Striving towards educational and socio-economic empowerment of Muslims
In the name of Allah, the Most Merciful and the Most Benevolent
Bihar Anjuman is not an organization (nor intends to be),
but simply a network of individuals whose hearts beat for
Bihar & Jharkhand and for fellow Muslims worldwide.

Striving towards educational and socio-economic empowerment of Muslims
• Backwardness of the Muslim world: due to people’s
autocratic tendencies regarding their own viewpoints, their
deciding the affairs without consultation, unwillingness to
accept advice; indeed, often severely censuring any attempt
by others to offer advice.
• “And if you had been rude and harsh-hearted, they would
have disbanded from about you. So pardon them and ask
forgiveness for them, and consult them in affairs. And when
you have decided, then rely upon Allah. Indeed, Allah loves
those who rely upon Him.” [Sûrah Âl `Imrân: 159]

How many more karbalas do we need to wake up?

• Can we work to improve quality of education,
healthcare?

GOOD DEEDS, why??
• And give glad tidings to those who believe and do
righteous good deeds, that for them will be Gardens
under which rivers flow (Paradise). Every time they will
be provided with a fruit therefrom, they will say: "This is
what we were provided with before," and they will be
given things in resemblance (i.e. in the same form but
different in taste) and they shall have therein Azwajun
Mutahharatun (purified mates or wives), (having no
menses, stools, urine, etc.) and they will abide therein
forever.

GOOD DEEDS, why??
• Verily! Those who believe and those who are Jews
and Christians, and Sabians, whoever believes in
Allah and the Last Day and do righteous good
deeds shall have their reward with their Lord, on
them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve .
( ‫ سورة البقرة‬, Al-Baqara, Chapter #2, Verse #62)
• And those who believe (in the Oneness of Allah Islamic Monotheism) and do righteous good deeds,
they are dwellers of Paradise, they will dwell
therein forever.

GOOD DEEDS, why??
• And as for those who believe (in the Oneness of Allah) and do
righteous good deeds, Allah will pay them their reward in full. And
Allah does not like the Zalimoon (polytheists and wrong-doers).
( ‫ سورة آل عمران‬, Aal-e-Imran, Chapter #3, Verse #57)
• Those who answered (the Call of) Allah and the Messenger
(Muhammad SAW) after being wounded; for those of them who did
good deeds and feared Allah, there is a great reward.
( ‫ سورة آل عمران‬, Aal-e-Imran, Chapter #3, Verse #172)
• And whoever does righteous good deeds, male or female, and is a
true believer in the Oneness of Allah (Muslim), such will enter
Paradise and not the least injustice, even to the size of a Naqeera
(speck on the back of a datestone), will be done to them.

Enjoy this world and eat as cattle eat??
• Verily Allah will admit those who believe and do righteous deeds, to
Gardens beneath which rivers flow; while those who reject Allah will
enjoy (this world) and eat as cattle eat; and the Fire will be their
abode. [Quran, Surah#47, Ayah#12]
• Alternative translation: “The essential aspect of Allah's association,
help and support is that as a result of their Eiman and righteous
deeds, Allah will bestow on them a blissful heavenly life the
freshness of which will never fade. However for people who deny
truth and think that life means only physical existence in this world,
there is no difference between their lives and that of animals. Like
the animals they eat, drink and enjoy life (and then die). The result
of this concept of life is nothing but death and destruction (of
human dignity).”

• He who secedes from the community, as much as a span,
has cast off the tie of Islam from his neck unless he

people believed belongs to the assemblies of Jahannam
even if he fasts, prays, and asserts that he is a Muslim."

Striving towards educational and socio-economic empowerment of Muslims
• Educational: literacy, skill development, professionalism
• Social (Religious): reduce alienation w.r.t other societies,
participation, brotherhood (bondage), progressive society,
networking, joining of hands, meeting of minds
• Cultural (Religious): eradicate evils (casteism, inequality,
dowry, unislamic practices), propagate Islamic values
• Economic: Develop earning capabilities, exploit
opportunities, micro-finance, macro-finance, zakat for
economic development?
• Political: last priority - if the above is achieved, political
empowerment automatically comes our way. But awareness
is essential, approach must be sensible, strengthen the

Strategy as Stretch & Leverage
• How have firms with limited resource
endowment but great ambitions (such as
Canon) succeeded?
– They set their goals higher than what their
limited resources could enable them to attain
immediately. They created a “stretch”
– They leveraged their resources to reach these
seemingly unreachable goals
• So, do you still doubt that you also can?!

Striving towards educational and socio-economic empowerment of Muslims
 Whatever is being done is just a beginning, and there is a
lot to do within the limited time that has been allotted to us
by Allah.
 Who can guarantee that he will live tomorrow?
 Therefore, we have to try our best to do whatever we can,
today.
 We just can't postpone things for the morrow.
 In Bihar Anjuman, every one has a fair chance of proving
his love for fellow Muslims and his obedience to
commandments of Allah and Rasool, in this respect.
 Just talking about it in forums and in teashops or on stages
are not enough.
