The Assistant Secretary General of Islamic Education of The World Federation, Sayyid Aliraza Naqvi visited the Polish city of Lublin from 23-25 May 2013. The trip was facilitated by the Al Mahdi Institute of Birmingham. During his visit, he met with the local Shi’a community and delivered a lecture during the celebration of the Wiladat of Imam Ali (as).
He also met representatives of the Polish Shi’a organisation, the Muslim Unity Society and discussed their activities and future plans.
The World Federation has discussed a number of Tableegh initiatives in Poland with the Islamic Unity Society, including publications and events.
Sayyid Aliraza Naqvi said, ‘Alhamdillilah, the visit to Poland was an eye-opener for me personally and a reminder of our duty to spread the message of the Ahlul Bayt (as). The polish people were very receptive of the message of the Ahlul Bayt (as) and I am confident we can provide a lot of support to Tableegh efforts, inshallah. I wish to thank Al Mahdi Institute and the Islamic Unity Society for giving me the opportunity to visit Poland.’

Day Seven:
Its 11am here now and the temperature is at 40°. I have had a 5 hour sleep which should be good enough to get me going for what is my D Day today.
I come out of the tent and see people all dressed in white, some performing their wudhoo whilst some praying despite the intense heat. The Adhaan is then heard and everyone rushes to their tents to perform their prayers. Thereafter the whole place goes quiet.
The Curriculum Development team of the Madrasah Centre of Excellence (MCE) has recently released the Draft Curriculum Framework for Madrasah which was produced after a lengthy process of consensus and consultation with religious scholars, educationalists and madrasah teachers. A detailed review of the major curricula currently used by madaris globally was also carried out. A copy of the Framework document is being sent to teachers in each Madrasah in every region.
