Vidyananda Foundation's 'Eid Bazaar at Nominal Price'
Vidyananda Foundation’s ‘Eid Bazaar at Nominal Price’
“Food for 1 taka, Iftar for 1 taka, treatment for 1 taka” - this is how Vidyananda Foundation has made a place in the hearts of the helpless, poor and underprivileged people of Rajshahi by conducting all humanitarian activities. Even if the nominal price is kept at 1 rupee, the quality of the service provided is very good. Basically, the volunteers of the foundation are delivering this free humanitarian program to the poor with a token of 1 rupee. Which is being appreciated in all corners of Rajshahi.
In this market of rising commodity prices, the normal life of low-income people has been breathed into. The cost also increases the pressure on two handfuls of food. However, being a peddler of humanity, Vidyananda Foundation is reaching the mouths of these people sometimes with iftar, sometimes food, and sometimes first aid ferry. Which has conveyed a message of relief to the helpless people of slum area of Rajshahi.
It is known that this organization is distributing free iftar with a special plan around the month of Ramadan with food scheme for 1 taka throughout the year. Every day the volunteers of the organization are reaching the doorsteps of 400 families with Iftar. Besides, at the beginning of every week, they deliver Iftar to 1000 pedestrians and helpless people in 12 police stations through Rajshahi Metropolitan Police (RMP). Besides, on April 6 (Thursday), 400 destitute people broke fast at a community center with the help of Rajshahi Metropolitan Police at a token price of 1 rupee. The image of these helpless and distressed people sitting together with the policemen at Iftar also gave a different dimension to humanitarian policing activities.
Not only at the city center, but also at the upazila level, their humanitarian activities have received a response. Apart from this, in view of the upcoming Eid, the “Name only price” is starting on April 16. Those concerned think that this will also get a massive response. However, the planning is still ongoing as to what is going on in this Eid market.
The organization is working with healthy and helpless people in backward and slum areas including Shyampur, Middle Char, Charkhutar Mor, Bhadra Basti, Jamalpur, Fultala, Balur Ghat, Panchabati. The organization has made a place in the hearts of these underprivileged people through various humanitarian activities.
Iftar is being distributed to pedestrians every Saturday under the initiative of the foundation in coordination with RMP. Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police (Media) Rafiqul Alam is supervising the Iftar distribution program from the field level.
RMP Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police (Media) Rafiqul Alam said that the way Vidyananda Foundation has stood by the needy people in this Ramadan by supplying and making iftar items is very admirable. Especially in the current situation, this initiative of theirs was very necessary for these helpless people. RMP always welcomes such humanitarian initiatives. RMPO has sincerely extended its hand of maximum cooperation. It is the moral duty of each of us to stand beside these people even from our own place.
In this regard, Rajshahi in-charge of Vidyananda Foundation Moushumi Akhtar said that the free iftar distribution project was undertaken considering the destitute and helpless people in the month of Ramzan. The menu includes chicken tehri, eggs, dates, salat, coke and water, which is being distributed to 400 families every day. An arrangement of quality food is always made. Apart from this, the “Eid Bazaar at nominal price” program has also been taken up to share the joy of Ramadan. It will start from next 16th.
What is going to happen in the world on Friday, 15 Ramadan?
What is going to happen in the world on Friday, 15 Ramadan? What is going to happen on 15 Ramadan? Social media is abuzz with rumors that the world will be destroyed. The same discussion is going on everywhere. Is there a clear explanation of the Qur'an-Hadith about this? For several days, only one thing has been going around in the minds of common people. What is going to happen in the world on Friday, 15 Ramadan? Especially in several countries including Bangladesh, this confusion is spreading even more as this year’s Ramadan begins on Friday. But one thing that is not understood is that in many countries including Saudi Arabia, fasting does not start on Friday and 15th of Ramadan is also not a Friday. But are they the exception? Will they survive the destruction of the world? The recent spread of the destruction of the world is a rumor. Because the biggest sign of doomsday is the appearance of Imam Mahdi. The Aqeedah of Ahle Sunnat wal Jamaat in the light of the prophecy narrated by Nabiji sallallahu alaihi wa sallam is that the promised appearance of Imam Mahdi in the last age is true. Imam Mahdi will be from the Prophet’s family. It has been mentioned in the hadith- Hazrat Umm Salma Radiyallahu Anhu said, I heard Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam saying, “The Mahdi will be from the Fatimi clan of Ahl al-Bayt.” (Abu Dawud 4284) What will be the condition before the destruction of the world? Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam also said, ‘If there is only one day left before the Day of Resurrection, Allah will prolong that day and send a person from my family. His name will match my name and his father’s name will match my father’s.’ (Abu Dawud 4282) Hazrat Hozaifa Radiyallahu Anhu narrated, His appearance will be like a bright star.’ (Kanjul Ummal 38666) Hazrat Abu Saeed Khudri Radiyallahu Anhu narrated that Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said, Imam Mahdi will have a broad forehead and a long and narrow nose.’ (Abu Dawud 4285) The situation of the world will be terrible in that time before the doomsday or the destruction of the world. It has been mentioned in the hadith- Hazrat Abu Hurairah Radiyallahu Anhu narrated that the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, said, By that great being! In Whose hand is my life, there will surely come upon mankind a time when the killer will not understand why he killed and the slain will not understand why he was killed.’ (Muslim 2908) 15 Is the description of the hadith about Ramadan correct? There is a hadith related to the signs of the revelation of Imam Mahdi. Some Friday will be on the 15th of Ramadan. On that day there will be a loud noise in the sky. The hadith is narrated by Firoz Daylami, Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, “There will be a sound in one Ramadan”. The companions asked, 'O Messenger of Allah! At the beginning or in the middle of Ramadan? Or at the end?’ Nabiji sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, 'No, rather in the middle of Ramadan. Right in the middle of Ramadan night. A voice will come from the sky on Friday night. 70,000 people will faint and 70,000 will become deaf at the prevalence of that word. Scholars of hadith have identified this narration of hadith as very weak and many as invalid and fabricated hadith. The description given is not correct. Rather, at the end of this hadith, the Companions asked, O Messenger of Allah! Who among your Ummah will be safe on that day? Nabiji Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said, 'Those who stay in their homes, prostrate themselves and seek refuge in Allah and say Allahu Akbar in a loud voice. Another word will come later. The first word will be Jibreel’s, the second will be Satan’s. According to the tradition of events described in this long hadith, the word will come in Ramadan. The fiercest battle will take place in Shawwal. The tribes of Arabia will revolt in the month of Zilqad. The incident of Hajj looting will happen in the month of Zilhaj. And the beginning of Muharram is danger for my Ummah, the end is liberation. The vehicle on which a Muslim will be liberated on that day will be considered better to him than a house full of entertainment worth one lakh.’ (Al Muzamul Kabir Lit Tabarani 18/332/853) About this hadith, Sheikh Albani (RA) said, the hadith is a fabrication. Ibn al-Jawzi mentions the hadith in his book Maujuat i.e. collection of fabricated hadiths. (3/191) Imam Zahabi said, the hadith is invalid. (Tartibul Ma'juat: 278) Haysami says that the narration of this hadith has a narrator named Abdul Wahhab Ibnuj Zahhaq who is Matruk or apostate in the eyes of the Muhaddiseen. (Mazmauz Zawaid: 7/313) Imam Ibnul Qayyim said, “Several hadiths of various events can be found by determining the date in advance. They are not Sahih.’ One of them is - 'There will be a sound on the Friday night of half Ramadan. 70,000 people will faint in this… 70,000 people will become dumb…’ (Al Manarul Munif: 96 pages) Muhaddisin Keram has expressed his opinion that the hadith containing loud words in the midnight of 15 Ramadan is not correct. So it is important to be careful of these baseless rumours. So be careful not to spread narratives that are not verifiably acceptable. There are many hadiths containing signs of the doomsday. It is necessary to discuss those hadiths as much as possible. It is important to seek forgiveness from Almighty Allah without listening to baseless rumours. Source: Jagonews

'Sexuality is a wonderful gift of God', what else did Pope Francis say?
‘Sexuality is a wonderful gift of God’, what else did Pope Francis say? Pope Francis openly discussed sexuality this time. According to him, there are few things as wonderful as sex. A documentary called 'The Pope Answers’ has been released by the Disney production company on Wednesday.
The documentary features Pope Francis discussing sexuality and abortion. Pope Francis had this discussion with ten adults in Rome last year. Part of that discussion is captured in the documentary. “Sex is a wonderful thing,” the Pope said.
If there is one wonderful gift of God in human life, it is sex.“ Pope Francis also commented on suicide. He said, "Expressing sexuality is a form of purity. If anyone expresses the contrary, then this sanctity is dishonored.” Source: Anandabazar Patrika.

Pentagon leaker arrested
The FBI has arrested a 21-year-old man in connection with the leak of secret military and intelligence documents of the US Department of Defense Pentagon online. The youth arrested on Thursday has been identified as Jack Douglas Tishera. He is a member of the US Air National Guard.
The leak has embarrassed the US in front of its allies around the world. Reuters reported that US federal agents arrested Teshera at his home in Dighton, Massachusetts.
