in Patna, at Anand Place, AnandVihar, opposite Police Colony,<br />

[http://groups.yahoo.com/group/biharanjuman/], <strong>Bihar</strong><br />
in Patna.<br />
<strong>Bihar</strong> <strong>Anjuman</strong> thanks all<br />
those who have been with<br />
us through our journey,<br />
from a simple network to<br />
some tangible work on the<br />
ground. The journey of a thousand miles begins with a baby<br />
step, a few helping hands, a few encouraging words, a few<br />
guiding notes. We have just begun to walk, but we have miles to<br />
go ... ...<br />
We believe in mutual respect and peaceful coexistence. We<br />
assign utmost importance to self-help. In order that our lost<br />
pride can be regained, we need to help ourselves. That’s why we<br />
are trying to promote a culture of giving rather than begging<br />
from other organizations or governments. Our inner strength<br />
will only come from the culture of giving and by coming out of<br />
the charity mindset (that has blessed our educational system<br />
with the madarsa culture) and mediocrity. Beggars can’t be<br />
choosers. We have to decide which side we would be. None but<br />
Allah owns the resources of this world, which He assigns to<br />
whom He wills. He allocates these resources most wisely.<br />
Resources like time and money can never be constraints in<br />
carrying out the good deeds that we wish to do, thus following<br />
the commandment of Allah SubhanahuWaTáala. Helping hands<br />
are always better than praying lips. And, Allah says: Verily never<br />
will Allah change the condition of a people until they change it<br />
themselves (Quran, 13:11), so we need to take the initiatives, and<br />
help those who do the same. That’s exactly why <strong>Bihar</strong> <strong>Anjuman</strong><br />
was founded, and that’s exactly what we stand for.<br />
Anjuaman finally has transcended from the cyber-space to the<br />
real-space.Congratulation to all members of the online<br />
networks [Yahoogroup, Facebook, Twitter, where we are<br />
present], well-wishers, donors, supporters, volunteers, chaptermembers<br />
and leaders! Our mission “to bring active, kind,<br />
knowledgeable and resourceful people together, from all<br />
corners of the world, to interact and act jointly to educate,<br />
motivate, inspire and instil confidence; to remove<br />
disappointments, eradicate miseries, and help the needy”<br />
would become easier to accomplish, insha-Allah, with an office<br />
Dear brothers and sisters, our experience says that everyone<br />
agrees to support a good cause if someone takes initiative.<br />
Muslims from <strong>Bihar</strong> and Jharkhand in your city are definitely not<br />
as unattached with their community as we feel. It’s a matter of<br />
just reaching out to them, helping them. Someone has to do it.<br />
Who else could be better than you?<br />
<strong>Bihar</strong> <strong>Anjuman</strong> provides a channel to you so that the community<br />
can rise from its shoddy present to a worthy future that can be<br />
viewed with pride and respect by other communities. We urge<br />
you to come forward and join hands with the sole intention of<br />
pleasing Allah. With your hand in ours, we may rise above the<br />
ordinary to build a strong base of educated people before whom<br />
the entire world spreads its hands to beg for knowledge and<br />
technology, for wisdom and strategy.<br />
