Al-Ameen Mission Students Honor Founder
A group of students made a movie to thank their teacher, Md.
Nurul Islam, for starting a school to help poor Muslim kids.
The school, Al-Ameen Mission, began small but now has many branches and has helped many students become doctors, engineers, and more.
The students showed the movie to say thank you for all the hard work their teacher did to make their education possible.
The teacher faced many challenges but never gave up, and now the students want to help others too.
Students of Al-Ameen Mission produced a film titled 'Dear Secretary Sir' to honor their founder, Md. Nurul Islam.
Al-Ameen Mission started in 1986 with seven students and now has 77 branches with over 20,000 students.
The film highlights Islam's mission to educate underprivileged Muslim children and his struggles to fund the institute.
Notable alumni include 31 doctors, engineers, an astrophysicist, and a state cadre bureaucrat.
The Al-Ameen Protyay Foundation, formed by the students, produced the film and engages in health camps and relief operations.

Quotes
Sk Hammadur Rahaman
Endocrinologist and president of Al-Ameen Protyay Foundation
“We understood even as 16-17 year olds, how backward our community was in education and culture. Three guardians used to make us dream — Secretary sir, our teacher Maroof Azam sahab and (hostel superintendent) Abdul Hasem Mallick sahab, whom we lost to Covid. We, friends, had resolved at that age to give back to society someday.”

“Many of us are serving as block medical officers of health. While most doctors tend to avoid rural postings, our pass-outs are happy to serve there as they are from impoverished backgrounds in remote areas.”

Md. Nurul Islam
Founder of Al-Ameen Mission and an educator
“A Ramakrishna-Vivekananda devotee, he used to tell me about their teachings and about Ramakrishna Mission. The seeds of Al-Ameen Mission were planted in my mind in the course of those interactions and I started visiting the Ramakrishna Mission Institute of Culture in Golpark to listen to the speeches of Swami Lokeswarananda and others. That is why Al-Ameen Mission was initially named Islamic Institute of Culture.”

Mayor and minister
“Here is a mastermoshai who has nurtured not just students all his life but an entire community. We always complain about being backward but instead of complaining, he took responsibility to bring about a positive change.”
