CONFERENCE AND RALLY

Conference and Rally for Religious Harmony
Mankind has witnessed more destruction in its attitude of intolerance than the destruction caused by natural calamities like flood, fire & war. JIH since its inception has given top priority to eradicate, this menace of intolerance. It has tried to remove the ill will and hatred formed between different communities. Mangalore has witnessed the culmination of such efforts of the Jamaat recently when it organized a historic conference of religious amity in Nehru Maidan which was addressed by eminent spiritual leaders of different religions. Prior to this a successful religious amity campaign was held throughout the district which was acclaimed by the media for its peace establishing effect. A big rally was also organized in which a cross section of the society irrespective of cast and creed participated. It was lead by prominent leaders of different religions.An important feature of this campaign was the launching of Sauhardha Vahini Message of communal harmony was disseminated from this Vahini using folders, short movie etc. through out the district to create much needed awareness among the general public. This Vahini was flagged off by the then Distinct Commissioners (DC) M. Mahesh Rao. We are fortunate enough to have a permanent body of scholars of different religions by name Dharmika Sauharda Vedike to oversee the communal atmosphere prevailing in the district from time to time and take suitable measures whenever such occasion arises to maintain communal harmony.

SOCIAL SERVICE UNIT

Social Service Unit (SSU)

Accomplishment of innumerable needs of people depends on the co operation of others, a favorable environment and appropriate methodology rather than an individuals all round efforts alone More so in the case of helpless people like orphans, widows, homeless and destitute. Islam the divine guidance for the entire humanity emphasizes more on compassion fellow beings. It says Allah shows mercy to then who are merciful to others. Striving to meet the requirements of the needy is an act of jihad, service to the creatures is the service of Allah.

Jamaat has adopted social service as one of its most important work, trying to inculcate the spirit of social service in its cadre and community to serve mankind irrespective of caste & creed. Social service unit is an integral part of jamaat’s local units. A brief report of such services by the Mangalore unit in last 5 years is given below.
