"Pharaohs" and Imams Sobbing on Sacred Chairs
Written by: Muhammad Masood Rahmani Arariavi
Beginning of Speech:
It is an attempt to reduce the distances of hearts with words.
My writing is an exhibition of my compelled affection.
The First Lament of the Administrators' Insensitivity:
The administrator of a madrasa went shopping for fifty thousand for his children on the occasion of Eid. At the same time, a poor teacher, who had been teaching there for twenty years, went to ask for his two months' pending salary (only 8 thousand rupees). The administrator shamelessly said: "Maulana! There is no donation in the madrasa, please be patient." The teacher returned empty-handed, and that night his children ate the same dry bread on Eid day that they ate every day. Cursed is such an administration that fills its coffers by keeping the teacher's children hungry!
The Second Painful Face of the Trustees:
A magnificent mosque in a neighborhood, which cost millions of rupees, its trustee spent millions on the chandeliers of the mosque, but when the Imam requested, "I have to pay the child's fee, give me two thousand rupees in advance," the trustee humiliated the Imam in front of the entire committee, saying, "You people are always after money." The Imam prayed to Allah while standing on the prayer mat, but the callousness of these trustees forced a scholar to leave the mosque and work as a laborer so that he could feed his children.
My Pen, My Sword:
O administrators and trustees! You who take advantage of the helplessness of teachers and make them slaves of your chieftainship, remember that you are not servants of the religion, but robbers of the religion. You are raising the minarets of mosques, but you are throwing humanity into the abyss. You will be held accountable for every single penny!
Poetry:
Those who make him sleep hungry after seating him on the prayer mat,
They are enemies of the Prophet (PBUH), who boast of their position.
Those who act like big administrators on the people's money,
They feed only a handful in the teacher's wages.
The Last Challenge for the Readers of "Sada-e-Qalam":
"Dear friends! This article is enough to remove the veil from the faces of these oppressors. If there is any 'Pharaoh-like' trustee or administrator in your neighborhood, then send this article to his mobile."
An Important Clarification: Not All Are the Same
"The purpose of my article is not at all that all the trustees of mosques or administrators of madrasas are the same. Thank God, even today there are sincere and God-fearing trustees among us who care more about the needs of the Imam than their own family members. There are also such administrators who help the teachers from their own pockets for the sake of their self-respect and keep them free from financial worries.
My pen is only against those specific black sheep who have made these sacred positions a means of their ego and chieftainship. Sincere servants of religion are worthy of respect for us, but showing the mirror to those who exploit is our compulsion and religious duty."
Concluding Prayer and Appeal:
"May Allah reward all sincere trustees and administrators, and guide those who have become insensitive.
Friends! If you agree with my balanced opinion, then definitely write 'Haq' in the comment and Share it. Your Like and Follow will continue to give 'Sada-e-Qalam' the courage to speak the truth."
