MKA USA Response to the Oklahoma Tragedy

The leaders and membership of Majlis-Khuddamul Ahmadiyya USA, the Ahmadiyya Muslim Youth Organization, maintain solidarity with the people of Oklahoma and Texas. We too acknowledge the pain of families in Moore and Newcastle Oklahoma as well as all the areas affected. Our thoughts and prayers are with them and we are supportive of them in their long journey to recovery. As believing youth, we recognize that there are many questions that come up when loss of life, property and peace of mind occur. In spite of these challenges as brothers, friends and neighbors, we support the devastated communities that are affected. We pray for their recovery and their overcoming of all challenges. We all belong to God, and should He call us back may He give strength to the loved ones we leave behind. As a youth auxiliary pledging service to our nation and countrymen, we are merging with Humanity First in providing volunteers to affected families.

Fact of the Day

If all Qur'ans in the world today were burned and destroyed, the original Arabic would still remain. This is because millions of Muslims, called Hafiz (or "preservers") have memorized the text letter for letter from beginning to end, every word and syllable. Also, chapters from the Qur'an are precisely recited from memory by every Muslim in each of the five daily prayers.


Some shining examples:

1. Mubashir Hafeez came from Maryland with 4 Khuddam for 2 weeks in a row


2. Hibbi Iqbal leading the volunteer recruitment effort and team leading on the ground

3. Zahir Manaan and the Ct Khuddam have been coming on every weekend

4. Tariq Malik and Ohio Khuddam drove 13 hours to come and help

5. Umair Jamil served hot foods to thousands the night before his exam

6. Salaam Bhatti with mud all over his clothes after gutting out houses in Long Beach

7. Central Jersey Khuddam kept coming for 3 straight weekends gutting out houses

8. Mudassair Choudhry from Brooklyn "it is our priority to go and help"

9. MKA Canada came to help for a week – They received Hand Shake with president Obama

10. Dr. Nadim Ahmed giving medical help in Staten island since first week

 

Since November 1st, Humanity First—a 100% volunteer organization—has served over 7000 hot meals, has provided the help of over 5400 volunteer hours, 3000 direct volunteers hours and additional 2400 volunteer hours to the people in need through collaboration of other NGOs. They worked with Homeland Security, FEMA, and the American Red Cross, with people of all backgrounds, races, and faiths, to help those afflicted by this terrible disaster.
