A Remarkable Journey: Dr. Ima - A Veterinarian, Influencer, and Advocate for Kindness to All Creatures
A Journey of Compassion, Advocacy, and Breaking Boundaries in Veterinary Care
Dr. Salehatul Khuzaimah Mohamad Ali, affectionately known as Dr. Ima, is a remarkable woman whose journey encompasses the roles of a dedicated veterinarian, veterinary clinic owner, influencer, and an advocate for kindness to all creatures. With 13 years of experience in small animal practice, Dr. Ima has made her mark in the field of veterinary care and beyond.
The Veterinary Professional:
Dr. Ima is the owner of two veterinary clinics, Serv-U Veterinary Clinic in Kota Kemuning, Shah Alam, and Trio Veterinary Clinic in Bandar Sri Damansara. Her extensive expertise extends to companion animal care, and she is no stranger to handling exotic cases. Her journey as a veterinarian began in 2009 when she graduated from the University of Putra Malaysia, and since then, she has been a trusted source of care for animals in her community.
A Voice for the Voiceless:
Dr. Ima is more than just a veterinarian; she is also a compassionate advocate for animal welfare. Actively involved in public speaking, giving talks, seminars, interviews, and sharing her knowledge, she educates the public about animal and pet care, health, disease prevention, and issues related to pets and public health. Her influence extends to social media platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook, where she aims to build awareness about animal welfare and health.
Championing Kindness and Understanding:
Despite her extensive knowledge and dedication to her profession, Dr. Ima has faced challenges, including societal misconceptions about her work, especially when handling and treating dogs as a Muslim veterinarian. She is no stranger to judgment and skepticism, but her resolve remains unshaken.
Dr. Ima, a Muslim woman, a mother, and a wife, is a symbol of strength and resilience. Her daily routine involves treating a diverse array of animals, including dogs, which, at times, can be met with skepticism within her community. Nevertheless, she stands as a testament that being a woman and a Muslim does not limit her contributions to the veterinary field and animal welfare.
She encourages her children and the younger generation to explore the importance of this industry, emphasizing the significance of a loving and compassionate society towards all creatures. Dr. Ima believes that all religions promote kindness to all creatures, emphasizing that dogs, created by Allah (God), deserve our care and compassion.
The Prophet (peace be upon him) also said, "Whoever is kind to the creatures of God, he is kind to himself." (Sahih Bukhari)
A Call for Kindness:
Dr. Ima strongly condemns the harm inflicted on dogs due to misconceptions or fears deeply rooted in certain belief systems. She calls for a change in the way society treats stray dogs and other stray animals, urging kindness and understanding. Feeding stray dogs without touching them, collaborating with organizations and authorities to control stray populations, and promoting pet neutering are all ways in which she encourages her community to make a positive impact.
A Remarkable Journey:
Dr. Ima's journey is a testament to the boundless possibilities of human compassion and dedication. Regardless of one's race or religion, her story transcends these boundaries, highlighting the interconnectedness of all beings in the quest for a better world.
Dr. Ima is not just a veterinarian; she is an embodiment of humanity and kindness. Her story is remarkable, as she tirelessly champions the relationships between humans and all creatures, showing that our shared world is a place where caring for and loving animals won't make us sinners.
In the words of Dr. Ima, "Every story is remarkable in a unique way. I believe that my story is awesomely remarkable as I am presenting myself as a human with humanity regardless of what race or religion you are. I am expressing myself as a limitless person in fighting for the relationship of humans with other creatures, for a better world. Finally, I am remarkable because I am Dr. Ima, and I am just being myself."
