Tauheed International comes to Tanzania

The Quarterly Journal, Tauheed International was launched in Tanzania this evening at the Dar es Salaam Imambara following a majlis by Dr. Kalbe-e-Sadiq who is also the founder of the publication.  During the launching ceremony, Mehboob Somji, the Chairman of the Dar es Salaam Jamat Tabligh Section narrated excerpts from the 16 page glossy issue outlining the good quality of articles carried. He also briefed the attendance on the background of Dr. Kalbe-e-Sadiq who is a famous self-styled orator well known among the Muslims of the sub-continent and also popular among the Muslims of Europe and America where his scholarly speeches have been heard for the past 24 years.

Dr. Sadiq, a resident of Lucknow, India is the General Secretary of the Tauheedul Muslimeen Trust and the Vice President of the Muslim Personal Law Board in India. The Tauheedul Muslimeen Trust is a non-profit and charity registered Trust which works at an international level with the primary objective of uplifting educational values in the community. Dr. Sadiq did his Doctorate in Arabic in the year 1971 from Aligarh Muslim University in India following which his thesis comprising of almost 700 pages was published by Dairat-al, Ma'arif-al-Islamia, Hyderabad (India). He professes on unity amongst the Muslims at large and is generally above sectarianism. He is also a powerful voice for the Muslims in India and during a recent incident on the occasion of   Milad-un-Nabi, which was also attended by Inder Kumar Gujral, the Prime Minister of India, he made a fervent speech addressing the plight of Muslims in India. He said that while communal
parties openly express their vendetta against the Muslims, the so-called secular parties are hampering the progress of Muslims by restricting their access to good education and fruitful trade. He supported his arraignment with startling facts and figures. 

During his short visit to Dar es Salaam, Dr. Sadiq is accompanied by the Chief Editor of Tauheed International, Hadi Askari who said that the primary objectives of Tauheed International is to improve communication of thoughts, ideas and news among the Muslims and to inculcate Islamic knowledge into the minds of the younger generation. He said the first word of the revelation of the Holy Qur'an, "Iqra" which means "Read", by itself underlines the importance of reading in Islam.
