Innocent hands holding a bag or the chains of exploitation?
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
Article (90)
The crescent of Shawwal is not only a harbinger of Eid festivities but also marks the beginning of a new journey of religious education. This is the time when the doors of madrassas open, bags are picked up, and the lamps of knowledge begin to light up in innocent eyes. But in the background of this bright scene, there are also shadows that try to obscure this luminous journey. Therefore, it is necessary that on this occasion we do not just take admissions, but also awaken our conscience. For those in charge of madrassas, this moment is not just a matter of administrative busyness but an examination of trust and honesty. Remember! Every child who comes to your door is the center of a mother's prayer and a father's hopes. Therefore, do not allow language, region, or any kind of narrow-mindedness to take place in the admission process. The field of serving the religion is vast, there is no room for prejudice in it. If rules are set for discipline, then they must be maintained, but the basis of these rules should be justice and sincerity, not discrimination and prejudice.
On the other hand, parents and students also have to realize their responsibility. Every place where a "madrassa" board is displayed does not necessarily have the light of knowledge. There are some places where ignorance is being promoted under the guise of education, where children are taught to be used, not to learn. This is the bitter truth where young students are taken in groups to cities, towns, and trains, and where children are kept (surrounded) for personal gain by making them mere objects of display, it is more appropriate to call it a hub of exploitation rather than a madrassa. "The innocent existence of these children is presented for a few coins.
This is a moment to think: when you research repeatedly to buy an ordinary thing, visit different shops, then why not this caution in deciding the life and hereafter of your child? Why do you hand over your heart's piece to someone on their sweet words or temporary assurances?
Remember! A good madrassa makes its own identity. Nets are not laid to bring students there, but its academic atmosphere, moral training, and organized system attract students themselves. Such institutions are like lamps whose light spreads far and wide, and students themselves move towards that light.
However, those students who choose a recognized institution under the supervision of their teachers or responsible guardians are certainly enviable. What a great thing the scholars have said about such fortunate people that angels of mercy spread their wings in their paths.
Today's biggest demand is that we recognize every deception in the name of education and raise awareness against it. Madrassas should purify their ranks, make sincerity the foundation, and build trust through their character. And parents should not consider their responsibility as just a formal process but consider it as the protection of a sacred trust. And remember! A madrassa is not just the name of a building, it is a place to build generations. If the choice is right here, then destinies are adorned... and if there is a mistake here, then not only a child, but a whole future is lost in darkness.
Poetry....... Be careful. Many places.
In the name of knowledge, they have decorated the market
Children are innocent, characters are sold
Spreading nets of deceit in the name of education
They have sold their conscience for a few coins
