I hope you all will be fine.
My name is Yasin Arshad and I am working in a private organization. I am writing you all for the financial support of my mother's liver transplant. She is patient of Hepatitis C for last 5 Years. And now she certainly needs transplant. Her MELD (Model for End-Stage Liver Disease) points are above than 42 (T.Balirubin = 2.5 mg/l, S.Cretenin = 1.34 mg/l, PT = 17.2 Per Sec) which are too high. Being her sole son, I am trying my best to raise funds for her transplantation. And sending you this e-mail for getting favor from your side. I have not sufficient amount to proceed with transplant. So it will be great if you please help me. Currently, we are getting treatment from Prof. Doctor Gias Un Nabi Tayyab (Gernal Hospital, Lahore).
I am appealing and begaging to all that if somebody like to help me. It will be his / her great fovour on me and God will certainly rewarded him / her. And I am very much optimistic that God will help me as I am struggling to save my mother’s life.
I have all the recent reports (CBC, S. Crete nine, PT, Ultra sound, Endoscope report, and old reports of PCR, and Trans Juggler biopsy) with me which I have enclosed for your reference. Please review all and do help me in this regards. I am sending you this e-mail with a hope that you will surely reply and help me out in such a worst situation. As current cost of Liver transplant in India and China is about 40 to 45 Lakh (50K US$) which is a big amount.

Orphanage for Tsunami effected children in Royal County UK:
Dear Henna
You may remember that Maidenhead pulled together after the Tsunami to help a village, which we helped to fully rebuild. We then moved our efforts to help
build an Orphanage for the kids from our adopted village whose parents had died.
Well a number of the children have been sponsored to visit us in May to thank us.
I attach an invitation to Tea on Friday 21 May to welcome the children and their
carers.
I really hope you can join us. We achieved so much together and it would be
lovely to meet the young adults whose lives we helped transform.
With best wishes
Nigel

Conference on Family & Relationships in Faith's Perspective:
April 18th 2010
Town Hall Slough
Royal County
In the name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful!
Renaissance Readers Club UK
organized a conference on the Topic:Relationships and how does our
belief in God & Accountability effect them; in the Royal county of
Berkshire Town Hall Slough~as a part of our 'Faith Anchor' series The
discussion was based on Social issues in Islam and other religions. The
speakers comprised of the members of Slough , Maidenhead and Reading
Interfaith Groups including Slough Faith Partnership.
The conference was chaired by
Dr.Henna Khan (Chair Renaissance Readers Club UK and Vice Chair- Slough
Faith Partnership Berkshire)
The
theme was based on our Meeza'n (Balance) course 'Family & Marriage'
that how clearly God has said in Qur'an that the humanity itself is a
one big family, Adam and Eve being their parents. The best amongst all
is the one who is the best in deeds . How the relationship of spouses
is placed high in all the divine Revelations as the survival of human
generations is based on this strong but delicate tie! Also that the
family unit is a building block of a society which demands sacrifice
and 'giving' at every step and broken families result in a wounded
society. How to support young people to initiate serious relationships
early in life rather than a 10 to 15 years period of 'testing and
trying' following which most never feel they are able to start or
continue a serious & responsible relationship in order to lay a
foundation of a family where young and old could find security and
shelter.~because they never got into the habit of tolerance and
sacrifice for a long term relationship during their initial years of
youth when they were more strong to learn and practice such. And
because family is also like a plant that needs nurturing like anything
else~ be it our professions, careers, bank balance and other skills in
life. How can we expect to eat the fruits of a tree which we never
bothered to look after in the first place? How the governments come
under pressure to look after and save a society which is not helping
them by nurturing their strong family and relationship ties in order to
solve some of their basic problems at-least so then the govt can put
it's hand on them as parents and support further. We can't expect the
State to hold our finger for everything~ specially in the times of
economical crunch. We will have to help them by playing our part as
well by protecting & promoting the natural human values.
