The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community visits the Elderly at St Vincent De Paul

In these festive days, when many people are occupied with buying clothes and gifts for them and their families, the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community Malta thought of the elderly to extend festive greetings and to present gift hampers to the residents of Saint Vincent De Paul, a long-term care facility. The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, who always believes in their motto “Love for All, Hatred for None”, visited the Saint Vincent De Paul care facility and they met with the residents and presented them with festive hampers and wished them happy holidays.

The staff members welcomed the gesture of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community and briefed them about the services that are being offered to the residents.

On this occasion, Imam Laiq Ahmed Atif, President of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community Malta, thanked for this opportunity and said that, the elderly persons are an integral part of society, they are our parents, and therefore it is important to take care of them, as they took care of us when we were children. They have always been an effective support for us in moments of challenges. We must take a good care of them and be always grateful to them, for everything that they have given us. The Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace be on him, said that: “One who is not grateful to people is not grateful to God either.”

In addition, it is extremely important that we regularly meet our parents and elderly, spend time with them, say kind and gentle words to them and show them love and compassion. Because: ‘the legs go where the heart is’. Indeed, this is a wonder way to make these holidays really memorable for us, our families and for all our loved ones. talk.mt – Newsbook – Times of Malta
