Overall Review:

                           We visited the children’s ward in the holy family hospital. The five of us divided into two groups and visited different wards. We went to each mother, asked them about their family, from where they came, what was the problem with their child, what have the doctor told them, for how long have they been in the hospital, were they satisfied by the hospital staff. We backed them up, told them to be hopeful about Allah’s help and tried our best to connect them with Allah. We explained to them the importance and necessity of reading Quran and understanding it. Before leaving each patient, we gave them shifa cards, cassettes and pamphlets etc. 

Response:  Everyone of them greeted us warmly. They were so happy see us. They were so eager to know about their religion. They wanted us to sit next to them and talk for hours. They sent us back with a lot of prayers.   

 

 We are Allah's helpers…

COMMENTS

 

Saman Saleem:  I had very different feelings when I met the people. I enjoyed a lot because the people I met were very sweet and frank. That was really an unforgettable experience for me. ALHUMDULILAH. 

Sana Nawaz:   After meeting the children, I felt really grateful to Allah that He has made me in perfect form. If He had wanted He could have involved me in any disease, and I couldn’t have prevented it. I could really feel Allah’s Greatness and Power after visiting the hospital. ALHUMDULILAH. 

Sumera Mumtaz:    When we went to the hospital and visited the children ward, I was thinking that the people won’t take much interest in our talk but I got a very positive response from them. When I gave them the shifa cards, I saw hope in their eyes that this was the way. When we moved from one patient to another, others were waiting to listen to the message of Allah. I think that we should visit the hospital every month and illuminate them with the light of Islam. This work was made much easier with Allah’s Help.

ALHUMDULILAH.

AISHA SAFEER:   It was my first experience to share others’ pain and worries. Before going there, I didn’t had the slightest idea that how much people need us. I don’t have the words to explain my condition when I saw the mothers watching  their children in pain, but when we encouraged them and turned their thoughts towards Allah, I saw hope on their faces. I was so happy to see their interest in further knowing their religion. Everyone was so happy to meet us, especially when we gave them cards and cassettes. I felt a new bond created with Allah. I felt really happy by going there, I was spiritually so satisfied. Inshallah I plan to do the same again because we never know that these people who came from such distant places can be the source of spreading the light of Islam in their areas. I feel that everyone has a seed of wellbeing buried in their hearts, it only requires watering which is our job now. Inshallah I plan to do further such visits. ALHUMDULILAH. 

Sahar Pervez:  This was my very first interaction with the people in the hospital. I wasn’t sure about the type of response we will get but I was absolutely amazed to see their hospitality, they talked with us as if we knew each other very well. They were desperate for company. And I was further amazed to see their quest for the knowledge for deen. I think visiting hospital is an excellent opportunity to do iblaag. I would request the community department to arrange further such visits with the students. ALHUMDULILAH.

 

 

        My welfare is only in Allah.
