This trust is devoted to the cause of Islam, its
propagation and promotion. The charities of this trust is for all
citizens of India. Its immediate aim is to take Islam to the
gross roots level. As of now Islam is the most misunderstood
religion.
Islam now, is not only misunderstood, but is also
under attack. Opinion is mobilised throughout the world
against Islam and Muslims. Alliances are forged to wage war
against Islam and Muslims. Under these circumstances
conveying the true message of Islam to one and all, is all the
more an important duty.
Herein we present a brief about our services,
charities and activities.
ISLAM TO THE GROSS ROOTS LEVEL
We are in the field of dawah (inviting people towards
Islam) for the last 29 years. As such we have taken Islam to
nearly 11,000 villages through various programmes. One of
them is dawah tour.
DAWAH TOURS
We have a set of people who are experts in
conveying Islam to the villagers. They are in the field for the
last 29 years. They travel in our auto almost everyday to the
villages and invite them towards Islam.
Earlier These experts visited the villages for a select
number of days. Now we have made it a daily affair.
We could have covered many more villages if we
had adequate vehicles / Conveyance. Now we own only an
auto. Insha allah we will with your philanthropy get more
vehicles and accelerate our activities. Annually we spend
nearly 3 lakh rupees in this noble cause.

Having conveyed the message of Islam to a good chunk of
villagers, we felt the need for an institute to impart Islamic
knowledge to those who aspire to acquaint with various
aspects of Islam.
Infact our field workers impressed on us to start one such
institute. As such
we started an

As time
passed, our
dawa activities grew in various dimensions. Five years back we
felt the need for an institute exclusively for women who
embraced islam ,and we started an institute at Nellai Eruvadi.
With these institutes we continued our mission of taking Islam
to the gross roots level. Allah blessed out efforts, many families
choose islam as their way of life. These coupled with the
conversion of T.M. MANI, now T.M. UMAR FAROOQ a veteran
Dalit Leader gave new thrust to our mission. Then again our
field workers insisted that we should open a centre to educate
the families who wanted to know all aspects of Islam. We had in
our mind such an institute for a long time. We started this
Anbagam to fulfill the aforesaid need on 12th September 2007
in a rented building .
89 Families comprising of 300 members have taken
their education from this institute. We are working to shift this to
our own building. Some good hearted people have accepted
the responsibility of constructing the new building. May allah
reward them.
DOWRY FREE MARRIAGES
During the last year we have arranged 8 dowry free
marriages among those who joined our institute (Anbagam).
Two converts were pregnant at the time of accepting Islam. We
looked after these deliveries at our own expenses.
LITERATURES FOR DAWAH
We are instrumental in promoting literatures in the field
of dawah and in general Islamic studies. Of these the book by
the veteran dalit leader T.M.Mani (now T.M. Umar
Farooq),"THE END OF CASTEISM” is a big hit instigating many
