January 14, 2015

Abu Dhabi: Emirates India Fraternity Forum-Abu Dhabi sector organized a program for expatriate Indians on life and message of Prophet Muhammad at Air Lines Restaurant Hall, Abu Dhabi on January, 9, 2015.

The program started with the recitation of the Holy Quran by Mr. Rasheed Bejai.The Program was graced by the presence of Mr. Siddik Mulki, Mr. Majeed Aladka, President of EIFF Abu Dhabi Sector, Mr. AdilShamshuddin, Trade Unit Head, Hilal Bank and Mr. Iqbal Pandeshwara.

Mr. Majeed Aladka, in his welcome address gave a short presentation about the Emirates India Fraternity Forum (EIFF) and its recent activities such as Blood Donation, Free Medical checkup camp, dispatch of Dead bodies to India, Sports meets etc. He explained about the assistance to the needy in job search, legal assistance. He also touched upon about the importance of this holy month of Rabi-ul-Awwal and also various social schemes conducted by EIFF.

Mr. SiddikMulki, in his key address on ‘“guidelines from life of Prophet (PBUH) in present situation” stressed importance of the Teachings and Life style of Prophet Mohammad (SWAS). He narrated that before the birth of the Holy Prophet Sall-Allahualayhiwasallam, not only the Arabian peninsula, but also the so-called civilized nations were drowned in the darkness of ignorance, superstitions, oppression and unrest. The Holy Prophet, Sall-Allahualayhiwasallam, came with the eternal truth of Tawhid (Oneness of Allah), the only faith which provides a firm basis for the real concepts of knowledge, equity and peace. It was this faith which delivered humanity from ignorance and superstitions and spread the light of true knowledge all over the world. He is a role model from all aspect for all mankind and his entire life should followed by all Muslims.

He mentioned several instances quoted in Holy Quran and Authentic Adhiths and from the life of the Prophet in which the latter demonstrated immense kindness, forgiveness and restraint while dealing with companions and fellow beings.

The recent incidents in India are mainly because we have forgotten the teaching of our prophet Mohammad (SWAS) and left behind his life style. The whole world is celebrating and conducting programs about Prophet Mohammad (SWAS) in the month of Rabi’ul-Awwal but our mission should not limit to only one month but it should continue throughout our life time.

Dubai: A 15-year-old Indian expat boy drowned after he was caught by huge waves in the sea off Mamzar Beach in Dubai.

Ahmed Abdulla Mafaz, a 15-year-old school student in Dubai, died while his sister Fathima, a university student, was rescued, according to their father Mohammed Ashraf. The family hails from Kerala’s Kasaragod.

The grieving father said the incident happened when the Indian expat family went for an outing at the beach park.

Recounting what happened, he said: “We were all sitting on the beach and playing around in the water. I had just gone to the washroom when it [the tragedy] happened.”

He said both Mafaz and Fathima knew how to swim and it was not clear how they were swept away.

“I think there were huge waves and they got pulled by the strong current.”

Fathima’s screams for help were heard by another beachgoer who rushed to rescue her. “He is an Arab national. He rescued our daughter. We have no words to thank him,” the father said.

However, there was no sign of Mafaz, a grade 10 student of New Indian Model School in Dubai.

Meanwhile, the police were called in. Dubai Police said they received a call about two persons drowning.

“As soon as we received the report, the rescue team from the Ports Police Station in Dubai conducted a search,” a spokesperson said.

However, there was no luck on Friday night. The search operation was intensified with divers and drones on Saturday, following which the boy’s body was fished out on Saturday evening.

The family has decided to lay him to rest in Dubai once the legal procedures are over, said Ibrahim Berike, a member of the volunteering team from Kerala Muslim Cultural Centre (KMCC) that is providing supportfor the paper work.

He said the family is shattered after the devastating tragedy. “They have four children. Fathima, who is doing MBA, is the eldest daughter. Mafaz was the third child. His other two siblings are also boys. Their mother, who was also there on the beach, is inconsolable,” he added.
