Fasting: between good health and fitness

RAMADAN MUBARAK Islam aleminin ramazan bayramini tebrik eder hayirlara vesile olmasini dileriz

Fasting plays a big role in safeguarding one’s bodily health and fitness, as well as doing away with toxins, stored body fat and many other ailments. Fasting has been considered a means for safeguarding one’s fitness, decreasing obesity, and increasing stamina for ages. Ibn Al-Qayyim, may Allaah have mercy on him, said: “Fasting is a protection from sicknesses of the soul, heart, and body. Its benefits are more than can be counted, and it plays an amazing role in protecting one’s health, dissolving the wastes within the body, and restraining one’s self from eating harmful things. This is especially the case when it is done in moderation, is purposefully

sought in its best religious times, and when the body needs it most, of course. It allows a period of relaxation to regain one’s strength and [organs] also preserves them. There is another quality that it possesses, making it necessary to seek and prefer it, and it is that it makes the heart happy both now and in the future… it falls under the category of natural spiritual medicines, and if a person is keen naturally and religiously, then it benefits the heart and body greatly. It would also keep away unfamiliar and corruptive elements that they are susceptible to, as well as do away with bad elements that are present depending on how good or bad [one’s fasting] is.” (AtTibb An-Nabawi) www.ramadaniat.ws

Suhoor and Iftar

During Ramadan, two main meals are served: suhoor, which is served before dawn, and iftar, which is served after sunset. Suhoor should be a hearty, healthy meal to provide needed energy throughout a day of fasting — it ends when the sun rises and the fajr, or morning prayer, begins. At the end of the day, when the sun sets, the maghrib prayer starts, and the day’s fast is

broken with iftar. Many Muslims break their fast by eating dates before beginning the iftar meal. Muslims can continue eating and drinking throughout the night until the next day’s suhoor. At the end of the Ramadan month, Muslims celebrate the Festival of FastBreaking, called Eid al-Fitr. Source: www.thekitchn.com.

CROWN GROUP REVEALS NEW HOTEL BRAND FOR SYDNEY Media Release

(Sydney) Tuesday May 17, 2016 A leading Australian property developer renowned for its innovative approach to residential apartment design has revealed details of its much-anticipated new hotel brand. After delivering a string of award-winning residential apartment buildings over the past two decades, Sydney-based Crown Group will soon bring its world-renowned brand to travelers from across the globe, announcing its first hotel will open in the thriving Sydney suburb of Parramatta in early 2017. The luxury Skye Hotel Suites will form part of the 29-storey V by Crown Group development known as Parramatta’s vertical. A new logo and website for Skye Hotel Suites were revealed today. Crown Group Chief Executive Iwan Sunito said Sydney’s second CBD was a fitting location for the launch of the first Skye Hotel Suites. “We are pleased to announce the debut of Skye Hotel Suites in Sydney, the first of many around the world, Mr Sunito said. “Our vision is to create a collection of suites which will set a fresh lifestyle standard in Sydney,” he said. The second largest employment destination in the state, Parramatta was recently named the most livable suburb in NSW and is forecast to grow in population by 40 per cent by 2031. “Skye Hotel Suites will be a stylish addition to the up-and-coming Western Sydney, and we are confident the Crown Group brand, with its strong reputation, will appeal to the new generation of domestic and international visitors to the city. “Parramatta represents the past, present and

future of Australia,” he said. Designed by Sydney-based Allen Jack + Cottier and Koichi Takada Architects, the 590-apartment V by Crown Group is located on the corner of Macquarie and Marsden streets, less than 300m from Parramatta Square; Parramatta City Council’s $2 billion, 3-hectare redevelopment precinct and less than 600m from Parramatta train station, Parramatta Heritage Parklands and Westfield Parramatta. Featuring 72 studio, one bedroom and two-bedroom suites, Skye Hotel Suites at Parramatta will include access to V by Crown Group’s resort-style pool, gym, expansive foyer, conference room, restaurant, sauna, business centre and vibrant alfresco dining and retail piazza. A level-26 sky bar will include a large open-air terrace and spectacular 270 degree views of Sydney’s skyline. Crown Group also plans to open Skye Hotel Suites in Sydney’s CBD and Green Square in the near future. Expansion into luxury hotels was a natural progression for the company, Mr Sunito said. Crown Group has established a reputation for architecturally unique, resort-style residential development and has been recognized with a number of top industry awards including the UDIA NSW President’s award, Master Builders Association Excellence in Construction award, UDIA National High Density Development award and UDIA NSW award for Concept Design. Crown Group National Development Director Pierre Abrahamse said Skye Hotel Suites would bring the world-renowned Crown Group brand to travelers from around the world. A Skye Hotel Suites launch event will be held later this year. For more information visit skyehotels.com. au or call +61 2 9925 0088.

Muslim community mourns one of its best Muslims Australia, AFIC Muslims Australia pays tribute to the life of one of the world’s most extraordinary figures. Muhammad Ali may have left this world, but his legacy will live on. “The passing of Muhammad Ali is a big loss to the human family. Like all people in this world, I grew up with the chant “Ali, Ali”, the man who floated like a butterfly and stung like a bee. A great sportsman, a wonderful human being and the best Ambassador Islam could have.” Said Hafez Kassem, President of Muslims Australia AFIC. “My condolences to the international community, it has just lost one of its most effective champions of interfaith harmony and cultural inclusion.” Said Mr. Kassem. “Mohammad Ali turned the sport of boxing into an art, he inspired in and out of the ring. A man of principles and strong resolve, a champion of peace and justice and an excellent example of perseverance and determination. One of the most loved people in the world and a great role model for any person who recognises his or her own struggle. The world has lost one of its greatest icons.” Said Keysar Trad, Treasurer of Muslims Australia.

distribution of 1000 blankets to refugee families in jordan In the period from 29 Feb to 3 March 2016, Islamic Help distributed 1000 blankets and 1000 kits of clothes and shoes among refugees and poor families living in Jordan. The project was funded by Auburn Islamic Community Centre and Islamic Help-Australia office in partnership with Islamic Help-Jordan office. The project has played a crucial role in saving lives and wellbeing of Syrian refugee women, elderly and children especially who live in random camps.

Project Description:

Syria crisis is the worst humanitarian disaster of our time and after the fifth year of the Syrian crisis, the world seems to have forgotten about the silent victims of the conflict. While the number of refugees continue to climb, and despite the fact their needs are increasing, humanitarian aid and relief program are in decline by UNHCR and other associations. So Some Syrian Refuges left their houses and lived in camps like random camps in Badia near Syrian- Jordan boarders. This led to increasing camps. These refugees are the most vulnerable to enduring inhumane conditions due to the harsh winter climate in the area, and a decline in winterization initiatives provided by the international community to help them. To respond to this emergency situation, Islamic Help distributed 1000 blankets and winter clothes to Refugees and poor families in Jordan.

During this period, following distributions were made:

1000 Blankets , 6000 White T-shirt, 1000 Jacket, 2000 White T-shirt for babies, 200 Shoes for men, 1000 Jeans.

Location Wise distributions:

Syrian- Jordanian boarders in Al Mafraq, Al Shajara area in AL Ramtha, Irbid.

GIFT OF KINDNESS

Mothers and Daughters:

“I love her, but …”

Jamilah Samian

The world celebrated Mother’s Day with lots of flowers, cakes and wishes – never mind if a great many were sent via social media. And I recall a comment made by a mother. “I don’t know if it’s me,” she began hesitantly. “I have a teenage daughter. And we don’t exactly get along.” The lady went on to say that she had mentioned it to some of her friends. Seems like it’s a rather common thing. Every mother-daughter relationship is unique, just as a mother and her son. Many factors influence how the mother-daughter dynamics turn out over time. For instance, the mother might have certain expectations for her daughter, which were not fulfilled. Or she might have had not-so-positive experiences with her own mother, which she unconsciously tries to re-enact, like a script. Then there’s the mother who feels it’s her job to make sure her daughter is as close as possible to perfection in the multiple roles she plays at school and at home – this can backfire too. The mother-daughter relationship will always be one of the great mysteries in life. A concoction of feelings so deep, complex, I don’t think you could truly explain its intricacies. But it doesn’t mean you can’t make it better. Growing up, you might have not-so-nice memories of your own mother. You love your mother to bits, you respect her, yet there might be times when her words hurt you so much, you wish you were born in a different home. You don’t wish the same for your daughter. If you do have a teenage daughter who seems to annoy, agitate, get on your nerves once too often, it’s good to know that the adolescent brain goes through major changes, which might cause her to be not quite herself, tearful, upset for no apparent reason. Studies have shown that teens tend to misread facial cues, causing them to misinterpret some facial expressions as “anger”. So, if you asked her why she missed her extra class out of concern, she might think you’re saying it out of anger. One thing leads to another. Before you know it, a mother-daughter misunderstanding is in the works. A teenager’s body system is growing, under construction, almost done, but not quite there yet. The good news is, it will settle down eventually. So just hang on. Till when? Well, it differs from person to person. For some, in the late teens. For others, mid-twenties. With marriage, especially, personalities tend to mellow. You and I of course experienced the same thing, but it was so long ago, unlikely for us to remember. If you have a daughter who makes you wonder why you opt for motherhood instead of pursuing something else in life, don’t assume it will always be this way. Listen to your heart, you know what is right. Imagine if it’s someone else’s daughter, what would you tell her? Be kind, stay firm when you need to. Give your daughter some space she needs, but more importantly, give the relationship a fresh new chance. Every day. Don’t let it become toxic or stay that way. Both you and your daughter deserve better things. A myriad things sit on the quality of the mother-daughter relationship, nurturing it is worth your effort. To the mother who raised the question above, I suggested she open the album where she keeps her daughter’s growing up photos – from the moment she was born, to the more recent ones. Relive how she felt then, the excitement, the bundle of joy she brought home. A wounded heart has myriad ways to mend.

Thought of The Moment “If we would consider less about what we differ, and see where we agree, there would be far more happiness and less anger in the world.” – Anonymous Jamilah Samian is the author of “The Kindness Miracle”, “Cool Mum Super Dad”, “Cool Boys Super Sons”, and “The Groovy Guide to Parenting Gen-Y & Z”.

Is sincere worship motivated by

fear?

Jumps To Second Place

Media Release The Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi has jumped two places to be voted the world’s second most popular landmark by the TripAdvisor Community, behind Machu Picchu in Peru. In 2015, the Mosque was voted fourth behind Angkor Wat in Cambodia and the Taj Mahal in India. Ola Kay, Abu Dhabi Tourism

Country Manager said, ‘’The Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque really is a sight to behold, I’m thrilled travellers are appreciating it so much. “It is not only a very spiritual place, but also a must see landmark, welcoming visitors every day except Friday during prayer times. “Architecturally, it is a work of art. The Mosque features 82 domes, over a 1000 columns, 24 carat gold gilded chandeliers and the world’s largest hand

knotted carpet. “The reflective pools that surround the Mosque amplify its beauty and the unique lighting at night reflects the phases of the moon.” Ola said today The Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque is one the world’s largest mosques, with a capacity for 40,000 worshippers. The mosque’s first ceremony was the funeral of its namesake, Sheikh Zayed, who is buried at the site.

