Sita Ismet

Director/ Operations Manager KAINUS TRAVEL In the Western Suburbs with business networks, industry bodies, local and state government agencies located nearby, just about ten kilometres from Melbourne’s CBD on the edge of Port Phillip Bay, Hobsons Bay enjoys a diverse local community with a population of over 90,000 that is expected to increase by more than 10,000 by 2025, with a mix of high profile national and international companies through to well established family-owned and home-based businesses.

The Breaking of the Fast for the Traveler and Pregnant and/or Breast-Feeding Woman It was narrated on the authority of Anas ibn Maalik, may Allah be pleased with him, that he said that the Messenger of Allah sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his mention ) said: “Indeed, Allah The Almighty has exempted the traveler (as was the case of Anas, may Allah be pleased with him, who was traveling in the incident related to this narration) from half the prayer, (i.e., to shorten the four-Rak’ah (unit) prayers to only two), and exempted the traveler, the pregnant woman and the suckling woman from fasting.’’ [Ibn Khuzaymah, Saheeh (Authentic)] Related benefits and rulings First: An illustration of the mercy of Allah The Almighty towards His slaves due to his removal of certain Sharee‘ah rulings from those who are unable to apply them, or who would be exposed to harm or difficulty by attempting to apply them.

Second: It is permissible for the traveler to break fasting and shorten his prayers as a concession from Allah The Almighty, and Allah loves that people apply His concessions just as he loves that they apply his commandments in general.

Third: Allah The Almighty has given the pregnant female the concession to break fasting in Ramadan as her fetus is nourished from her food, which means that harm or difficulty may befall her or her fetus due to fasting, and this is why Allah The Wise has made it permissible for her to break fasting.

Fourth: Allah The Almighty has given a concession to the suckling woman to

break fasting. The suckling woman needs food constantly to be able to breast-feed her child. Fasting may cause harm or difficulty to her or to her baby, and this is why it has been made permissible for her to break fasting.

Fifth: Also included (in this concession) is anyone who needs to break fasting in order to do urgent tasks such as extinguish a fire, resist an attacker, or rescue anything that cannot be rescued except by breaking the fast. In such cases, he may break his fast.

Sixth: If the pregnant and suckling woman break fasting fearing for themselves or for themselves and their babies, they will only be required to make up for the missed days of fasting, and there is no difference among scholars regarding this, for they are in the same position as the patient who fears for himself of his health, and so they carry the same ruling. However, if they break fasting fearing for their babies only, then the matter is disputed among scholars. The sounder opinion, and Allah knows better, is that they are required only to make up for the missed days of fasting, for they are in the same position as the patient, and also because the Prophet sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his mention ) deemed them as equal to the traveler in being exempted from fasting, and it is wellknown that the traveler is required only to make up for the missed days of fasting and that no feeding of others is due upon him, and the same is applicable to the pregnant and breastfeeding woman. islamweb.net

Halal Meat Industry Healthy In Australia

By: Mohammad Safar Halal Meat Industry Healthy In Australia The Halal Meat Industry in Australia is in tip top shape following Halal meat certification audits carried out this month.

The audits, which were carried out in various Supreme Islamic Council of Halal Meat in Australia (SICHMA) approved abattoirs were very thorough, ensuring that Australian suppliers of Halal meat were compliant with Islamic protocols regarding the blessing and slaughter of livestock.

While the Halal Meat industry in Australia has always been in good standing, these audits prove that it’s among the best.

Al-Taqwa College Northern Territory camp

“The highlight of the trip was seeing Uluru in the sunset and the campfires. That’s where we told riddles and jokes and shared hadeeths. My favourite experience was sleeping in the tents even though we heard the dingo’s at night and scared each other with them.”

Hannah Abou-Zeid

Al-Taqwa College This year the Al-Taqwa College Grade 6 students ventured out on a different kind of camp; one that gave them are real taste of the outback and allowed them to stand in awe in front of the natural wonders of our country’s outback.

Northern Territory is not a camp for the faint hearted, however it was a camp that our Grade 6 students delved into whole heartedly.

On May 11, a group of Grade 6 students set out on a nine day trip to the red centre. The journey included stopovers in Coober Pedy and an underground stay at the opal mines.