Soon after the arrest, Tishara, dressed in shorts, T-shirt and sneakers, was quickly taken away in an armored vehicle. Dighton is a small wooded town about 50 miles south of Boston, Massachusetts.
Only eight thousand people live in the city. The leak was first reported in detail a week ago. It embarrasses the US as it exposes spying on allies and Ukraine’s military weakness.
Most of the leaked documents were posted on social media. In 2010, the WikiLeaks website leaked more than 700,000 secret documents, videos and diplomatic messages to the United States; Since then, this incident is being considered as the most serious security breach.
According to service records, Tishera was an Airman First Class at Otis Air National Guard Base in Massachusetts. He joined the Air National Guard in 2019 and worked as a ‘Cyber Transport Systems Journeyman’ or an IT specialist.
US Attorney General Merrick Garland told reporters that Tischera was being sought in connection with an ongoing investigation into allegations of the transfer, retention and unauthorized removal of classified national defense information. The FBI said its detectives conducted an “authorized raid” on a home in North Dighton, Massachusetts.
Tishera was taken into custody without incident, Garland said. Aerial news video showed two Tishera’s held behind the head being walked backwards towards an armored vehicle.
He was then handcuffed and placed in the back of a car. However, the US Department of Justice has not said what charges will be brought against Tishera. But he could face criminal charges for possessing and disseminating national defense information.
Teshera is expected to be arraigned Friday, a spokesman for the U.S. attorney’s office in Boston said. Source: BDNews

Vidyananda Foundation’s ‘Eid Bazaar at Nominal Price’
“Food for 1 taka, Iftar for 1 taka, treatment for 1 taka” - this is how Vidyananda Foundation has made a place in the hearts of the helpless, poor and underprivileged people of Rajshahi by conducting all humanitarian activities. Even if the nominal price is kept at 1 rupee, the quality of the service provided is very good. Basically, the volunteers of the foundation are delivering this free humanitarian program to the poor with a token of 1 rupee. Which is being appreciated in all corners of Rajshahi.
In this market of rising commodity prices, the normal life of low-income people has been breathed into. The cost also increases the pressure on two handfuls of food. However, being a peddler of humanity, Vidyananda Foundation is reaching the mouths of these people sometimes with iftar, sometimes food, and sometimes first aid ferry. Which has conveyed a message of relief to the helpless people of slum area of Rajshahi.
It is known that this organization is distributing free iftar with a special plan around the month of Ramadan with food scheme for 1 taka throughout the year. Every day the volunteers of the organization are reaching the doorsteps of 400 families with Iftar. Besides, at the beginning of every week, they deliver Iftar to 1000 pedestrians and helpless people in 12 police stations through Rajshahi Metropolitan Police (RMP). Besides, on April 6 (Thursday), 400 destitute people broke fast at a community center with the help of Rajshahi Metropolitan Police at a token price of 1 rupee. The image of these helpless and distressed people sitting together with the policemen at Iftar also gave a different dimension to humanitarian policing activities.
Not only at the city center, but also at the upazila level, their humanitarian activities have received a response. Apart from this, in view of the upcoming Eid, the “Name only price” is starting on April 16. Those concerned think that this will also get a massive response. However, the planning is still ongoing as to what is going on in this Eid market.
The organization is working with healthy and helpless people in backward and slum areas including Shyampur, Middle Char, Charkhutar Mor, Bhadra Basti, Jamalpur, Fultala, Balur Ghat, Panchabati. The organization has made a place in the hearts of these underprivileged people through various humanitarian activities.
Iftar is being distributed to pedestrians every Saturday under the initiative of the foundation in coordination with RMP. Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police (Media) Rafiqul Alam is supervising the Iftar distribution program from the field level.
RMP Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police (Media) Rafiqul Alam said that the way Vidyananda Foundation has stood by the needy people in this Ramadan by supplying and making iftar items is very admirable. Especially in the current situation, this initiative of theirs was very necessary for these helpless people. RMP always welcomes such humanitarian initiatives. RMPO has sincerely extended its hand of maximum cooperation. It is the moral duty of each of us to stand beside these people even from our own place.
In this regard, Rajshahi in-charge of Vidyananda Foundation Moushumi Akhtar said that the free iftar distribution project was undertaken considering the destitute and helpless people in the month of Ramzan. The menu includes chicken tehri, eggs, dates, salat, coke and water, which is being distributed to 400 families every day. An arrangement of quality food is always made. Apart from this, the “Eid Bazaar at nominal price” program has also been taken up to share the joy of Ramadan. It will start from next 16th.
What is going to happen in the world on Friday, 15 Ramadan?
What is going to happen on 15 Ramadan? Social media is abuzz with rumors that the world will be destroyed. The same discussion is going on everywhere. Is there a clear explanation of the Qur'an-Hadith about this?
