<p>Alkhidmat Marked International Day of Persons with Disabilities, Acknowledging Equal Opportunities for Disabled Persons in Social and National Life.</p>

<p><br />
As of now, Alkhimdat has hit the milestone of distributing wheelchairs to over 37,000 physically disabled persons across Pakistan that is a testament to the Alkhidmat&rsquo;s ongoing commitment to enhancing the quality of life for those facing physical challenges.<br />
Alkhidmat organized ceremonies across the country, with a special ceremony held at Multan Road in Lahore in this regard. Cash prizes were awarded to a large number of position holder students, and 50 physically disabled individuals received wheelchairs, while an additional 50 visually impaired persons were provided with white canes.&nbsp;<br />
The ceremony was attended by key figures, including Secretary General Jamaat e Islami Pakistan(JIP) Ameer ul Azeem, Vice President Alkhidmat Zikrullah Mujahid, President Alkhidmat Central Punjab Ikram ul Haq Subhani and Alkhidmat officials. The event was also attended by representatives of organizations working for the welfare of disabled persons, including Hamza Foundation, Rising Sun Education &amp; Welfare Society, Blind Daily Wager Union, Right of Special Person, Roshni Foundation, and Friends of Paraplegics.<br />
The International Day of Persons with Disabilities has been commemorated by Alkhidmat Community Services Program for several years, guided by the vision of &#39;leave no one behind.&#39; The observance of the day aims to promote an understanding of disability issues and mobilize support for the dignity, rights, and well-being, while also acknowledging equal opportunities in social and national life for disabled persons.<br />
Speaking at the event, Secretary General JIP Ameer ul Azeem said that today&#39;s day calls for a commitment to make all our institutions and centers friendly to special people. &nbsp;Every special person of the society is our responsibility and the rights of these people are our duty, he urged. All the organizations working for the welfare of the disabled should come together on one platform and work not only for the implementation of the existing legislation for the special persons but also for the welfare of the disabled, he concluded.&nbsp;<br />
Vice President Alkhidmat Zikrullah Mujahid mentioned on the occasion that according to UNDP statistics, the number of disabled people in Pakistan is over 14 million. To reduce the hardship of such individuals, Alkhimdatt provides thousands of wheelchairs every year under the Alkhidmat Community Services Program and has provided 7,000 wheelchairs across the country this year alone, while more than 37,000 wheelchairs have been distributed since 2012. President Alkhidmat Central Punjab Ikram ul Haq Subhani, said that the purpose of celebrating this day is to express solidarity with people with disabilities in all spheres of society.<br />
The program concluded with an awareness walk in solidarity with individuals with special needs. On this occasion, the special persons expressed their gratitude to the Alkhidmat Foundation for its continuous support.</p>

<h1>&nbsp;Protect Your Health Now</h1>

<h1>&nbsp;</h1>

<p>As smog envelops various regions of Pakistan, posing a significant health hazard, it&#39;s imperative to prioritize our health and well-being. Smog, a toxic blend of smoke and fog, drastically reduces air quality and presents numerous health risks. The Alkhidmat Foundation Pakistan is at the forefront, creating awareness and supporting communities during these challenging times. In this guide, we delve into the health effects of smog, its symptoms, and essential precautions to minimize exposure to this environmental menace.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<h3>The Effects of Smog on Health:</h3>

<h3>&nbsp;</h3>

<h3>Respiratory Problems:</h3>

<p>Smog is laden with pollutants like particulate matter, sulfur dioxide, and nitrogen oxides, which originate from industrial emissions and vehicle exhausts. Breathing in this polluted air can exacerbate asthma, trigger bronchitis, and increase susceptibility to respiratory infections.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<h3>Cardiovascular Health:</h3>

<p>There&#39;s a tangible link between smog exposure and an uptick in heart attacks, strokes, and other cardiovascular issues. The fine particulate matter in smog can infiltrate the lungs and bloodstream, triggering inflammation and adversely impacting heart health.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<h3>Eye and Skin Irritation:</h3>

<p>Smog can cause eye irritation, redness, and discomfort. Similarly, the skin may react with dryness, rashes, and itchiness due to the chemicals and particulate matter.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<h3>Recognizing Symptoms of Smog Exposure:</h3>

<p>Common signs include shortness of breath, coughing, wheezing, chest discomfort, irritated eyes, sore throat, and in severe cases, dizziness and confusion.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<h3>Precautionary Measures:</h3>

<h3>&nbsp;</h3>

<p>Frequent Handwashing:</p>

<p>Regular handwashing, especially after returning home, is vital. It helps remove contaminants that might be inhaled or transferred to other surfaces.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<h3>Limit Outdoor Activities:</h3>