All speakers from various faiths came up with brilliant points. Some are quoted below and we shall add more as we recv.
Christian Perspective was given by Rev. John Newton. Speech
was unwritten but the point of view conveyed very elaborately
describing the connection of family ties with God and His blessings,
specially during difficult times.
A Muslim Perspective by
Arshad Gamiet "Arshad Gamiet is a writer and illustrator. He and his
wife own a private healthcare business. He is a contributing editor of
khutbahbank, a website publishing articles and sermons for the Muslim
community. He is a member of the Faiths Council at Royal Holloway
University of London, Chairman of the Islamic Welfare Association of
West Surrey, a Trustee of the Amana Educational Trust and a Director of
the Trustworth Group"
The Importance of Relationships
Slough Town Hall, Sunday 18th April 2010
“Should
we look up to the Government for everything or can strong family ties
resolve our problems? How does faith in God, accountability and the
life to come affect our relationships?”
A-oothu bilLaahi minash shaytaanir rajeem. Bismil-Laahir Rahmanir Rahim!
My dear friends, As-salaamu’alaykum, I greet you in the traditional Islamic way, which in Arabic means, Peace be with you!
Let
me begin by saying that every major world faith promotes the Golden
Rule, the ethic of reciprocity, of “doing unto others as you would have
them do unto you.” Islam is no exception, and Prophet Muhammad taught
us that “a Believer is not a Believer until he desires for others what
he desires for himself.” Good, healthy human relationships begin with
our attitude. Where do we place ourselves in relation to others, and in
the wider scheme of things?
In the modern world, we live in a ‘me’ centred universe, where the
Ego is king. We seem to have lost the balance between our personal
self-interest and our communal well-being. Powerful economic forces are
at work here. Media moguls spend millions pandering to our lowest
instincts in order to sell their tabloids and to promote their
political agenda. Politicians are more concerned with the next election
that with the next generation. The advertisers, those hidden
persuaders, deploy every trick they know, to massage our fragile egos.
From billboards and TV to radio and print media, our senses are under
constant bombardment: “It’s your life. It’s your choice, go on, spoil
yourself, indulge yourself, because you’re worth it….” The adverts urge
us to “unlock the equity in your home…” as if the equity is trapped in
there, struggling to get out and so we can spend, spend spend…
Billion-dollar industries exploit our greed, our human insecurities and
our vanity. We’re constantly urged to buy things we don’t need, at a
price we can’t afford, with money we don’t even have. We treat Planet
Earth, the only home we and our future generations will ever know, as
if it’s just a giant shopping mall orbiting the sun.
Our credit card debts in the UK are now over £1 trillion. We spend,
spend, spend but somehow real, lasting happiness is as elusive as ever.
Family life as we used to know it in more frugal times has become an
endangered species. Teenage pregnancies, single parent families, high
divorce rates, loneliness, poor mental health, alcohol and drug abuse,
knife crimes and gang warfare tell us a sad story. No wonder our human
relationships are in disarray. How can we mend our society?
Islam teaches me, as a Muslim, to put things into perspective. I
cannot live in a ‘me’ centred way. Nothing really belongs to me, not
even my own body. I came into this world with nothing and I will leave
it with nothing except the result of my actions, good and bad. My life,
my health, my family and all my material possessions have been loaned
to me as a Trust. I am a trustee, and I must take good care of
everything under my control. My generous Creator will hold me to
account. This life is not all that there is. Death is not the final
curtain. It’s only a transitional stage to another state of being. When
I die, my body will turn to dust, decomposing into its constituent
elements, the gases and liquids, the calcium and magnesium and carbon,
returning to the earth whence it came. But my soul will not die. My
soul is the real ‘me,’ that indestructible ‘breath of God’ that was
inspired into my body when I was born. That soul will endure, and it
will bear witness to what I did in this life. My lifelong struggle is
to rise above my ego in order to purify my soul and to return it to its
rightful owner in a pristine, factory-perfect condition.