A common criticism of Islam is that we are motivated to undertake good deeds primarily out of fear. Indeed, we often read and hear Muslims warn us to “fear Allah” to motivate good actions, often ignoring the complex range of emotions that characterise this relationship. Emotions such as fear, love, hope, yearning and sadness are ingrained in the human psyche. They can be defined as conscious or unconscious states of feeling that are determined by a person’s personal and social circumstances. These emotions are shaped by our beliefs, attitudes and values. The emotions we experience drive the motives behind everything we do. “Emotions are inner states that move individuals to action in the social world.... Guilt can be a motive for making restitution or atonement. Grief can be a motive for doing something to honor the departed.” [G. Clanton. 2011. Handbook of the Sociology of Emotions, p. 411] Due to the fact that the motive or intention (niyyah) behind every action is what gives that action its meaning, it is essential that Muslims develop an awareness of the complexity of our emotions. The Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) said in a famous hadith: “Deeds are only according to intentions,” which means that any action we perform gains its value from the intention of

Dr. Domenyk Eades the heart. Human beings have been created with emotions for a purpose. In his essay on the psychology of the soul entitled ‘The Book of Fear and Hope’, Imam Abu Hamid AlGhazali (d. 1111) focused on three fundamental emotions and how these must be balanced correctly in order to maintain a sound relationship with Allah (swt). The main emotions are ‘fear’ (khawf), ‘hope’ (raja’) and ‘love’ (mahabba), and all three are essential in maintaining our belief (iman). Al-Ghazali presents the importance of fear and hope as follows: “Fear and hope are the two wings by which the elect fly to heaven.” Nevertheless, he remarks that the primary emotion governing our relationship with Allah

(s.w.t.) is love: “Know that action on account of hope is of a higher order than action on account of fear, because the creatures who are nearest to Allah (swt) are those who love Him most, and love dominates hope.” In addition to the emotions of fear, hope and love shaping a person’s motives and intentions, another aspect guiding a person’s actions is that of taqwa, which is perhaps the most important concept in the Qur’an. The common translation of taqwa as ‘fear’ is somewhat inaccurate, as it is distinct from khawf (‘fear’), which was discussed above. Taqwa is awareness or consciousness of Allah (s.w.t.), which is attained through observing His signs (ayat) in the world and studying the Qur’an. Taqwa ‘awareness’ brings about a relationship not only through fear, but also hope, love, and other emotions. Developing awareness and understanding of emotions is a crucial element of a Muslim’s spiritual progress, as we are motivated not only by fear of the Hereafter, but by our love for our Creator. This Ramadan we should maintain our taqwa through developing our love, hope and fear towards Allah (s.w.t.).

Dr Domenyk Eades is a specialist in Arabic language education, translation, and Islamic studies. He holds a PhD in linguistics from the University of Melbourne, and has worked in universities in various countries including Oman and Indonesia. From 2010-2014 he was Senior Lecturer in Arabic at the University of Salford, in the UK.

Akhlaq and the Importance of Meccan Qur’an Dr Hakan CORUH In Muslim tradition, the Prophet is often seen as the ‘walking Qur’an’. His sunna (his normative behaviour) or his ways of act was considered as a practical commentary (or practical exegesis) on the Qur’an (A. Saeed, The Qur’an). He illustrated the Qur’an with his every act and word. As his wife A’ishah (d. 678) highlighted, he was a perfect embodiment of the holy book. Aisha (ra) was once asked about akhlaq of the Prophet.”. She replied with a question, “Have you not read the Qur’an?” They said, “Yes.” Upon this she said, “His akhlaq was the Qur’an.” (A. Unal, The Qur’an). It should be noted that the affairs of Islam are founded on the following order: Meta-physical principles, Akhlaq area, ‘Ibadat (Worship), Social Regulations (Law, trading). It is also emphasised that the three principle themes of the Meccan revelations of the Qur’an are “Allah and his unity (tawhid),” “the coming resurrection and judgement,” and “righteous conduct” (Denffer, 1991, p. 87). Therefore, Muslims need to properly understand the concept of akhlaq and apply in their daily lives. Akhlaq is the plural of qhuluq in Arabic, meaning “character and temperament of a person”. There are various aspects of ethical duties and responsibilities such as human’s duties towards himself/herself, physical, spiritual such as taqwa, hilm, hikmah, ‘iffat, honesty (sidq, istiqama),

modesty (tawadu), ethical duties in family, social ethical duties and responsibilities, and ethical duties related to business and commerce (Cagrici, Ahlak, DIA). There are various verses regarding the many aspects of akhlaq. The Qur’an should be considered to be an ethics and theology book. As Muslims, we need to re-discover the universal principles of Meccan period and main akhlaq values of the Qur’an in the contemporary period. Meccan Qur’anic verses also indicate the main objectives of the Shari‘ah (maqasid al-shari’ah). According to Imam Shatibi(d. 790/1388), an Andalusian muslim scholar, there are five main purposes of the religions. They are protection of religion, protection of life, protection of progeny, protection of the mind and protection of wealth. Following maqasid method, a number of new values could be developed in response to the needs of the modern world. For example, Ramadan al-Bouti (mercy upon him) emphasises the necessity of including the concept of freedom (hurriya) as the sixth purpose of the religion (al-Bouti, Davabitu’l Maslaha). In this month of the Qur’an, we can read and contemplate on the Qur’an by considering these universal values and akhlaq principles of the Qur’an.

Islam Comes to the Seas North of Australia

Bilal Cleland

ilal42@bigpond.com It has become commonplace for our Australian historians to claim that our continent was isolated from the rest of the world for millennia until the coming of the white man. For generations Australian children were told that Australia was “discovered” by Captain Cook, the English explorer. In recent years this has been challenged by increasingly articulate and media savvy First Nations people. To describe the colonization of the ”empty land” or “Terra Nullius” by white Christian British convicts and their overseers as just “settlement,” is now not acceptable to many Australians. Muslims came to this region very early in history. Islam became established in the

in the following years. A glance at a map of the region shows how shipping between Arabia or Africa and China had to pass through the Straits of Malacca, between Sumatra and Malaysia or the Sunda Strait, between Sumatra and Java. Not much research has been done into the history of Muslim contact with Australia during this early period. What Hijaz, which was a major trade corridor is certain is that many Muslim traders for Asia, Africa and the Byzantine and had dealings with the eastern islands Latin Empires. East Africa, with which of Indonesia, for they were the Spice the Hijaz was linked, had trading ties Islands, a few small volcanic islands of with India, China and the Byzantines. the Moluccas; now the Maluku Province.

Muslim trading posts were established The Muslim merchants were great sailors and they had to keep secret the source of their spice wealth.

Refugee Affairs

The Mistreatment of Asylum Seekers Bilal Cleland

ilal42@bigpond.com Those of us who grew up in the postwar period in Australia are acutely aware of the horrors of Nazism and Japanese fascism. We have known people who survived the Holocaust or who suffered under Japanese tyranny in prisoner of war slave gangs. We have also witnessed how anti-democratic political forces hate to be compared to these evil enemies of humanity, with good reason. However, when someone who has experienced the horrors of the Holocaust in his own family makes such a comparison, we take notice. Dr David Berger is such a witness against our present asylum seeker policy. He wrote “It’s Okay To Compare Australia In 2016 With Nazi Germany, And Here’s Why, “ in New Matilda 22 May 2016. “And there is the real lesson the Nazis have taught us, the lesson we must draw on every day in 2016 if the gruesome experiences of 19331945 are to teach us anything from history: if you tell a big enough lie, a lie so far out of the experience of ordinary people that they cannot comprehend it, if you tell them that you are doing nothing more than keeping them safe, if you tell

them that desperate times require desperate measures and if you do your utmost to conceal from them the unpleasant reality of what you are actually doing, then eventually you will find you can get away with absolutely anything, even the industrialised killing of millions of people. So when Malcolm Turnbull tells us that ‘We must not be misty-eyed’ about border protection, it is indeed appropriate to recall the words of Joseph Goebbels in 1942: “There should be no squeamishness about it”.” The suffering of innocent people in our offshore concentration camps is creating mental illness and has resulted in suicides and murder. Although Minister Dutton’s claim that increasing the refugee intake would result in an influx of illiterates unable to speak English who would take Australian jobs and apparently also create queues at Centrelink, is stunning in its hypocrisy and brutality. He allows a million foreign workers, 457 visa holders, to work here and he knows how the detainees are suffering. That it plays well with an ignorant electorate is all that matters. That Prime Minister Turnbull called him “outstanding” after this, reveals how deeply he is held in thrall by the extreme right of the LNP. To top this xenophobic outburst, the Deputy Prime Minister then went on to state before the nation that there was a rise in boat arrivals of asylum seekers from Indonesia as a response to the Labor government’s decision to halt the live export trade to that country. This was swiftly denied by Indonesia and smoothed over by the PM and the Foreign Minister. A breach in Indonesian-Australian relations was avoided. The present racist, Islamophobic asylum seeker policies of both major parties are beginning to endanger our international relations. Our xenophobia has already damaged our international reputation. We citizens must defend justice and stand against cruel treatment of those who come seeking our protection. Muslims remember the attitude of the Christian king of Ethiopia towards the early Muslim refugees from Mecca. Our Christian leaders should emulate him.

Ramadan

Dr Rateb Jneid Assalamu Alaikom wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh, All thanks are due to Allah (SWT), the Lord of the worlds, and peace and prayers are upon His messenger Muhammad (SW) Dear Brothers & Sister, Fear Allaah and obey Him. I give you glad tidings as the month of Ramadan has approached us. This is the month in which the Qur’aan was revealed as guidance for mankind, as well as a clarification and separation between truth and falsehood. During this month, the gates of mercy are opened and the gates of hell are sealed. Satan and all other jinn are chained during this blessed month. Rewards for good deeds performed in this month are multiplied, sins forgiven and supplications responded to and answered. “This is the month the beginning of which is mercy, the middle part is forgiveness and the last part of it is release from hellfire.” There is night in the month of Ramadan which is better than a thousand months (83 years, 4 months). This night is called Lailatul Qadr. The Night of Power is better for you to live, to experience and to enjoy than one thousand months of your personal life. Even if you were to live one thousand months (83.4 years) with sincerity, dedication, and sacrifices and with good intentions and deeds, the Night of Power (Lailatul Qadr) is still far better for you to live and to enjoy. It is the month of mercy, compassion and charity. The Prophet (SAW) was asked which was the best type of charity, he (SW) replied, “The charity of Ramadan (or given during Ramadan).” (Tirmithi) Anas ibn Maalik, may Allaah be pleased with

him, narrated that the Prophet (SW) said, ‘Charity extinguishes the anger of the Lord and protects the giver of it from an evil end’. (Tirmithi) The Prophet (SW) said, ‘The shade of the believer on the Day of Judgment will be his charity’. (Ahmad) Allah (SWT) only accepts charity which is from Halal (lawful) means. The Prophet (SW) said, ‘Allaah accepts charity with His Right Hand and then increases it in reward for the person giving it, just like one of you raises his colt, until the reward for it becomes the size of a mountain’. (Bukhaari & Muslim) Charity given in secret is better than that given openly because Allah said, which means, “If you disclose your charitable expenditures, they are good; but if you conceal them and give them to the poor, it is better for you, and He will remove from you some of your misdeeds (thereby). And Allah, with what you do, is (Fully) Acquainted.” (Al-Baqarah: 271). The Companions were also known for their immense generosity, Ali ibn Abi Talib (RA) and his wife, Fatima al-Zahra (RA) fasted for three days and each day they gave all the food they had in charity.Allah (SWT) revealed a verse of Qur’an about them “And they feed, for love of Him, the poor, the orphan and the prisoner.” (Qur’an 76:8) Dear brothers, there is nothing wrong in being wealthy but it is important to avoid being greedy and stingy. Dear Muslims, Hold fast to the qualities enjoined by your religion and keep to the path of your Prophet sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam so that you will prosper in this life and the Hereafter.

