Umma Clinic - Masha' Allah.

[Ibn Adam]

Someone pointed this out to me this morning and masha' Allah it looks like a successful and unique project.

Umma Community Clinic (http://www.ummaclinic.org/)

I remember some years ago moving within London and due to the shortage of GPs and the over subscription of patients in the new area, I found it extremely difficult to get a GP for myself and my family.

The only option given to me was the geographically closest practice which was an Christian Missionary medical practice recently opened in the area (I guess because there's a high Muslim population in the area; more souls to save, etc).

I checked it out and saw the various leaflets and posters that lined the practice's waiting rooms and thought there's no way I want my family going to clinic that openly professes it's status as being missionary.

I had to kick up a fuss on religious grounds of objection with the find-a-doc service through the NHS to be allowed to get on the books of a non-religious GP.

But at the time I thought to myself why aren't their any Islamic faith based projects similar to the Christian missionary one that I had to fight to stay away from.

Masha' Allah, I can see that some brothers and sisters in the states have taken that initiative and I pray that similar projects open up in other countries and communities.

Jazahum Allahu khayran to those involved.

Music in the video,

beardless brothers,

sisters without hijab or niqab,

and to top it up: American accent


We don't need these ppl to help the Umma... We need more cynical Muslims.

[Ibn Adam]

Yeah, I forgot to make the usual "Beware music in clip disclosure."

There may very well be other problematic areas in the clinic too but I'd much rather sit in a clinic that had a picture of the ka'bah door on the waiting room wall, and ascribed itself to Islam, than one with merely a comical heart characture skipping and telling me to exercise more regularly.

Whilst there'll be problems with the project I personally give them more props than those of us who'd think about doing something like this and then abandon the idea out after reflecting upon the numerous difficulties in making it 100% shari'ah compliant.

Plus if it served to motivate others to start their own practice but to increase in the Islamicness of it, that'd be a good thing to my mind.

Isn't a problematic something better than a non-existant nothing?

[Abuz Zubair]

Hold on a minute...

Should these Muslims even be there in the first place?! (remember the magical solution to all our problems? hijra?)

[Abuz Zubair]

Oh yeah, they are treating a people at war with Islam! Shouldn't they be doing their Islamic duty and injecting them with HIV?

(this is all sarcasm, so don't indict me!)

[Ibn Adam]

(this is all sarcasm, so don't indict me!)

Ok, let me join in too.

and to top it up: American accent

Allahu akbar, where's the bara' from the kuffar. We should have "Islamic" accents and not imitate these kafir ones.

For example, "Ve need more vimin dotors" or "Dr. Gamal BHD"

[Abuz Zubair]

Yeah... We should have our Islamic East London accents... init bruv!

[abu imaan an-nepalee]

no-one is perfect, at least alhamdulillah these muslims used what skills they had 2 serve their community in the name of al-Islam

[Abuz Zubair]

no-one is perfect, at least alhamdulillah these muslims used what skills they had 2 serve their community in the name of al-Islam
ok... but, are they salafis?

[Abu Ilyas]

ok... but, are they salafis?

Rather, let that be an example to the Salafyoon. Stop dreaming and start building.

[y-mughal]

(this is all sarcasm, so don't indict me!)

Don't forget to include the polling booth ready for election time in one of the corners for the 'Democratic Muslims'.

[abu imaan an-nepalee]

ok... but, are they salafis?

don't seem like it.

[Abuz Zubair]

Rather, let that be an example to the Salafyoon. Stop dreaming and start building.
Stop dreaming? Astaghfirullah! How can you even dream about stop dreaming?

[abu imaan an-nepalee]

Stop dreaming? Astaghfirullah! How can you even dream about stop dreaming?

huh????????

[abootalha]

Ya Ikwaan,
We should ask the mashyakh about this issue. stop the kalam. We have to warn against them until we get the clearence from the tulab.

[Ibn Adam]

Imagine if you needed an ijaza or two "thiqah" brothers to vouch for your manhaj before you could receive medical treatment.

Nurse: Doctor, hes' gone into cardiac arrest! We need to do something now!

Doctor: One of the ikhwah is on the phone to the mashayikh seeking the ruling on this man as we speak. Abu Shadeed saw him give salam to a Tableeghi once and we need to be sure that we're not reviving someone from ahl al-bid'a.

[Abu Ilyas]

I can see it now: Hospital As Salafee.

[Abuz Zubair]

I can see it now: Hospital As Salafee.


Duh! Its...

al-Mustashfa al-Salafiyya... Pure, clean and hygienic!

Erm... I think it would just be ONE person running the show... We don't want no groups and parties, brother.

Or, if its a Jihadi, it would be something like this:

Nurse: Doctor, hes' gone into cardiac arrest! We need to do something now!

Doctor: We will, but first we must find out what he thinks of Saudi Arabia.

[Madarijas-Salikeen]

lol Allaah bless those upon the middle path between two extremes

lol!

Patient "Could I register at this surgery please?

Receptionist "yes of course - what manhaj are you upon?"

[Ibn Adam]

Another group:

Nurse: Doctor, he's gone into cardiac arrest! We need to do something now!

Doctor: You are inferring that he will die if I do not help him, which is a matter of belief. Yet you alone are informing me of this and I do not take matters of belief that are narrated in solitary chains.

[Madarijas-Salikeen]

Nurse: Doctor the patient has died!

Doctor: What are you talking about his pulse is just fine?!

Nurse: You do not understand the inner knowledge, He has died and become the essence of essence, come with me ill show you your lord!

[Abuz Zubair]

Nurse: "Doctor! He's having an epileptic fit!"

"Great! So am I!", says the Sufi Doctor enjoying a Hadra session.
