Muslim Woman Starts Lifesaving Training Initiative at London Mosque
A Muslim woman has started the initiative in memory of her brother.
At the age of 21, Samina Kiyani’s brother passed away when he suffered a sudden cardiac arrest at their home in Manchester.
To honor the memory of her brother, Samina has been doing everything she can to raise awareness of these vital skills within the South Asian community.
Recently, she has teamed up with Resuscitation Council UK (RCUK) and St John Ambulance to start the lifesaving training.
“I never want any family to go through the same heartbreak we have been through,” Samina said.
“The loss of my youngest brother really highlights why CPR and defibrillators are so immensely important.

“It’s crucial that more events and awareness sessions like this happen across ethnic minority communities in the UK – where we know people are more likely to have a cardiac arrest and less likely to know what to do – so more lives can be saved.”
Saving lives is a key teaching in Islam that can be found in the Quran.
