Eman Sakina “Read! In the name of your Lord Who has created (all that exists). He has created man from a clot (a piece of thick coagulated blood). Read! And your Lord is the Most Generous,Who has taught(the writing) by the pen. He has taught man that which he knew not.”                                                       -Al Quran (96:1-5) The first verse of the Holy Scripture Al Quran was revealed with the instruction of education. The first word  Iqra  is a command that means ‘read’ in the Arabic language and that implies the concepts of ‘learning’ ‘exploring’ and ‘seeking enlightenment. This manifestly demonstrates that reading (knowledge) is the way to approach the creator of all that exists.  Most of the Prophets sought to Allah for increasing their knowledge. Say for example Hazrat Ibrahim said, “My Lord! Bestow  Hukum  (religious knowledge, right judgment of the affairs and Prophet-hood) on me and join me with the righteous.”  Prophet Mohammad (saw) declared, “ Ana MadinatulIl

New Delhi A little girl from Kashmir had caused a stir on social media with her video in which she is reporting the bad condition of the road close to her home, somewhere in Kashmir. In the video orignally posted on Twitter by Sajjid Yusuf Shah on Monday, the girl in pink jacket, wearing duck boots and holding a lapel mike turns a reporter to show the bad condition of lanes and bylanes around her house after the recent heavy rainfall and snowfall.

Srinagar Even in this cold weather, it’s not uncommon to see girls in sports dress working out as part of their routine to boost physical fitness for sports. This is despite sporadic efforts by the conflict-merchants supported by Pakistan who had tried to impose restrictions on the Kashmiri girls in their dress code and movement in vain.   However, it’s in the changing environment post the revocation of the special status of Jammu and Kashmir and crackdown on the separatist camps in Kashmir that Kashmiri girls have started excelling in sports as never before.   One of them is Arifa Bilal, the first woman from Jammu and Kashmir to win a gold medal in power-lifting. She has also become the first woman powerlifter gold medalist at the national level. She has won three more gold medals before the recent championship.   Arifa Bilal with his medals and trophies in the backdrop   He is also a black belt in the Sqay martial arts and has won five gold medals in the sport.

Afreen Hussain/Bengaluru The decision to restrict Muslim girl students from wearing hijab or headscarf when in classrooms by a government college in Chikkamagaluru district of Karnataka has drawn strong reactions from the students.  The order happened in response to a section of students protesting - they came to the college wearing “saffron” scarves and shawls demanding that the college’s specified dress code be in classrooms. The student group protested until the college authorities asked all the girl students to take off their headscarves before entering the classrooms. The degree college, however, clarified that the students are allowed to wear the hijab anywhere else on the college campus. Fiza Ziyad Fiza Ziyad, a master’s student hailing from Kerala said, “In a country that's supposed to be ‘secular’, no one has the authority to ask someone to not wear a hijab, especially an educational institution.
