This brochure is part of a series of unique health educational materials designed by Muslims from an Islamic perspective. The language is designed to assist and educate counselors, service providers, and administrators who provide HIV/ AIDS services to Muslims and their families to have a better compassionate understanding of Muslims with HIV/AIDS.
The Muslim client views his/her world in a very different way from the traditional Western perspective. To understand his/her point of view, and how the Muslim client interacts within this world, is the first step in being more effective in providing culturally appropriate health and social services.
Unlike the general view in western societies, in the mind of the majority of Muslims, there is little separation of religion and state. Islam is not just a religion, but a way of life. Any social service to this group must start from and respect that perspective.
SERVICES PROVIDED
Through a National database of Muslim health organizations and
service needs, and a National Resource Center for culturally and
religiously appropriate information, the NMAI will assist interested
organizations to provide culturally sensitive resources and exchange
AIDS support and prevention literature. Literature topics that will be available from NMAI include
The above brochures will be available in English, Arabic, Spanish and French.
To assure the most widespread dissemination of Muslim oriented AIDS
information, the Health Force Muslim AIDS Initiative will produce a series of audio and video cassettes featuring highly respected Islamic religious leaders who are experts on AIDS.