If I look around me and if I reflect deeply on my life, I will find
that I have so much to be thankful for. And that’s really all that my
Benefactor wants from me: To say thank you; to acknowledge Him and to
show my gratitude through big and small acts of kindness to others.
This is what ‘worship’ actually means in Islam. It’s not about growing
a long beard and wearing holy robes, praying in the mosque all day.
Worship is about translating God’s love into actions that benefit
others. Muslims call their benefactor Allah, but you may call Him God,
or Deus, or Yahweh, or whatever Holy Name you choose. Allah is not the
god of Muslims only. It’s the Arabic name for God and it’s important to
know that if you read the Arabic Bible, you’ll find that Christian
Arabs also worship Allah.
Muslims are told that life is a gift, that everything we have is a
gift, on loan, on trust. We have an awesome responsibility to discharge
that trust faithfully. So, instead living in a ‘me’ centred universe,
instead of banging on about our rights and demanding more and more, we
should be taking responsibility: taking responsibility for ourselves,
for our families, taking responsibility for our communities. We should
be eagerly serving others and adding value to our society and to our
natural environment.
To put it simply, Islam teaches me to look at the world in 3
dimensions. There’s a lot of hype about 3D films and 3D TV these days,
but that’s something else. As a Muslim, I do not just see myself and
the world out there in a 2-dimensional way, me and everything around
me. That’s not all that there is. I must be constantly aware of a
Reality that lies beyond the threshold of our five senses. I must be
constantly aware of God, aware of Allah’s watchful, loving and merciful
presence. It’s me and everything out there, AND Allah watching over all
his creatures. It’s a kind of triangulation, a 3-dimensional
relationship. Even though I cannot see Allah, I know Allah sees me. He
observes my interaction with others. This is the essence of my faith.
And this is the bedrock of all my relationships: with people, with
animals and plants, with the earth that nourishes us, the water we
drink and the air we breathe. Islam also teaches a strong environmental
ethic.
A caring attitude will earn me my Lord’s good pleasure, and it will improve and add value to all my relationships.
At
the human level Islam teaches me not to fear diversity but to accept it
as a sign of God’s infinite creativity and artistry. We are all like
flowers in God’s garden. We are beautiful each in our own way. We must
learn to accept our differences and celebrate our common humanity.
To show kindness to other people and to respect other religions, is
a way of showing courtesy to God. This is the essence of inter-personal
relationships in Islam. The Holy Quran tells us in a very inspiring
verse:
“O mankind, I have created you from a single pair of a male and a
female, and I made you into nations and tribes, so that you may know
and respect one another, not that you should despise one another.
Surely, the most honoured of you in the sight of Allah are those who
are best in good conduct. And Allah is well aware of all things.” [sura
Al Hujurat Ch49v13]
To sum up, remember the universal ethic of reciprocity, the bedrock
of all true faith, of desiring for others what we desire for ourselves.
Let us be the first to take responsibility, be the first to love and
the fist to forgive. We owe it to our children and to future
generations.
Thank you all for listening so patiently.
Jewish perspective: Speech by Nigel Cohen. Associated with Maidenhead Synagogue & Maidenhead Interfaith Group
Relationships and Religion
18/04/10
We find ourselves in
a particularly unpleasant financial environment. The bad news is that,
in my opinion, we are being shielded from around 50% of the weight of
the burden. As soon as the election is over, we will feel the real pain
of having to reign in our quite vast deficit. Luckily, the rest of the
economy is probably over the worst of its funk. But recessions are not
very equitable in how they hit. This recession has been particularly
unkind to the elderly and to school and university leavers. Too many of
the 1m or so people who were employed before the recession started and
who find themselves unemployed now, face a soul-destroying search for
work. It is very likely that the next two years will see dramatically
increased stress for a horribly large number of people, particularly in
jobs which serve the public sector other than the favoured
“ring-fenced” few.
