Muslim Social Services

Arshad i took a snap off this Dilbert strip because it reminded me of how they treated you at your old work place :D

The other night i went to an event where Sh. Abdullah Hakim Quick was talking, but there was also a showcase of a number of Muslim social services groups: Sakinah, Muslim women's helpline, As-Sulh was-Salaam, Muslim Youth Helpline & the Muslim Mediation Service.

I was really impressed by some of the presentations, and its good to see that the community has dedicated and professional people there to help try and solve some of the wack situations that are occurring within our community. Some of the stuff they mentioned was shocking: rape, homosexuality, depressions, all sorts.

But they are in desperate need of funding. I'll post up the links to their sites shortly, insha'Allah, so if you have any cash to spare, please send it the way of one of these worthy organisations.

I am so glad they are offering their services....for far too long these kinds of issues have been suppresed and in the middle eastern countries still are...you are lucky you are in the UK where such services are available to teh Muslims...
