Every crime is an evil against Allah. Every crime is against Koran and Hadith. That’s why our honored prophet Muhammad sollalohu alayhi wasallam called us to struggle against crime by the following hadith:

“If you see that someone is performing an evil action, stop it with your hand. If you can’t stop by your hands, then stop it with your words. If you can’t stop it with your words then stop it with your soul. But, stopping with your soul is the weakest form of iyman (belief).” (narrated by Imam Muslim)

It is true that upbringing of young generation is always crucial and difficult job. Honorable President commented following on this issue: “We have known for centuries that development of a society is connected with the young generation’s education and upbringing. But in XXI century this issue is becoming life-and-death issue.”    

During the speeches it was warned that all young people from Uzbekistan in foreign counties are our children and if we don’t pay serious attention to them some other forces may cheat them and use in evil deeds.

It was noted that in the era of internet and fast mass media Muslim Board of Uzbekistan is ready to cooperate with all existing mass media types of our country.

At the end of the event Muslim Board of Uzbekistan and Youth Union of Uzbekistan agreed to sign the Memorandum of Partnership.

Gandhi Praised Caliphs Abu Bakar and Umar as Role Models in His 1937 Newspaper

Gandhi Praised Caliphs Abu Bakar and Umar as Role Models in His 1937 Newspaper

In the July 27, 1937 issue of his weekly journal Harijan, Mahatma Gandhi praised Islamic Caliphs Abu Bakar (RA) and Umar Farooq (RA) as examples of humble and responsible leadership.

In a rare reference to Islamic history, Mahatma Gandhi praised Caliphs Abu Bakar and Umar Farooq as examples of simple and honest leadership.

He made this statement in the July 27, 1937 issue of his weekly journal, Harijan, offering advice to Indian National Congress leaders as they began to hold public office.

In that issue of Harijan, Gandhi wrote:

“I cannot give you the reference of Ram Chandar or Krishna, because they were not considered as historical figures. I cannot help it but to present to you the names of (Hazrat) Abu Bakar (RA) and (Hazrat) Umar Farooq (RA). They were leaders of a vast Empire, yet they lived a life of austerity.” Harijan – Dated: 27.07.1937

This statement came during an important moment in India’s history. In 1937, the Indian National Congress formed governments in several provinces for the first time under British rule, following elections held under the Government of India Act, 1935.

Gandhi, always cautious about the moral health of leaders, urged Congress members not to be consumed by power or luxury. He used the examples of Caliphs Abu Bakar and Umar Farooq to remind them that true leaders live simply and serve the people.

Harijan was Gandhi’s weekly newspaper, launched in 1933 to support his social reform campaigns — especially against untouchability. The journal regularly featured Gandhi’s views on religion, politics, and ethics.

The journal was published in English, along with versions in Hindi (Harijan Sewak) and Gujarati (Harijanbandhu), and ran until 1955.

This was not the only time Gandhi showed appreciation for Islamic values. He often quoted the Quran, Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), and his companions in speeches and writings.
