Proposed Goals for Muslims for the next 50 years

1. Ensure not even a single child is devoid of education.
2. Ensure their education is in English medium.
3. Ensure you focus on their studies and study with them in pursuing their excellence.
4. 10th and 12th results are crucial and their studies should be monitored closely. If they are finding it difficult, counsel them in a friendly manner.
5. If there is an inclination towards sports or other hobbies, kindly pursue it very seriously at professional level.
6. Post 10th result, kindly assess their potential and select the stream suitable to kid's acumen. Kindly put Kid's interest on priority.
7. In case you find it challenging, kindly approach any educated senior in your area to guide you in the matter.
8. Once they are convinced, ask them to excel in every semester and not wait till final year.
9. Start advertising the vacancies of employment news in every masjid. Every Friday, people can understand where they can apply.
10. Ensure that women are actively involved in some financial activities. If they are educated, that's good, if not, they can be supported to take up some small businesses, may be if it's tuitions, preparing tiffins, tailoring, home science, designing, consultancy, parlours, etc.
11. There are multiple distance learning courses offered. At Least one entrepreneurial course can be pursued.
12. Maintain financial discipline. Invest at least 1/5th of your earnings, preferably in some fixed returns like ppf, etc.
13. Abide to law of land all the times. Do not give any chance to enforcement agencies to spoil the image of community. Be it wearing a helmet, seatbelts, rash driving, carriers at airports, slaughtering cow, etc. Lets not give anyone an opportunity to blame our community.
14. Your enemies are not people of other religions, they can't be.. Your enemy is illiteracy, unemployment, poverty, firkaparasti, etc. Fight them out. And to fight these challenges, you don't need support of any government.
15. As you don't need support of  governments, don't malign them unnecessary and give other sane people chance to malign and form an opinion about you. Every action is going to have an equal reaction.
16. Use Portals like CPGRAMS, state grievance redressal mechanisms extensively to raise ur concerns against d government offices so as to find timely resolution.
17. Don't waste money on lavish marriages, high end phones, parties, etc. Conserve for establishing in better future.
18. Doctors be advised to prescribe generic medicines to the patients so that they don't spend unnecessary savings for branded medicines. The list of the generic stores is available on many websites.
19. In case of disasters faced by humanity, case in point is Surat tragedy, the local Muslims can support the victims in whichever way possible. We don't have to teach anyone anything about religion, we have to show case the good virtues taught to us by our ancestors.
20. Your kurta, pajama, dadhi, topi is your uniform. If you spit in open, smoke, urinate, use abusive words, stalk, a by stander near you is not going to observe that some zahir, ismael, imtiaz, etc was uneducated.. They judge you as Muslims, and nothing wrong on their part, as that is what uniform conveys, the ideals of community. So be doubly conscious.
21. Adopt atleast two families, who in turn adopt other two, if not financially, atleast guide them educationally.
            Conclusion: Self retrospect and trying to achieve the level of Momin is the solution. It doesn't mean going to jungle with tasbeeh and forget the world. It is like everyone, poor and rich, educated and uneducated, ulema and non-ulema, women and men etc. has to try this.Sachar committee addressed only socio economic situation, people are making us fool saying it has solution 4 all issues that we are facing today. It is infact making ummah hopeless from the mercy of Allah SWT. We Muslims should seek solutions in Quran and the life of Prophet .

Something About Education

During my three years in university, I came across a variety of teachers and students. I learnt many things during these three years but at the same time I noticed many more facts about teachers and students. Maximum of the students goes through a total change in their behavior, attitude and thought process, sensitive age and dynamic atmosphere are the main factors responsible for the change in the personality of the students. An important role is also played by friends, class and hostel mates, teachers and other people around. In both positive and negative ways youth got influenced by the atmosphere.                                                                                                              Not all, but few teachers highly affect the view point and thought process of the students. While observing this factor, for the first time I realizes that why governments install their ideological supporter teachers, professors, chancellors and vice chancellors in the educational institutions. After 15 July, 2016 coup in Turkey, government fired thousands of the professors from universities because they were know for anti government view point. In the concern of our surroundings, here is an adverse effect. Our country, societies and educational institutions are not education oriented. We spent a tiny percentage of our GDP on the education and research, same is the case with our domestic income. Nor government neither people are ready to spent on education.
              Do anyone accept or not but maximum students in our country are studying for a job and future security. Because healthcare, education and other basic facilities are expensive in our country so we cannot blame students and families but this trend has made our education system only more stressful and full of the cut-throat competition. There are few government institutions who are providing good facilities so people become prone to approach the private sector, this is where whole mess begins. Government needs to  generate more employment opportunities for the youth as per their skills, providing adequate employment is the only solution of this problem.       
                                                                                              China is the great example for us who provided education and employment to their massive population and  now they are enjoying the edge over rest of the world in all fields. In their case this all become possible only with planing and dedicated leadership. India have a great potential in service sector, manufacturing and IT. We need some more organised and sincere efforts. India have a large market and work force but less entrepreneurs, this is the result of unproductive education system.
                                                                                              So whenever we see a student failing, we must keep in the mind that he/she might be a sufferer of the system and atmosphere. In Israel there is a common trend in all business schools and universities, all students are provided with 1000$ and they have to earn 10,000 $ from that amount in certain period, unless they don't fulfill this criteria and are not given their MBA degree. This is the best example of practical implementation of bookish education. We need this kind of serious efforts in our country.

हमेशा देर कर देता हूँ मैं

ज़रूरी बात कहनी हो 
कोई वादा निभाना हो 
उसे आवाज़ देनी हो 
उसे वापस बुलाना हो 
हमेशा देर कर देता हूँ मैं
 
मदद करनी हो उसकी 
यार का ढाँढ़स बंधाना हो 
बहुत देरीना रास्तों पर 
किसी से मिलने जाना हो 
हमेशा देर कर देता हूँ मैं 

बदलते मौसमों की सैर में 
दिल को लगाना हो 
किसी को याद रखना हो 
किसी को भूल जाना हो 
हमेशा देर कर देता हूँ मैं 

किसी को मौत से पहले 
किसी ग़म से बचाना हो 
हक़ीक़त और थी कुछ 
उस को जा के ये बताना हो 
हमेशा देर कर देता हूँ मैं
