A Perfect Eid Gift
 
Baltimore Majlis

Franck, a 20-year-old student, converted to Islam in January 2018. At the beginning of Ramadan, he was looking for a mosque and found Bait-us-Samad Mosque in Roseland, MD on Google. He sent a text to the Imam and Sadr Jama’at, quickly connecting with them and scheduling a visit to the mosque. He lives far from the mosque, so he walked for 45 minutes to get there. Franck came to the mosque at 11 AM and waited for about two hours for someone to show up. He then stayed at the mosque all day, spent time with Imam Abdullah Dibba, offered his Prayers, and left at 11 PM. He insisted that he wanted to sign the Bai'at that same day, and he did. Alhamdulillah!

He had a bike that he used to get to the mosque during Ramadan. When someone stole his bike, he again made the 45-minute walk to Bait-us-Samad without a single complaint. Upon noticing this, a Khadim offered to give Franck ride to the mosque. On Eid-ul-Fitr, Majlis Ansarullah Baltimore purchased a bike for Franck so he could be connected to the mosque more easily—a perfect Eid gift. When asked about his stolen bike, Franck simply replied, “The person who took the bike might have needed it more than me.”
  

  
Alhamdulillah!

May Almighty Allah make him a true representation of the Jama’at of the Promised Messiah (may peace be on him).

Free Health Services
 
Syed Tanvir Ahmad, Qa'id Health
 

Objectives of the Department of Health, Majlis Ansarullah USA is two-fold—1) promotion of healthy lifestyle through health education 2) free medical services.

Promotion of Healthy lifestyle

Our humble contribution is through providing members with current information on health maintenance, prevention of disease, best disease management, and organizing programs and clinics at regional and national events. Local Majalis strive to follow initiatives provided by the National Ansar Department of Health to bring positive change in members with adopting healthy lifestyle.

Free Medical Helpline

A free medical hotline with a toll-free number was established a few years ago that members can call to seek care. All members of the USA Jama’at have access to this service which is especially beneficial to those who are not covered through some medical insurance program. By the grace of Allah—with very limited resources—we provide the following services.

• In Person or telephone consultation to patients within 24 hours or less
   
• Our physicians at times go to patient’s homes for consultation and treatment
   
• Physicians also assist patients to connect them to a Health Care Facility even when they have insurance coverage
   
• Arrange consultations with specialists via telephone, Skype, office visit, or sometimes in patient’s home
   
• Second opinion
   
• Consultation with dentist—both in office and over the phone

By the grace of Allah, we honor calls from anywhere in the world. While bulk of our calls come from USA, we have catered calls from Canada, Pakistan, Australia, and Germany.

We serve about 150-200 calls a year. We also see over 300 patients during regional and national Ijtima’at.

We hope to expand this service as more and more member physicians volunteer for this service.
