Bangalore: The inauguration of the new office of the well-known social organisation, Fajr Trust, located in Thani Sandara, Gulistan city of Bangalore, took place recently in a dignified ceremony at Faizi Masjid, Thani Sandara. The event saw enthusiastic participation from esteemed personalities and local residents. The office was inaugurated by Mr. Khadim Nabi Khan, a senior member of Fajr Trust.
On this occasion, a review of the welfare services provided by the trust to the underprivileged and needy was presented. Speaking about the objectives of the trust, Mr. Masood, a member of Fajr Trust, stated that its key mission is to encourage people to attend Fajr prayers in congregation, attain the blessings of Fajr, work towards eradicating poverty among Muslims in the Thani Sandara area, and promote education.
Another member of Fajr Trust, Mr. Burhanuddin, recited and explained Surah Al-A’raf, Ayah 34. He emphasised that Allah grants every nation a fixed time to prove itself. Those who use this time wisely to please Allah will succeed, while those who stray from His guidance and become engrossed in worldly life will face failure and punishment in the Hereafter. He stressed the importance of self-accountability in all our actions.
Fajr Trust is a welfare organisation dedicated to serving the Muslim residents of Bhartiya City, Nikoo Homes, Sobha City, Piccadilly, and other housing societies in the Thani Sandara area.
Under its microfinance programme, Fajr Trust has provided interest-free financial assistance to over 100 individuals. Additionally, in a very short period, the trust has distributed 21 sewing machines to support needy families. To promote education, the “School Re-enrolment Programme” has facilitated the return of 30 children to school, covering their fees, books, and other essentials.
Furthermore, the “Masjid Musalla Programme” has been launched in two different slum areas to provide Islamic education for children and to establish regular congregational prayers. Considering the employment needs of the underprivileged, 15 individuals were provided with pushcarts to sell fruits and vegetables. Additionally, 25 deserving families received financial aid to help with marriage expenses.
On this occasion, Advocate Mohammad Naushad provided insights on income tax and other legal requirements.
