Ya Ali Madad:
I do not know much about other Jamatkhanas.
In my JK there a board with ayat used for for death announcement with date n time n place of burial.
I have seeing this since my birth.
When I was a child,I asked why not announcement for births.
They thought a mad child talking about it.
In simple logic of the world it is
if A is opposite of B ,then naturally B is opposite of A.
In the same way If Death is opposite of Life,then Life is opposite of Death.
I know the reasons for that board.
This a just a food of thought for us and give our rational opinions.
I feel ( a personal one) if a similar size board is placed along with the death annc board for announcing a Birth is a Jamati members family with
congratulations may not do any harm.
We Jamat are part of a one large family.We share grief, sadness and our joy and happiness with each other.
The reasons for it can be:
1.If death is there,so is the birth is there.
2.It evens out the emotions of persons reading the boards.
( now it is one way only).
3,It give sense of pride to the family where birth is taken n the whole jamat is congratulating them.
4.It can also start a thought process in the minds of many of observing
Death n Life as cyclical and not one off phase.
I also feel the board to be colourful with stars,fairies and Ballons printed on it.
And very much on top of it any important extract of any Ayats,Farman,etc on a birth of a Momin.
As I am writing on merit of having one in our region,there may be demerit on it that I may not know.
( answer that it being ages old traditions nothing can be done on it is not an valid answer for me)
If somebody is staying in the residential complex. their is a notice for it members on what date n time the laundry persons will come to pick up the unclean clothes and no date n time is said on return of fresh n clean clothes is given.So the member has the right to ask the questions to the complex admin or committee to put both the info so it may it look c
complete.
