Reforms introduced for the Muslim community
In the Jamaat programme, reforms inside the Muslim community have also been given considerable attention. The community will be made more aware. There will be an effort to sway them into embracing Islam and becoming its embodiment. The elements of Islam that the reformist movements have not given much attention to will receive special attention. Such Islamic teachings will be emphasised, and efforts will be made to harmonise the attitude of Muslims towards them. For instance, marriage should be simple, the dowry ritual should be abolished, women should be given a share of inheritance, women’s rights should be paid, honesty in trade and financial matters should be implemented, cleanliness be observed, and good behaviour towards Muslim and non-Muslim neighbours must be practised.
Jamaat-e-Islami focused on imparting education
The Jamaat has determined that education will receive significant priority. The educational system ought to be open to all students and free from cultural control. All citizens should have easy access to education, which should be provided on the basis of moral principles. These are the Jamaat’s top three concerns with regard to education. As a result, there will be ongoing efforts to get the government’s attention for these goals. The various Jamaat branches would do their best to work on these issues as well. Jamaat will work to improve the proportion of educated Muslims and members of other underdeveloped groups. Their educational issues should be resolved while the literacy rate and GER should rise. The establishment of new educational institutions in various regions of the country is also an important part of this plan.
Economic empowerment of the Muslim community prioritized
An important component of the new plan is the economic empowerment of the Muslim community and other backward groups and also improvement in various other domains. Another critical portion of the plan is to make efforts for institutionalizing microfinance as a movement and providing interest-free loans to help the poor financially and become self-reliant. It has also been decided that along with the various works of social service that the Jamaat is doing, this time special efforts will be made in the field of public health and the healthcare industry. Special cells will be set up in all major cities to provide timely guidance for medical treatment and to protect people from being financially exploited when they seek that treatment.
The recovery, development, and appropriate use of Waqf (endowment) properties are obligations that the government, trustees, and populace will be made aware of. For this, specialised cells will also be created.
One of the key aims of Jamaat-e-Islami Hind’s activities will be to collaborate with all classes and individuals who value justice in order to achieve peace and justice throughout the nation. Our community should be free of ills like all forms of cruelty, injustice, sedition, corruption, and hatred through a fight against prejudice, fear, and terror.
