Aman Huzur of Feni
Pious man has been spreading the light of religious education for 53 years
Aman Huzur and the religious educational institution he established on his own initiative, named Fatehpur Jamia Rahmania. Agamir Somoy.
He had begun teaching at a maktab at the age of 14. It seems in the blink of an eye, 53 years have passed. He is now 71.
Over this long journey of life, there is no count of how many children have learned the first letters of the Quran, the Kalima, prayer, and the fundamental teachings of Islam from him. Although the burden of age has led him to step back from many responsibilities, he has still not given up teaching children.
Maulvi Amanullah, known as "Aman Huzur" in Fatehpur of Sharshadi Union in Feni Sadar Upazila, has been the first religious teacher for several generations in the area. To some he is the maktab teacher of their childhood, to others a respected huzur. And to the children of the new generation, he is "Dada Huzur."
Amanullah began teaching at the maktab of Fatehpur Sardar Bari Mosque at the age of only 14. That journey, which began in adolescence, continues to this day. Over 53 long years, he has taught countless children Quran recitation, prayer, the Kalima, and the basic rules of Islam. Many of his students are now established in various fields of society. Some of them are themselves teaching religious education to children. Many of those who once studied under him later sent their own children to him for their first lessons at the maktab.
Not only has he taught at the maktab, but Aman Huzur has also played a role in establishing institutions of religious education in the area. In the early 1980s, he became involved in an initiative to establish an institution for hifz and religious education in Fatehpur. Later, with the cooperation of local scholars and education enthusiasts, he founded Fatehpur Nurani Talimul Quran Madrasa in 1993. In 2006, the institution began operating on a new scale under the name "Fatehpur Jamia Rahmania."
He also paid special attention to children from poor and insolvent families. So that no child would be deprived of religious education due to lack of money, he taught many of them free of charge or for a nominal fee. Alongside teaching, he also served as imam of a local Jame Mosque from 1978 to 2005.
