Ceremony Honors Muslim Scouts for 911 Service to their Country
On Sunday, September 14th, the long awaited moment had finally arrived from Muhammad Ismail A. Shahid and the other hundred or so Muslim Scouts who answered the call of service to their country during the weeks following the 11th of September. The International Quranic Open University (I.Q.O.U.) and its staff sponsored a dinner and awards ceremony honoring the scouts for their monumental serviced despite the fact that their own government and the Western media failed to acknowledge their service.
Local officials such as the mayor of Deposit, New York, and the state police department were some of the invited guests. Honor Scout, Ismail A. Shahid from Islamberg, New York, spoke about how he felt honored to help his fellow country men and women in need. Scout Leader, Talibdeen A. Haqq, who had organized scouts in Tennessee to mobilize on September 12th and join the efforts in N Y, said, “it is the Islamic way of life to help those in need.” Other scouts and scoutmasters spoke on their experiences that day as the audience sat in utter silence giving full attention to the detailed descriptions being given by the speakers and to the closing remarks of Scout Master, Shuaib Ahmed of Holy Islamville, South Carolina.
Guest speaker Muhammad Salih, of Mian Mir, Michigan explained all the trials and difficulties the scouts endure without making one complaint during the relief efforts where the tirelessly delivered supplies and assistance to fire stations and relief shelters throughout New York City. They worked as close to the site of the disaster itself, as possible as up to a month after the tragedy took place.
Master of Ceremony, Honorable Khalifa Muhammad Atiq Qadri, finally encouraged those gathered not to pay attention to hasty conclusions and accusations concerning who is behind the attacks, but to take care to gather all the facts and derive their own conclusions.
