolated and communication with outside
world was very difficult .These things should be
noticed and compared .Although now we live in an
advanced age but fails to proceed Busshahs mission.
The authorities have shown lackadiesal approach
towards vocational education. It is given null
emphasis in our curriculum. The statement made by
CM of introducing traditional handicrafts in schools
and colleges might come as a relief. . Policy makers
should aim at providing basic skills to every young
person by making vocational education as a
compulsory subject in schools and colleges.This will
surely help in producing skillfully and artfull persons
The persons whose degrees and diplomas will never
go in vain .The student knowing vocational education
can do a part time job as financial assistance for
studies. In this way a mega issue can be
resolved.Vocational education plays a vital role in the
human resource development and for the same reason
it is stressed in the developed countries. For instance
vocational education serves as an important part of
education system in Australia, Germany,Switzer
land,France and Italy.So, here is the need to formulate
a national vocational policy ,which may come as a
solution to unemployment.