For several days, only one thing has been going around in the minds of common people. What is going to happen in the world on Friday, 15 Ramadan? Especially in several countries including Bangladesh, this confusion is spreading even more as this year’s Ramadan begins on Friday. But one thing that is not understood is that in many countries including Saudi Arabia, fasting does not start on Friday and 15th of Ramadan is also not a Friday. But are they the exception? Will they survive the destruction of the world?
The recent spread of the destruction of the world is a rumor. Because the biggest sign of doomsday is the appearance of Imam Mahdi. The Aqeedah of Ahle Sunnat wal Jamaat in the light of the prophecy narrated by Nabiji sallallahu alaihi wa sallam is that the promised appearance of Imam Mahdi in the last age is true. Imam Mahdi will be from the Prophet’s family. It has been mentioned in the hadith-
Hazrat Umm Salma Radiyallahu Anhu said, I heard Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam saying, “The Mahdi will be from the Fatimi clan of Ahl al-Bayt.” (Abu Dawud 4284)
What will be the condition before the destruction of the world?
Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam also said, ‘If there is only one day left before the Day of Resurrection, Allah will prolong that day and send a person from my family. His name will match my name and his father’s name will match my father’s.’ (Abu Dawud 4282)
Hazrat Hozaifa Radiyallahu Anhu narrated, His appearance will be like a bright star.’ (Kanjul Ummal 38666)
Hazrat Abu Saeed Khudri Radiyallahu Anhu narrated that Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said, Imam Mahdi will have a broad forehead and a long and narrow nose.’ (Abu Dawud 4285)
The situation of the world will be terrible in that time before the doomsday or the destruction of the world. It has been mentioned in the hadith-
Hazrat Abu Hurairah Radiyallahu Anhu narrated that the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, said, By that great being! In Whose hand is my life, there will surely come upon mankind a time when the killer will not understand why he killed and the slain will not understand why he was killed.’ (Muslim 2908)
15 Is the description of the hadith about Ramadan correct?
There is a hadith related to the signs of the revelation of Imam Mahdi. Some Friday will be on the 15th of Ramadan. On that day there will be a loud noise in the sky. The hadith is narrated by Firoz Daylami, Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, “There will be a sound in one Ramadan”. The companions asked, 'O Messenger of Allah! At the beginning or in the middle of Ramadan? Or at the end?’ Nabiji sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, 'No, rather in the middle of Ramadan. Right in the middle of Ramadan night. A voice will come from the sky on Friday night. 70,000 people will faint and 70,000 will become deaf at the prevalence of that word.
Scholars of hadith have identified this narration of hadith as very weak and many as invalid and fabricated hadith. The description given is not correct. Rather, at the end of this hadith, the Companions asked, O Messenger of Allah! Who among your Ummah will be safe on that day? Nabiji Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said, 'Those who stay in their homes, prostrate themselves and seek refuge in Allah and say Allahu Akbar in a loud voice. Another word will come later. The first word will be Jibreel’s, the second will be Satan’s.
According to the tradition of events described in this long hadith, the word will come in Ramadan. The fiercest battle will take place in Shawwal. The tribes of Arabia will revolt in the month of Zilqad. The incident of Hajj looting will happen in the month of Zilhaj. And the beginning of Muharram is danger for my Ummah, the end is liberation. The vehicle on which a Muslim will be liberated on that day will be considered better to him than a house full of entertainment worth one lakh.’ (Al Muzamul Kabir Lit Tabarani 18/332/853)
About this hadith, Sheikh Albani (RA) said, the hadith is a fabrication. Ibn al-Jawzi mentions the hadith in his book Maujuat i.e. collection of fabricated hadiths. (3/191)
Imam Zahabi said, the hadith is invalid. (Tartibul Ma'juat: 278)
Haysami says that the narration of this hadith has a narrator named Abdul Wahhab Ibnuj Zahhaq who is Matruk or apostate in the eyes of the Muhaddiseen. (Mazmauz Zawaid: 7/313)
Imam Ibnul Qayyim said, “Several hadiths of various events can be found by determining the date in advance. They are not Sahih.’ One of them is - 'There will be a sound on the Friday night of half Ramadan. 70,000 people will faint in this… 70,000 people will become dumb…’ (Al Manarul Munif: 96 pages)
Muhaddisin Keram has expressed his opinion that the hadith containing loud words in the midnight of 15 Ramadan is not correct. So it is important to be careful of these baseless rumours.
So be careful not to spread narratives that are not verifiably acceptable. There are many hadiths containing signs of the doomsday. It is necessary to discuss those hadiths as much as possible. It is important to seek forgiveness from Almighty Allah without listening to baseless rumours.
