      Bihar Sharif-India

     The temple land has been purchased

     The state Bihar is confined from the west to Uttar Pradesh and from the north to Nepal and from the east to Bangal and Bangladesh and from the south to Eris.

     Its area is 173877 square Kilometers and its population in 2011 has been 103804637 people out of which 14 percent have been Muslims.

     There is very little public awareness of Islam and Shia in India and the Indian government has pursued its policy of undermining Muslim cultural foundations. One of the awareness of Shiites in India is the lack of a strong leadership. At the time of India’s liberation from colonialism and the declaration of its independence, Pakistan and Bangladesh were separated from India as the center of India’s Muslims; however, many Sunnis remained in India having many problems with coexistence with Hindus.

     Shiites in India are form different groups and tendencies; though most of them are believing in 12 Imams. Another group of Ismailis called Nizari is known in India consisting of twenty thousand people living in Gujarat. The Orangeh district of Badaria is one of the largest villages in the city of Rahtas in Bihar, India.

     Here are 1500 Shiite familiar living in the Orangeh district of Badaria and most of them are economically well off. There are also 2200 Sunni families living in the area. Shiites in the region are very polite and hospitable and have a very good relationships with each other.

     Education is an issue that Muslims in India emphasize. This general thinking that the religious conservatism of Muslims is the main cause of their inaccessibility to education is a completely wrong one. The educational backwardness is clearly seen in a large part of the Indian Muslim Community and Muslims wish this issue to be resolved soon. 

     The high dropout rate among Muslim and Shia students is annoying. As is the case with other people in India, the main cause of Muslim educational disadvantage is their poverty and financial disadvantage, which forces students to drop out of school after spending a few years of education. The same is true of Indian Muslim girls. Children have to work in small workshops to provide for their livelihoods or work as housekeepers in others, and care should be taken when their mothers go abroad to work with their younger siblings. The prevalence of child labor in the Muslim community seems to be higher than in other socio-religious communities. The poor and illiterate parents of these children can not afford school tuition nor can they support children at home which is an essential part of today’s education system. The cost of educating children is also high enough to make schooling impossible.

     Matandasui-Kenya

     According to statistics, 89 percent of people are Christians, 8 percent are Muslim and 3 percent are Animists.

     Kenya is a country of different cultures. Notable cultures include coastal in coastal areas, Pastoralist in the north and various communities in the central and western.

     Today, the Masai culture is well known for its tourism industry, though it is only a small tribe.

     Although Islam has been spread in Kenya long before Christianity, Christians have been able to extend their influence day by day through coherent planning and the support of two time slots. The extent to which Kenya Muslims adhere to religion depends on their awareness of religion. This awareness isn’t public. People who have more access to scholars and Sheikhs are estimating their religious needs. There is more awareness in cities because of access to mosques and scholars. The beack people’s religious interest and adherence are greater than elsewhere. Because Islam has a wider and longer history in these areas. Matondasoui is a rural area. 

     Conclusion:

     These dawning places for the mention of God and its peripheral institutions will be built in communities which deal with poverty and social problems. It seem the universal house of justice believes that the deprived societies need the Baha’i dawning places of Mention of God and its peripheral foundations. In such communities, the lack of influential social foundations gives the Baha’is the opportunity to play a key role and to pioneer in creating the social changes and socialization.

     Except for the dawning place for Mention of God in Eshq Abad, other continental dawning places for the Mention of God have deprived of the peripheral foundations. This issue had caused these temples to be symbolicly important and to have a role beyond the silent proselytizers of the Baha’i faith. Nevertheless, building the local and national dawning places for the Mention of God indicates and important change because from this time on, the dawning places for the Mention of God and their peripheral foundations will provide local non-Baha’i communities’ requirements that are from the poor communities. And in this way, they follow proselytizing of the Baha’i faith.