All. This month’s article is all about a matter close to my legal practice. Doing business in a foreign jurisdiction, especially in an emerging market. Emerging markets have immense growth potential. However, any prospective investor intending to set up a business in these markets must be cautious of the legal issues and challenges that arise in relation to investing. The first hurdle that prospective investors face in entering emerging markets is that there may be restrictions on foreign investment or other forms of approvals required for foreigners to enter local markets. For example, there may be limits the extent of foreign ownership permissible in various business sectors. While certain types of business activities may be carried out by entities that are entirely foreign-owned, others must be carried out only by entirely local-owned entities. Some types of business activities may be carried out by entities that are partially foreign-owned, with limits on the extent of foreign ownership varying depending on the type of business activity, such as in Vietnam.

Z e n o

What kind of structure do you use to set up in that emerging jurisdiction, do you need a local director, what are the accounting and corporate reporting obligations, how easy is it open a bank account? My advice is that you should carefully plan an exit strategy for the worst-case scenario where a commercial sector you entered is subsequently closed to foreign investors. Another key consideration is the legal contracts and language. This may seem straightforward enough, but has major pitfalls for the unwary. Foreign investors may not realise that the choice of language for a contract may have serious consequences for the validity of the contract. In Indonesia, for example, one piece of legislation requires that contracts involving an Indonesian party should be written in the Indonesian language. This requirement may apply regardless of whether the contracts are governed by Indonesian law or a foreign law. The chief takeaway here is that foreign investors should be aware of the local laws that govern certain types of contracts, and ensure that the execution of such

contracts complies with these local laws and regulations. It is easy to be unaware of the local employment law issues such as restrictions on the hiring of foreigners. Employment law issues are not only restricted to the hiring of foreigners. In many cases, the employment of locals in emerging markets may not be as straightforward as you think. It is important to consider the extensive protections provided to the employees under local laws such as minimum wages, labour union protections, leave entitlements and restrictions on termination of employment. These requirements could vary from country to country. You need to be prepared and have a strategy in dealing with potential disputes with your foreign partners and staff. From an Asian perspective there is the Singapore International Arbitration Centre and in the Middle East, the Dubai International Arbitration Centre. These are much cheaper and quicker alternatives when you have a matter of disagreement. Till next time, Masalama and Ramadan Mubarak.

73 The federal budget for 2016-17 was pitched to popular issues such as superannuation, budget creep, company tax, multinational tax and infrastructure. In this budget forecast, the economy is expected to grow at 2.5 per cent, unemployment is expected to be 5.5 per cent and the budget deficit is estimated to $37.1 billion. Reduction in Income Tax From 1 July 2016, income threshold will be increased from $80,000 to $87,000 at which marginal tax rate rises from 32.5 per cent to 37 per cent. This will deliver a tax cut of up to $6.04 a week or $315 a year to the wealthiest 25 per cent of the population, leaving 75 per cent of Australians with no tax cuts. The cost to the budget for these tax cuts will be $3.95 billion over 4 years. From 1 July 2017, the budget deficit repair levy of 2 per cent on those earning above $180,000 a year will be abolished which will effectively deliver two tax cuts to rich Australians. Superannuation From 1 July 2016, the annual income threshold at which concessional contribution tax of 30 per cent applies will be lowered from $300,000 to $250,000. Annual threshold on concessional superannuation contribution is lowered from $30,000 to $25,000 for all Australians. Australians earning less than $37,000 a year will continue to receive an automatic superannuation rebate of up to $500 per annum to compensate and augment their superannuation income accumulation. From 1 July 2017, there will be a cap of $1.6 million that can be transferred from a superannuation accumulation account into retirement account, where earnings are tax free when the age of superannuant is 60 or over. Only 4 per cent of Australians will be affected by this measure of $1.6 million cap. From the budget night (3 May 2016), there will be a life time non-concessional contribution cap of $500,000 which

Budget 2016-17:

How Does It Affect Us? Dr. Abul Jalaluddin are made from after tax incomes. The superannuation measures will cost the budget $2.9 billion over 4 years. Reduction in Company Tax From 1 July 2016, small business tax rate will be reduced by 1 per cent from 28.5 per cent to 27.5 per cent. The annual turnover threshold for small business will be increased from $2 million to $10 million. Approximately 870,000 companies employing 3.4 million Australians will be eligible for this reduced rate of tax. The annual turnover threshold will be gradually increased with a gradual decrease in company tax rate. By 1 July 2026, all businesses including multinational large corporations will pay a company tax rate of 25 per cent. The current tax cuts to small businesses will cost the budget $5.3 billion over 4 years. A Slug on Multinationals If multinational corporations

with

global revenue of more than $1 billion per annum are caught shifting profits offshore, they will be hit with a 40 per cent penalty rate of tax on that income. This tax avoidance measure will raise $3.9 billion over 4 years from multinational companies. Education Budget has allocated $1.2 billion for school finding over the next 3 years, with new quality conditions on literacy and numeracy. It has scrapped the full deregulation of university fees but left the door open for fees on certain elite courses to increase in the future. The budget released a new Discussion Paper retaining a 20 per cent cut to university course funding, allowing universities to set their own fees for certain courses, recovering HECS debt from deceased estates and shelving federal funding for private colleges and sub-bachelor degrees. Health From 1 July 2017, public hospitals will

receive an additional $2.9 billion over 3 years, of which NSW will receive $652 million. Budget cuts an amount of $1.2 billion from complex healthcare provided by aged care providers. It will continue to freeze Medicare rebates for all PGs, medical specialist and allied health services till 2020 which will save $925 million over the period. The private insurance rebate and Medicare levy surcharge will also be freezed till 2021, saving $744 million for the budget bottom line. Over the next 4 years, restrictions will be placed on Medicare Benefit Schedule and Veterans Benefit Schedule, saving $51 million. Infrastructure Sydney’s proposed airport at Badgerys Creek received $115 million in this budget; $3 billion to build Melbourne’s East West Link; $57 million for Melbourne Metro Rail project; $594 million to build an inland freight rail link through Victoria, NSW and Queensland and $2 billion in loans for dams and

water infrastructure. Defence and Security In the next financial year, Defence budget will reach 1.88 per cent of GDP, totalling $32.3 billion. The budget allocated $153 to Australian Federal Police and Australian Crime Commission for upgrading their security systems. The fight against IS in Iraq and Syria is allocated $351 million in the next year. A $4 million allocation is provided for a new hotline for parents to get advice and counselling if they are concerned their kids are succumbing to religious extremism. Immigration Government will offer premier border Clarence for certain passengers with fast tracked border Clarence and separate lounges, initially at Sydney, Melbourne and Perth airports. It will close 4 onshore detention centres located in Sydney, Melbourne, Perth and Darwin. Christmas Island centre will be mothballed from 2018. New Zealand citizens will be granted a streamlined path to Australian residency from 1 July 2017. Welfare Over the next 4 years, a new $840 million Youth Employment Package will assist an estimated 120,000 vulnerable young people to find work. The budget established a $96 million fund to help identify groups at risk of long-term welfare dependency and move them into employment. From 1 September 2016, government will cut carbon tax compensation from new welfare recipients, saving $1.3 billion over 5 years. Other Budgetary Measures Climate Change Authority is unfunded from 1 July 2017. The Great Barrier Reef received $171 million over 4 years. From 1 July 2017, excise on tobacco will increase by 12.5 per cent raising $4.7 billion over 4 years. A pack of 25 cigarettes that now costs about $25 will cost $41 by 2020.

Stage one of Islamist Plans for Shari’ah law in Australia

This was the title of the Seven Nightly News reports made and posted on the 26th of April 2016. The correspondent started his special investigation by announcing that Muslims want to replace Australian law with a parallel legal system and they have started their stage one plan by applying the Islamic mediation to settle a number of family law disputes. But under Shari’ah law, according to the reporter, there are serious concerns about the rights of women. This debate on the issue of legal recognition of some aspects of Shari’ah has gained popularity-as a first eventacross the province of Ontario, Canada, in 2004. The second event was the Archbishop of Canterbury’s address in 2008 to the Royal Courts of Justice in which he promoted the concept of Britain becoming a “plural jurisdiction” by accommodating aspects

of Shari’ah law. This call for recognition of Shari’ah has been a common issue for Muslim communities in Western democratic countries. The Ontario Shari’ah debate stimulated arguments around the world about the extent to which Muslims could find space in a liberal democratic system like Canada. Although the enabling sections of the Arbitration Act were subsequently repealed, it did

stir up the possibility there could be faith-based dispute resolution for family law and other legal matters within a common law system. This debate started when a Muslim organisation known as the Islamic Institute of Civil Justice sought to offer arbitration in accordance with Islamic legal principles and Canadian law. The Muslim Personal/ Family Law Campaign was promoted as a way to offer marriage and dispute resolution services to Canadian Muslims. This campaign proposed to implement Quranic requirements to guide each party to settle disputes themselves, deciding the case by mutual consent, and then the parties would be helped to finalise the process accordingly. If agreement could not be reached, the service would offer the help of two arbitrators to make a decision that would eventually become binding and enforced by Canadian law. According to

the Quran: If ye fear a breach between them twain, appoint [two] arbiters, one from his family, and the other from hers; if they wish for peace, Allah will cause their reconciliation: For Allah hath full knowledge, and is acquainted with all things. (Qur’an 4:35). The reaction to this campaign created rage and moral panic with many believing what was being suggested was the enforcement of criminal punishments. Consequently, it was picked up by the Canadian news, then by news all over the world: “Canada judges will soon be enforcing Islamic law or Shari’ah, in disputes between Muslims, possibly paving the way to one day administering criminal sentences such as stoning women caught in adultery”. To determine whether to allow Shari’ah arbitration in family law, the Ontario government appointed the Honourable Marion Boyd, former Attorney General of Ontario, to investigate the extent to which federal and provincial law could uphold the interests of citizens while also respecting the use of religious law to arbitrate family disputes. Suggesting numerous changes to the arbitral system in Ontario, most of which involved adding to the training, transparency and accountability of arbitrators, Boyd, in her report, did not consider that Shari’ah law would by its very essence undermine or vitiate a woman’s liberty or equality. The report recommended many important safeguards that were aimed at considering the mediation and arbitration proposed as a selfregulating regime. However, the Ontario government rejected the findings of the report and amended the law to deny recognition to faithbased arbitration of family law disputes under the Arbitration Act. A similar public debate occurred in the UK in 2008, when the Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams, addressed the Royal Courts of Justice. Williams promoted the concept of Britain adopting a “plural jurisdiction” by accommodating aspects of Shari’ah law. A few months before that, Lord Phillips of Worth Matravers, then Lord Chief Justice of England and Wales, during his speech, “Equality Before the Law,” at the East London Muslim Centre said: “There is no reason why principles of Sharia Law, or any other religious code should not be the basis for mediation or other forms of alternative dispute resolution”. It should be noted here that Archbishop Rowan Williams and Lord Justice Phillips were advocating state

accommodation of Shari’ah councils, which already existed in the UK since the 1980s, and the law of the land does not prohibit this. Furthermore, due to the plurality of the society, the state should allow individuals to choose jurisdictions when dealing with legal issues such as “aspects of marital law, the regulation of financial transactions and authorised structures of mediation and conflict resolution”. Williams argued it is possible for secular laws to secure parties’ fundamental rights in case of unlawful decisions based on religious laws. Finally, he argued that other religious communities have state-sanctioned religious tribunals, namely the Jewish Beth Din (pl. Battei Din) and ecclesiastical councils based on Catholic canon law; therefore, it is unfair and unequal to deny the Muslim community the possibility of Shari’ah councils. For instance, in Australia, since its inception in 1905, the Sydney Beth Din which firmly anchored in the principles of Halacha (Jewish law), has served Jewish communities in Australia and New Zealand as a forum for obtaining Jewish divorces, converting to Judaism, confirming personal status and adjudicating disputes stemming from divorce, business and community issues. While the Jewish community in Australia maintains a Beth Din in Melbourne and Sydney, no body said anything about Jews want to replace Australian law with a parallel legal system. From the arguments cited above, it is obvious that the debates, about the recognition of Islamic law, were drawing upon assumptions and incomplete facts, which obscured the reality of the situations. And that is exactly what is happening now in Australia. While there is no official demand or formal proposal for the accommodation of Islamic law by Muslims, the media in Australia stirred up a whole campaign because Shari’ah law is used in mediations to

settle family law disputes. Islamic family law recognises the different processes of alternative d i s p u t e resolution: sulh (conciliation), w a s a t a h (mediation) and tahkeem (arbitration). Normally, this kind of arbitration and mediation is relatively informal. In line with a preference in most cultures, it keeps family disputes private in seeking the help of senior family members or an imam to counsel the couple and help them arrive at a resolution of their differences. The real situation is that Muslims do not want to replace Australian law with Shari’ah law. This is simply not possible even within Shari’ah, which accepts legal pluralism and does not impose Islamic law on non-Muslims. What most Australian Muslims want is the freedom to consider Islam and its teachings on ethical matters t h e y confront in their lives and harmonise this within the social and legal framework in Australia. They abide by the common law, and within the latitude of this law and flexibility of the Islamic legal tradition, they can find their ways. They were interested for recognition of some aspects of Islamic family law concerning marriage and divorce, which would facilitate their way of life. Consequently, the best solution is a system of ijtihad(legal independent reasoning) to be applied by Muslim scholars and recognised by the Australian government, about the formation of Shari’ah tribunals mediation and arbitration. These tribunals would be composed of a group of Muslim scholars advised by specialists in particular disciplines, who can rule on issues that arise in the community and arbitrate disputes within it and eventually facilitate the work of the court so parties may have their agreements enforced without going through the whole process again in front of the court.

