MAIZBHANDAR SHARIF: AN
EMBLEM OF HUMAN REGALEMENT Maizbhandar – a
place of pilgrimage for the millions of people, irrespective of their
religion, race, cast and status is situated at a distance of 38 km north of
Chittagong in Bangladesh. Once being considered as a remote village;
Maizbhandar has now been turned into a sacred place, signaling a crystalline
message in order to build a contended world, following the veritable
principles of universal humanity. Hence the countless devotees call the
place Maizbhandar, as "Maizbhandar Sharif". The literal meaning of the word
"Maizbhandar", among others, stands for "treasury of valuables", and "place
for shelter" and the word "Sharif" means "sacred". Indeed, in the today’s
world, which is girdled by abrasion and conflicts; people can attain peace

Maizbhandari School of
Thought is based on the teachings of Quran and Sunnah, together with a clear
accent on human development. This School recognises the different components of
Allah’s creation and emphasises the maintenance of a harmonious relationship
among all of them. In particular, it reminds the human beings with regard to
their responsibilities to the society. In essence, the basic thrust of the
Maizbhandari School of Thought is to motivate people to build themselves as
complete human beings. The most important and significant feature of
Maizbhandari School of Thought is its emphasis on humanism. The narrow barrier
of religion, cast and status is washed away by the true evaluation of men, the
best of all creations, in its right perspective. This is because, this School
believes that religion is for men and after all, man is the representative of
Allah, In this way, primarily, the Maizbhandari School of Thought highlights the
importance of universal aspect of humanism...........................
