Dr. Basheer Ahmed, recognition Mubarak

I
am pleased to share this exciting information about Muslim Heroes.  

Indeed, we do thirst for leaders who would take the initiatives and become a catalyst in bringing about a positive change for the entire community. It brings a sense of security knowing the work done by these men and women restores pride, fulfillment and a sense of bringing stability to the community and nation, and sail through turbulence with confidence that the good we do will ultimately bring goodness to the entire Umma; the American community at large.

The one thing that is appreciated by every American is service to humanity,
regardless of whom they are, people appreciate the service. The world is a
better place today because we take care of our neighbors, through this; all of
us are ultimately cared for. It is indeed sad, that there still some out there
who need help, and we all need to do the best we can.

Look
at the role of Red Cross during the Sandy havoc, even the president pitched in
to ask people to send in the donations. There are several Muslim organizations that
have taken up the responsibility including Islamic Relief, Aga Khan Foundation
and several others represented by different hues of Islam.

 Indeed, there are great examples of community building
through services such as Catholic Charities, Jewish Hospitals and others, to
serve and as a product receive respect. Muslims are working on it, and have
succeeded in many places; they have embarked on providing health and human
services to the indigents who have no insurance. We have several such
organizations and one among them is Muslim Community Center for Human Services.

Everything
in life starts with a dream, usually by one person, and that dream becomes a
reality by persistent pursuit of serving others. These men and women simply won’t
give up, their commitment to serve is to be lauded.  One such man amidst us is Dr. Basheer Ahmed. Way
back in 1994, I remember Dr. Ahmed’s struggle in establishing this center; we
had appreciated and recognized his efforts at the Thanksgiving Dinner
celebrations and awards night in 1994.

Now
this man, Dr. Ahmed is putting the Muslim services on the National Map. The Muslim
Community for Human services is appreciated and recognized by the Alliance for
Healthcare, as Health Care heroes, the award will be presented to Dr. Basheer
Ahmed in a Dinner in Dallas.
