Bukhari feted for selfless service with global human rights award
MUSCAT: Syed Shaandar Ali Shah Bukhari, a well-known social worker in Muscat, has been awarded a Certificate of Appreciation by the International Human Rights Movement (IHRM). The prestigious recognition honours Bukhari's tireless efforts in humanitarian work, including the repatriation of prisoners, aiding the disabled, assisting in returning deceased individuals to their home countries, facilitating blood donations and supporting the underprivileged. A silent force of good in the community, Bukhari has long worked without seeking recognition, guided by a deep sense of duty and empathy. This award, he says, is more than a personal achievement - it is a continuation of a legacy of service passed down by his late father, a revered figure in Oman's social welfare circles. At the heart of Bukhari's work are the teachings of Islam and the enduring words of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH): 'Whoever alleviates the suffering of a believer, Allah will alleviate their suffering on the Day of Judgment.' His approach has always been inclusive — reaching out to those in need regardless of background, status, or belief. 'Oman has given me so much, and I want to give back through charity. This recognition from IHRM is a tribute to the generosity of this nation, its leadership and its people,' said Bukhari. He expressed hope that his efforts would reflect the spirit of Oman's humanitarian traditions and inspire others to give back in their own ways. This award also stands as a homage to his late father's teachings. 'My father always taught me that true wealth is not measured by possessions, but by the positive change you bring to others' lives,' he said. The IHRM plays a key role in recognising and supporting individuals who exemplify the spirit of humanitarian service. This recognition was made possible with the support of IHRM President Rana Basharat Ali and Ambassador M Nadeem Raza. As Bukhari continues his mission, he hopes to inspire a new generation of changemakers: 'We all have the power to make a difference. Whether it's a small gesture or a large act of kindness, every action counts.'
