Association of Muslim Professionals UK Launch Event Association of Muslim Professionals Dr. Shahzad Hanif 5th December 2004
Quran • ‘O you who believe! Bow down , prostate yourselves, and adore your Lord; and do good; that you may prosper. • And strive in His cause as you ought to strive, (with sincerity and discipline). He chosen you, and has imposed no difficulties on you in religion; it is the cult of your father Abraham. It is He who has named you Muslims, both before and in this (Revelation); that the Messenger may be a witness for you, and you be witnesses for mankind! • So establish regular Prayer, give regular Charity, and hold fast to Allah. He is your Protector – the Best to protect and the Best to help !’ • (Surah Hajj : 77-78)
