Yeah and fixing those pot hole roads too! Far too many of them, community will be very grateful by doing that.

Also run campaigns such as promoting hijab and Islamic dress, it can be tailored to the Bengali culture so long as it doesn't contravene Islam. Also campaign against prostitution and sex trafficking which leads to exploitation of women. And against political corruption.
I was surprised to see billboards on the rise in Bangladesh. But it's all adverts of Sari shops with images of uncovered woman. The Muslim entrepreneurs of Bangladesh should buy these billboards off, and maybe have reminders in Bengali. Also showing importance of Hijab.

Like your thinking, that's a great idea!
I know this might sound crazy, but I was thinking of this city idea. Read on :D...
I call this "Darus Salam" :Mosque:
Basically have our own city/village financed by us and controlled by us. The whole place will be abiding to the Shariah. There will be a main masjid, with an Ameer Ul Mumineen who controls the major decisions. We will allow any Muslims/Non Muslims to enter and see how peaceful the place is, we will lead by example. To live in this city you will have to submit an application form which has to be approved by the Ameer Ul Mumineen. All the kids in this city will be taught best character and high aspirations. We will have loads of scholars to guide the community. The people who live here will strive for excellence in all aspects of life, some may become hafidh/aalim and torchbearers of the Ummah. We will show the rest of Bangladesh who we are by excellence. Compared to the rest of Bangladesh we will have clean street, traffic system, no potholes, no violence, the best of people etc. To protect this city we will need military and our own police force. What if someone just walks in the city and causes havoc? To stop this we will have our own military guards, equipment and protection. To enter this city you will have to go through security checks at the gate of Darus Salam. And of course in addition we will have our own Islamic talks daily, economy system (Marketplace) and things for the community.
What do you think of this idea? Will Shiekh Hasina allow it or is this something prohibited? If not we can still make a city but the government may tell us no military is allowed. Bangladesh isn't like UK, you can literally build anything anywhere you want. With permission of course.
