Advice to Leaders and Activists
In his message, Dr. Shafiqur Rahman requested party activists to remain calm and focus on good deeds rather than responding negatively.
“আপনাদের প্রতি অনুরোধ—জনগণের ভালোবাসা ও সহানুভূতি দেখে জামায়াতে ইসলামীকে যারা গালি দেয়, তাদের গালির জবাব দেওয়ার কোনো প্রয়োজন নেই।”
Translation:
“My request to you all—those who insult Jamaat-e-Islami after seeing the people’s love and sympathy, there is no need to respond to their insults.”
Responding with Prayers
Dr. Shafiqur Rahman emphasized that instead of reacting with harsh words, members should respond with prayers for the well-being of everyone.
“গালির জবাবে দোয়া হবে আমাদের কর্মসূচি, ইনশাআল্লাহ।”
Translation: “Our program in response to insults will be prayers,
In sha Allah.”

Responsibility Towards Nation
Dr. Shafiqur Rahman reminded that the main responsibility of Jamaat is to work for the welfare of the country and its people.
“দেশ এবং জনগণের কল্যাণে কাজ করার বিশাল দায়িত্ব আমাদের ওপর। দায়িত্বের এই আমানতের প্রতি সবার শ্রদ্ধাশীল থাকা উচিত। আসুন, আমরা এই কাজটাই করি।”
Translation: “We have a huge responsibility to work for the welfare of the country and its people. Everyone should respect this trust of responsibility. Let us focus on this task.”
Faith in Allah
He concluded his statement by reminding members to remain patient and trust in Allah.
“ফায়সালা মহান মাবুদের হাতে। মহান আল্লাহর ওপর ভরসা ও ধৈর্যই হোক আমাদের মূল হাতিয়ার। প্রিয় বাংলাদেশকে আল্লাহ তাআলা সব ধরনের বিপদ থেকে হেফাজত করুন।”
Translation: “The final decision lies in the hands of the Almighty Lord. Trust in Allah and patience should be our main weapons. May Allah protect our beloved Bangladesh from all kinds of dangers.”
