Two brothers keeping up spirit of humanity by helping needy

Amazing Feats, Community Involvement / Social Issues, , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Visakhapatnam, ANDHRA PRADESH:

Society helps us directly or indirectly, we’ve decided to give it back the best’

Daily tuition classes being taken up at the ASK Foundation in Viskahapatnam

Visakhapatnam :

After they lost their brother to Covid-19, Abdul Ahad Ashraf and Abdul Muneer Mushhad vowed to keep his spirits alive by serving the poor in whichever way they can.

“Society always helps us directly or indirectly with achieving our goals in life. It shapes us to be a better person and stays with us throughout our journeys. So, post retirement, I decided to give back to the society to the best of my capacity and also to take forward the legacy of my late brother Abdul Raqueeb, a lawyer and a social activist,” ASK Foundation Chairman Ashraf expressed.

Established in 2020 and named after their parents, Abdul Sattar and Khairunnisa, ASK runs without any donations. While Ashraf (60) is a retired BSNL employee, his 56-year-old brother, Mushhad is an investor relations manager with LIC.

Recently, a child welfare community from Telangana approached them seeking financial help for the education of an orphan girl. “These are the kind of calls we look forward to. Irrespective of caste, creed, religion and region, we want to serve children in need,” Ashraf added.

The Foundation helps financially weak students and school drop-outs to pursue further education, provide medical relief to the poor, arrange shelters and assist the downtrodden, particularly people from below poverty line (BPL). They also help the poor set up small units to improve their livelihood and extend free legal aid.

“Our main priority is to provide quality education to children from poor financial backgrounds. We do not sponsor their school fees. Rather, we take up free tuition classes at our office every day for these children. A retired B.Ed teacher teaches the children,” secretary of the Foundation, Mushhad explained.

ASK even conducts awareness programmes on legal services for more than 4,000 people in collaboration with the District Legal Services Authority. The foundation provides free medical services every Saturday from 2 pm to 4 pm based on the availability and requirements. “Professional doctors from across the city conduct medical camps. We do not compromise on the quality of our services. Irrespective of the service we provide, we make sure it helps the poor,” Mushhad said.

Every Monday, campaigns offering free legal services are conducted from 10 am to 1 pm, while career guidance counselling for students is held from 2 pm to 4 pm. The brothers firmly believe that everything they are blessed with has a purpose and their purpose is to share at least a small amount of what they have to keep up the spirit of humanity.

UAE: Meet the Indian who is travelling from Kerala to London on a bicycle

Amazing Feats, Arts, Culture & Entertainment, Community Involvement / Social Issues, Sports, Travel & Tourism, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

KERALA :

Fayis Ashraf Ali, who is currently in the Emirates for a pit stop, says one of his biggest dreams is to meet his hero Sheikh Hamdan

Thirty-four-year-old Fayis Ashraf Ali, a hard-core adventurer, has embarked on a big solo mission: To travel around 35 countries in 450 days — on a bicycle.

From the south Indian state of Kerala, Ali is biking his way to London to cover 30,000km. After departing Thiruvananthapuram on August 15 — where state Education Minister V Sivankutty flagged off his journey — he arrived in the UAE via Oman on September 27.

Speaking to Khaleej Times, Ali said he entered the UAE through Ras Al Khaimah and cycled through Khor Fakkan and Fujairah to arrive in Ajman.

“I will cycle to Sharjah, spend some time there attending events and then head on to Dubai and Abu Dhabi before crossing into Saudi Arabia,” he said.

The cyclist plans to spend 24 days in the Emirates, the third destination on his list. Here’s a photo of him in Khor Fakkan:

Hoping to meet his hero Sheikh Hamdan

In the UAE, Ali has only one hope – to meet the Dubai Crown Prince, Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum.

“He is my hero. I draw so much inspiration from his adventurous personality. I sincerely hope to meet him before I depart for Saudi Arabia,” he said.

After his UAE pit stop, he will be moving to Saudi Arabia, where he will cycle across the country for two months.

“I hope to go to the holy cities of Makkah and Medina, and visit every place in Saudi Arabia, where I worked for four years with Wipro before leaving my job,” said Ali, an electrical engineer who has kept aside his professional goal to cycle worldwide.