Accommodation in central Australia included camping at Uluru, Alice Springs and Kings Canyon.

The educational tour was designed by ATC to allow students to

gain more knowledge of Australia’s unique environment through experiencing some of our geographic wonders. Students also had loads of fun exploring the stunning natural landscapes and learning about Indigenous culture by examining stunning artwork created by the elders. They also experienced many proud moments including their outback achievement of setting up their own tents many times.

Over the days spent in NT, students visited many historical and iconic sites, one of which was Uluru, meaning the “Red Centre”. They watched the sun rise from behind Ayers Rock and were awed by its serenity. In the evenings students were able to enjoy roasting marshmallows over a campfire while sharing the highlights of their day and listening to engaging Islamic stories.

Students also visited the Uluru-Kata Tjuta Cultural Centre and Kings Canyon which helped them build many connections and understandings, while the visit to the Lilla Community Centre opened their eyes to interesting facts about indigenous life and culture.

There is no doubt that the life skills learnt, the values discussed, the Islamic stories shared, the connections made, the team bonding and leadership skills learnt and the friendships made will all be cherished for a life time.

“This camp taught me to always be brave and to appreciate what we have in this dunia.

My favourite part was when we went to Ayers Rock and slept in the tents. Another highlight was gaining knowledge about our religion as well as the indigenous community, alhamdulah I feel like my friendships are now stronger…”.

Serene Kaddour Al-Taqwa’s Grade 6 camp to the Northern Territory was a trip to be remembered for both teachers and students and one that we will indeed have again.

Incorporation of Islamic Banks in Australia:

Potentials and Challenges

By Dr. Abul Jalaluddin High Potentials There is a high potential for Islamic banking, Islamic financial services and Islamic wealth management in Australia due to a sizeable Muslim population (market) and Muslim businesses in various sectors of the economy.

According to 2011 Australian Census (as the Australian Bureau of Statistics has yet to release the outcome of its Census conducted in November 2016), there were 476,290 Muslims in Australia, of whom about 40% were Australian born. This is a conservative figure and some estimates point to a much higher level of Muslims in this country. About 46% of the Muslims live in NSW, 32% in Victoria and 7% in Queensland, indicating the major markets for an Islamic bank within Australia. The age group is of interest: 48% are in the age group of 25 to 54 years which is the prime age of employment and income generation.

A survey conducted by the Islamic Financial Services Council of Australia (IFSCA) in 2016 found that the level of wealth and purchasing power are high for Australian Muslims.

As for Muslim businesses, Australian Muslims own businesses in various

sectors of the economy. These businesses include retailing, butchery, accounting services, financial services including Islamic finance, manufacturing, real estate, taxis & transportation, home & gardening, furniture, automotive, Halal food & beverages, travel agency, clothing & accessories, computers & IT, jewellery & watches as well as books.

The Muslim market and Muslim businesses will create a sizeable demand in banking services for a commercially viable Islamic bank in Australia.

in excess of $7 million. Prudential Capital Ratio is 8% of the total assets of the ADI. The governance processes are stringent. All Directors and key management position holders will have to be “fit and proper” as per APRA regulations. Adequate risk management and internal control systems including credit risk, market risk, liquidity risk and operational risk will have to be in place.

Foreign ADIs will not serve the banking purpose of the general consumers due to restrictions on them under the legislation. Foreign ADIs are not permitted to accept deposits from individuals and non-corporate institutions of less than $250,000.

This will exclude banking for salary payments, rental payments and other payment services required by mum and dad customers.

Challenges The challenges to establish an Islamic bank are Formidable. To date, no license for Authorised Deposittaking Institution (ADI) was issued to conduct Islamic banking business in Australia. We have other providers of Islamic financial services in Australia, although they are not banks.

Requirements for Establishing an ADI Under the Banking Act 1959, APRA issued relevant guidelines for prospective applicants seeking an authority to carry on banking business in Australia. Applicants Aust have “the capacity and commitment to conduct banking business with integrity, prudence and competence on a continuing basis.” Capital

requirement is $50 million in Tier 1 capital which is equity capital and declared reserves or retained earnings. As for ownership structure, the Financial Sector (Shareholdings)

Act 1998 limits shareholdings of an individual shareholder or a group of associated shareholders in an ADI to 15% of the voting shares, requiring at least 7 shareholders each contributing

Concluding Remarks There are enormous potentials for Islamic banking in Australia which will create choices for consumers and diversify financial services for Muslims and non-Muslims alike.