<p>Reduce travel and outdoor activities, especially in areas with high pollution levels, to minimize exposure.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<h3>Eye Protection:</h3>

<p>Wear glasses or sunglasses outdoors to shield your eyes from irritants.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<h3>Proper Waste Disposal:</h3>

<p>Avoid burning garbage, as it releases harmful chemicals, worsening air quality. Opt for eco-friendly waste disposal methods.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<h3>Use of Face Masks:</h3>

<p>Wearing masks like N95 can filter out harmful particulates, offering an additional layer of protection.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<h3>Staying Informed:</h3>

<p>Keep abreast of the local Air Quality Index (AQI) to assess daily pollution levels and take necessary precautions.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<h3>Community Engagement:</h3>

<p>Participate in or initiate community efforts like carpooling and clean-up drives to collectively reduce smog.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<h3>Conclusion:</h3>

<p>Smog poses a grave threat to our health, but by staying informed and adopting these simple but effective guidelines, we can safeguard ourselves and contribute to improving air quality. The Alkhidmat Foundation Pakistan remains dedicated to raising awareness and promoting health and well-being, especially under the shadow of environmental challenges like smog.</p>

Alkhidmat's Essential Guide to Combating Smog

<h1><strong>Reaching the Most Vulnerable</strong></h1>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>What does &quot;vulnerable&quot; mean? A vulnerable person is someone in need of special care, support, or protection due to age, disability, or risk of abuse or neglect. Vulnerable people are often defenseless, unprotected, and susceptible. Many spend their lives in slums and dingy areas, struggling to meet even the most basic necessities of life such as food, clothing, shelter, and clean water. They live in despair with a seemingly hopeless future, uncertain whether they&#39;ll even get a single meal in a day.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>Contrast this with individuals like us, pursuing our wants and desires, chasing a lifestyle filled with excess and luxury. While we strive to uplift our social status, those vulnerable people are barely able to meet their basic needs. Isn&#39;t it our duty to help these underprivileged families mitigate their suffering? Shouldn&#39;t we bolster the spirits of the destitute by fulfilling their basic needs? Why can&#39;t we sacrifice a part of our wealth to decrease someone&#39;s miseries?</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>In this time of hyperinflation, vulnerable families are facing hunger. Many go to bed starving without access to three meals a day - a basic right for everyone. Think of the orphans, widows, unemployed, and underprivileged families who yearn for a meal, clean drinking water, or shelter. There are hundreds of such people around us, yet we often lack empathy.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>As a community, we must work together to alleviate the suffering of these vulnerable people. They too have a right to access basic life necessities. This Eid Ul Azha, we have the opportunity to make a significant impact in their lives by donating a share of our Qurbani with Alkhidmat Organization Pakistan. Alkhidmat will ensure that the meat reaches those most in need.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>Baqra Eid symbolizes compassion and sacrifice. This Eid, we can ease the sufferings of the vulnerable, bringing joy and hope to their lives. We can be a beacon in their darkness. Help Alkhidmat this Eid Ul Azha in providing meals to the needy. Donate as much as you can from your Qurbani share. Even a small effort can alleviate the starvation of these struggling families.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>Let&#39;s be the change, let&#39;s be a ray of hope in someone&#39;s life, and let&#39;s help Alkhidmat reach its target of serving meals to the maximum number of needy families.</p>

<h1><strong>Social and Economic Benefits of Qurbani</strong></h1>

<h1>&nbsp;</h1>

<h2>Introduction:</h2>

<p>Qurbani, also known as Udhiyah, is an important Islamic tradition where Muslims around the world sacrifice an animal during the time of Eid al-Adha. While the primary purpose of Qurbani is to fulfill religious obligations and demonstrate devotion, this act of sacrifice brings forth numerous social and economic benefits to individuals and communities. This essay explores the social and economic advantages of Qurbani, highlighting how this practice can contribute to the welfare of society.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<h2>Social Benefits:</h2>

<h2>&nbsp;</h2>

<h3>Enhanced Sense of Community:</h3>

<p>Qurbani encourages social cohesion, strengthening bonds among family members, neighbors, and communities as they unite in sharing the joy of Eid.</p>

<h3>Alleviation of Hunger:</h3>

<p>A significant social benefit of Qurbani is the provision of meat to those in need. The distribution of meat from the sacrificed animals to the poor and less fortunate promotes equity and compassion, helping combat hunger and malnutrition.</p>

<h3>Fostering Generosity and Philanthropy:</h3>

<p>Qurbani provides an opportunity for individuals to practice generosity and philanthropy, cultivating a spirit of giving, kindness, and empathy within society.</p>