Work Visas – Points testing system recommend to study hard because many people let themselves down and fail to meet the overall points test because of their English language capabilities. Skilled Employment Up to 20 points can be awarded for a combination of skilled employment in or outside of Australia. The more years you have worked in skilled employment, the more points you can be awarded.

Prof Mohamad Abdalla Director of the Centre for Islamic Thought and Education (CITE) at the University of South Australia

By Mark Pelley

Principle Migration Agent What are the “points” people refer to when talking about obtaining a skilled migration visa for entering into Australia? Effectively, the Australian government has set up a points testing system to determine if you meet the requirements for particular work visas to live and work in Australia. These points are based on the following categories: Age You need to be under 50 years old when applying for this visa except for specific roles such as research science. From the age of 25 – 32 years (30 points), the younger you are the more points you will be awarded with the exception of those 18-24 years old. English Language Ability You will need to take an English test (such as the International Language Testing System) within 3 years of your application. The better your score the more points that are awarded up to 20 points for superior English. I strongly

Qualifications Diplomas or equivalent award qualifications recognised by Australia can earn an individual 10 points, while recognised bachelor degrees can earn 15 points. Doctorates can earn 20 points. If your qualification was obtained in Australia it is possible to earn an extra 5 points. Other Factors There are other factors which can give additional points including: Obtaining community language credentials, studying in regional Australia, if your partner has skilled qualifications recognised by Australia, working for a professional year in Australia within 4 years of your application, nomination by a state or territory or (where relevant) an eligible family member. Summary When I explain the points based system to clients I emphasise the following: If you review the system as a whole, it is NOT on what Australia can offer you in terms of a better lifestyle and economic opportunities. Rather it is based on a system, where you can demonstrate what abilities you can offer Australia in terms of needed skilled employment for our country.

History of Muslim Nationalities Under Soviet Rule

Dr Dennis Walker

One international factor that inevitably affected the future of Soviet Muslims was the close relations that Soviet governments established with a number of left-wing Arab nationalist regimes. Such relations necessitated the expansion of courses in Arabic language and culture throughout the Soviet Union to produce required experts and personnel. A flood of Soviet Arabic-language publications and broadcasts targeted for the Middle East could also be heard by Soviet Muslims. The Soviet Union had to convince Arab public opinion that Islam was not persecuted in the USSR, and this meant the rise of “official” Muslim clergy and religio-cultural bodies that, however carefully the Soviet Government might nominate and control them, did occasion a good deal of unprecedented contact between Central Asians and the Arab and other Muslim peoples and governments. Figures and employees in official “Soviet Islam” also built agency to widen the Islamic cultural capital of Soviet-ruled Muslim populations. To justify Arab alliances to its own public, the Soviet Government sponsored the translation of literary works by “progressive” or Communist Arabs, projected Arabic music, and patronized tours of the USSR by Arab folklore and operatic troupes. Soviet authorities sometimes became concerned that these exchanges and contacts sometimes were having an effect on Soviet Muslims quite separate from their original international or political aim; and that increased acquaintance with kindred Muslim peoples of the Middle East was strengthening the Soviet Muslim awareness of all in their own historic religion and culture that separated them from the Russians with whom they were politically united by the USSR. This impression, suggested by the official Soviet Press, is confirmed by Arabic accounts from the Middle-Eastern side of Soviet-sponsored contacts with Central Asians. In Arab accounts, the Central Asian Muslims appeared almost

indiscriminately thirsty for the modern Arabic culture of the Islamic heart-lands from which they have been cut off for so long. Arab journalists observed this during and following a 1970 tour by Dr Muhammad al-Fahham, Shaikh of Cairo’s al-Azhar Islamic University, of the Central Asian Soviet Republics: “When their plane landed at Tashkent airport the only reception awaiting him was a small group of a few aged men with long white beards whose appearance suggested that they were the pitiful remnants of an extinct generation over whom had swept hurricanes of mythic violence. Although these men allegedly would represent the element providing religious leadership to a Muslim community that semi-official statistics set at 28 million souls, yet the only thing they knew of the Arabic language was two words: as-Salamu Alaykum, Peace be upon you. What that means is obvious and simple: that the Arabic language is prevented from getting any currency: there are no institutions in which it is really taught and even inside private houses, among the individuals of a single family, it cannot circulate.” When, the next Friday, the Shaykh Mahmud al-Hasadi started to recite the Noble Qur’an, in the Mosque of Tala Shaykh, scores of youth suddenly gathered in a circle around him. The Mosque of Tala Shaikh became choked with near to five thousand of the faithful come to offer prayers. When the Egyptian reciter chanted the verses of Noble Scripture the “terrible glaciers” of Soviet debarring of Muslims from Islam were suddenly pierced by “the subterranean and warm river of Islam”: many who had come to pray collectively wept in “a lamentation for the dead”. One of the journalists accompanying the delegation said in a dispatch that he sent to an Egyptian paper: “These Soviet Muslims’ reception, and their response to the recitation of the Qur’an in this fashion, we had totally failed to anticipate or foresee. And their respect for the Arabic language surpasses everything. When one of them chances upon some newspaper cutting bearing

Arabic letters, he will snatch it up, carefully, clean it, and put it in the highest place he can reach!” When the Shaykh al-Fahham and his companions arrived in Tajikistan, the qadi (Muslim judge) of that Muslim republic invited them to dinner. The Shaykh and those accompanying him were astonished to hear the voice of the Arabic singer Sharifah Fadil resound throughout the residence. As the accompanying journalist put it: “the man wanted to give us a warm welcome. That is why he played that tape of an Egyptian song the meaning of which he could never understand, for us to hear. All that he knew was that he had recorded it from Radio Cairo, and that to broadcast it at the hour of receiving us might be a kind of honor and tribute for us. This man had good intentions, yet he could not know how ashamed we felt at the [indecent] words of that song. How we wished that tape-recorder be afflicted with sudden dumbness, or that its electric current would be cut off from reaching it in those moments in the depths of Central Asia” The Egyptian journalist termed the life of the Muslim communities in the USSR “underprivileged”. The Kuwayt salafi journal _al-Mujtama‘_ raged that “this is a polite and misleadingly casual way of putting it when we examine the reality of what is being suffered by these Soviet Muslims in a region among the most fertile in the USSR --a region considered by reason of the wheat it produces ‘the bread basket of the USSR’. For, the Muslims there are under the surveillance of four religious bodies whose real function is to keep under observation and carefully control any new sap of greenness in the tree of Islam so densely enveloped in Arctic Russian ice.” The item published in Egypt and Kuwayt ended by demanding that al-Azhar press the Soviet authorities to allow Egypt to open Arabic-medium schools for Soviet Muslims in the USSR [Reprinted in alMujtama‘, Kuwayt, 6 October 1970 p. 10].

Abdu-Errahman M. Tholia • Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “There has come to you Ramadan, a blessed month which Allah has enjoined you to fast, during which the gates of heaven are opened and the gates of Hell Fire are closed, and the rebellious devils are chained up. In it there is a night which is better than a thousand months, and whoever is deprived of its goodness is indeed deprived.” Narrated by Al-Imam Al-Nasaa’i, Al Imam Ahmad, classed as Saheeh by Al-Imam Al-Albaani in his Saheeh al-Targheeb •Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “Whoever spends Laylat al-Qadr in prayer out of faith and in the hope of reward, will be forgiven his previous sins.” Narrated by Al-Bukhari and Muslim • The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “At every breaking of the fast, Allah has people whom He redeems.” Classified as Saheeh (Authentic) by Al-Imam Al Albaani in his Saheeh al-Targheeb • “The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was the most generous of people [in doing good], and he was most generous of all in Ramadan when Jibreel met with him; he used to meet him every night in Ramadan and teach him the Quran. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was more generous in doing good than a blowing wind.” [Reported by Al-Imam Al-Bukhaari] • “In Paradise there are rooms whose outside can be seen from the inside and the inside can be seen from the outside. Allah has prepared them for those who feed the poor, those who are gentle in speech, those who fast regularly, and those who pray at night when people are asleep.” [Reported by Imam Ahmad and Imam Ibn Khuzaymah] • “Whoever gives food to a fasting person with which to break his fast, he will have the reward equal to his (the fasting person), without it detracting in the slightest from the reward of the fasting person.” [Reported by Al-Imam AlTirmidhi]

Gateways of Goodness in Ramadan Allah The Almighty Says (what means): {The month of Ramadan [is that] in which was revealed the Quran, a guidance for the people and clear proofs of guidance and criterion. So whoever sights [the new moon of] the month, let him fast it.} [Quran 2:185] Allah The Almighty Says (what means): {[Fasting is for] a limited number of days.} [Quran 2:184] Thus, we should invest our best efforts in these limited days by approaching the gateways of goodness. For instance: 1-Supplicating Allah The Almighty upon seeing the new moon. The Prophet, sallallaahu àlayhi wa sallam( may Allaah exalt his mention ), said upon seeing it: “Allahumma ahillahu ‘alayna bil-yumn wal-imaan was-salaamah wal-islam. Rabbi wa rabbuk Allah(O Allah, Let this new moon come to us with goodness and faith, safety and Islam. My Lord and your Lord Is Allah).” 2-Breaking one’s fast promptly: The Prophet, sallallaahu àlayhi wa sallam( may Allaah exalt his mention), said:“People will continue to adhere to good as long as they hasten to break the fast.”[Al-Bukhari] 3- Supplicating Allah The Almighty upon breaking the fast. The Prophet, sallallaahu àlayhi wa sallam( may Allaah exalt his mention), said: “The fasting person has an answered supplication upon breaking his fast.” The Prophet, sallallaahu àlayhi wa sallam( may Allaah exalt his mention ), used to say:“Thahab ath-thama’ wabtallat al-‘urooq wa thabat alajr in shaa’ Allah(The thirst has been quenched, the veins have been moistened, and the reward is confirmed – Allah willing).” [Abu Daawood, Ad-Daaraqutni, and Al-Haakim] 4-Praising Allah The Almighty after eating and drinking. The Prophet, sallallaahu àlayhi wa sallam(may Allaah exalt his mention), said: “Allah is pleased with the slave who praises Him after eating and drinking.”[Muslim] 5-Observing Taraaweeh prayer(voluntary night prayers performed during Ramadan) regularly. The Prophet, sallallaahu àlayhi wa sallam( may Allaah exalt his mention) said:“The best prayer, after the obligatory ones, is the voluntary night prayers.” [Muslim] 6- Performing voluntary night prayer with faith and hoping for reward. The Prophet, sallallaahu àlayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his mention ), said: “Whoever performs voluntary prayers in the nights of Ramadan with faith and hoping for reward from Allah, his past sins will be forgiven.” [Al-Bukhari and Muslim] 7- Keenness on having Suhoor (predawn meal). The Prophet, sallallaahu àlayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his mention ), said: “Have a pre-dawn meal; it is a

blessing.” [Al-Bukhari and Muslim] 8-Walking to the Masjid. The Prophet, sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his mention ), said: “Whoever goes to the Masjid at dawn or dusk (for prayer), Allah prepares a hospitable abode for him in Paradise every time he does this.” [AlBukhari and Muslim] 9- Providing food for the fasting person.

