The Shri Ram Janmbhoomi Tirth Kshetra trust has started a campaign to raise funds for the construction of the grand temple of Lord Ram in Ayodhya. The campaign began on 15 January and will go on till 27 February. In an act of religious solidarity, a Muslim couple Dr. Hamid Mansuri and her wife Mumtaz Mansuri from Gujarat’s Patan has come forward and donated £ 1,500 for the construction of Ram temple in Ayodhya.
The couple went to Ayodhya in the year 2019 and visited Ram Janmabhoomi, and saw the design of the magnificent temple under construction. After their visit, they decided to donate as much as they could for the construction of the Ram Mandir.
The Muslim couple was overwhelmed with joy after they handed over a cheque for £ 1,500 to the temple trust. Dr. Mansuri said, “We are proud to be Muslims, but first we are Indians. Whether it is Lord Shri Ram or Jesus Christ or Prophet Mohammad, everyone shares the same message of brotherhood and humanity.We have visited Haj pilgrimage, many Hindu temples and we even chant many Hindu prayers along with Muslim prayer – Namaz.”
Dr. Mansuri has his own hospital named Riya Heart and Medical Hospital in the Patan city. He is always ready to help the poor and needy patients and makes sure that they get treatment at a reduced rate. If a poor or needy patient has to be medicated for a long period, the couple offers them medicines at free of cost. During the lockdown both of them distributed food kits to those who needed help.
