ACADEMIC FORUM OF THE ISLAMIC MOVEMENT (AFIM)
KANO CHAPTER CONDUCTS IVC PROGRAMME.
The academic forum of
the Islamic movement, Kano conducted it's
Islamic vocational course (IVC) at Fudiyyah
Nursery and Primary School Rijiyar Lemo Kano
from Wednesday-Saturday 24th-27th
Rabiul Thani 1429 with the soul aim of
thought enhancement, improvement of
knowledge as well as morals.
Participants who came from
different part of the city and also from
primary, secondary and tertiary institutions
benefited from the range of lectures and
interactive sessions. Mal Mujitaba Tasiu
and Mal Muhammad Nasir Sakkwato delivered
lecture on Quranic studies, while Mal
Abubakar Tsangarawa touched on computer
studies. Studies on moral upbringing as well
as interactive sessions were held. In a quiz
organised between male and female
participants, the male pupil were
victorious. In an attempt in getting closer
to Allah (T) prayer sessions and tahajjud
(night prayers) were held in other to
improve on the capacity of the soul.
“The deviation of Man” was
the topic given to Mal Turi and delivered by
him at the IVC. In the introduction Mal
Turi expressed that to understand why man
often deviates from the path that he was
asked to follow there is a need to
really understand the main aim of the life
in this world. He reminded the audience of
the aim as stated by Allah (T) in the Quran
“I have not created Man and Jin but for them
to worship”. But if it is so why does
Man deviates from his main task? He
went on to itemise the reasons that include;
·
Unlawful
envy exhibited by man for shear envy
thinking all what is right centres around
him not any other person. He went on to give
example of the envy exhibited by Kabila that
made him to kill his brother Habila just
because Habila’s sacrifice was the one
accepted by Allah (T). So also is the case
of the refusal of some companion of the
Prophet (S) to accept the vicegerency of
Imam Ali (KW) after the demise of the
Prophet (S).
·
Injustice; especially by placing things not
in their rightful positions.
·
Illiteracy that forms a strong component of
evils, and is the source of preventing the
light that directs the affairs of the life
in this world.
·
Misplacement of priority in giving
preference to the life of this world rather
than the life hereafter.
In trying to give the solutions to the
stated causes of deviation of Man, Mal Turi
mentioned;
·
Gearing effort towards establishing strong
communion with Allah (T) through the
reflections on the messages of Allah (T) as
contained in the Quran. As well as putting
various efforts in getting closer to Allah
(T).
·
Be upright in undertaking of all religious
acts as contained in the teachings of the
Prophet (S) particularly the non-compulsory
ones.
·
Attending all activities and functions that
are beneficial eg taalimat, lecture
presentations etc.
·
Trying to associate oneself with friend who
enjoys one to do good and avoid bad acts and
behaviours.
At the end of the IVC, participants
expressed happiness for attending the IVC
programme because of its immense benefits.
Mal Farouk Abdullahi in his speech expressed
his gratitude to all that gave a helping
hand in making the programme
successful. Likewise he went on to express
efforts geared towards improving the
children’s subsequent IVC programmes.