Inside The Law with MLN

Ms Asira Umar, MLN Intern

Stepping inside the world of law with the Muslim Legal Network on Thursday 28 April 2016 proved to be a rewarding experience. Commencing the day at the Children’s Court of Victoria with Media and Communications Manager, Janet Matthew, students were given a brief tour of a courtroom and familiarised with the court system. Magistrate Jennifer Bowles revealed the intricacies of the Criminal and Child Protection divisions and touched on the complexities many magistrates in the Children’s Court face in remaining objective when handling cases. She believes children’s crime doesn’t boil down to religion but rather ethnic waves of migration where children are often unattended by parents or feel lost in our culture. Students sat in on various case hearings before attending the Empowerment Workshop hosted by the Muslim Legal Network at the Law Institute of Victoria. Young Lawyers Coordinator, Sylvie Alston, kicked off the workshop speaking about skills and knowledge gained during early career development with YL and career fairs for penultimate and final year law students. Thomas Hobbs, a specialist legal recruiter at Burgess Paluch, taught attendees how to perfect CV’s, interviews and graduate job applications. Accomplished lawyer, Jessica Main from McKean Park shared her own tips and emphasised the benefits of volunteering to a successful career. Principal and owner of his own boutique firm

and LIV Board member, Zubair Mian shared his experiences of moving from social work to law and finally owning his own firm. The workshop wrapped up with a speech on managing faith in the workplace. Tamim Rahman, a corporate and commercial lawyer at Mills Oakley and Secretary of the Muslim Legal Network, spoke about familiarising your employer with your religious commitments during occasions such as Eid and Ramadan to achieve transparency about your religious commitments. Such openness helps many Muslim professionals fulfil their duties without detriment to their careers. Tamim advised students to be candid about their Islamic obligations and that ‘a workplace that is accepting of your commitments is more likely to offer an environment in which you can succeed than the alternative’. Students were enlightened by the presentations and valued the opportunity to network with LIV President, Steven Sapountsis, corporate tax lawyer and Special Counsel at Deloitte Lawyers, Asad Ansari, and Senior In-House Legal Counsel for Yarra Trams, Adel Mohamed over lunch. Students walked away having thoroughly enjoyed their day and obtained greater insight into the legal profession. The Muslim Legal Network thanks the Muslim Students Association of Victoria, ACTIVATE and the Law Institute of Victoria for their valuable support and assistance in delivering this event. MLN encourages more students to volunteer with MLN to improve their professional network, be mentored by lawyers, gain experience dealing with clients and develop their careers while giving back to the community through our access-to-justice projects.

Zakat Al-Fitr Dr. Bilal Philips Meaning Zakah al-Fitr is often referred to as Sadaqah al-Fitr. The word Fitr means the same as Iftar, breaking a fast and it comes from the same root word as Futur which means breakfast. Thus, Islamically, Zakah al-Fitr is the name given to charity which is distributed at the end of the fast of Ramadan.

Conditions

Classification Sadaqah al-Fitr is a duty which is Wajib on every Muslim, whether male or female, minor or adult as long as he/she has the means to do so. The proof that this form of charity is compulsory can be found in the Sunnah whereby Ibn `Umar reported that the Prophet (peace be upon him) made Zakah al-Fitr compulsory on every slave, freeman, male, female, young and old among the Muslims; one Sa` of dried dates or one Sa` of barley. [1] The head of the household may pay the required amount for the other members. Abu Sa’id al-Khudri said, “On behalf of our young and old, free men and slaves, we used to take out during Allah’s Messenger’s (peace be upon him) lifetime one Sa` of grain, cheese or raisins”. [2]

Significance The significant role played by Zakah in the circulation of wealth within the Islamic society is also played by the Sadaqah al-Fitr. However, in the case of Sadaqah al-Fitr, each individual

Fitr compulsory so that those who fasted may be purified of their idle deeds and shameful talk (committed during Ramadan) and so that the poor may be fed. Whoever gives it before Salah will have it accepted as Zakah, while he who gives it after the Salah has given Sadaqah.” [3] Hence, the goal of Sadaqah al-Fitr is the spiritual development of the Believers. By making them give up some of their wealth, the believers are taught the higher moral characteristics of generosity, compassion (sympathy for the unfortunate), gratitude to God and the righteousness. But, since Islam does not neglect man’s material need, part of the goal of Zakah al-Fitr is the economic well-being of the poorer members of society.

is required to calculate how much charity is due from himself and his dependents and go into the community in order to find those who deserve such charity. Thus, Sadaqah al-Fitr plays a very important role in the development of the bonds of community. The rich are obliged to come in direct contact with the poor, and the poor are put in contact with the extremely poor. This contact between the various levels of society helps to build real bonds of brotherhood and love within the Islamic community and trains those who have, to be generous to those who do not

have.

Purpose The main purpose of Zakah al-Fitr is to provide those who fasted with the means of making up for their errors during the month of fasting. Zakah al-Fitr also provides the poor with a means with which they can celebrate the festival of breaking the fast (`Eid al-Fitr) along with the rest of the Muslims. Ibn Abbas reported, “The Prophet (peace be upon him) made Zakah al-

Zakah al-Fitr is only Wajib for a particular period of time. If one misses the time period without a good reason, he has sinned and can not make it up. This form of charity becomes obligatory from sunset on the last day of fasting and remains obligatory until the beginning of Salah al-’Eid’ (i.e. shortly after sunrise on the following day). However, it can be paid prior to the above mentioned period, as many of the Sahabah [companions of the Prophet (peace be upon him)] used to pay Sadaqah al-Fitr a couple days before the Èid. Nafi reported that the Prophet’s companion Ibn Ùmar used to give it to those who would accept it and the people used to give it a day or two before the Èid.[4] Ibn Ùmar reported that the Prophet (peace be upon him) order that it (Zakah al-Fitr) be given before people go to make the Salah (al-’Eid). And Ibn Àbbas reported that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said, “Whoever gives it before the Salah will have it accepted as Zakah, while he who gives it after the Salah (will not, for it will only be considered as) ordinary charity. Therefore, one who forgets to pay this Zakah al-Fitr on time should do so as soon as possible even though it will not be counted as Zakah al-Fitr. Source: www.fastramadan.com

DATES (2)

It has been proved by the nutritionists that effective fasting is based on Abduldaem Al-Kaheel 1. Water & Dates It has been proved by the nutritionists that effective fasting is based on water and simple sugars of natural sources like the ones available in dates which are considered the best natural sugars. Studies had given proof that the person who ultimately nourishes himself on dates and water for 20 to 30 days will make his body getting rid of the most of the accumulating toxins and the body will restore his vitality much better than before. The Prophet Mohammed (peace be upon him) confirmed this rule and stated that whoever wants to break his fast do start with dates as it is blessed, if he doesn’t have any, have water as it is purification.

2. Dates for Dieting The variable and large content of nutrients in dates make it a suitable food to resist hunger. knowing that the main causative factor of obesity is the continuous sensation of hunger and the large appetite which results in consumption of large amounts of fats and sugars in food, will lead us to the conclusion that the remedy is by eating pieces of dates when feeling hungry as it increases the feeling of satiety , provides the body with needed sugars, regulates the intestinal movement and most importantly it will lower the consumption of

food. Using the date as a remedy for obesity, as confirmed by the scientists, is not new in Islam as the prophet Mohammed (peace be upon him) 1400 years ago, informed that when the date is present at home, the people of the home will never experience hunger. In summary, we can say that eating pieces of dates daily will result in eliminating extra weight by reducing hunger sensation.

3. Dates and Delivery Scientists says that the womb, which is a relatively large muscle, is in urgent need for natural sugar as a fuel during labor and delivery. Date is a laxative food, so it is necessary for the pregnant woman to eat dates before delivery in order to help colon and intestine in the elimination process and to activate the womb muscle and regulate its movement which aids in easing delivery. This is considered one of the miracles which Allah has stated in Quran in his speech to Maryam: “ And shake the trunk of the palm-tree toward thee, thou wilt cause ripe dates to fall upon thee. (25: Maryam”

Ramadan:

Reformation not starvation The month of Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar (known as the Hijri Calender). Fasting from dawn to dusk during Ramadan is one of the pillars of Islam and is an obligation upon all adult Muslims, men and women. Exempt from fasting are children, those who are travelling, someone whom fasting exhausts because of advanced age or having an illness which is unlikely to recover, those who are ill, a breastfeeding mother or a pregnant woman who apprehends harm to herself or her child. Fasting includes eating and drinking, and any sexual relationship from dawn to dusk. In a world that values the satisfaction of pleasures, and concentrates on the external and outward, fasting seems harsh and cruel, for it deprives an individual the freedom to be ‘free’ and ‘independent.’ A believing person, however, witnesses an unmeasurable sense of spiritual elevation, and a feeling of control over his or her self that is liberating. Ramadan is highly regarded by Muslims for a number of reasons, most importantly because it is the month during which the Qur’an was revealed to Prophet Muhammad: “The month of Ramadan is that in which the Qur’an was revealed” (Q 2: 185). The centrality of Ramadan revolves around the revelation of the Qur’an, which has been described as guidance for humanity and the Criterion that distinguishes right from wrong (Q 2: 185). It is for this reason that the Qur’an is read in its entirety from memory in Mosques throughout the world (one of many methods of preserving the originality of the Qur’an), and by individuals both men and women as an act of worship seeking nearness to God Al-Mighty. The Qur’an is acknowledged by Muslims as a divine book of guidance, a moral compass that offers a grand narrative of the purpose of life. Therefore, the Qur’an is read throughout the month of Ramadan seeking its blessings and rewards, but more importantly to contemplate on its explicit and implicit meanings in order to reform the self from its

Otherwise, a departure from this essential tradition would sink the community into the various “ism’s” that are at the centre of all Islamic criticism.

Professor Mohamad Abdalla bestial and evil attributes. The inducement to contemplate upon the eternal message of the Qur’an is an often repeated theme in the Qur’an. For example, ‘(This is) a Scripture that We have revealed unto thee, full of blessing, that they may ponder its revelations, and that people of understanding may reflect (38:29). The month of Ramadan in intended to provoke a deeper understanding of the Qur’an that can lead to reformation of the self. The absence of proper contemplation and understanding of the Qur’an leads to varies forms of unwarranted practices (backbiting, slander, murder and so forth). The month of Ramadan should engender in the Muslim community the need to revive the traditional Islamic method of teaching the Qur’an that allowed for critical thinking, as was the practice in classical institutes of learning. Furthermore, at the heart of Ramadan, and indeed everything Islamic, is the attainment of taqwa -God consciousness’, as is stated in the Qur’an: ‘Fasting has been prescribed upon you so that you may attain taqwa (2:183). Taqwa can also be described as the outcome of reformation or purification of the self, a continuous process that is heighted during the blessed month of Ramadan. Essentially, therefore, Ramadan is concerned with the purification of the self which is at the core of the Islamic tradition, which aims to save one from one’s hawa-caprice. At the heart of any reform that is deemed Islamic is to assist the individual, and the community, to move away from caprice to obedience to God.

