'Muslims can progress only through education'

Islamic scholar and secretary general of the Calicut-based Markazu Sshaqafathi Ssunniya (MSS) Sheikh Aboobacker Ahmed on Friday said education is the only tool with which the Muslim community in the northeast can progress.

Ahmed, who attended the Assam Islamic Conference organized by the Muslim Organization of India and the Muslim Students' Federation of India here, said Muslims are still one of the most backward communities in the country and education is the only means by which the community can progress.

Ahmed said modern and Islamic education can go hand in hand and the community needs both. "Education is the means by which we can bring the community on the path of progress. Problems like terrorism can also be solved through proper education," Ahmed said.

The MSS has planned to set up 1,000 houses for the people, who were affected in the Bodoland Territorial Area District ( BTAD) violence last year. Ahmed, who is also the secretary-general of the All India Sunni Jamiyyathul Ulama, laid the foundation for 200 houses on Friday. He said 1,000 houses will be built in a phased manner.

Former Union minister C M Ibrahim, who was also present at the conference, said Muslims in south India have made significant progress in the field of education.

"However, in the northeast, they are still lagging behind. Education is the biggest weapon for the community to live with dignity as citizens. Through the MSS, we want to make a new beginning in the field of education. Assam will be our base from which we will spread out to other parts of the region," Ibrahim said.
