Col Syed Amiruddin saheb R.A....we will miss you always
Col. Syed Amiruddin R.A.
Colonel Amiruddin Sahib RA the Amir of Canada, passed away
at the age of 99 in Toronto (Innaa Lillahi Wa Innaa Ilayhi Rajioon). He
converted over 5500 people to Islam and said he stopped counting to maintain
his sincerity. He was a man of complete sincerity, a shining light in these
dark times. For over 55 years of his life he traveled more than 72 countries,
spending whatever he earned in his life in the path of Allah .He practice was
to go in the path of Allah for about 8 months in a year and spends 4 months
with his family.
Colonel Amiruddin Sahab RA born to a Scottish lady, Ella
Allen later to become Halima Farid ud-Din, who converted to Islam when she was
16 years old after dreaming of the Kaaba. she married Nawab Farid ud-Din Khan a
descendent of the prophet SAW two years later while he was in Scotland.
in 1967, Colonel Amiruddin Sahab RA was permitted to enter
the lower inner sanctum behind the auspicious golden gate and visit the tomb of
the Prophet SAW where he says, he heard the Prophet SAW reply to his salaam,
which caused him to fall unconscious. He was also instrumental in bringing
Shaykh Abdul Fattah Abu Ghuddah to Hyderabad, India.
He was initiated into the Naqshbandi tariqat by the
Muhaddith of Deccan Syed Abdullah Shah Naqshbandi RA and also on the hands of
Moulana Yusuf Kandhalvi RA. He moved on foot through jungles of Africa, in the
heat of Arabia and the bitter cold of Europe to spread Islam. In one of his
banyans he states; "It was the time when there was tension in south Africa
between whites and blacks, jamat were not given permission to enter. Hazrat
Moulana Yusuf RA asked Colonel Amiruddin Sahab RA " you are Colonel and u
must find a way to enter into Africa". A plan was made, they walked the
jungles of Africa for around 4000 km in the path of Allah and it took 7 months
. Only two days had passed that police caught them and put the jamat in jail. People
came to know that a jamat has come from India and were bringing meals to
prison. The meals were so much that they were distributed in prison and many of
the prisoners accepted Islam by seeing the atmosphere in jail and preaching's
of the jamat.
Since Colonel sab was a white man they requested him to
leave Africa but he replied "we want to meet our brothers here." He
was then questioned by the leading officer for the reason of coming to Africa,
he took out a pen and paper and the wrote six points of tabligh and said
"we have come to learn this."
I had the honor and the privilege of spending a lot of time
with him. The last time I met him was during his last visit to India in 2005.
May Allah swt grant him the highest place in Jannah and give patience to his
family members to withstand this great loss. His death is a great loss to the
entire humanity not only just the community.

Youth Against Speed…reveals about Mysore Road Accidents
In less than six months, over five dozen vehicle users were killed and about 500 have sustained injuries in the city. The rise in number of accidents seems to have forced traffic cops to put their thinking cap on. They are preparing a report on road accidents and its causes seeking for a solution.
Surprisingly, the district road safety committee which was supposed to look into the issue seems to have taken it lightly. The committee comprising district officers and deputy commissioner as its head has not met since few years. It is the duty of committee to prevent road accidents and save precious lives in its jurisdiction and its focused areas include - preventive measures, surveillance and detection and enforcement measures. But in the recent past no meeting has been conducted to look into the issue.
Previous year city traffic police had taken credit for the decrease in road accidents in Mysore. Officers had claimed due to their efforts of educating vehicles users fatal accidents had come down to 113 in 2011 from 140 in 2010. But in the first six months, this year, about 63 deaths have been reported. About 46 people were killed in road accidents in the last three months, which is alarming.
Police attribute the increase in accidents, in majority of the cases is due to driver's negligence coupled with poor infrastructure and road engineering. The highest number of accidents has happened on a segment of National Highway 212 (Mysore-Nanjangud road) coming under the city police jurisdiction, according police study. On an average every year 20 accidents and four deaths have taken place between Bandiplaya and Gun House circle, a segment of NH 212. This year, about six deaths have been reported. The latest was on Thursday. A person who was admitted for injuries sustained in a road accident on NH 212, two days back, died on Thursday, a traffic police officer said.
Poor road condition, lighting and narrowness of the highway have all contributed to the accidents on the NH. Volume of the traffic is increased on the stretch over the years. The officer says the accidents cannot be prevented unless the stretch is widened and illuminate properly. He says it requires involvement of officers from various departments to take up road safety measures and it will be easy for the committee, headed by DC, to initiate measures on this score. But regrettably, the committee has not met since few years.
When contacted Deputy Commissioner P S Vastrad claimed a meeting on road safety was held previous month and soon he would convene a meeting with officers concerned to discuss about it. He, however, said highway developmental project is in the final stage.

Youth Against Speed – Reveals astonishing facts about Accidents in Mumbai
Mohd.Khaleequr Rahman educating the youth against the evils ofspeed
Statistics recently
released by the National Crime Records Bureau reveal that
almost 41,000 people in the 15-29 age group lost their lives in India in road accidents in 2010. Deaths in the 30-44 age
group were higher at 47,000.
"This death rate reveals two things: one the youth love to speed and they form a majority in our country," said a doctor who deals with trauma care in a public hospital. Indeed, the 15-29 age group accounts for almost 50% of the population.
In accordance with this age profile, it is not surprising that their popular mode of transport—the two-wheeler—accounts for maximum number of deaths in Mumbai: 139 of the 782 deaths in the city last year were due to two-wheelers. Cars, which do not account for the majority of the city's total transport grid, claimed 105 lives in the same period.
"In Mumbai, 98% of the population walks on the roads even if they have a personal vehicle—be it a bike or a car—at home. Roads are thus the chosen path of the people," said Badami. Yet, he added, pedestrians are the most vulnerable to road accidents. In Mumbai, the figure stood at 292 pedestrian deaths last year. Nationally, 9.1% of the victims are pedestrians.
The World Bank started a safe road initiative last year, stating that India accounted for 15% of the world's road fatalities even though it has just 1% of the world's motor vehicles.
The need to check road accidents cannot be underlined enough. As Bangalore-based NIMHANS' head of epidemiology, Dr G Gururaj, has pointed out in his report for the World Bank that the people most affected by road accidents are in their most productive years. Accidents disable them, robbing them of their productivity. Their deaths emotionally cripple the family.
Experts underline the need for better planned roads. "If cars are driven at 50 kmph, there is an 80% chance of a fatal accident on collision. If the speed is reduced to 30%, the fatality rate comes down by 20%," says Badami. IIT's Mohan recommends separation of traffic on arterial roads and clear and continuous pedestrian paths on all arterial roads. "Planners must design roads not for cars but for the many people who walk on it," says the planner.