The fairly inevitable consequences are an increase in discontent
and disillusionment. Society is wonderful in many respects, as are
medicinal drugs to the sick. But as with invaluable drugs, our society
has a number of unpleasant side effects. One of them is an unfortunate
way we have of valuing people. In a raw commercial world, you and I are
valued by almost nothing other than what businesses can get out of us.
Mothers are amongst the most invaluable people in society. But we do
not pay them to bring up our kids. If they do not work, they are not
paid and they are able to spend the time children need to develop into
the next generation of upstanding members of society. If mothers get it
wrong, the costs to society last for at least a generation. Yet because
earn nothing, mothers have a value of precisely nil in economic terms.
They do not produce assets that are bought and sold. They do not
generate earnings. The money they spend is earned by someone else – it
is the earner who is attributed with the economic value.
Generally, people who are at the bottom of the ladder in terms of
earnings are hardly valued. Economic migrants and asylum seekers are
seen as contributing nothing to society. Well if they do not earn, how
can they pay taxes? Perhaps it is not surprising that these people earn
so little, where employers can be criminalised for employing the wrong
type of person. Or put it another way, we ask people to work and the
work contributes to employers earning even more, because they pay so
little to their workers. The worth to the economy is there. But because
they are not given their fair share, they are viewed as if they take
everything and give nothing. Yet if you ever doubted immigrants
contribute to society, you need look no further than the wealthiest
country in the world. America was built on almost nothing other than
immigrants and asylum seekers. So somehow, our materialistic wealth
generating society of today bestows on us a very strange way of valuing
its members.
Religion, of which Judaism is one, is different. People are valued
in their own terms rather that in terms of the monetary amount that
others can make from them. In Judaism, as in most other religions,
no-one is worth more than anyone else. Everyone is part of the
religious community. Everyone has unfettered rights. No-one is superior
to anyone else. People are loved because God says we should love
everyone, with no regard to their wealth or status or religion or
politics or power.
There is a story in Judaism that dates back to the eighteen
hundreds. A very revered Rabbi, a leader in prayer and religious
understanding of Jews, was touring an impoverished village, when some
young kid sneered something along the lines of “if you think you are so
clever, tell me what Judiasm in one breath”. There was stunned silence
as people glared at the kid, fearful of having upset such an important
man. The Rabbi smiled at the boy and said “I can do one better. I will
do so standing on one leg”. He lifted his leg, looked at the child and,
addressing his comments to everyone standing in earshot said something
along the lines of “The whole of the Bible is about just two things.
One is that there is a God, just one God, a Just God who you should
love with all your heart and with all your soul, and the other is that
you should love your neighbour as yourself. The two commands take up
all of thirty lines in the Bible. The whole of the rest is all about
how you go about doing it.”
In Judaism, there are vast number of very details rules about how
we should act and how we should relate to each other. There are rules
on what we eat and when we work. There are rules on how we pray. But
there are also a vast swathe of comments, suggestions and commands
about how we need to treat each other in peaceful and harmonious
coexistence. In Judaism, this is what makes a good Jew. There are rules
that govern caring for people who are old or sick. We need to take care
of them. There are rules on how we get on with our families. We are
commanded to respect our mothers and our fathers – respect them
irrespective of how they behave with us. Providing a solid and loving
home for children is demanded. Teaching our children how to behave
properly and respectfully towards others is demanded. How we relate
with people we do business with is governed. We must never take
advantage of anyone. If we ever enter into a contract, we must honour
its terms fully, both to the letter and in spirit. If we farm, we need
to leave around one tenth of the produce unharvested to provide food
for the poor to take. Even better than giving food to the poor is
allowing them to collect the food for themselves. We must help those in
our society less fortunate than us, but we must do so in such a way as
to ensure there can be no loss of dignity of the person who is in need.
How we give to charity is very carefully calibrated. There is a lovely
scale of what constitutes good charity. Giving money directly to
someone in need is good, but is at the bottom of the scale. Giving
money to a group that will give them money indirectly is better,
because the recipient does not face the indignity of feeling he or she
is begging. But even better is giving money to someone in a way that
the recipient does not know who gave them the money. The motivation for
this can not be to expect gratitude for the gift, which puts it on a
higher lever. And so on, until the highest form of charity – giving
someone the means to earn their own keep so they never need to rely on
handouts again.
