Abu Halifa, Jul 31: The Fahaheel and Abu-Halifa units of Indian Muslim Association – Kuwait in cooperation with Islam Presentation Committee organised an interfaith iftar party at Sheikh Bader Ahmed Sabah hall, Abu Halifa.

Delivering a lecture on ‘Know your creator’, NRI activist Sharafuddin Soofi, said that belief in the God will have major implication in every aspect of every individual’s life and hence it should be an intelligent, well thought of choice rather than just a blind adherence of traditions. Quoting verses from various religious scriptures, he emphasised that all major religions fundamentally teach monotheism and similar attributes of God.

He further said that our own body which is very complex in nature with inherent temperature balancing system, digestive system, immunity against diseases proves that we have a creator and purpose of life.  God has provided us with intelligence and freedom of choice to make better choices for our life including faith in God.

He said, “God conscious person should be compassionate towards fellow human beings, animals and environment. God will not forgive any atrocities committed towards fellow human beings unless the fellow human forgives him.”  He also answered questions from the audiences on various aspects related to fasting and Islam.

Nisar Ahmed, a research analyst from Kuwait Institute for Scientific Research held a presentation on the impact of fasting on human life. He mentioned about the medical and spiritual benefits of fasting.

Jitendra Panchal, Balram Naidu, Bora Dwaipayan and T Bala, who were the guests of honor representing various major associations in Kuwait also addressed the audiences and appreciated the efforts of IMA in bringing together people from different faith.

Large number of people from various faiths and representatives of various associations attended the gathering. The programme was convened by Parvez Hanif. Vote of thanks was proposed by Mansur Abbas. The programme started with the recitation of the verses from the holy Quran by Master Omar Abdullah and concluded with a buffet dinner.

Mangaluru, May 22: An elderly cardiac patient from Dakshina Kannada, who was stranded in Saudi Arabia due to covid-19 lock-down, has finally reached his homeland thanks to the timely intervention by Humanity Forum Jubail and Indian Social Forum.

The elderly man hailing from Kadaba area of Dakshina Kannada was admitted to a hospital in Madinah. However, his condition continued to worsen due to lack of proper treatment. The efforts by his family members to bring him back home had not yielded results.

Meanwhile, one of the relatives of the patient, Ansari Suratkal, who happens to be a DKSC activist, brought the issue to the notice of the Karnataka unit of the Indian Social Forum in Dammam. ISF contacted Humanity Forum president Zakariya Jokatte, who helped the patient to speak directly union minister D V Sadananda Gowda in a video conference organised by coastaldigest.com.

Humanity Forum also persuaded the Indian Embassy to allow the stranded cardiac patient to fly back to India through Dammam-Bengaluru repatriation flight on May 20. 

However, it was not easy for the patient to travel from Madinah to Dammam International Airport due to lock-down and curfew. ISF not only obtained travel permission for him but also arranged vehicle. Jeddah and Riyadh units of ISF helped in obtaining permission letter in their respective places in spite of travel ban imposed by the police. Madinah unit of ISF arranged vehicle for transportation. Zakariya Jokatte bore the air ticket and other expenses of the patient.
