AN EYE-OPENING ARTICLE ON MADRASSAS:
Allamah Iqbaal had said: “Let these Madrassas remain as they are. If these Madrassas and their Dervishes who sit on their broken mats do not remain, then remember that you will be in the same condition as the Muslims I have seen in Andalusia and Granada”. A few days before Eid-ul-Adhaa has passed. I was riding my bike the day after Eid when I passed in front of a Madrassa, I saw a few innocent children standing at its gate, their faces were full of light [Nooraniyat]. I went to them and greeted them, they greeted me with great respect. I said son what are you doing here? They said, "Brother, we memorize the Qur’aan here." I said did not you go home on Eid? Couple of them went inside with tears in their eyes and the rest said in a hoarse voice that no one came to pick us up, we have come from far away Chitraal. Babaa had said that I do not have fare, so you stay there.
