After education, the front on which the community is still backward is: economics. For unknown reasons, even the leaders of our community express unconcern on this front by saying that this world is of ‘four days’. They should understand this and should also explain to the new generation that materialism is reprehensible. But first of all, there is a simple fact that more income means more Zakat payment. Second, if there is no economic stability in life, what will we get except poverty, beggarly people and helplessness? Our students should now start their best efforts on this front.
(1) Start this campaign by introducing the image of saving, its implementation and its farreaching results. The students should spread the 2 slogan ‘Save and make people save’ through locality/township programs or Nukkad Natak. We have to tell them the ways of small savings, we have to teach them to keep a diary of their daily expenses and write them down. In which they should write in two columns that I earned this much today and I saved this much today. In fact, we have to train them mentally that as important as earning is, saving is equally important. We have to make them experience the joy of saving Rs. 25/30 by traveling by bus/train instead of taxi or auto, otherwise what happens here is that the earning and spending columns remain full, while the savings column remains empty. Even if we save something, we do not do anything new until the last ten rupee note of that savings is spent, after that, the children at home pawn the worn out jewelry with the moneylender or the majority of our youth get lost in the tempting offer of credit cards of banks and are forced to pay 4/5 percent monthly interest.
(2) Due to negligence on the economic front, schemes that will make us millionaires in no time will come to our doorstep. Even well-off, 3 educated people will fall for their tricks. Many people, knowing that any scheme is 100% fraud or false, will still invest in it, saying, ‘Let’s try our luck’. Here, our commerce students have to be active and save the community from anti-social individuals/institutions.
(3) Due to our continuous lack of foresight on the economic front, our youth are stuck in search of shortcuts or easy ways. When mobile phones came to our country, many students threw away their school bags, dropped out of college, now buying/selling mobiles is no longer a profitable business, now those youth are selling mobile covers. Once, there was a profit of one thousand rupees by selling a mobile, now by selling its cover they get a profit of only ten rupees. During Covid, some people were even telling the youth that there is a lot of benefit in opening a mask making factory. What happened is that a mask worth Rs. 100 was being sold for just Rs. 5. Parents also observed that all the shops were closed during the lockdown except for the chemist shops. Due to this, a crowd of our students has rushed to the pharmacy. They have fallen prey to the fraudulent so-called pharmacy 4 colleges that are offering them the opportunity to ‘become a pharmacist sitting at home’. Parents have admitted their children to the deemed universities that charge fees of up to Rs. 1 lakh per year and conduct D-pharmacy sitting at home so that they can open a pharmacy or drug store. Now what will happen if four chemist shops open on the ground floor of every building? These drug stores offer discounts of 15/20%, then the discount can reach 50/60% due to competition. This will be possible when counterfeit drugs also start selling. There will be no investigation, because today there are millions of cases pending in all the consumer courts of the country. Just think, in the cycle of rushing about careers and becoming instant millionaires, millions of our youth will become anti-social, anti-national and playing with people’s lives. Our students have to save our society from this disaster, our university students have a big responsibility to create awareness among parents that they should not make their children’s careers depending on the ‘season’.
(4) In Muslim society today, all life plans, all future planning, budgets, etc. are completely destroyed: wedding ceremonies and wedding receptions, the demand for dowry is no longer hidden but an open agenda. Begging is done very politely: “We don’t want anything, send the girl with two pairs of clothes, of course you people are seeing that we have only one room, how will your daughter be happy in this family of three brothers. Arrange a flat for her, she will be happy, we don’t want anything, and get the flat near the station so that you don’t have to buy a motorbike for your son-in-law….” All our youth should take the initiative to end the great curse of dowry. They should themselves refuse any marriage that involves any transaction. Start your married life in the right way, the girl will cry after seeing the bed, cupboard, and utensils brought in the dowry, her father bought them on loan. Parents do not understand how their son will be able to be happy with a girl who constantly cries remembering her father’s tears? Youth! Now is the time to collectively decide that all the youth of our community should not participate in such 6 marriage ceremonies, which involve extravagance, immorality, and dowry transactions.
(5) Our economics students have to organize meetings in the neighborhood and building to create economic awareness in the society. Even if 8/10 people attend each meeting, there is no problem because this is how the movement moves forward when we make two or three people successful out of a meeting of eight or ten people and make them role models. What can our youth do for progress in the economy and business:
