Nurse Teams Up with Charities to Give Muslim Healthcare Workers Gifts in Ramadan

In recognition of their efforts over the past long months of pandemic, a Muslim nurse has teamed up with UK charities and organizations to give away packets to help Muslim healthcare workers during Ramadan.

Nurse Yusra, medical professional and Instagram blogger, teamed up with various UK based organizations and businesses, including the charity Islamic Relief UK, to deliver gifts to various Muslim healthcare professionals for Ramadan.

The blogger, who has been volunteering for Islamic Relief UK for several years, is known for running online initiatives which bring underrepresented healthcare professionals together.

“I’m delighted that so many organizations, including Islamic Relief UK, have jumped at the opportunity to support Muslim healthcare workers,” nurse Yusra said of the ‘Chains of Charity’ campaign, In Your Area reported.

“As Muslims in healthcare, we often feel under-represented. Like myself, there are individuals who have experienced negativity on shifts due to the color of our skin, what we wear (hijab) and our beliefs – my Instagram and this initiative are about uniting these individuals, our Muslim community, who might otherwise feel isolated being the only Muslim on their ward/workplace”.

The UK-wide initiative will focus on items gifted as Sadaqah Jariyah, which will benefit Muslims working during these testing times.

The 20 packages include Islamic Relief UK healthcare and COVID essentials including a pocket prayer mat and hand sanitizer. Also a fasting Dua (prayer) card by Do Me A Favour London.

The past months have seen Muslim doctors worldwide on the frontline playing critical roles in the fight against the novel coronavirus.

Dr. Omar Lateef, president and CEO of Rush University Medical Center in Chicago, was honored with the Top Muslim Achiever 2020 award in December 2020.

Australia Post has also released a set of stamps honoring people who have continued to serve and protect their fellow Australians in the face of the global pandemic, including a hijabi Muslim.

List of Times and Places Where Dua is Accepted

A short reminder regarding the recommended times of dua . And I think what you need to know here is that the recommended times of dua or recommended things that can cause your dua to be accepted, can be divided into two sort of large groups: Am I Good Enough to Make Dua for Myself? Situations where your dua is accepted. Times where your dua is accepted So I’m going to very briefly mention them one after the other as much as possible. As for situations where your dua has been accepted: – The person who has been wronged or oppressed . – A person who finds themselves in severe difficulty after a calamity has struck. – The person who is traveling. – Someone who is fasting. – The one who is reciting the Quran or has just recited the Quran – Someone who is performing Hajj or Umrah or jihad. – The one who is making dua for someone in their absence . Because we know that when you make dua for someone in his absence an angel says: “ Ameen and to you”. – A person...

Ghuraba (The Strangers): Nasheed with English Subtitles

Islam began as something strange, and it shall return to being something strange, so give glad tidings the strangers. (Sahih Muslim 145) This famous nasheed has many versions; this one is from Muhammad al-Salman and has the subtitles in English embedded. [We are] strangers and we do not bow the foreheads to anyone besides Allah  […] Transliteration to help in the pronounciation:  Ghurabaa’ wa li ghairillaahi laa nahnil jibaa Aisha Stacey  wrote in an article for Aboutislam.net : “I think that many of you would agree that being Muslim in the 21st century makes you well acquainted with being strange. It might even be a metaphor for random, as in you have been randomly selected. […] many converts to Islam will tell you about feeling as if they were strangers, before finding Islam. They will speak of feeling that they belonged somewhere else that their lives were just slightly off center. They often speak about a vague sense of knowing they were not like everyone else...

Taqwa – Living the Main Purpose of Ramadan

Taqwa is a major purpose for the month of Ramadan. The people of taqwa are those who do the things that they are commanded and avoid the things which Allah has made prohibitive. And evidently, to reach a state of taqwa requires vigilance, it requires patience and sincerity. The verse is pertaining to fasting I found in a single set of verses in chapter 2 starting at verse 183: O you who have believed, decreed upon you is fasting as it was decreed upon those before you that you may become righteous. ( 2:183 ) A Collective Act of Worship Allah is telling us that fasting has been made obligatory and then Allah tells us that just as it was prescribed for those before us. We often get asked this question in Ramadan, “how’s the fast going for us?” And if we gave ourselves a moment to think about it, we see that Allah Most High has made the fast inside the month of Ramadan easy for us because we know that there is a collective spirit to fasting; we know that we’re not alone in this ...