<h2>Economic Benefits:</h2>

<h2>&nbsp;</h2>

<h3>Livelihood Support:</h3>

<h3>Qurbani serves as a source of livelihood for many individuals involved in the livestock industry, including breeders, herders, traders, butchers, transporters, and retailers.</h3>

<h3>Economic Stimulus:</h3>

<p>The surge in livestock trade during the Qurbani season boosts local economies, driving economic activities, increasing sales, generating income, and stimulating business growth in rural areas.</p>

<h3>Sustainable Agriculture:</h3>

<p>The practice of Qurbani promotes sustainable agricultural practices, leading to improved animal husbandry techniques, responsible land use, and the preservation of traditional farming knowledge.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<h3>Conclusion:</h3>

<p>Qurbani holds significant social and economic benefits for individuals and communities. Beyond its religious significance, the act of sacrifice during Eid al-Adha fosters unity, compassion, and generosity. It addresses social issues like hunger and poverty by providing meat to the less fortunate. Furthermore, Qurbani stimulates the economy by supporting livelihoods in the livestock sector and enhancing economic activities. By recognizing and appreciating the social and economic benefits of Qurbani, we can fully grasp the holistic impact of this tradition and its potential to create a more prosperous society.</p>

Alkhidmat Qurbani: A Social Impact

<h1><strong>Embracing the First 10 Days of Dhul-Hijjah: A Spiritual Guide</strong></h1>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>The ten days of Dhul-Hijjah are among the great blessings Allah has bestowed upon His servants, deserving of profound appreciation. Just as righteous and good people value this time, every Muslim should recognize this blessing and seek to perform more righteous deeds during these ten days.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>During these ten days of Dhul-Hijjah, Muslims should consider the following actions:</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<h2>Fasting:</h2>

<p>It is Sunnah to fast on the 9th of Dhul-Hijjah, as the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) emphasized good deeds during these ten days. Among good deeds, fasting stands out, as Allah has chosen fasting for Himself. In a Hadith Qudsi, Allah subhanahu wa ta&#39;ala says: &quot;All the actions of the son of Adam are for himself, but not fasting, because it is for Me and I will reward him.&quot; (Sahih Bukhari:1805)</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<h2>Saying Takbirs:</h2>

<p>During these days, it&#39;s recommended to say loud takbirs, &quot;La ilaha illa Allah,&quot; and &quot;Alhamdulillah&quot; to express worship and announce the reverence of Allah. Men should say this in a high voice, and women in a low voice, as guided by Surah Al-Hajj:28.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<h2>Performing Hajj and Umrah:</h2>

<p>These actions are among the best deeds one can perform in these ten days. &quot;There is no reward for performing Hajj except Paradise.&quot; (Al-Tirzami:938)</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<h2>Engaging in Good Deeds:</h2>

<p>During these days, focus on obedience, prayer, recitation of the Holy Qur&#39;an, dhikr, dua, charity, respect to parents, enjoining goodness, preventing evil, and other righteous acts.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<h2>Sacrifice:</h2>

<p>Seeking closeness to Allah through sacrifice on the 10th of Dhul-Hijjah is a way to honor these days, as guided by Surah Al-Hajj:34.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<h2>True and Firm Repentance:</h2>

<p>Emphasizing repentance is vital. Turn towards Allah, abandoning what He dislikes, and strive to avoid future disobedience. Immediate repentance is crucial, as emphasized in Surah Al-Qasas:67.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>Thus, a Muslim should cherish this special time, acting quickly to seize these opportunities. These blessings are bestowed upon those Allah wills, leading to joy in this life and reward on the Day of Resurrection. As stated in Surah Zilzaal:8, even an atom&#39;s weight of evil will be seen, so let us strive to do righteous deeds and receive our Lord&#39;s blessings during this month of Dhu al-Hijjah.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

10 Days of Dhul-Hijjah: A Guide

<h1 align="center"><strong>Sacredness of&nbsp; Dhu&#39;l-Hijjah.</strong></h1>

<h1>&nbsp;</h1>

<p>Dhu&rsquo;l-Hijjah marks the twelfth month of the Islamic calendar and is notable for its unique importance, as the annual Hajj pilgrimage occurs in the holy city of Makkah. Hajj is one of the Five Pillars of Islam and is obligatory for financially and physically able Muslims to perform at least once in their lifetime. The first 10 days of Dhu&rsquo;l-Hijjah lead up to the climax of the Hajj, making them even more sacred.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<h2 align="center"><strong>The Virtue of the First Ten Days of Dhu&#39;l-Hijjah.</strong></h2>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>Understanding the importance of these 10 days and utilizing them effectively can bring numerous benefits to a Muslim&#39;s life.</p>