Al-Busti (d. 973-4) summed this up in his couplet when he famously declared: ‘O Slave of the body! How you toil to serve it! Where there’s nothing but loss, you seek to profit. Turn to the nafs (soul), which you need to perfect: You are a human, not by the body, but by the soul.’ While Islam demands of its followers the observance of external practices, the exoteric, it is the ‘inner dimension that one must turn to in order to see, utter and know the One’. This dimension of inwardness is the domain par excellence of Islamic spirituality, and in fact the Spirit (alRuh) is defined with this dimension, which is at once beyond and within the macrocosm and the microcosm.’ Therefore, when speaking about Islamic spirituality we are speaking about the Islamic tradition in its most inward and universal aspect. A failure to correct the inward leads to superficial following, and the outcome is disastrous. This was summed up beautifully by Syyed Hossein Nasr who declared: ‘the heart of Islam is also the Islam of the heart, which is that spiritual virtue or ihsan’. Once the heart is aligned with the Divine the emanating ethics will be consistent with the Divine command regardless of uncertainty. Ramadan, therefore, is not limited to abstaining from eating and drinking but also from lying, backbiting, slandering, cheating, and the commitment of any other immoral act or speech. It is for this reason that Prophet Muhammad stated: “Whoever does not abandon false speech and acting falsely, then God has no need of his abandoning food and drink.” (Sahih al-Bukhari ). Al-Muhallab makes the following observation about this hadith [Ibn Battal, Commentary on Sahih alBukhari (4/23)]: “This shows that fasting entails refraining from obscene and false speech just like

it entails refraining from food and drink. A person who engages in false or obscene speech detracts from the value of his fast; He exposes himself to his Lord’s displeasure and to the possibility of his fast not being accepted.” Perhaps the crisis among the lives of many contemporary Muslims is abandoning such standards of ethics due to a lack of spirituality. While much attention is channelled toward political and other reforms, little attention is paid to spirituality and ethics. Most contemporary reform movements seek to change the surrounding context, neglecting

meanwhile the individual. The Qur’an, however, emphasises that real reform must come from within. We would have benefited from Ramadan if our lives change in such a way that lead to upholding the permissible and abstaining from the prohibited, abandoning hatred, enmity, malice, racism, prejudice, lying and loving for others what we love for ourselves, and being truly grateful and appreciative of others. Only then can we say that we have truly benefited from Ramadan.

Waleed wins gold, stuns with speech on diversity Mohammad Safar Journalist and host of Channel 10’s The Project Waleed Aly picked up the prestigious Gold Logie at this year’s TV Week Logie awards. Selected from a pool of six nominees – including SBS’s Lee Lin Chin, actress Essie Davis, The Block’s Scott Cam, Family Feud host Grant Denyer, and Aly’s co-host on The Project Carrie Bickmore – Aly took the award for being Best Personality on Australian Television. Aly accepted the award with a moving speech about diversity in the entertainment industry

in Australia. “Each nominee brilliantly distils some separate piece of Australia and I think it’s an amazing thing that that can be assembled on this night in this way,” Aly said. Aly then spoke of an interaction he had with a man prior to the beginning of the awards show. “Not so long ago actually … someone who is in this room, and I’m not going to use the name they use in the industry, came up to me, introduced themselves and said to me, ‘I really hope you win. My name is Mustafa. But I can’t use that name because I won’t get a job’.” Aly said. “It matters to people like that,

that I’m here… I’m incredibly humbled that you would even think to invest in me that way, and I’m also incredibly saddened by it, because the truth is you deserve more numerous and more worthy avatars than that.” Aly concluded his speech with a positive outlook on the future of entertainment in Australia. “If tonight means anything, it’s that the Australian public, our audience, as far as they’re concerned, there is absolutely no reason why that can’t change.” Aly also took home the Silver Logie for Best Presenter, with his show The Project also securing a win for Best News or Current Affair Program.

Secrets of fasting (1)

Abduldaem Al-Kaheel -Dear beloved, fasting is not just a worship …it is a treatment and healing for many diseases…it is a renewal method for our body cells and the activityof the entire body…as a result it is to renew our entire life and when we realize benefits offasting we really touch its sweetness, Allah Almighty says:(O you who believe! Observing As-Saum (the fasting) is prescribed for you as it was prescribed for those before you, that you may become Al-Muttaqun) {Sûrat Al-Baqarah-The Cow-verse 183 }. - The scientists confirm that the best cure for the accumulation of poisons in the body is the fasting because it helps in cleaning the cells from these poisons ,prophet Mohamed peace be upon him says :” fasting is a protection” {narrated by Muslim}. Indeed it is a protection from many diseases by increasing the activity of our cells. - Physicians assure that fasting activates our immune system …as the resistance of the body increases against all diseases. The immune system is a group of soldiers who guards the body from many viruses and harmful bacteria. Hence fasting is an effective weapon to help the body to defend itself. - A medical fact: fasting is a main reason behind the long life!!!! Many non-

Muslims had authored many books about the different benefits of fasting and they concluded that frequent fasting people lives longer than those who don’t fast!! Glory to Allah Almighty who prescribed the fasting for us as He Almighty says: (O you who believe! Observing As-Saum (the fasting) is prescribed for you as it was prescribed for those before you, that you may become Al-Muttaqun){Sûrat AlBaqarah-The Cow-verse 183 }. - Many scientific studies confirm that the best food for fasting people is “dates” with water because it contains all needed vitamins, sugars and minerals, hence the prophet says in the prophetic hadith ”when you break your fasting eat dates and if you don’t have dates drink water”{narrated by Abu- Dawood}. - Recent studies confirm that the ideal time to stop the smoking habit is the holy month of Ramadan!! Because fasting cleans the cells from the poisons of the tobacco , so Ramadan helps smokers to give up smoking as long as they sincerely supplicates Allah Almighty to support them to do that …it is amazing to know that non- Muslims are using fasting to cure smokers from smoking, what about us as Muslims?

RAMADAN:

A Month Of Generosity (2) By Aisha Stacey Throughout Ramadan Muslims look to the examples of Prophet Muhammad and his companions and contemplate the true meaning of generosity. It does not mean to give away something that you no longer require. It means to give of those things that you love and desire or in many cases even need. Aisha (the wife of the Prophet) said: “A lady, along with her two daughters came to me asking for some alms, but she found nothing with me except one date which I gave to her and she divided it between her two daughters.” (Al-Bukhari, 5995) The men and women around Prophet Muhammad understood the true value of generosity. They recognized that kind and generous acts are an investment in the future. Our good deeds, thoughtful words, and acts of random kindness will be rewarded abundantly in the hereafter. Whatever money we spend for the sake of pleasing God will be returned to us many times over. Whatever possessions we give freely, will be replaced, if not in this life, in the paradise of the hereafter. While generosity is a rewardable act at any time of the year, during Ramadan our good deeds and acts of kindness and generosity will be rewarded many times over. It is a month of mercy, when God allows us to reap rewards that far outweigh any sins we may have accumulated throughout the year. Ramadan is a month filled with reminders of God’s generosity, kindness, and forgiveness. God forgives the faults and sins of humankind even though they may be as numerous as the foam on the sea, and His forgiveness and mercy are not restricted to Ramadan. However, this month, the month that contains a night better than 1000 months is

sign of God’s love for humankind. Ramadan is a chance to set aside 30 days for special devotion and generosity. The fasting of Ramadan reminds the believers that the world is filled with people who are unable to find enough food or drink for their needs. Ramadan is a chance for the believers to be generous with their time, their wealth, and their possessions. Generosity and random acts of kindness truly make the heart happy. Any one, who has given from their wealth or possessions with a clear pure heart, wanting only to please God, knows just how joyful these acts can be. However, what of those who have not even one dollar to spare? God’s generosity knows no bounds therefore even in the direst circumstances human beings are able to be generous. Prophet Muhammad was once asked: “If someone has nothing to give, what will he do?” He said: “He should work with his hands and benefit himself and also give in charity (from what he earns).” He was further asked: “If he cannot find even that?” He replied: “He should help the needy who appeal for help.” Then he was asked: “If he cannot do that?” He replied: “Then he should perform good deeds and keep away from evil deeds and this will be regarded as charitable deeds.” (Al-Bukhari, 1445) Ramadan is known as the month of fasting, Ramadan is a gift from God, a manifestation of His mercy and reminder of human kind’s inherent goodness. Ramadan is the month of charity and generosity.

Muslim votes expected to determine federal election result On July 2, Muslim voters will significantly influence the outcome of the election and determine who wins government. With 11 marginal seats nationwide that have a sizeable Muslim population out of the 76 needed to win government, both major parties are expected to scramble for Muslim votes. Unlike previous recent elections, the Australian public will be asked to elect 226 members into the Australian Parliament, 150 of those into

the House of Representatives and 76 into the Senate. To form government, 76 lower house seats must be won out of the 150. While Muslims have historically voted for the Labor Party, there has been a significant shift as more Muslims have moved from blue-collar workers into small and mid-size enterprise owners. A youthful Muslim population is also asking the question of what recent governments have delivered for the Muslim community and voting patterns have changed

Note: The seats of Blaxland and Watson have Muslim Influence Factors over 2.0 but are too safe for Muslims to change the sitting member there at this election. Western Sydney’s Muslim community will have the greatest opportunity to shape who their representative will be. With commentators pointing out this region as being where the election will be won or lost, it would be unwise for political leaders to ignore the Muslim vote there. In Victoria, the seat of Bruce is being contested

by a new Labor candidate who has supported Muslim events but who has a tough fight to retain the seat for his party. The seat of Wills in Victoria with over 14,000 Muslims while not on the marginal seat list will also be tightly contested with the local Greens Party Mayor of Moreland expected to poll strongly against a new Labor candidate.

In voting, Muslims are advised to ask their local candidates for their record and commitments on the following topics: a. support for new mosque developments in light of capacity constraints b. support for small business initiatives for young, innovative Muslims c. support for improved public education in their neighbourhoods (some Muslim neighbourhoods have the poorest NAPLAN results in the country) d. opposition to new legislation that limits the civil liberties of individuals e. policy on further migration and refugee intake levels f. support for legislation to combat violent xenophobia against the Muslim community With a hung parliament predicted by many pollsters, the Muslim vote will matter more than ever before in shaping the future of Australia.

Fasting the Month of Ramadan The fourth pillar of Islam is fasting. Allah prescribes daily fasting for all able, adult Muslims during the whole of the month of Ramadan, the ninth month of the lunar calendar, beginning with the sighting of the new moon. Exempted from the fast are the very old and the insane. On the physical side, fasting is from first light of dawn until sundown, abstaining from food, drink, and sexual relations. On the moral, behavioral side, one must abstain from lying, malicious gossip, quarrelling and trivial nonsense. Those who are sick, elderly, or on a journey, and women who are menstruating, pregnant, or nursing are permitted to break the fast, but must make up an equal number of days later in the year. If physically unable to do so, they must feed a needy person for each day missed. Children begin to fast (and to observe the prayers) from puberty, although many start earlier.

