A recent article by Spectrum News highlights Salaam Cleveland’s impact on NE Ohio and the people they serve.

https://spectrumnews1.com/oh/cincinnati/news/2022/04/07/mosque-for-refugees

Since Salaam Cleveland began in 2002, its goal has been “to see communities unite and to help build a culturally rich and tolerant society.” During Ramadan, they attain that goal by doing all they can for the immigrants and refugees new to the area.

Through Salaam Cleveland’s Mohammad Rasoul Allah Islamic Society, Muslims of all backgrounds and ethnicities gather to worship, create friendships, and freely experience community support.

The Mosque is a place that provides a sense of not only unity but of home. This Ramadan season and well beyond, Director Zahid Siddiqui and the Salaam Cleveland staff will continue the work of caring for the underserved with ​​social issues, addressing domestic violence, health issues, and refugee settlement disputes.

The primary focus is to help the Afghan refugees new to the Cleveland area. Salaam Cleveland provides those in most need a Mosque, shelter, kids programs, and vital healthcare for free. Soon, Salaam Cleveland expects to extend their helping hands to Ukrainians in crisis.

Incoming refugees and immigrants will also learn how to navigate their new surroundings with the help of Salaam Cleveland. They provide:

  • Job search assistance
  • Grocery shopping
  • Driver’s training
  • Transportation
  • Appliances
  • Medicare/Medicaid Support
  • Home Setup/ Coordination of Household Donations
  • English and Maths Tutoring
  • Children’s Field Trips and Social Activities

Physicians already give up a lot to pursue service to others. Time, money, relationships. But for a few, their sincerity, and love for their profession, and service to others leads them away from their nation, and their homes. These are the physicians of Doctors Without Borders. Dr. Mohamed Fadlalla, a big supporter of the Salaam Clinic, is one of those physicians who answered a medical call to arms, who left home to help the underserved in lands far away.

On Father’s Day this past June, Dr. Fadlalla took time away from his family and friends to speak to volunteers and students at Salaam Clinic about Doctors Without Borders and the experiences he has had with them. This deserves recognition, as this was during a brief time off he had between medical trips to Uzbekistan and Sudan. The discussion revolved around how to get involved, is it worth it (yes), and the differences in healthcare in America and parts of the world Doctors Without Borders operates in.

As appreciative as we are for Dr. Fadlalla, we are even more appreciative now as just a few days later, three of our colleagues in Doctors Without Borders were murdered in the Tigray region of Ethiopia. This abhorrent attack on our colleagues in Doctors Without Borders has led to the suspension of medical work in that region in Ethiopia. Thus far, no one has claimed responsibility for the murders.

As physicians, we often see our work undermined by political motives, and in times of political uncertainty, we become easy targets. Nonetheless, we continue to sacrifice and will continue to sacrifice for the sake of others and in service to others.