From Saudi Arabia, he will travel to Qatar, and Bahrain, return to Saudi Arabia then head to Kuwait.

“From there. I will go to Iraq, Iran, Azerbaijan, Georgia, and Turkey and enter Europe through Greece. I plan to ride across 22 countries in Europe and hope to reach London in 2023,” he said.

This is not Ali’s first long journey on his bicycle. In 2019, he cycled from Kozhikode to Singapore in 104 days, covering more than 8,000km. He pedalled through Nepal, Bhutan, Myanmar, Thailand and Malaysia during that time.

No support crew, no hotel bookings

Going on this adventure — without any support crew — is not a spur-of-the-moment decision for the cyclist. In fact, it took him over a year and a half to plan the solo journey.

“I am travelling alone as this is being done on a budget. I am staying with people I meet during my travels. I have not booked rooms in hotels or lodges,” said Ali.

For example, in Khor Fakkan, Ali stayed with some cafeteria workers across the police station.

“I coincidentally went into the cafeteria to eat some food and told them about my journey. They invited me to stay with them for the night,” he said. “Since I am a Rotary Club member, I stayed in some of the club locations in India. I am hoping to find similar support in Europe. If not, I will sleep in a tent, a mosque, or whichever place that will have me for the night,” he said.

The Rotary Club, Norka-Roots, Malayalam Mission, Kerala Tourism and the Kerala Hearts Foundation are supporting the endeavour.

He rides on a Surly Disk Trucker Cycle, sponsored by UAE-based travel and luggage accessories company ParaJohn. Dubai- based Emirates First is also lending some financial assistance to him.

On his bicycle, he carries four bags filled with clothes, a battery pack, dried fruits, tools, and a GPS tracker. He rides only in the mornings.

What inspired Ali to take up this adventure?

Ali left his job as a networking engineer in 2016 to take care of his father who was suffering from a cardiac ailment.

“I got into the habit of cycling around that time. I got my cycle when my father was in the ICU. Unfortunately, a week later, my father died,” said Ali. He believes cycling would strengthen one’s heart.

Ali is cycling to raise awareness about heart health, world peace, health care, zero carbon emission and zero drugs. He is married to dentist Dr Asmin Fayis and a father to two boys, Fahzin Omar and Izin Nahel.

“My wife supports me in every way possible. She is the one who plans my itinerary and posts on social media. She helps me immensely with the paperwork needed for such a journey. She does all this while taking care of our kids and is an assistant professor at the Coorg Institute for Dental Sciences. She is a superwoman,” he said.

Ali says that to make extraordinary achievements, one has to make several sacrifices. “I do not want to go back to work, and I want to achieve something extraordinary before I depart from this world,” he stated.

League of Islamic Universities launches climate action on campuses

On October 27, the ‘Malaibar Declaration for Climate Action’ held by the League of Islamic Universities based in Cairo and Jamia Markaz Kozhikode in Markaz Knowledge City concluded.

Members including 200 universities from 60 countries, were present at Jamia Markaz, an Islamic university in Kozhikode, Kerala, for the International Climate Action Summit which was held between October 17-20.

Dr. Osama Al-Abed, secretary general of the league, opened the event by urging global stakeholders to use fresh approaches to combat climate change because the globe is currently “facing challenges that are structurally different from the past.”

As a consequence of talks on many facets of the main issue, Dr. Al Abdu and Muhammed Abdul Hakim Azhari, the rector of Jamia Markaz, jointly made the following declaration: The Partnership of University Leadership in Mitigating the Climate Change.

The declaration includes a request for environmental science to be taught in member universities’ curricula, for financial and human resources to be set aside for research into tackling climate challenges, as well as for new technology to be developed for the same.

“We thought that the real community who has to work on climate change is students. In every country, if the universities go for some course on climate then the future generation would be working on climate change,” Jamia Markaz rector Dr. Abdul Hakeem Al-Kandi told reporters.

“Students, who are the future leaders, when they are getting aware of climate change, (they) will impact the whole world.” he said.

Al-Kandi stated that the league would create an environmental studies centre in Calicut, India.

The goal of the university league’s activity, according to environmentalist and Markaz Law College principal Dr. C. Abdul Samad, who organised the summit, was to engage community members in various societies and make them stakeholders in saving the environment.

