Happy Help

Tumakuru, the educity of Karnataka is lacking far behind with its account of Muslim Education. Our institutions here work as a lieu to support their educational thrive. Ours is the first initiative to have accommodated both spiritual and secular education in a string in the area. 100+ students study in two schools and the parents are getting adequate Counselling. Moreover, The Da’ees lead religious instructions and spiritual sessions.

Often students and parents fail to make practical and effective use of School vacations. We have been arranging vacation camps and study tours for years. Through the program, we have scores of experiences that left a massive impression on each student’s life. It is really pleasurable that many students come up with the idea to become a Mutha’llim and join our academy.

Masjid is the spiritual room occupied by the believers. Congregational prayers and devotional supplications are the spirit of Masjid. Though, many Masajid in the border villages were locked down for years. Unfortunately, most of them are being opened only for weekly Jumua prayers and the system of daily congregational prayers were hardly performed in the area. Sometimes it may take kilometres to reach in a Masjid and this even causes negligence of prayer. This milieu is really evoking pity and urged us to shoulder them. Now, we run 10+ Masajid and Mahall systems as well. We could influence them all by our visionary mediation. Subsequently they are on a seismic change nowadays. The spiritual gatherings assembled in Masajid are winning people’s attention; hence, nonbelievers attend each session. The Annual Da’wa sermon of Happy Help chairman Dr. Farooq Naeemi Al Bukhari plays a noticeable role among them. It is also the biggest program of the kind organized in Eastern Palakkad for last 9 years.

We extend a helping hand towards hundreds of people who are starving for food, jobless with no shelter and to the people dwelling in small huts made out of woods and leaves with leakage. Every month we provide financial aid to 20 families in collaboration with ICF Jiddha, Food and medical help for bedridden patients, widows, Home rent for the needy homless, Edu help and fostering poor students are some of the undertakings we do. Besides, we come up with substantial amount of relief and charity works in Ramadan and other special occasions. Everything is done by the contributions of philanthropists all over the world and still we have to raise massive funds for the cause.

We know many around us who didn’t have time or circumstances that makes it possible to learn Islamic knowledge in their good old days. They are willing to learn as of now but the diligent daily routine may be often disappointing them. Islamic distance school is a consolation at their comfort. This is a certificate course for those who study Islamic lessons at home in their leisure time. It is characterized by a systematic syllabus, precise contact classes and exams. About 300 learners are part of it today.

There are people great in number around us who craves to know and learn Islam. We properly communicate with them, render Islamic lessons, and do needful for their proselytization. Hundreds of people have been a part of this so far including eloped girls and women. We help them to find a shelter and rehabilitate them.

The Christian missionaries who had a overwhelming influence in the educational sector of eastern Palakkad started to affect Muslim lives in the area. In such a condition, we initiated Yes English School as an alternative to impart religious knowledge with the secular one. There are currently 103 students and teachers.

The Urdu Madrassa held under Happy Help for the locals of Tumakuru is functioning well. It is still necessary to set up more Madrassas here where religious education has been alienated. About a hundred students are part of it.

Using alcohol and drugs at an early age is a norm in the border villages. There are thousands of people here who are addicted to alcohol, cannabis and other introxicants. Verbal and physical altercation among family members and police cases are occurring on daily basis. Happy Help often finds solutions to this problem by organizing de addiction programs. Proper counseling and related treatments are provided for those who are severely addicted. At the same time, with the help of government, we organize creative awareness classes to prevent the new generation from being affected.

The Masjid at Manimuthu Nagar in Kozhinjampara Panchayath was once insecure. It was later taken over by us and enhanced as a key establishment of Happy Help. Garib Nawaz Academy stands here. Today, The Academy is a beacon light for the village and the surrounding areas where Islamic education is alienating. With the approval of Jamiathul Hind Al islamiyya, 15 students are studying religious texts (Kithab) and higher secondary education in Kerala syllabus. Five languages, including Tamil, practical da’wa training and systematic methods are feature of the institution. It’s pleasurable to see that local students and people model the exemplary lifestyle of the Muthaallims and they even take part in rituals.

The border villages of east Palakkkad is extremely dry and apathetic, a large community is living in poverty and illiteracy and people are having no religious practices. Happy Help is working actively here for the last 10 years, to make their domain a better place to live, over 60 villages from Kozhinjampara to Madhukkarai adjacent to Koyambathur in the Pollachi route.
There are 13 vigilant Daees who know the pulse of each villages with hundreds of heartbreaking experiences. They are always willing to visit from house to houses listening to their problems. Today the villages hold them close to their hearts. They are sorting out their problems with the presence of the Daees. In many areas where there were no any sign of religious values, the spring of awakening has come in to bloom. The closed Madrassas and Masajid are reopened; the villages are overjoyed to have regained the religious spirit lost somewhere. Circumstantial needs kept us here, now the missionary eyes that waited us to leave have begun to close. Still we have long ways to go to know the pulse of the country sides that awaits us.

It is our duty to teach the children the Islamic lesson in a society lives in the abyss of ignorance. Those who do not even know Surah Al fathiha, Many are committing great sins because of ignorance. Madrassas are born out of the need for correction. These are the Madrassas where even people in their forties and fifties come to learn from the Alphabet. We can have a bit comfort knowing the fact that the younger generation is literate. Today, about 300 students are studying in 10 Madrassas. It is gratifying that the students are being role models for their parents at home. Rather, holiday and geriatric Madrassas are also running under our team.

Mixed marriages and elopement of girls are happening on daily basis here. Hundreds of girls have been victimized so far. The campus is facilitated in such a way as to create a completely Islamic atmosphere, with 30 students and four teachers including two Usthabis. It’s exuberantly joyful that by the time the students complete their studies here, a religious atmosphere is being developed in their household. The graduates are working as Ustabis (Religious teacher) in the villages where there is no option for religious education. They accomplish capacity to organize women classes in their own area.