In addition to the fast proper, one is encouraged to read the entire Quran. In addition, special prayers, called Tarawih, are held in the mosque every night of the month, during which a whole section of the Quran (Juz’) is recited, so that by the end of the month the entire Quran has been completed. These are done in remembrance of the fact that the revelation of the Quran to Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was begun during Ramadan. During the last ten days though the exact day is never known and may not even be the same every year - occurs the Night of Power (Laylat al-Qadr). To spend that night in worship is equivalent to a thousand months of worship, i.e. Allah’s reward for it is very great. On the first day of the following month, after another new moon has been sighted, a special celebration is made, called ‘Id al-Fitr. A quantity of staple food is donated to the poor (Zakat alFitr), everyone has bathed and

put on their best, preferably new, clothes, and communal prayers are held in the early morning, followed by feasting and visiting relatives and friends. There are other fast days throughout the year. Muslims are encouraged to fast six days in Shawwal, the month following Ramadan, Mondays and Thursdays, and the ninth and tenth, or tenth and eleventh of Muharram, the first month of the year. The tenth day, called Ashurah, is also a fast day for the Jews (Yom Kippur), and Allah commanded the Muslims to fast two days to distinguish themselves from the People of the Book. While fasting per se is encouraged, constant fasting, as well as monasticism, celibacy, and otherwise retreating from the real world, are condemned in Islam. Fasting on the two festival days, ‘Id al-Fitr and ‘Id al-Adha, the feast of the Hajj, is strictly forbidden. Source: www.fastramadan.com

Dates contain the most significant group of vitamins, minerals and simple sugars Abduldaem Al-Kaheel 1. The best food to break fast with Dates contain the most significant group of vitamins, minerals and simple sugars that can be easily absorbed. It also limit the feeling of hunger and improve the feeling of satiety. This is what the nutritionists advice us to do nowadays and prophet Mohammed (peace be upon him) ordered Muslims to have dates as the first food to break his fast with as it is a blessed food.

2. Dates for managing overweight Studies had proved that regular eating of dates on daily basis helps the brain to regulate hormones excretion and make the person feels satisfied and

accordingly decreases the amount of food he eats. Therefore, the date is used to manage overweight and prevent excessive weight gain. The scientists considered dates as one of the best foods to treat obesity.

3. Dates as a remedy to many diseases Scientists had confirmed that date is an ideal remedy for more than hundred diseases, among these diseases is the intestinal disorders, dates help the intestine to function effectively The richness of date in vitamins, minerals and electrolytes helps the brain in its functions and fills the shortage of these minerals and vitamins in the body which leads to the psychological stability, this means that eating pieces of dates regularly every day will positively affect the emotional or psychological situation making it more stable. Here we say all praises to Allah who has granted us this miracle food as he stated in the Holy Quran: And We have placed therein gardens of the date-palm and grapes, and We have caused springs of water to gush forth therein, (34) That they may eat of the fruit thereof, and their hands made it not. Will they not, then, give thanks? (35) (yaseen).

RAMADAN:

A Month Of Generosity (1) By Aisha Stacey -One of the qualities of human nature embedded in Islam is generosity. The need to be generous towards family, friends, neighbors, strangers and even enemies, is mentioned repeatedly throughout the Quran and the authentic traditions of Prophet Muhammad. There is no better time to talk about generosity than in the Islamic month of Ramadan. Well known as a month of fasting, those new to Islam have discovered that Ramadan is also a month of charity and kindness. The fasting days and prayer-filled nights soften hearts and create ripples of compassion and generosity. This month of devotion always arrives quickly, settles softly, and God’s blessings, mercy, and forgiveness descends. Ramadan’s blessings have welled into a river of generosity. “The Prophet was the most generous amongst the people, and he used to be more so in the month of Ramadan when (angel) Gabriel visited him, and Gabriel used to meet him on every night of Ramadan till the end of the month. The Prophet used to recite the Qur’an to Gabriel, and when Gabriel met him, he used to be more generous than a fast wind (which causes rain and welfare).” (Al-Bukhari, 1902) Throughout the 29/30 days of fasting, Muslims give generously. They reach into their pockets

and wallets to give to charities, and those in need, both openly, and secretly. However, charity in Islam is not only giving money. It is any act of kindness or generosity given with an open heart and a desire to please God. Charity is something as simple as a smile or as grand a gesture as building a school or a hospital; charity is also every kind or generous act in between. Muslims are encouraged to be generous at all times, however Ramadan serves as a reminder. When the worries of the world and the trials of life are overwhelming, frail human beings tend to forget that God has provided blessings too numerous to count. Ramadan reminds us that these blessings are not meant to be clutched to the chest or hoarded away. God expects us to be generous and spend out of what He has provided. God is Al Kareem, the most generous. Everything originates from Him and everything will eventually return to Him, it therefore makes sense to consider our possessions and wealth trusts. We are obligated to preserve, protect, and ultimately share whatever we have been provided with. {“Say: “Truly, my Lord enlarges the provision for whom He wills of His slaves, and also restricts it) for him, and whatsoever you spend of anything (in God’s Cause), He will replace it. And He is the Best of providers.} (34:39)

Dr. Bilal Philips

Fasting in Cultural Islam In much of the Muslim world today fasting has been reduced to a mere ritual, and the month of Ramadan has become a time of celebration and festivities instead of religious contemplation and abstinence. Ramadan nights are, for many, nights of partying and enjoyment which continue until the dawn in some countries. There, the night becomes the day and the day becomes the night. In many places, the light meal which is supposed to be taken prior the dawn becomes a major three-course meal. For this reason, very few experience real hunger during the fast. And at the time of breaking the fast, another three-course meal is taken, followed by a sampling of all kinds of sweets imaginable. As a result, many Muslims complain about gaining weight during Ramadan and doctors regularly warn people about the medical consequences of overeating.

The Name Ramadan The word Ramadan comes from the noun Ramad, which refers to “the reflected heat of stones resulting from the intense heat of the sun.” When the Arabs changed the names of the months from their ancient names, they renamed them according to the seasons in which they happened to fall. The ninth month, which used to be called Natiq, fell during the summer, the time of extreme heat, which is why it was named Ramadan. [15]

Significance of Ramadan Naturally, the fact that Ramadan was in the summer has no relation to why this month was chosen by Allah as the month for fasting. Since Muslims follow the lunar calendar, the month of Ramadan will occur in all the seasons at least twice in each person’s lifetime. God clearly stated the reason for choosing this month in the Quran. He said: “Ramadan is the month in which the Quran was revealed as guidance and clarification to humankind, and a distinction between right and wrong. So, whoever from among you witnesses the month should fast it.” (2: 185) The significance of Ramadan lies in the fact that the revelation of the Quran began in that month. For this reason, Ramadan is often called the month of the Quran and Muslims try to spend much of their waking hours reading from the Holy Book throughout the month.

The ICV City Mosque offers daily complimentary Iftar’s every night for 30 consecutive nights for all, in addition to Taraweeh prayers which commence at 7.30pm.

The ICV wishes Victorian Muslims a blessed and holy Ramadan. May Allah (The Almighty) bestow his mercy upon us all and accept all of our prayers.

The ICV send their warmest Ramadan greetings to all Victorian Muslims and the entire Muslim community all over Australia.

The Easiest part of fasting is leaving food and drink Dr Mahmoud Eid

Assistant Principal & Head of Secondary Islamic College of Melbourne (ICOM) It is well known that Ramadan has a great place in our hearts, as Allah has said about this blessed month: “Shahr Ramadan that the Quran has been revealed in has guidance to people and signs of guidance and differentiates” (Baqara:185). It is also well known that fasting has many benefits that is hard to mention all. Fasting disciplines the hearts and purifies them, and it is supposed to protect from the bad manners that ruin

the hearts. Fasting also teaches us patience and control over our desires. So, what a blessed month it is that reminds us of people who have it hard in this life, poor, weak, widows and orphans. What a nice feeling to have mercy on the poor and pity them with what Allah has blessed us with, because the people with mercy on this earth will be given mercy by who is in the heavens. And let’s remember what Allah has said: “And those who have in their money a calculated right, for the needy and the poor”.

And what an awesome feeling, when all the Muslim Ummah unite to fast and make Duaa to Allah for his mercy and forgiveness regardless of their different colours, genders, races, backgrounds, cultures and languages. Everyone will be saying the same words facing the king of kings “Oh Allah you are a forgiver that loves forgiveness, so forgive us oh Allah”. And for the reward to be valid for us for fasting, we need to realise that the easiest part of fasting is leaving food and drink. So if Allah has made

May this Ramadan bring you and your family peace and happiness.

Best Wishes,

Jing

May your lives be rekindled with light and love all year long.

unlawful for us eating and drinking in the days of Ramadan while it was permitted originally, then it would be more unlawful committing things that are originally unlawful: - It’s strange when someone fasts the whole month but break his/ her fast on unlawful things, and demolish his/her modesty by watching inappropriate movies or pornography. - It’s also strange when someone fasts Ramadan but his mouth is always swearing, backbiting, lying and lie-witnessing to satisfy people. It was narrated that the prophet pbuh said “whoever doesn’t leave saying false things and working by that, Allah doesn’t need him/her to stop eating and drinking”. It was also narrated that he said “There is a person fasting the only thing he/ she will get out of their fasting is their hunger and thirst, and a person praying at night the only thing he/she will get out of their prayer is staying up night ”. - It’s also strange when someone fasts the month but always conspire against the servants of Allah to put them in trouble especially if he/she was their manager. - It’s also strange when someone fasts the month but then belittles others and their work because of jealousy and grudges. - It’s also strange when someone fasts the month but then prevent people their food and sustenance. - It’s also strange when someone fasts the month but then fabricates mistakes and stick them to others

oppressively. - It’s also strange when someone fasts the month but then steal other people’s ideas and relate them to him/herself oppressively. - It’s also strange when someone fasts the month but always lie, cheat, betray and misguide others. - It’s also strange when someone fasts the month but eardrops and allows him/herself to take other people’s belongings with weak excuses. - It’s also strange when someone fasts the month but gets help from evil people against the people working with him/her or under him/ her in work without putting any care to their families and lives. - It’s also strange when someone fasts the month but insight hatred and grudges between people for purposes of retaining power and authority. It is strange that all those people who fast from the permitted food and drink but then commit all these sins and unlawful matters. It is time that we realise that the easiest part of fasting is leaving food and drink, and that to gain the reward of fasting we need to purify our hearts and our souls. It was narrated by the past righteous that they were asking Allah 6 months before Ramadan to make them reach Ramadan, and six months after to make their Ramadan accepted. So how are we compared to them? Oh Allah you are a forgiver who loves forgiveness, so forgive us oh Allah.

Wisdom Behind Fasting

The Purpose of Fasting

Firstly: we must note that one of the names of Allah is al-Hakim (the Most Wise). The word Hakim is derived from the same root as hukm (ruling) and hikmah (wisdom). Allah alone is the One Who issues rulings, and His rulings are the most wise and perfect. Secondly: Allah does not prescribe any ruling but there is great wisdom behind it, which we may understand, or our minds may not be guided to understand it. We may know some of it but a great deal is hidden from us. Thirdly: Allah has mentioned the reason and wisdom behind His enjoining of fasting upon us, as He says (interpretation of the meaning): O you who believe! Observing As-Sawm (the fasting) is prescribed for you as it was prescribed for those before you, that you may become Al-Muttaqun (the pious) [Noble Quran 2:183] Fasting is a means of attaining taqwa (piety, being conscious of Allah), and taqwa means doing that which Allah has enjoined and avoiding that which He has forbidden. Fasting is one of the greatest means of helping a person to fulfill the commands of Islam. The scholars have mentioned some of the reasons why fasting is prescribed, all of which are characteristics of taqwa, but there is nothing wrong with quoting them here, to draw the attention of fasting people to them and make them keen to attain them.

