Proving that religions should not be separating human beings, a Muslim woman is raising funds for the construction of the Ram temple in Ayodhya.
The woman named Zahara Begum is an organiser at Tahera Trust. She is encouraging members of the Muslim community to pitch in and contribute funds for the religious establishment.?
Calling it 'Unity in Diversity', she recalled how all communities, including Muslims, have always come forward to support their Hindu peers in organising pooja on Vinayak Chaturthi, Dussehra and Ram Navmi.?
Zahara Begum is appealing to the Muslim community to offer donations for the construction of the temple through Nidhi Samparna, during the Nidhi Sekarana program. People can choose to donate whatever they can and even an amount as small as Rs 10 is encouraged.
She said that she has noticed that Hindus have donated their land for construction of mosques, idgahs and graveyads for the Muslim community, while working in villages over the last 10 years.?
"Non-Muslims have donated a great extent of cultivatable land of their volition to Muslims," she told Deccan Chronicle. Hindus have also helped in the construction of masjids,?idgahs?and?kabarastans?(graveyards), she said.

She added, "We are blessed to be in a country where Lord Ram was born. We are fortunate that the temple is going to be built during our time. Lord Ram has taught?Dharma?as a way of life and stands as an exemplar for the entire world."
"Let us come together and participate in this divine activity and help in the construction of a great Ram temple at Ayodhya with an open heart," she said.
