I had the great opportunity of meeting the visiting Islamic scholar, Dr Bilal Philips. Being a person who has been seeing his great lectures and reading his books, he had assumed a larger than life halo in my mind. So it was a real pleasure to get a chance to meet the real Bilal Philips. As expected he turned out to be extremely friendly, simple and humble person, all of which are essential qualities of all great callers to Islam. He gave us (me and another medical colleague) valuable insights about Da’wa work that can be done by those in the medical profession. For one thing, he emphasized the need to arrange free medical camps.
Arranging free medical camps is something that we ought to have started long ago. There are many specialists among us who would volunteer. Insha-Allah we will very soon start on it.

Masha Allah, Really very truthful. Dr. Bilal is a very humble person. I too had met him in person.
ReplyDeleteAnd dr. Mauroof I hope that "mission" you will do very soon Insha Allah.
Salam Dr.Mauroof,
ReplyDeleteIts encouraging to know that some docs are interested in Da'wa and providing free medical camps at a time when the practice of most revolve around money.
With the constant uphill struggle in providing our services, the healthcare workers often tend to forget the humanitarian aspect of our profession.
Getting involved in activities like Da'wa & free medical camps will, above other benefits remind ourselves of our responsibilities towards our community & the muslim umma.
Hope u will share with us the valuable insights into Da'wa work you got from Dr. Bilal Philips.