MCCA and others have been exploring this opportunity for years. If an Islamic bank is established, it will create jobs, generate incomes and economic growth for all Australians.

Have a Productive Ramadan !

Whenever we think of Ramadhan, we are overcome with a desire to set high goals for ourselves spiritually, socially and physically. These noble intentions are all well and good, but most of us then spend the rest of the year struggling to keep up with the energy burst which emanates from this spiritually charged month! As women, we often find that we are burnt out from focusing on serving others in Ramadhan, so I want to share some useful tips and advice in this article to help boost your Ramadhan as a Muslimah.

There are many things you can do to ensure you have a well balanced and spiritually charged Ramadhan, but, as with everything, consistency is key. Over the last few years, Ramadhan has undoubtedly been one of the best months of spiritual retreat for me and it has only worked because I’ve been able to apply some key lessons of learning along the way as outlined below.

on what to eat and drink to keep you energised. Islam has beautifully taught us that Prophetic foods, which are a sunnah, are what I call super foods! They are filled with sources of energy which is why they should be a part of your regular diet for suhoor/ iftar. If you plan to have the following foods in Ramadhan each day, you’ll feel much lighter, energetic and insha Allah more productive in striving to achieve your Ramadhan goals.

Green olives Pomegranates Grapes Melon Cucumber Dates Milk Lemon water Honey (used in green tea or as spreads) Nuts and dried fruits Green vegetables All the above and many more, which are recommended by nutritionists and health advisers, should form part of your diet this Ramadhan!

1. Plan your diet

2. Schedule spiritual boosters

Many of us know that our bodies are an amanah from Allah (SWT), yet we spend so little time learning about the ways in which we should protect and nourish them.

During Ramadhan, especially when the days are longer and warmer, it is essential to gain some basic knowledge

Ramadhan is the month in which all of us experience a heightened sense of awareness of our relationship with Allah (SWT) and I always say Ramadhan is like a spiritual retreat! It is a time where

fasting coupled with long night prayers can boost your relationship with Allah (SWT).

In order to get the best out of Ramadhan, I suggest you set yourself spiritual boosters to aim for regularly each day.

This might be to read one page of Qur’an or a whole chapter and then reflect on it with translation or it may be that you use lunch break at work for a short reflection moment in which you can do dhikr and recite words of remembrance or read an Islamic book which will remind you of the virtues in character that fasting is meant to build in you. All of these spiritual booster activities should be spread out throughout your day, including praying tahajjud and making plentiful du’a, as the fasting person’s du’a is almost always accepted.

3. Get charitable!

It is well known that the Prophet (SAW) would be the most generous throughout the blessed month of Ramadhan. Set yourself a social productivity goal to take part in a fundraising initiative by getting proactive to raise funds for a needy cause. Perhaps you can think about hosting an iftar party and raise funds for charity.

Perhaps this Ramadhan you can finally commit to sponsoring an orphan or contributing to the local mosque to have more facilities

for the local community. You can be charitable in so many ways, so think about how you will donate your time, money, efforts and, most important of all, your skills to better the Ummah around you!

4. Keep a Ramadhan journal For a couple of years now, I have regularly kept a Ramadhan journal and it is one of the most powerful ways to hold yourself to account as well as reflect spiritually on your state in Ramadhan. All you need is a blank notebook which you can carry easily in your handbag and a pen.

Then schedule in time at the end of the night or early in the morning (depending on when you prefer to be more reflective) to just jot down what you found went well that day, reflect on your actions.

If you are reading Qur’an, you can also combine your Ramadhan journal to reflect on verses from the Qur’an, which I often found to be a very useful way of using my journal to develop myself spiritually. After Ramadhan, you can look back on the 30 days and read over how energised and connected you felt to Allah (SWT) to inspire and motivate you to carry on doing the same throughout the months following Ramadhan, insha Allah!

