Community Luncheon Hosted by Makki Academy
Zakat Distribution Committee of Makki Academy hosted community luncheon for refugees brothers and sisters. The aim was to meet, feed, provide clothing to the refugees family and give them the feel of family. These brothers, sisters and little kids have been thru so much. They had to flee their country of love to save their lives and families. The program allowed the locals to meet with refugee families from across the Chicagoland area and vice-versa. Many thanks to all the volunteers and organizers.
Tribute to Great Hazalkar Late Sufi Manubari held at Bolton yesterday.
More than 500 people attended a Grand Gujarati Mushaira in memory of the Late Sufi Manubari in Memory Lane Hall, Bolton, UK, on 19th November 2017.
Tributes were paid by various speakers, poets and scholars including Siraj Patel, Mahek Tankarvi, Kadam Tankarvi, Adam Tankarvi, Iqbal Dhoriwala, Mohammad Munshi, Dilaver Dasanwala, Ibrahim Bhailok, Yousuf Bhailok and Abbasali Sufi. They all praised Sufi Sahib’s poetry and his message for social reform and social empowerment. His poetry was humorous but also had serious messages!
Poets from Lancashire and Yorkshire recited their work remembering Sufi Sahib including Mahek Sahib, Siraj Sahib, Kadam Sahib, Gul Sahib, Shabbir Sahib, Ismail Sahib, Masoom Sahib, Babar Sahib, Haroon Sahib, Aziz Sahib and Pathik Sahib.
Imtiaz Patel Varediawala, stage secretary, also paid a great tribute to Sufi Sahib, describing him as one of the revolutionary poets of our time.
Dr Adam Tankarvi, while conducting the Mushaira session, remembered many of Sufi Sahib’s great and ever green poems, which brought smiles to all. He also pointed out that Sufi Sahib’s poetry was full of wisdom and there was something for all to learn from his poetry. Sufi Sahib’s contribution to Gujarati literature and his tireless efforts to bring some radical positive changes to society has been outstanding and worth praising. He has left a big vacuum in the world of Gujarati poetry and especially in the world of Mushaira!
We will miss him but we will remember him for ever through his poetry.
The event ended with some positive and powerful messages including how we need to connect future generations with our culture, heritage and roots. We must recognise individuals who are working hard for community development. We must preserve and promote our culture, heritage and language!
Guests enjoyed dinner as well – Gujarati Dal Chawal and Soji!

મદ્રસ્સાએ મુસ્તુફાઈય્યાહ ટંકારીઆ ના તુલ્બાઓનો ઇસ્લામિક ક્વિઝ કોન્ટેસ્ટ પ્રોગ્રામ યોજાયો
આધુનિકતા તરફ હરણફાળ ભરતી દુનિયા માં મદ્રસ્સાએ મુસ્તુફાઈય્યાહ ટંકારીઆ પણ ડિજિટલ ક્ષેત્રે એક ડગલું આગળ વધવાની કોશિશ કરી રહ્યું છે. જેમાં આજ રોજ કોણ બનેગા કરોડપતિની ધબ પર મદ્રસ્સાએ મુસ્તુફાઈય્યાહ ટંકારીઆ ના તુલ્બાઓનો ઇસ્લામિક ક્વિઝ કોન્ટેસ્ટ પ્રોગ્રામ યોજાયો હતો. જેમાં બે બે ટૂલબાઓની પૈર બનાવી દીની પ્રશ્નો દરેક પૈર ને પૂછી ભાગ લેનાર તથા શ્રોતાજનો તથા મદ્રસ્સા ના બીજા ટૂલબાઓના દીની જ્ઞાન માં વધારો કર્યો હતો. આ પ્રોગ્રામ માં પ્રશ્ન સ્ક્રિન પર પૂછવામાં આવતા હતા અને જવાબો પણ ઓપ્શન તરીકે સ્ક્રીન પર મુકવામાં આવતા હતા અને ભાગ લેનાર તુલ્બાઓ સારી રીતે જવાબો આપતા હતા.
ખરેખર આ એક સરાહનીય રચનાત્મક કાર્ય છે અને આ કાર્ય નો તમામ જશ આપણા ગામના નાસીબુલગની ચતી તથા કારી ઇમરાન સાહબ કોવારીવાળા ને જાય છે. અલ્લાહ તઆલા એમને વધુ માં વધુ આવા કાર્યો કરવાનો હોસલો બુલંદ રાખે.
Noble Initiative by Our Tankarvi Brother…
