A Ramadhan Iftar party and dinner was organised by Bihar Anjuman’s Dammam-Khobar chapter on Friday, August 19.
About 250 people from the community attended the gathering with Dr Syed Irshad Haider as president and Dr Sayeed Akhtar and Alam Nizami as chief guests. In his address as the President, Dr Haider appreciated the initiatives of Bihar Anjuman as a group and asked many more to join the cause. Mr. Salahuddin Mohammad, treasurer (Dammam-Khobar chapter), hosted the programme which was initiated with the recital of the Holy Qur’ān. Then, Mr. Hafiz Ejaz Ahmad addressed the gathering on ‘Khidmat-e-Khalq Ka Islami Tasawwur’ or Community Service in Islamic perspective.
Syed Tahseen Ahmad explained the Aims and Objectives of the group as well as an introduction of the members of the advisory committee of BA (Dammam-Khobar Chapter). A very brief introduction and day-to-day activities of the group was elucidated by Md. Salahhuddin Khan, Gen. Secy. (Dammam-Khobar chapter). He also elaborated upon Educational and Welfare activities of the Anjuman focusing on the achievements of the group in its short journey.
Later, Ambition 2020, a project on improving the educational condition of the Muslim community in Bihar and Jharkhand was introduced by Syed Tahseen Ahmad. The project is aimed at providing free education for the financially downtrodden who are unable to continue further studies due to financial constraints.
Syed Rashique Ahmad, Convenor (Dammam-Khobar Chapter), known as the soul of Bihar Anjuman, ensured its smooth functioning. In the end, Md. Asghar Khan extended a vote of thanks and congratulated all gathered.
Bihar Anjuman, a non-profit welfare organisation, came into existence when a group of NRI Muslims hailing from Bihar and Jharkhand came together with the aim to promote the conditions of Muslim brethren living in the homeland.
