Welcome
As-salamu-alaikum. Welcome to the nest of Dahuk. "Gram-Banglar Pakhi",
DAHUK calls earnestly sitting on a bush near a pond or a marshy land in
the villages of Bangladesh. Poet of Islamic renaissance Farrukh Ahmed
used Dahuk as a symbol of an incessant caller to the path of truth.
We have been sent by the creator of this universe with a great responsibility
of calling people to His commandments. "Let there arise out of
you a band of people inviting to all that is good, enjoining what is right,
and forbidding what is wrong: They are the ones to attain felicity."
(3:104)
Let all of us try to be righteous and invite others in this endeavor
with 'wisdom and fair preaching'. Let us be consistent, steadfast and
call ceaselessly as Dahuk. The 'nest of Dahuk' will hopefully provide
you the tools and supports in this divine journey.
Our Mission
Our mission is to respond to the call of the creator of this universe:
"Invite to the way of your lord with wisdom and fair preaching"
(Sura An-Nahl 125). We believe that Islam is a religion that spans every
facet of our life. We therefore strive for upholding the teachings of
the Quran and Sunnah in our life and invite the mankind towards that in
the way Allah (SWT) prescribed.
Goals/Objectives
In line with our mission, at this time our primary focus is Bangladesh. We
would like:
- To create a network of communication among the Bangladeshi organizations
and individuals in home and abroad who accept Islam as a complete way
of life and are working for the common welfare of Bangladesh with a
streamlined goal of salvation in the hereafter.
- To utilize the most of Internet technology so that an individual can
play the minimum role of 'Vicegerent of Allah', wherever he/she is.
Information, views, news floating around the virtual world will be effectively
utilized for the self-development of an individual.
- To encourage the involvement of the participants in the local muslim
communities. Experiences, expertise from these diverse communities/organizations
will be effectively shared and integrated.
- To propagate and promote the latest status, needs, and concerns of
Islamic activities in Bangladesh and to undertake effective measures
to support them. In this context DAHUK will identify the expertise of
each participant abroad what he/she can offer to assist the Islamic
works in Bangladesh and will make attempts to realize it.
Our Apporach
- We think true islamic understanding and morals are key to the solution
of many existing socio-economic problems of Bangladesh. Therefore we
call for individual spiritual development and islamic awareness.
- Our approach is complementary not contradictory with or redundant
to existing islamic initiatives. We do this by identifying common areas
of concerns, sorting out their islamic solutions, and finally cooperating
existing approaches or taking initiative in a complementary new approach.
- We would like to promote and cooperate any islamic work in Bangladesh.
Hence, we have to work closely with the existing islamic infrasturctures
in Bangladesh. We think that the expertise and resources of the expatriate
Bangladeshis would be a very valuable aid to these islamic activities.
Initially due to our limited resources though, we have to prioritize
some projects over others.
- We solicit the contribution from every individual to his/her own capacity
thus making our efforts more inclusive and participatory.