5. Plan your du’as The Prophet (SAW) said: “Three types of people’s du’as are not rejected: 1) at the time of iftar the person who has fasted 2) a just ruler’s dua and 3) the dua of the oppressed..”

[Tirmidhi] One of the most profound courses I did last year (after impulsively just signing up to the course in the early hours of the morning!) was the online Visionaire course where I learnt how to make du’as which are effective and planned my dream du’as for every prayer. Since that Ramadhan, I have had some immense milestones and prayers achieved, including moving to a new house and travelling to a place I had been longing to visit, alhamdulillah.

So here is the secret formula for having your du’as planned and made a daily habit, so it sticks after Ramadhan! You can refresh these du’as every

six months but spend some time preparing and writing them down so you memorise them for selected times.

1.List 6 short sharp du’as to achieve by end of the year.

2.Memorise them and add Allah’s Most Beautiful Names to each du’a.

3.Make the same du’as a daily habit.

4.Choose a time where du’a is likely to be accepted! Such as in prostration, after obligatory prayers, when you are about to break your fast and in the last third of the night.

5. Make them tangible and specific as you would do with a SMART goal (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound).

6. Be sincere and have conviction every time you make du’a it will be answered, insha Allah!

Favorite Foods For

By Reuben Brand http://creativeummah.com

The Holy month of Ramadan is a time to reconnect with God, reconnect with family and reconnect with loved ones. It is a time where communities come together in remembrance of the Divine.

Food. It is the simplest of diplomats, but effortlessly continues to break down barriers and bring people from diverse backgrounds together.

Dates and Water Traditionally dates and water have been the favoured choice for many to break their fast at Iftar, as it is the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammed, may peace and blessings be upon him, who would also break his fast in the same way.

Amar al-Deen Amar al-Deen is a delicious drink made from sun dried apricot paste. The paste is created by squeezing loads of apricots and mixing the juicy pulp with glucose syrup and spreading onto massive trays. The trays are then left to dry in the heat of the sun and what you are left with is basically large orange sheets of apricot leather. Add water to the strips, soak over night and voila! You have just made Amar al-Deen.

Ramadan Pakoras & Samosas

Lentil Soup Lentil soup is a staple on almost every Iftar table and could almost to crowned to official soup of Ramadan.

It is not only delicious, but is extremely good for you after a long day of fasting, as it packed with nutritional goodies such as protein, fibre and vitamin C. It is also a low in calorie dish, so it is basically the ultimate healthy option for anyone wanting a warm pick me up this Ramadan.

Bryani If you are looking for delicate flavours that pack a punch and leave you going back for seconds, thirds and a sneaky fourth, then this is the dish for you.

Bryani is what every grain of rice wants to be when they grow up. It is the pinnacle of awesomeness in the rice world and never disappoints the taste buds.

Fattoush Salad The ultimate when it comes to salad has to be fattoush. Filled with fresh crispy cucumber, blushing red tomatoes, mint, parsley, radish, crispy pieces of fried bread and topped with tangy lemon, olive oil, sumac and black sesame seed dressing. It is fresh, zesty and always a good healthy winner to accompany any dish.

The soundtrack to Iftars all over the world is the crunch of crispy pakoras and or samosas.

The perfect balance of crispy outside with soft, warm deliciousness inside. Fasting is easy when you know you one of these bad boys to break fast with at the end of the day.

Atayef

Knefeh Knefeh is the cheesecake of the Middle East and it doesn’t disappoint. It is made with a mozzarella-ish cheese, housed in a butter and semolina crust.

After it comes out of the oven, it is drowned in amazing sweet syrup and adorned with crushed pistachios. If you are ever in Sydney, Australia, then it is a must that you visit the Bearded Bakers and experience the joy of Knefeh.

Most people have tried a simple pancake at lest once n their life. Atayef are no ordinary pancakes and if you haven’t tried one, then what are you waiting for? These little gems are soft, fluffy pillows of deliciousness. Stuffed with creamy cheese, dipped in crushed nuts and drizzled with rose water syrup or honey, they are the stuff of dreams and make a long day of fasting seem short. Yum.

Sharing the Joy of Ramadan with

Non-Muslims For Muslims living in the West, there is a greater need to showcase Ramadan – not just as the month of fast, but as the month of inspiration, the revelation of the Quran, the spreading of the Message, the solidifying of the prayer (Ramadan comes after Isra’ & Mi’raj), and the general remembrance of worship that upgrades us throughout the year.