“Introducing environmental science courses in universities is important as the young leaders need to be educated to think about nature and climate change, and its impact,” he said.

“It is the new generation that can preserve the diversity of nature and respect the environment. The whole idea is to save the planet for the future,” he further stated.

At the summit, 63 research papers on diverse facets of the main issue were presented. A hundred trees were planted on the Knowledge City Campus by university leaders as part of Jamia Markaz’s afforestation programme and in support of the summit.

Dr. K. Mohideen Abdul Khadar & Mr. Balamohan Krishnan All Set To Improve The Traditional Financial System Through Metaverse

Business & Economy, , , , , ,

Chennai, TAMIL NADU :

This metaverse technology attracted the attention of these two who had been working as financial professionals for decades. They decided to bring the financial ecosystem into the metaverse as this technology provides the liberty to perform things that is not feasible in the physical setup.

Fido Group
Fido Group 

The term “Metaverse” alludes to a three-dimensional virtual environment that is more sophisticated than current virtual reality. It is a place where businesses and entities coexist and collect and use data. The Metaverse enables people to connect without regard for space, allowing them to gain the latest knowledge and entertainment through encounters impossible in the real world.

This metaverse technology attracted the attention of two friends – Dr. K. Mohideen Abdul Khadar and Mr. Balamohan Krishnan who had been working as financial professionals for over a decade. During their work, they encountered limitations and areas for improvement in the traditional financial ecosystem. But improvements in a physical setup could not be feasible, so they decided to bring the financial ecosystem into the metaverse as this technology provides the liberty to perform things that is not feasible in the physical setup.

Dr. K. Mohideen started his career in the Banking sector in 2004 and was serving the RCU division. Since he is a good learner and a great observer, he found some limitations and areas for improvement in the traditional financial ecosystem. This physical setup could not be accessible for all twenty-four hours and seven days a week. Other than accessibility, some areas needed improvements. He left his job and stepped into the real estate division and started Zontia Groups in 2016. But his longing for achieving the best made him explore many divisions and he headed with confidence and persistence. He started Fido Markets Pvt Ltd in the UK in 2020, Zontia Information technology in Dubai in 2021, and established Fido Academy to educate and train individuals in the field of Forex Trading.

As per Dr. K. Mohideen- “A country’s growth is measured by its Infrastructure development.” So he started Zontia Infrastructure. It has a significant presence across the infrastructure space with expertise in operating and developing real estate and other development projects. 

He laid the foundation of a technology-based company “Zontia Financizen Technology”. The purpose of this foundation was to offer a complete financial solution by providing a combined service for different domains. He wanted people around him to have the next level of standard of life. The best way to maintain one’s happiness is to give him the best solution for his financial needs. Not everyone can manage their funds in hand. Keeping it into consideration, he founded Srivastham wealth management private limited which helps users in fund and portfolio management.

In the meanwhile, he established a company ‘FIDOMETA’ with his friend Mr. Balamohan Krishnan in Dubai. Balamohan Krishnan has worked with Citi Bank as Vice President and gained expertise in the field of Forex. He Has been the forex business coach, trader, trading trainer, and trading software architect, is also a fund manager, inspiring speaker, and mentor. He has extreme knowledge of the global forex business, trading technologies, forex trading, and personal finance. He acquires experience of more than 15 years in the forex industry in top investment banks.

The duo combined their experiences from their past and implemented them in ‘FIDOMETA’. As per Balamohan – “FIDOMETA is the world’s first financial institution in the Metaverse. It is a project about building the digital infrastructure in the crypto space where all traditional businesses can onboard and expand their business into new territories and client bases. The major goal of the project is to bridge the gap between the traditional business and its presence in the digital space. The project is focused on leveraging the traditional business into the digital space so that the businesses can reach out wider community in terms of sales, clientele, and new territories. To achieve this goal, we will need to build strong financial infrastructure support right from banking services, payment gateways, book maintenance, virtual hiring, training, and many more.”

Considering the fact that numerous individuals rush to call attention to compare internet gaming universes and the metaverse, the degree and kinds of the innovation utilized in the metaverse empower more significant commitment, independence, and boundlessness. It’s likewise striking that non-game organizations are progressively curious about whether virtual settings like the metaverse may assist them with drawing in clients past the typical shop and cell phone applications.