There are many, many rules. But the essence of Judaism is all about
forming solid, ethical, caring and trusting relationships with others.
When we can achieve this, society is strong. We work well together when
we are rewarded properly and fairly for the work we do. Strong
societies are much more efficient and productive societies, providing
more for everyone, both materially and spiritually. Trust and respect
and peace of mind is delivered only by strong societies. In fact,
peaceful and harmonious existence is the product of a solid society.
But it is all built on the quality of relationships we have with each
other.
In this ultimately materialistic society we find ourselves in,
Religion has a great part to play in helping us to recalibrate what we
put into society, which directly determines what we get out.
Living
in times where so many people are under such immense financial
pressure, in an atmosphere where prejudice and hate are made to feel so
at home by so many people, now is absolutely the time to hold meetings
such as these. Now is the time for us to communicate the religious
messages of loving, respectful and tolerant attitudes towards others,
towards our families, friends, our close neighbours and our not so
close neighbours. Now is the time to let people know they are loved and
respected not for the things they do or do not have, but for who they
are and for nothing else. And it is religion that has a leading part to
play in this communication of the path to love and peace.
Hindu perspective by Pandit Naresh Saraswat: Speech unwritten. Described the nobility and association of a traditional family set up of love & faith with Hindu Gods.
Quakers perspective by Sarah Griffin. Chair Reading Interfaith Group. Written
Speech (copy not recvd) View of quakers on humanity, peace and the role
of family ties and relationships in protecting these values.
Brahma Kumaris. Meera Gyan: Speech unwritten.
Phrased the basic concept of purification in the BK faith and the same
ideology within human relationships. Gave information on celibate life
style practiced amongst the BK as a part of their faith that is based
on purification but at the same time the sacred concept of human
relationships and love & giving that results out of them.
Sikh perspective by Rani Bilkhu Speech unwritten. The
infrastructure of Sikhi faith based on the love of God & family
values. Special mention of equality of the genders amongst the families
and condemnation of female fetocide in India.
-
The chair requested Pandit Naresh and Mr.Gamiet to give
their views about female fetocide and each described this practice
based on ignorance & greed rather than any religious teaching.
Visitors: Some
of our visitors also joined in to comment. Three of them were finance
specialists, hence gave a very good picture of the present situation
about the economical crunch in Britain and the possibility of support
to the society & the government from the strong family structure.
One gentleman who opined was a professional electronic engineer and had
special interest in interfaith studies. Sister
Maryam Gamiet gave a brilliant suggestion about organizing regular
sport & discussion sessions with our youngsters in the county from
various faith and ethnic backgrounds. We shall hopefully discuss this in our future meetings iA.
The meeting was concluded with thanks and the hope to reunite soon on this & other relevant topics in faith. iA
Two
songs of MJ that were chosen for the breaks as a background were
relatet to peace & equality(as our muslim participants wondered why
was this DJ included at this faith based occasion?? <364.gif> nothing was without a purpose :)
here they are with lyrics~you'll hv to read the full lyrics to get the message across
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6WJrtms8EoQ
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zjZwi_PJiio
for example this one from his 'black & white' :
(causing grief in human relations
it's a tough war on a global scale
i'd rather hear both sides of the tale;
see it's not about races
just places, faces, where your blood comes from
is where your space is;
I've seen the bright get duller;
i'm not going to spend my life
being a colour
don't tell me you agree with me
when i saw you kicking dirt in my eye!
said if you're thinking of being my brother,
it don't matter if you are black or white)

Just waiting for your reply
mazhar sayeed
0321-2995725
Mazhar sahib,
Many govt. hospitals in Pak now treat kidney patients free. If
the patient needs transplant you arrange a donor from family and
the surgery is done at no charge. Even in private sector SIUT
is one, Sharif Medical City in Lahore is another. So just register
with them and hopefully they'll do the rest.
