The purpose of establishing Madrasas in India is to protect Deen. We are grateful to Allah that madrasas have always fulfilled this purpose. The present form of Islam in India is due to these madrasas, said Maulana Syed Jalaluddin Omari, Amir Jamaat-e-Islami Hind. He was speaking at the All India Conference of Madrasa Students organised by Students Islamic Organisation of India (SIO) at Jamiatul Falah in Azamgarh on 11 April.
“But given the western invasion, members of the Millat and country, particularly Ulema will have to propagate the message of Islam while following the Qur’ān and Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be to him) so that ulterior designs of west could be countered. We will have to promote Islam as a complete code of life to eliminate vices from the society,” said Maulana Omari while presiding over a symposium entitled “Genesis of Establishment of Madrasas”. The symposium was part of the conference.