The Plan to Share the Joy of Ramadan Ideally, the “showcase” of being a good Muslim should be one that takes place throughout the 12 months of the year, and not just punctuated during Ramadan, since Muslims should be cohesively celebrative in society, without having to compromise their beliefs and principles, and to constantly be a driving force of good values.

But even if we feel we have done our best, we can always do better. So, with a few weeks left to Ramadan, here are a few steps to working towards sharing the joy of the Holy Month with non-Muslim neighbors, friends, colleagues, and insha’Allah, society as a whole.

Start with Du’a and Pleasing Intentions to Allah You can’t go wrong with du’a and the best of intentions. Sharing something we love is inherent in our religion. Make sincere du’a that Allah puts blessings in our endeavors in spreading the joy of the 9th Lunar Month, and for our own personal betterment with Allah.

After all, it is said that whoever pleases Allah at the risk of displeasing the people, Allah will be pleased with him or her, (and that is enough of a reward for the believer), but Allah will also make the people be pleased with that person.

What better way to start spreading love and care to others especially during the month where the gates of Jannah (Paradise) are the most welcoming.

Reach out to the Closest NonMuslims Prophet Muhammad harbored great amounts of compassion for neighbors, and did not discriminate between his Muslim neighbors and non-Muslim neighbors. He spoke to them regularly and exchanged gifts with them, shared meals, and spoke openly about our beliefs.

Our best advocates as Muslims living in the West are our non-Muslim neighbors and friends, if adversities break out, and Muslims fall prey to the misconceptions of Islam. Make an effort to speak to neighbors at the onset of Ramadan, send invitations to share iftar meals, or simple gifts representing the meaning of Ramadan.

Share A Plate with Your Neighbour

I remember a friend of mine who was quite an inspiration. She and her children bought roses and churned out mini-pamphlets on Ramadan and Islam and distributed them amongst their neighbors a week before the fast started. They received plenty of wishes thereafter and made many new friends.

Look for Opportunities in the Community If you’re already active in your local community (via the community centre, library, a multi-faith agency, or local college or university), look for ways you can “represent” Ramadan, perhaps through booths or small workshops.

In fact, the youth attending tertiary education are probably in the best position to be actively involved in da’wah. Ramadan offers a goldmine of ideas to do this, and it would help to be kept busy during the long summer months.

Many communities in the West that are diverse in nature tend to have seasonal celebrations of multi-faiths and cultures. If there is an opportunity to showcase Islam, step up as a volunteer. Sometimes, just doing a Ramadan craft with children is enough to introduce Ramadan to young families. It only really takes a little pique of interest to start inquisitive minds on a discovery reel of a new religion.

Other forms of community work could include working with organizations that fund Muslim and non-Muslim charities to collaborate in charitable efforts collectively.

Take to the Streets There seems to be a surge in street da’wah programs across the globe, but especially actively seen in the West. If you can get in touch with a reputable Muslim organization that (preferably), has already made inroads with the non-Muslim community, this would be great training grounds on how to approach the non-Muslim community, all while in da’wah mode.

Giving out gifts prior to Ramadan, pamphlets, invitations to iftar, copies of the Quran translated into the local language, have all been means in spreading the love of Islam.

Take to the Internet There is much inspiration in the hashtag of today. If a good hashtag on Ramadan comes along the way, (and it will), take advantage of it as being part of the global online Muslim community. While social media has sported plenty of evils, it’s still a fair playing field for da’wah causes.

Lebanon’s Application for Membership of the Hague Conference

on Private International Law Here is a matter which is of high importance to the Republic of Lebanon which has unfortunately been a subject of some delay, and which I have been discussing with the Secretary-General of The Hague Conference on Private International Law, Dr Christophe Bernasconi.

The Hague Conference on Private International Law is a preeminent body operating under the auspices of the United Nations. It forms an intergovernmental organisation whose purpose is to “work for the progressive unification of the rules of private international law” (Statue, Article 1). Formed in 1893, The Hague Conference provides an avenue for international judicial and administrative co-operation in the area of private law, with particular achievements in the field of civil procedure, commercial law, and jurisdictions of courts.

