Dr. Naseer Humayun was working his first day at a hospital in Bethlehem, Pa. when the planes hit the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001.
He was making rounds in the hospital’s ICU when he glanced up at the television and saw on tower in flames. Then, another plane hit the second tower.
“I was absolutely stunned,” said Humayun, a Dalton physician. “Everything slowed down and I prayed in my heart that people would get out.”
Since that day, Humayun has tried to somehow mark that date, when he said terrorists also hijacked Islam.
This year, as he has previously, Humayun will participate in a “Muslims for Life” blood drive, from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday at the Bait-ul-A’ta Mosque, 1800 Willow Trail Parkway in Norcross. The event is sponsored by the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community Georgia, in conjunction with LifeSouth Community Blood Centers. Muslims for Life is part of a national campaign.
The blood drive is being held in memory of the victims of Sept. 11.
There will also be an interfaith seminar at 4 p.m. on terrorism in Islam and compassion for God’s creation.
