Members from the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community Slough & Burnham visited 50 residents at the Salt Hill Care Centre on Christmas Day to extend Season’s Greetings and hand out Chocolates to residents and staff.
Salt Hill Care Centre is located on Bath Road, Slough and provides residential and nursing care for elderly and those coping with dementia.
Members sat with the residents and wished them a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to come.
Over 40 members including men, women and children gathered on a chilly morning alongside members from other faiths to serve humanity through the plantation of trees that would grow to be symbols of peace and shade.
Vice President for the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community Slough & Burnham, Atiq Ahmad Bhatti, says throughout the year alongside their social, faith and charitable events in and around Slough & Burnham, they also have programmes whereby they serve humanity through planting trees, donating blood, litter picking and our weekly feeding the homeless programme in Slough. "Islam teaches us to give back to the environment as well as mankind at large and we will continue to serve humanity and promote peace."
"The trees that have been planted today were also a mark of peace in response to the recent attacks in Paris. We strongly condemn the attacks in the strongest possible terms and pray for World Peace."
Atiq Ahmad Bhatti further added, “Our moto is: Love for All, Hatred for None. One of the core values of Islam is to serve humanity and in particular, great emphasis is placed on the rights of the elderly, ones neighbours and the needy."
"We really appreciated the opportunity given to us to visit this care home. Our community members across Britain visit care homes and feed the homeless not only during festive times but throughout the year. More recently, over 800 youth from our community are currently helping families who are affected by the flood in Lancashire and Yorkshire”.