There are eighty-two nations which are members of The Hague Conference who meet once a year at The Hague in the Netherlands. Membership of the Conference allows for the facilitation of trade, commerce and legal relations between the members in an effort to respectfully coordinate diverse legal relations whilst maintaining a high degree of legal security.

There are a number of conventions which comprise the Conference. These multilateral legal instruments seek to harmonise global legal traditions and achieve a unification of private international rules. This is achieved through negotiating global approaches to matters including the jurisdictions of the courts, applicable law and the recognition and enforcement of judgments. In the years between 1951 and 2008, The Hague Conference adopted 38 International Conventions. Examples of these include the Convention

on International Access to Justice, the Convention on the Taking of Evidence Abroad in Civil or Commercial Matters, and the Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Judgments in Civil and Commercial Matters.

These have had significant influence on legal systems in both Member and non-Member States.

Dr Christophe Bernasconi, the Secretary-General of The Hague Conference on Private International Law recently gave a lecture in Sydney on The Hague Conference, it’s main Conventions and Instruments, ongoing work and relevance to Australia.

Papers were also given by His Honour, Mr Justice Robert McDougall (‘The Importance of Private International Law in Australia’), Mr Ian Coleman SC a former Appeal Court judge of the Family Court (‘The Impact of Private International Law on Australia’s Family Law’), Ms Sandrine AlexandreHughes barrister (‘Practical Illustrations of Selected Hague Conventions Assisting International Families’), and Mr David Hughes barrister (‘The Hague Convention on Service Abroad, taking Evidence Abroad and Apostilles’).

The process towards Lebanon becoming a Member of The Hague Conference has already been started in 2009 but not yet finalised. This matter must be addressed by the Head of State (President), Head of Government (Prime Minister) or the Minister of Foreign Affairs. Briefly, the history of what has occurred so far, is as follows: In November 2009, Lebanon requested Membership of The Hague Conference on Private International Law by sending a letter to the then Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Netherlands. On 13 November 2009, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Netherlands wrote to the then Secretary General of The Hague Conference, Mr Hans van

By Rick Mitry

Loon, proposing the Republic of Lebanon as a new Member.

The letter was written in French and a copy has been supplied to the writer as have all the letters mentioned in this article.

On 23 November 2009, the Secretary General writes to the then Member States of The Hague Conference, inviting them to vote on the proposal to admit Lebanon as a Member. The voting period, which runs for 6 months, occurred from November 2009 to May 2010. The Secretary General wrote to the Ambassador of Lebanon alerting him of this occurrence.

On 28 May 2010, the voting returned a positive vote and Lebanon became an ‘admitted State’. At that date, Lebanon was invited to deposit an instrument of acceptance of the Statute of The Hague Conference. Lebanon is informed that on the day it deposits this instrument, it

will become a Member State of The Hague Conference. The Secretary General sent a letter to the Ambassador of Lebanon with this invitation.

On 11 January 2012, the Secretary General of The Hague Conference sends a first reminder letter to the Ambassador of Lebanon seeking an instrument of acceptance of the Statute.

On 26 November· 2012, the Secretary General of The Hague Conference writes to the then Prime Minister of Lebanon, Mr Najib Mikati, inviting Lebanon again, to deposit an instrument of acceptance of the Statute in order to become a Member.

On 25 November 2013, another reminder was sent by the Secretary General of The Hague Conference to the Charge d ‘affairs a. i. about the outstanding acceptance of the Statute. The reminder further extended an invitation to Lebanon to attend, as an observer, the yearly meeting of the Council on General Affairs and Policy of The Hague Conference.

As an admitted member of The Hague Conference since May 2010, Lebanon has always been invited, as an observer to the yearly meeting of the Council. With each invitation, Lebanon has been reminded of the need to provide an instrument of acceptance of the Statute to complete the process towards becoming a Member. Naturally it is understandable that with the instability of the political situation over the news, there has inevitably been a delay in finalising Lebanon’s membership.

In light of the many years that have passed since the vote of 28 May 2010, approximately seven years (which is quite exceptional in the history of the Organisation), The Hague Conference is eager to finalise the process and to finally welcome the Republic of Lebanon as a new Member.