<p>The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) described these days as the best and &nbsp;most virtuous days of the year.</p>

<p>These days are so sacred that Allah swears an oath by them:&lsquo;By the dawn; by the ten nights&rsquo; [Qur&rsquo;an, 89:1-2]</p>

<p>And Allah also reminds us: &lsquo;Remember Allah during the appointed days&rsquo;. [Qur&rsquo;an, 2:203]</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>Ibn Abbas reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, &ldquo;<strong>No good deeds are better than what is done in these first ten days of Dhu&rsquo;l-Hijjah</strong>.&rdquo; Some companions of the Prophet said, &ldquo;Not even jihad&nbsp;in the way&nbsp;of Allah?&rdquo; The Prophet said, &ldquo;<strong>Not even jihad&nbsp;in the way&nbsp;of Allah, except for&nbsp;a man who goes out with his life and wealth at risk and he returns with nothing</strong>.&rdquo;[ Ṣaḥih al-Bukhari 969]</p>

<p>Muslims are encouraged to engage in abundant acts of worship and maximise their reward during the best ten days of the year. Here are some righteous deeds you can do on these days,</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<h2 align="center"><strong>Dhikr</strong></h2>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>&lsquo;Abdullah ibn &lsquo;Umar (may Allah be pleased with him and his father) reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: &quot;There are no days greater in the sight of Allah and in which righteous deeds are more beloved to Him than these ten days, so during this time recite a great deal of Tahlil (&quot;La ilaha ill-Allah&quot;), Takbir and Tahmid.&quot; [Reported by Ahmad, 7/224; Ahmad Shakir stated that it is sahih].</p>

<p>The Eid takbeer is an example of dhikr&nbsp; that meets all three criteria - tahleel, takbeer and tahmeed.</p>

<h2 align="center"><strong>Fasting in the first nine days</strong></h2>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>In a hadith Qudsi, Allah says, &lsquo;All the deeds of the son of Adam are for him, except fasting, which is for Me and I shall reward for it&rsquo;. [Bukhari]</p>

<p>If you can&#39;t fast for the full nine days, try to fast on the Day of Arafah, which is the ninth of Dhu&rsquo;l-Hijjah. Arafah is the most blessed day of the year, just as Laylat al-Qadr is the most blessed night of the year. <strong>The Prophet (saw) said, &rsquo;There is no day on which Allah frees more people from the Fire than on the day of &lsquo;Arafah&rsquo;. (Muslim)</strong></p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, &quot;Fasting the day of Arafah (9th day of Dhu&#39;l-Hijjah) expiates the sins of the previous year and the coming year.&quot;</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>In addition with fasting, </strong>maximise <strong>Sadaqah</strong> during the first ten days of Dhu&rsquo;l-Hijjah, <strong>Hasan al-Basri (rh) said, &lsquo;Going to fulfil the need of your brother is better for you than performing Hajj after Hajj&rsquo;.</strong></p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Increase recitation of Holy Quran and pray Tahajud to get most out of these ten days.</strong></p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<h2 align="center"><strong>Last but not the least give a Prophetic Qurbani.</strong></h2>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>The first 10 days of Dhu&rsquo;l-Hijjah culminate in the celebration <strong>of Eid al-Adha</strong>, also known as the Festival of Sacrifice. This joyous occasion commemorates the willingness of Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) to sacrifice his son as an act of obedience to Allah. Muslims around the world offer animal sacrifices and distribute the meat to the poor and needy, emphasizing the values of generosity, gratitude, and compassion.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>Abu Talhah (ra) reported, &lsquo;The Prophet (saw) sacrificed for the one who could not sacrifice from his Ummah, one who bore witness to the Oneness of Allah and [his] Prophethood&rsquo;. [Tabarani and Ahmad]</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>You also have the opportunity to follow a beautiful sunnah and give extra qurbani during Dhu&rsquo;l-Hijjah to maximize your reward. This not only revives a forgotten sunnah but also doubles your impact by providing even more families with a rare meal of meat during the days of Eid ul Adha.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>Sadly, we often display lesser dedication towards these 10 days compared to our enthusiasm (MashaAllah) during Ramadan, despite them being considered the greatest days of the year. It is primarily due to a lack of awareness regarding the virtues and rewards associated with these days. Therefore, it is crucial for each of us to become advocates of spreading awareness about the significance of these 10 days. By enlightening others about the importance and blessings tied to these days.</p>
