ALL INDIA MAJLIS TAMEER E MILLAT
The All India Majlis Tameer-E-Millat is a registered non-political Indian Muslim's organisation based in the Indian state of Telangana, with its head office at Madina Mansion, Narayanguda, Hyderabad founded by Syed Khaleelullah Hussaini and registered with the registrar of societies of state Government in 1958.The Nizam’s State of Hyderabad was incorporated into the newly - independent India in September 1948 after a brief war called Police Action. During the next several months hundreds of thousands of Muslims were massacred by the rivaling army, thus making the Muslims a decimated and plundered population. They saw in communism a means to hide their Muslim identity and to solve their economic & cultural predicament. It was a stupendous task to build up the morale of the Muslims and bring back the young men to the fold of Islam. This challenge was taken up by a 23 years old brilliant Muslim, Mr. Syed Khalilullah Hussaini, a Sociologist from Osmania University. He founded the Tameer – E – Millat in 1950 under the name of “Bazm – E – Ahbab” (Friends Circle).

After the military action, religious education in the government educational institutions was strictly prohibited. The new curriculum was formulated in such a manner as to inculcate in the students liking for polytheism & idol worship and an attitude that all religious lead to God, Islam has no special virtue. It was necessary to evolve a system of instruction for the Muslim children in Islam and making them believe that Islam is the way to God (The Deen). Majlis Tameer – E – Millat took up this cause. In a short time it had spread to all districts of the state of Hyderabad. It succeeded in making the Muslims realize their responsibilities towards Islamic instructions & education of their children.

All India Majlis Tameer – E – Millat in its efforts to make the Muslims realize the necessity and responsibility of providing basic religious instructions to their children, did not ignore the importance and necessity of secular education.

It exhorted the Muslims to try to the extent possible to educate their children in schools, colleges, universities, technical & professional institutions. Due to poverty & economical decline the strength of Muslims students was going down day by day. All India Majlis Tameer – E – Millat realized this reason and decided to collect Qurbani Hides & Skins to provide financial assistance to deserving students from the proceeds of sales.

All India Majlis Tameer – E – Millat also encouraged people to earn their livelihood by adopting any noble work such as craftsmanship, artisanship, trade & agriculture. Before Police Action mart of the Muslims were employed in government jobs & also by feudal lords.

After 1956, All India Majlis Tameer – E – Millat started spreading the activities to other parts of India where the Muslim community faced similar problems.

After independence of India the communal disturbances and riots erupted throughout India. Even Gandhiji was killed because of the communal ideology. Gandhiji tried his best to stop bloodshed, but he failed. All India Majlis Tameer – E – Millat asked Muslims to adopt self-defense theory if they were attacked. Muslims were advised to inculcate friendly relations with Non-Muslims countrymen & make them realize that the refrains activities of the Anti-Muslim communal groups in creating hatred against the Muslims and provoking riots, disturbances are harmful to the interest of the country. It has also advised them to be prepared to face any attack & fight back when attacked. These two pronged strategy came to be known as Tameer – E – Millat theory of self defence. This theory boasted the morale of the Muslims. When riots broke out in Aurangabad, Muslims fought back in self defence so resolutely that within half an hour, the military was called into quell the riots. This was a turning point in the history of communal riots. The leaders of the organisation Mr. Syed Khalilullah Hussaini, Mr. Ghouse Khamooshi, Mr. Suleman Sikander and Mr. Abdul Raheem Qureshi were prosecuted put behind the bars. Their speech & entries were banned. In spite of these repressive measures daren’t lessly All India Majlis Tameer – E – Millat carried on the work of inspiring Muslims with faith, hope and reducing them with the concept of self defence.
