Awards Bicycles to Committed Participants.
The Auqaf Committee of Nigeenbagh Sopore has successfully concluded its 60-day Prayer Initiative Program aimed at encouraging local children aged 10-15 years to engage in regular prayers. Started on 13th October 2024, the program encouraged participants to offer five daily prayers, with Fajr, Maghrib, and Isha prayers being mandatory at the local Masjid.
As part of the initiative, children who completed the program and adhered to the prayer schedule were rewarded with new bicycles.
Today, as part of the culmination of the initiative, 20 dedicated children were awarded bicycles by the Auqaf Committee in recognition of their commitment.
“The primary objective of the program was to develop a deeper connection between the youth and the Masjid while instilling the importance of regular Namaz.”, Said a member of the committee .
According to the Auqaf Committee, the youth are the future of the community, and their proper Tarbiyah (upbringing) is crucial to building a better society. The committee also highlighted the broader responsibility of Masjid management to address social challenges, including youth involvement in social evils such as drug abuse and immorality.
“We believe it is our duty to not only manage the Masjid but also to tackle the growing social issues facing our youth today. The purpose of this program was to bring the new generation closer to the Masjid and nurture them spiritually,” said a spokesperson from the Auqaf Committee.
The initiative has been well-received by the local community, with many expressing gratitude for the efforts made to engage children in meaningful, positive activities. The committee has vowed to continue broadening its role in addressing both spiritual and social challenges within the community.
