In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Senior-Minor - Nursing Homes & Daycares
By Irshad Mahmood – Director, Siraat-al-Mustaqeem Dawah Centre
Today
our seniors/elders are suffering and tomorrow it could be us followed
by our children and then our grandchildren because of our extreme
rigidness. Many of us don’t want to open our eyes in
21st century and still want to live in
7th
century by believing that ‘We Are Right’, so question arises that then
why this Ummah is suffering the most in the beginning of
21st
century for many centuries and don’t want to wake up yet. No human is
perfect but still we don’t have any patience/tolerance to listen to
each other, so that perhaps I could be wrong so let listen to others
what they are saying about me or my faith/believe etc., because of
which still sleeping in
7th century and behaving like deaf, dumb and blind.
I
swear by the time, Most surely man is in loss, Except those who believe
and do good, and enjoin on each other truth, and enjoin on each other
patience, (Al_Quraan_103:001-003).
To Do Good does not
only mean just one thing, but needs to see broader picture of it which
includes fixing Global Economy as well. Global Economy is hurting
humanity very badly in the beginning of
21st Century.
Many
of scholars give bold speeches on looking after our parents and giving
clear references from the Quraan and really Authentic Hadeeth, but they
forget to realize the time for which Allah strongly mentioned in the
Quraan. We need to take guidance from the Quraan according to time and
reflect on it and not just practicing on few verses of it and taking
lateral meaning rather need to take it according to the time as well.
During the Muslim Empire people need to take care of their parents,
when technology was not so advanced and even if someone is taking care
of their parents, they were getting full support from Islaamic
Government. Whenever they come out of that situation, job is there and
they can start working immediately. Today in the beginning of
21st
century when modern technology is rapidly changing and human are being
replaced by superfast robots/machines, if one is away from work few
years, it is extremely hard to find another job. Hiring robots and
firing humans is going on but robots/machines don’t eat apples or
oranges, so their farms and businesses will be shutdown. A single
machine may replace thousands of human but I have never seen a single
person replacing a single machine.
Remember:
In many Muslim Countries there is no support for people helping their
parents. Those who have big mouth raising five fingers on those who are
suffering don’t have any courage to help them finically or by other
means.
Example of Concept of a Daycare:Prophet
Muhammad (Peace-Be-Upon-Him) stayed with his foster-mother, Halimah
bint Abi Dhuayb, until he was two years old, that was the
Concept of a Daycare.
So
it is ok to have daycare where trained women with true love with the
humanity, can help others to leave their kids for the day, so that
other women can concentrate on their work. All schools need to upgrade
to have daycare facilities with online monitoring facilities for
parents, around the globe, if they don’t have yet.
Urgent Need to Build Senior-Minor - Nursing Homes & Daycares:Prophet
Muhammad (Peace-Be-Upon-Him), built Masjid Nabawi, where not only
ritual prayers were performed, but also Marriage Ceremony used to take
place in addition to providing education and training in many
discipline to Muslim Ummah. Our Masjids must reflect Masjid Nabawi, of
the time Prophet Muhammad (Peace-Be-Upon-Him).
West have learnt
lessons and built fully government funded many Nursing Homes for their
seniors, as well as they have built many fully government funded
Daycares for their children and leading the world by working together
as one team.
Global Government must build fully funded Senior-Minor - Nursing Homes & Daycares without any discrimination.
Remember:
During the time of Muslim Khalifa especially during the time of Hazrat
Umar who is the founder of many government supported special programs
for their citizen without any discrimination.
We
Muslims Fully Trust on Our Families (our Spouses, Children and Grand
Children) who will be fully in charge of our inheritances as per
Quraanic Laws and allow them for all decisions about us, when we are
very old (above 75 years) or not able to make our own decisions due to
any sicknesses etc. We sacrifice many things for our families,
support our Children and Grand Children and don’t want to give them
hard time when we get old or after our death as well. Also we don’t
want unnecessary Delaying our Burials for Death Investigations etc. and
increasing the costs.
It
is My Last and Final WILL as well as my suggestions for all to minimize
funeral costs to its’ lowest including using our own old clean/washed
cloths and give new cloths or equivalent money to Global Charity. Let our children shine like stars on the sky.
REMEMBER: To Establish True
Deen-e-Ibrahim we need Good & Effective
Team Planning.
Non-Practicing Muslims are like ASS / Donkey carrying books, (Ref: Al_Quraan_062.005).
None argue concerning the revelations (Ayaat) of Allah but those who disbelieve …, (Ref: Al_Quraan_040.004).
Hypocrites Read the Quraan BUT Practices Something Else.
There will be NO CHANGES WITHOUT ACTIONS, (Ref: Al_Quraan_013.011).
