Ashfaq Ahmad, Barlekha-Juri (Moulvibazar) Correspondent:
As part of the nationwide public engagement campaign, the Ameer of Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami, Dr. Shafiqur Rahman, addressed a Da’wah meeting organized by the Juri Upazila Jamaat on Tuesday (April 29) at the Juri Upazila premises. In his speech as the chief guest, he stated, “We are not fighting to become President, Prime Minister, Minister, Member of Parliament, village council members, councilors, or mayors. We are fighting for the salvation of humanity in this world and the hereafter.”
Presided over by Upazila Jamaat Ameer Abdul Hai Helal and conducted by Secretary Md. Azim Uddin, Dr. Shafiqur Rahman further said, “Whether we are in government or not is not the primary issue. Allah has said, ‘I am the owner of power to give and take.’ Therefore, our struggle is not for power but for humanity. However, do not think that Jamaat will not take responsibility if entrusted. If Allah wills and instills love in people’s hearts, He will make that arrangement Himself.”
The event featured several notable speakers, including Sylhet Metropolitan Jamaat Ameer Fakhrul Islam, Sylhet District Ameer Mawlana Habibur Rahman, Moulvibazar District Ameer Engineer M. Shahed Ali, Mawlana Aminul Islam (candidate for the Moulvibazar-1 constituency, Barlekha-Juri), Moulvibazar District Nayeb-e-Ameer Mawlana Abdur Rahman, Secretary Principal Yameer Ali, former Vice Chairman of Barlekha Upazila Parishad and Upazila Ameer Emadul Islam, Moulvibazar Municipal Jamaat Ameer Hafez Tajul Islam, District Ulama Division Secretary Hafez Nazmul Islam, Juri Upazila Jamaat Assistant Secretary Mawlana Lokman Hossain, President of the Upazila Labor Welfare Federation Abdullah Al Mamun Surman, and Juri Upazila Jamaat’s Working Committee Member Lutfor Rahman Azadi. Others included Lecturer Mawlana Abdul Qadir, President of Jaifarnagar Union Jamaat Advocate Sakhawat Hossain, and Vice President of the Upazila Industrial and Business Welfare Foundation Mujibur Rahman Azizi.
Additionally, Dr. Shafiqur Rahman addressed several other gatherings, including a meeting with non-Muslims at the Kulaura Municipal Hall.
