English summery of Spanish radio program dated
01/25/2013
I have divided this translation according to the minutes of original running
program.
0-3 minutes. introduction of the program by host of
1360 am Radio Luz Dr Nelson Ortiz,then he wishes a happy birth day to a
listener of his program then introduces me(Dr Hafeez Rehman) from New
York and then I thanked him for inviting me to his program and
introduced the host to the President of Miami Ahmadiyya Muslim community and
told him that I have known President sahib for a long time and it was his
invitation that brought me to Miami book fair.He was told that we belong to
Ahmadiyya Muslim community and our US head quarter is located in Washington
and locally our mosque is in Hallandale beach and I told our listeners that
all are welcome at our mosque,it is open for all.
3-5 mins=we spoke about Holy Quran.Our sacred book revealed to Prophet
Muhammad(saw) over the course of nearly 23 years.covered briefly about Topics
covered in Holy Quran,also mentioned that Quran's original Arabic text is
intact and safeguarded as promised by Allah Almighty.How Quran was revealed
in small portions and how prophet Muhammad (saw) used to memorize it and then
his companions used to memorize it and how it was subsequently written and
thus preserved.He was also told that our community has translated the Holy
Quran in over 70 languages and when we translate we do it in a way that
original Arabic text is on one side and translation on the other side.
5-9 mins= The host spoke about cold weather in New York and flu.He
spoke about natural medicine and it's relation with traditional medical
practice.Then we spoke again about Holy Quran and I told him that Holy is a
universal and complete form of guidance for mankind.Quran mentions the
teachings of previous books and their prophets and it covers all facets of
human life.I told him that Prophet Muhammad(saw) presented the teachings of
Holy Quran in practical form for us to see and follow.I also told him that as
Muslim Doctor I always wished that my patients remain healthy and when
they become ill to get them better fast.
10-12=The host mentions that today we are learning about Quran and Islam and
God wanted us to learn and share his teachings.I told him that Holy Quran
teaches us how to connect to Allah almighty,how to gain his pleasure.Quran
mentions the rights of women,orphans and elderly and weak among us.All types
of worship are taught with goal to achieve the pleasure of Allah.
12-14=The host starts reading from one of our pamphlet about Islam.Islam is a
religion of peace,it teaches us how to live in peace with our fellow human
beings,peace with our creator and peace with our creator means that we
completely submit our will to our God and this is what our God has taught our
Beloved Prophet(pbuh) for him to show it to us.The Host says this is so
beautiful and I thanked him.He said it is a religion of peace and love.
The host indicates that God send all guidance for mankind to develop peace
and tolerance in this world but now a days there is so much disorder and
bloodshed and animosity.I told him that the disorder in the society/world
comes when people forget God Almighty .Then I said that Ahmadi Muslims
are different from the rest of muslims.we are the Muslims that believe in
Masiah.All the major religions of the world are waiting for a reformer in one
way or the other and we believe that reformer to be Mirza Ghulam Ahmad(as).Under
the direct guidance from God he was sent to unite the mankind under one
banner with love and message of tolerance for all.He intended to present our
beautiful religion in it's original purity like God wanted him to and like
Prophet Muhammad presented.Today many are wrongly interpreting Islamic
teachings and going back to the pure teachings of Muhammad(saw) is not
possible without the divinely guided reformer and this is what we are trying
to do today.This the point where we were pulled off the air by the owners of
the channel and after a pause of many seconds the host received a call from
the control room and he was told not to talk about Islam and we carried
the rest of 6 mins or so about medical issues,diet and role of natural
medicine.At the end I thanked him for his invitation.
Sincerely,
Hafeez Ur Rehman,MD