But dont expect them to buy kidney for your wife. You'll have
to do that from within the family.

Our S.E. Asian EarthQuake Project Director Dr. Rizwan
Haider has suggested the following task for the Season:
'In the forthcoming spring we could visit some one long forgotten
or one who you had some hard feelings about, forgetting the
past and forgiving everything that had stopped you from meeting.'
Spring is a season of Hope, not only for the lifeless plants
and the underground seeds and bulbs awaiting the gift of colours
and scents which they could own, as well as spread around--but
also for the humanity which always looks forward to something
nicer and better, each time life moves forward.We could be like
Spring or atleast a part of the Spring by becoming
a message of Hope and Happiness for humanity, even though for
a small part of it.
Message for Volunteers
Dear volunteers
assalamu alaykum(peace)
Hope you all are well.
We would be grateful if you could let us know about the winter
task; if you were able to make it; how was the experience? Also
what do you think should we take as our next season's task. Your
feedback matters to the work we plan to do via this site in order
to serve humanity.
Besides, if any of you is interested in compiling our site's news,
let us know please. We intend to bring them out twice a year atleast-winter
and summer.
We are pleased to inform that Dr.Tariq Dastagir (M.D) from US
has also joined as one of our coordinators. < tariqdastagir@yahoo.com>
We take this opportunity to send you our warm wishes for the forthcoming
2007:)
Regards
Team at Serving Humanity

Mr. Maan Al-Sanei, a leading businessman of KSA, has donated
sufficient funds to pay for the complete treatment and expenses
for 60 cases of kidney failure for those who can not afford
to pay the expenses. The expenses will include Kidney Transplant
in Sa'ad Specialized Hospital in Dammam, Saudi Arabia.
The Hospital has, so far, received few cases only. If you know
poor patients suffering a kidney failure, please let them know
about this opportunity. The following are the contacts of the
hospital:

Please forward this to your friends.
You never know, you may save someone's life.
Reminder about Task for Volunteers
Few of our doctor volunteers were wondering whether they have
to visit a patient as well, considering they do a ward round
and associate with patients regularly.
We think the visit we mentioned could be seperate from our routine
ward rounds and patients visits which we do as a duty. You could
see one of the patients during your breaks;someone you are aware
does not get many visitors and wishes to talk.
Secondly whether we should take something for the patients we
visit. Again although it would be a step forward to take some
flowers or fruit; however merely talking and showing sympathy
would be rewarding for someone in need and we are sure that
these few minutes we spend to serve humanity in this way would
not go in vain. A few minutes spent by each one of us will add
up to hours.
Quite a few of you are fasting; not only muslims but people
from some other faiths also have some of their fasts coming
in this season. We all are aware of the relationship of good
deeds and fasting.

out too
With warm regards.

Task for the Season for Volunteers
We plan to take up a task to be done in a certain period of time
and at the end of that time period we would appreciate if our
volunteers report to us how they did that particular task. This
would be an incentive for all of us and our site visitors as well
as a mile stone for our future plans to serve humanity. We start
with our first task; visiting atleast one patient in a hospital
in our area (one may visit more if wished so). The information
regarding which patient to visit and who is in most need of a
visitor may be received from the local hospital department after
introducing yourself as a volunteer of Serving Humanity and giving
our website address ; perhaps someone who does not have relatives
or friends around, a very old person or a traveller. We hope to
do this in our next season which would be important in a sense
that important events like Eid, Christmas, Hanuka, Ramadan, Dewali
and Hajj would be happening. So please note in your 'To Do' planners,
in diaries or your mobile/cell phones just like we note our other
important tasks. We will remind close to the end of this time
period in mid January to send us a note about your experience.
Please note that this is not an obligaton but a step forward to
help eachother exploring this sacred path of Serving Humanity.
Best Wishes
