"lâ yuminu ahadukum hatta yuhibbu li-akhîhi ma yuhibbu li-nafsihi"
CFH-62
"He is not a believer who does not love for his brother what he loves for himself."
The principles of treating the illnesses of the soul
They are five: 
-lightening the stomach by diminishing one's food and drink,
-taking refuge in Allah Most High from the unforeseen when it befalls, 
-shunning situations that involve what one fears to fall victim to, 
-continually asking for Allah's forgiveness and His blessings
     upon the Prophet  night and day with full presence of mind, 
-and keeping the company of him who guides one to Allah.

Man Is Vice-Regent Of Allah On Earth.

    Allah the Creator of the universe created man as the best creature in all creation. He says in the Holy Qur'an:

We have indeed created man in the best of forms.
Sura The Fig (95) verse 4

   With the best of forms and due to his particular qualities man was exalted in his position as he was made vice-regent of Allah on earth. Allah even commanded the angels to fall down in obeisance to him. But it was man who took it on to himself to shoulder this big responsibility - amânah - and to discharge the duties as deputy of the Lord, with all the difficulties and suffering this entails.

Knowledge of four objects:

The objects of knowledge (al-ma`lûmât) are four:

1st. God, Allah who is not defined by any definition, nor limited by any limitation while He is the Absolute Concious Being (al-wujûd al-mutlaq). He is neither the effect (ma`lûl), nor the cause of anything (`illa). On the contrary he exists through His very Essence and His existence is not other than His Essence.

Knowledge of Him consists of knowledge that He exists.
His Essence remains unknown, whereas the Attributes that are attributed to Him are known. Knowledge of the reality of His Essence (haqîqat al-dhât) is impossible and to dwell on it leads to /confusion/.

2nd. The second object of knowledge is the Universal Reality (al-haqîqat al-kulliyya).
This reality is eternal when the Eternal is described by it (it belongs to God), and it is temporally originated when the temporally originated is described by it (it belongs to the world). So it is qualified neither by existence nor non-existence, neither by temporal origination nor eternity (al-qidam). No objects of knowledge - whether eternal or temporally originated - are known until this reality is known, but this reality does not exist until those things described by it exist.
• Eternal existent: it exists without a precedent nonexistence (`adam mutaqaddim), such as the Being of God and His Attributes.
• Temporally originated: it exists by means of something other than itself, such as the existence of everything other than God (mâ siwâ Allâh).
• The likeness of it would be the quality of wood in timber, in a chair etc. 'Woodness' lie within the reality of any of these things. //

3rd. The third object of knowledge is the entire world (al-mulk al-akbar).

4th. The fourth object of knowledge is man.

Ibn Al-`Arabi; from Fûtuhât Al-Makiyya; 118.33 ff

life time achievement ERDF Excellence award 2015 Dr Syed Iftikar Ahmed, AIDS PREVENTION SOCIETY, GUWAHATI, ASSAM, INDIA

Proud Moment. Our Dear Munu Ka Syed Ahmed getting life time achievement ERDF Excellence award 2015 for his work on AIDS in NE States.His NGO AIDS PREVENTION SOCIETY,GUWAHATI.

A Message From Dr.Syed Iftikhar Ahmed

My dear friends,                                

I  really feel  honoured to have recieved the ERDF Excellence Award 2015 from the Honb'le. Chief Minister of Assam and his kind words of praise  recognizing   our  work .                                        

 It  has been a  long journey.                             

 I feel overwhelmed with your warmth and wishes which makes me feel that the last 30 years of my struggle was worth fighting though when I look back I miss all those colleagues, friends and hundreds of young lives that we have lost on the way particularly in Manipur, Nagaland and Mizoram. . It was a frustrating fight. But I did not lose focus. My Heroin  drug user population with HIV and Hep  B and  Hep C co infection  were dying fast even before we could initiate ARV . When I was invited by the President of the UN to the UN General Assembly in New York  in 2008 and again in 2010 ,  I raised the issue of this co inf in North East India.  Advocacy paid off . Today we have range of free ARTs in  India and Hep treatment with Heroin substitution with Buuprenorphine in north east India unthinkable  ïn  the past.  My clients are living healthy and productive  for more than 20 years . HIV is now  a chronic manageable disease . I had to explain this in the Legal Colloq. for two days through my presentations   convened by Justice Ranjan Gogoi which was inaugurated by the Chief Justice of India and in presence of  a large number of legal luminaries of the country . 

Currently our organisation is involved  in AIDS Vaccine development programme  in collaboration with International AIDS Vaccine Initiative - IAVI.                       

 Thanks again to all of you.

I started my NGO work in Guwahati after my return from UK with the establishment of AIHC ( Assam Imdadiya Hospital Committee) in 1983 and the AAIS Clinic in Ambari in 1984. Late Shri Hiteswar Saikia , the then Chief Minister of Assam helped us and encouraged us in establishing the AAIS Clinic and seen in the pic examining him in the Clinic on the opening day . Today on his Death Anniversary we pay our homage to him . As founder Chairman of the Clinic along with our team of medical doctors comprising Dr Medhi and Dr M I Khan could provide free medical services to a large number of people since then including Lab Tests, Immunisation , regular health camps and Eye Check up Camps with Cataract surgeries throughout the state of Assam .

Groundwater contamination cases rising in State

Ajit Patowary
 GUWAHATI, Jan 28 - Cases of contamination of groundwater in the State are swelling up everyday, making groundwater unsafe for consumption. According to the official data, the number of the State’s districts which have got their groundwater contaminated by fluoride and arsenic has shot up to 22 and 21 respectively from 19 and 20 respectively in 2014-’15.
According to the data available with this newspaper, in 2014-’15, the arsenic affected districts of the State included Baksa, Barpeta, Bongaigaon, Cachar, Darrang, Dhemaji, Dhubri, Goalpara, Hailakandi, Jorhat, Kamrup, Karimganj, Kokrajhar, Lakhimpur, Morigaon, Nagaon, Nalbari, Sivasagar and Sonitpur.
This year, Tinsukia has also been found to be affected by arsenic, raising the number of affected districts to 21, said the sources.
Till 2013-’14, nine districts – Barpeta, Dhubri, Goalpara, Golaghat, Jorhat, Kamrup, Karbi Anglong, Karimganj and Nagaon – were found to be affected by fluoride.
But in 2014-’15, with the inclusion of Baksa, Cachar, Chirang, Darrang, Dibrugarh, Morigaon, Nalbari, Sivasagar, Sonitpur and Udalguri, the number of affected districts rose to 19.
In 2015-’16, with the inclusion of Bongaigaon, Lakhimpur and Tinsukia, the number of fluoride-affected districts have shot up to 22, sources said.
According to experts here, the trend of rise in the number of fluoride and arsenic affected districts should be studied, together with the impact of such contamination of groundwater, which is used by the people of many areas in these districts for the purpose of drinking as well as domestic use, on human and animal health.
Except in the two districts of Karbi Anglong and Nagaon, no comprehensive health impact studies of groundwater contamination in the rest of the districts has so far been known to have been conducted, said the experts. The origin of fluoride so far is known to be geogenic.

The State’s Department of Mining and Mineral may undertake such studies, involving also the Public Health Engineering Department (PHED), Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), Central Ground Water Board (CGWB) and the North Eastern Regional Institute of Water and Land Management (NERIWALM) in this regard, said the experts.