It is my pleasure to send greetings to communities across Sydney and New South Wales as you begin the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. This special time allows people to reflect on their faith by practising fasting, abstinence and acts of charity and I have a deep respect and appreciation for everyone embarking on this month-long journey. During the month, many of you will share Iftar meals with people of other religions, promoting understanding, mutual respect and social harmony. I will host an Iftar dinner of my own and I hope to go to others over the coming weeks. The NSW Government is proud of the many contributions made to our economic, cultural and sporting sectors by Australian Muslims. My deep respect and appreciation is there for everyone embarking on this monthlong journey. I wish everyone a peaceful and blessed Ramadan.

RAMADAN ( 2 ) How can nonMuslim co-workers and friends help someone who is fasting? A: Employers, co-workers and teachers can help by understanding the significance of Ramadan and by showing a willingness to make minor allowances for its physical demands. Special consideration can be given to such things as requests for vacation time, the need for flexible early morning or evening work schedules and lighter homework assignments.

Try to avoid the following for your Muslim colleagues:

of water and dates. Main meal to follow after dusk prayers. Reading the entire Qur’an during Ramadan Acts of charity Offering additional prayers early morning and at night in the home or in a congregation at the mosque Social visits are encouraged, especially visiting the sick and elderly.

I am travelling (to and from) or working in a Muslim Country – what should I know?

What are some of the traditional practices of Ramadan?

You should note the following things: Holiday traffic jams (to Muslim countries) begin a week before the end of Ramadan and three days following Eid. Traffic jams are common before Iftar – beware of being grid-locked. Congestion occurs on flights to Saudi Arabia especially during the 2nd half of Ramadan – people visiting Mecca. Working hours in some countries may be reduced, and finish earlier during Ramadan – so plan accordingly. Restaurants may be booked out around Iftar – so plan ahead. Some food outlets may be closed during the day – however many shops/markets etc will be open to late – way past midnight – enjoy the festivities.

Breaking the daily fast with a drink

What is Eid-ul-Fitr

meetings which include lunch; meetings extending past 5pm; and departments parties (or social events) during Ramadan. It is also very important that Muslim workers and students be given time to attend Eid-ul-Fitr prayers at the end of Ramadan. Eid-ul-Fitr is the day of rejoicing for Muslims to mark the end of the fasting month. It is as important to Muslims as Christmas and Yom Kippur are to Christians and Jews. If invited to share in Iftar (or the breaking of the fast), try to make it…it will be fun!

This is the feast marking the end of Ramadan. Muslims are obliged to pay a prescribed amount of money to assist the poor and disadvantaged (called Zakat-ul-Fitr). Muslims observe the following: Attend Eid prayers in the morning Visiting family, friends, neighbors, the sick, elderly Enjoying festive meals Modest gift-giving especially to children Ramadan Buzzwords Iftar: The traditional sundown meal that breaks the Ramadan fast observed by Muslims around the world this month. The event begins with a call to the maghreb (evening) prayers by a local imam, followed by a prayer. Ramadan Mubarak: Arabic for “May your Ramadan be blessed.” Some may say “Ramadan Kareem.”

Sahoor: The meal one eats in the early hours of the morning before starting one’s fast.

Eid Mubarak: A greeting

pronounced (eed- moobar- ak), meaning “May you have a blessed Eid”

Among the reasons behind fasting (1)

* Fasting is a means that makes us appreciate and give thanks for pleasures. For fasting means giving up eating, drinking and intercourse, which are among the greatest pleasures. By giving them up for a short time, we begin to appreciate their value. Because the blessings of Allah are not recognized, but when you abstain from them, you begin to recognize them, so this motivates you to be grateful for them. * Fasting is a means of giving up haram things, because if a person can give up halal things in order to please Allah and for fear of His painful torment, then he will be more likely to refrain from haram things. So fasting is a means of avoiding the things that Allah has forbidden. * Fasting enables us to control our desires, because when a person is full his desires grow, but if he is hungry then his desire becomes weak. Hence the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: O young men! Whoever among you can afford to get married, let him do so, for it is more effective in lowering the gaze and protecting one’s chastity. Whoever cannot do that, let him fast, for it will be a shield for him. * Fasting makes us feel compassion and empathy towards the poor, because when the fasting person tastes the pain of hunger for a while, he remembers those who are in this situation all the time, so he will hasten to do acts of kindness to them and show compassion towards them. So fasting is a means of feeling empathy with the poor. * Fasting humiliates and weakens the Shaytan; it weakens the effects of his whispers (waswaas) on a person and reduces his sins. That is because the Shaytan “flows through the son of Adam like blood as the Prophet (Peace be upon him) said, but fasting narrows the passages through which the Shaytan flows, so his influence grows less. www.fastramadan.com

Chief Commissioner Graham Ashton AM Ramadan Mubarak. Salaam wa alaikum – peace be upon you. On behalf of Victoria Police I would like to extend my warmest wishes for a blessed and joyous Ramadan. Ramadan is a time of reflection and peace and it is also a wonderful opportunity for police to break fast and strengthen our relationship with the Islamic community at the many Iftar dinners and Eid events that we are invited to participate in. I am approaching on my first year as Chief Commissioner in which the first official event I hosted was the Victoria Police Iftar dinner in 2015. I had the pleasure of sharing a meal with leaders from the Islamic community and our own Police Officers, Public Servants and Protective Service Officers of Muslim faith. I am looking forward to hosting this year’s Victoria Police Iftar Dinner, which proudly will be our 12th such event. Victoria Police sees our relationship with the Islamic community and all our faith communities as one of mutual trust and respect. We value all our faith communities and are committed to ensuring people feel safe and secure in the community and in practicing their faith, pursuing their values, beliefs and interests. I would like to thank and acknowledge the contribution that the Islamic community and its leadership makes in creating strong relationships with Victoria Police and the wider Victorian community. Victoria Police extends many happy Ramadans in the future, InshAllah.

RAMADAN An Introduction

Ramadan, the ninth month in the Muslim calendar, is a special time for the Muslim community. As a most blessed month, it is a time for reflection, prayer and renewal of faith. Muslims worldwide fast from dawn to sunset, abstaining totally from food, drink, smoking and other sensual pleasures to complete one of the five pillars of Islam and to achieve greater selfdiscipline, self-purification, and compassion for those less fortunate.

What is Ramadan?

Ramadan is the fourth pillar of Islam, which every Muslim must endeavor to observe or fulfill. The others pillars are: * Shahadah – declaration of faith; * Salat – the five daily prayes; * Zakat – Purification of wealth by the charitable donation of 2.5% of annual savings; * Hajj – Pilgrimage to Mecca, Saudi Arabia, obligatory once in a lifetime for those who are physically and financially able.

How did the fast during Ramadan become obligatory for Muslims? The revelations from God to Prophet Muhammad that would eventually be compiled as the Qur’an began during Ramadan in the year 610 A.D., but the fast of Ramadan did not become a religious obligation for Muslims until the year 624 A.D. The

obligation to fast is explained in the second chapter of the Qur’an: “O ye who believe! Fasting is prescribed to you as it was prescribed to those before you, that ye may (learn) selfrestraint...Ramadan is the (month) in which was sent down the Qur’an, as a guide to mankind, also clear (Signs) for guidance and judgment (between right and wrong). So every one of you who is present (at his home) during that month should spend it in fasting...” (2: 183 & 185)

Q: Why does Ramadan begin on a different day each year? A: Because Ramadan is a lunar month, it begins about eleven days earlier each year. Throughout a Muslim’s lifetime, Ramadan will fall both during winter months, when the days are short, and summer months, when the days are long and the fast is more challenging. In this way, the fast is evenly distributed between Muslims living in the northern and southern hemispheres. In Australia, the Australian National Imams Council is the peak religious body which decides the start and end of Ramadan for Australian Muslims.

What do Muslims believe they gain from fasting? Compassion – When one does not eat or drink at all during the day, you feel in your body what the poor and hungry go through.Thus social responsibility is introduced into one’s conscience through religious acts. Renewed focus on spirituality –During Ramadan, Muslims are encouraged to engage their time in reading the Qur’an and offering extra prayers at night. Character building – In the state of fasting, anti social habits are forbidden. E.g. backbiting, indulging in foul speech, telling of lies, losing

110

one’s temper, etc. Perhaps the greatest practical benefit is the annual lesson in self-restraint, patience and discipline that can carry forward to other aspects of a Muslim’s life such as work and education. Abstention from food is only one step to make a man realise that if he can, in obedience to Divine injunctions, abstain from that which is otherwise lawful, how more necessary it is that he should abstain from that which is evil and temptation. Social interaction Muslims are encouraged to share their food with family, friends and neighbors during the time they break their fast.

Is not eating and drinking all day for 15 hours or more during summer harmful to the body? According to health studies, fasting is practically the most powerful of all remedial measures. It enables one to get rid of toxins, which may have accumulated within the body; it purifies the blood stream and renovates the entire system. While purifying and cleansing the body, fasting, at the same time, adds to the actual vital strength of the body, by removing toxic material which can weaken the nerves of the body and the cells of the various organs. Does a person’ s strength reduce due to not eating or drinking in the day? A: Missing a few meals is not the same as starvation. In the study of the body and its needs and of foods and their purpose, scientists have since long proved that food energy is not immediately available, that some of this is stored in and upon the body as and when needed at a later time.

PRIME MINISTER

MESSAGE FROM THE PRIME MINISTER

RAMADAN 2016 For Australian Muslims, Ramadan is a holy month as well as a time of both personal reflection and renewal. I respect your commitment to faith and encourage you as you fast, and engage in self-reflection and acts of service. At this time I also hope that you will choose to enjoy Iftar, not only with family and friends, but with neighbours unfamiliar with Islamic traditions. The practice of sharing meals establishes links across cultural communities and builds bonds of understanding. In Australia, we respect each other’s right to freedom of speech, thought and religion. That right, and principles of democracy and law, bind us together into what I believe to be the most successful multicultural society in the world. In that spirit, I wish you Ramadan Mubarak.

The Hon Malcolm Turnbull MP Prime Minister of Australia

Statement on Current

Australian Iraqi Muslim Society (AIMS)

Fallujah crisis

Again and again the human catastrophe in Iraq never ends. We were hopeful as many other peace loving people around the world that the suffering and hardship of Falluja people and many other cities and townships will come to end when they will be freed and be able to live in peace and away from the starvation, death and insecurity on the hand of ISIL. However the news has come up with shocking scenes of mass bombing, militia watching to commit yet another massacres similar to the one committed in Tikrit, Diyala and whenever they had the chance to implement their cruel, violent and anti-human ideology of revenge. What makes it even more worrying that these atrocities are happening in the presence of what supposed to be the Iraqi army and the air surveillance of allied air force. Australian Iraqi Muslims Society (AIMS) as social and cultural society is deeply

concerned that the horrible crimes will repeat itself on the hand of these dirty militia and the innocent citizen will be quote between the cruel crimes of the militia and the terror of

ISIL for no justification except that they live in the area of conflict. We call on all the parties starting with the Iraqi government to be up to it’s

commitment towards all the citizens of Iraq, stop the militia from their sadistic inhuman behavior and do all in it’s capacity to fulfil the requirements for the families

which can make their way to the area under government’s control, handle them in civilized way away from mass punishment, out of law arrest and torture.

We condemn with the strongest words those statements, mass accusation made by some militia leaders, war lords of all the citizen of the war zone and calling for extinction of all of them. We also condemn the Iranian interference in the internal affairs of Iraq in biased and colonial intend which will certainly do nothing but worsening the sectarian division and be the best recipe for further violence. As Australian of Iraqi background we call on Australian government to take these in consideration and do all in it’s capacity to stop the cruelty of sectarian militia. Australians are proud of the constructive, peace contributing role of Australia globally including Iraq, but we are equally concerned if our country and army fight the same battle with those militia, with well known history in crimes, sick ideology and all their links to other criminal and terrorist organizations. We also call on all the nongovernment organization to do their best in alleviating the calamities and the harsh living conditions of all displaced families and supply the basics of decent life.
