Nurul Haque/Agartala

In a touching display of compassion, students of an Islamic seminary in Tripura have raised Rs 11,000 to support the treatment of a 22-month-old girl battling a rare and life-threatening genetic disorder.

The child, Manuashree, has been diagnosed with muscular dystrophy, a condition that causes progressive muscle weakness and degeneration. Her family reportedly requires nearly Rs 18 crore for her treatment, including a life-saving but extremely expensive injection.

As her parents struggle to arrange the enormous sum, the Agartala-based Jamia Madania Darul Ulum Madrasa stepped forward to offer support.

What makes the gesture remarkable is that the madrasa itself runs on public donations, and many of its students come from economically disadvantaged families. Despite their own financial hardships, the students and teachers pooled their savings and contributed Rs 11,000, which was transferred digitally to Ramanashree's parents.

Madrasa principal Maulana Abdur Rahman said the initiative was inspired by Islamic teachings that regard saving a single life as equal to saving all of humanity.

"The teachers and students extended wholehearted support and prayed to Allah for the child's speedy recovery," he said.

Perhaps the most moving aspect of the initiative is that many of the student donors themselves grew up in poverty. Yet they chose to share what little they had to give a young child a chance to live.

Their contribution may be modest compared to the staggering cost of treatment. Still, it carries a far greater message—one of humanity, compassion, and communal harmony that transcends economic and social boundaries.
