Alkhidmat Karachi recently held a five-day joint workshop for teachers from the Central, North, Gulberg, Quaideen, and South districts held at Taha Mosque, Buffer Zone where teachers were introduced to modern methods related to Qaida, Nazira, and Tajweed. The workshop, that concluded with a certificate distribution ceremony, featured daily lectures by Nazim-e-Aala of Jamiat Ittehad-ul-Ulama Maulana Abdul Waheed, Director of Jamia Imam Nu’man bin Thabit, Maulana Habib Ahmad Hanafi,, Head Teacher Maulana Irfan Adil, Director of Iqra Hussainabad and Chairman of Union Council Samanabad, Maulana Faisal Sheikh, who educated the teachers on modern teaching techniques, qualities of a teacher, child psychology, challenges in Quranic education, and classroom discipline. Mufti Yaqoob Mansoori also briefed the teachers on the rules of Qaida Nazira and Tajweed. Addressing the ceremony, Executive Director Alkhidmat Karachi, Rashid Qureshi, stated that Alkhidmat’s teachers should utilize modern tools in educating and training children to understand the rapidly changing world. Also present and speaking at the event were Ameer Jamaat-e-Islami District North, Tariq Mujtaba Khan, Ameer District Kemari and Director Iqra Academy Buffer Zone, Fazal Ahad, as well as Manager Alkhidmat Madaris Karachi, Muhammad Hanif Akbar. Rashid Qureshi further stated that while modern technology has its uses, it can never replace affection and a nurturing relationship. A teacher’s kind and supportive attitude helps children progress. Teaching and raising children is a great responsibility — its reward is great, but so is the consequence of negligence. He added that there are no age limits when it comes to learning and teaching. Islamic teachings encourage the pursuit of knowledge from the cradle to the grave. He also emphasized that in order to understand the challenges of the modern era, using modern technology is essential. Its use in spreading and promoting religion also helps save time.
