Milton Keynes Young Muslims spend Christmas Day distributing free gift hampers to the elderly

    Young people from the Ahmadiyya Muslim Youth Association (AMYA) were out on the morning of Christmas Day distributing free gift hampers to the elderly in Milton Keynes.

    More than 100 local elderly people were visited during the day including residents in city care homes.

    All gifts were sourced, packed and delivered by AMYA.

    Local youth leader Saeed Nazir said: ''Young Ahmadi Muslims, took time out of their day to try and make a difference to the lives of so many elderly who were by themselves or in care homes."

    "The youth had themselves been making preparation for the gifts. This was a great opportunity for us to fulfil our Islamic duty of serving the needy and to follow in the examples of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).”

    "The AMYA looks to aid in the development of young Muslims. The organisation has been particularly successful in ensuring that its members are a source of peace for the society around them."

    "They are regularly seen in markets, stations and high streets preaching their Islamic motto of ‘Love for All Hatred for None."