Lebanon has participated, as an observer, in three

Diplomatic Sessions including an Extraordinary Session of 1985 on the law applicable to sales contracts, the Session of 1993 which finalised the highly successful Intercountry Adoption Convention, and the Session of 2001 which adopted the final text of the Convention of 5 July 2006 on the Law Applicable to Certain Rights in Respect of Securities held with an Intermediary (the first finance law instrument adopted by The Hague Conference). Lebanon also participated, as an observer, in the Council meeting of 2011.

A Member State has absolutely no obligation to join any specific Conventions. In other words, when Lebanon becomes a Member State of The Hague Convention it will remain in full and sole control over The Hague Conventions it wants to join, including the Family Law Conventions. Thus, there is no need for Lebanon to file a declaration of the sort they may be thinking about at the time they become a Member.

Accordingly, Lebanon can become a Member and then decide freely when to join which treaty. They are under no obligation whatsoever to join any of the Family Law Conventions.

In the 1980s, I founded a local chapter of the International Association of Lions Clubs (which is a highly esteemed organisation in Lebanon) as well as the Australian Lebanese Chamber of Commerce which continues to operate strongly today.

I also had the honour of working with the late Prime Minister Rafic El-Hariri over a number of meetings with him and his then Treasurer Mr Fouad Siniora, when I visited Lebanon with parliamentary delegations and a community group from Australia. In l 995, I proposed to the late Prime Minister that as Lebanon had only entered a Double Taxation Treaty with France, it should perhaps consider

entering such treaties with Australia and other countries.

He immediately asked Mr Siniora to arrange a meeting with me which we had on the same day. At that meeting, I canvassed possibilities and the procedures of such treaties with other countries. Lebanon has now entered 35 Double Taxation Treaties. I have also published papers on Business Law of the Middle East and a booklet on ‘Doing Business in Australia’.

I am strongly convinced that Lebanon’s membership of The Hague Conference will benefit Lebanon more than the benefit they have derived from entering to Double Taxation Treaties above. I am aware, before of my past experience, of the bureaucratic and legislative difficulties involved in setting up such international agreements however I am also aware that they can be overcome.

Lebanon could deposit its instrument of acceptance of the Statute during a Meeting of the Council on General Affairs and Policy (one just took place in The Hague on 14-16 March 2017).

Submitting the document at this Meeting, in front of the Members of The Hague Conference will highlight the importance of this development and provide an opportunity to address the Council directly of the importance of the Membership for both Lebanon and The Hague Conference. I am aware that Ms Abir Ali, the Charge d ‘affairs a.i. (there is not yet an Ambassador from Lebanon appointed to the Netherlands) has been requested to make a new submission to the Lebanese government. I hope that this will be attended to with the priority it deserves.

If any reader would like more information on this matter, they may contact the writer via my email address rick@mitry.com. au or my executive legal assistant amanda.charchar@mitry.com.au.

“Regardless of my race, skin colour or accent, Uber Australia has given me the best job opportunity” Mostafa, an IT analyst originally from Egypt, has been a happy Uber driver-partner for two and half years. He’s good at it too and boasts a 4.8 rating from riders (out of 5).

Currently living in Melbourne with his partner, Mostafa enjoys the social aspect of driving with Uber the most, saying “Uber is a truly multicultural company that has given me a job opportunity regardless of my race, skin colour or accent.”

It’s not always easy to find work as a new migrant, embarking on a new life in a foreign country, and challenges lie in almost every aspect of daily life: finding a place to live, earning enough money to buy groceries and saving for a good education for their children.

After many years as an IT analyst in Egypt, Mostafa has struggled

to find a job in the IT industry in Australia. Fortunately for Mostafa, Uber has been the perfect shortterm solution to earn money and support him financially.

He has met different people from all around the world just sitting in his driver’s seat. “Driving with Uber gives me a job that helps me fit into Australian life. That’s why I enjoy driving with Uber!” he added.

A recent national survey by Uber revealed that around 60% of driver partners are born outside of Australia and New Zealand and top three ethnicities of Uber driver partners are: Indian, Pakistani and Chinese.

The early data released by Australian Bureau of Statistics from the 2016 Census indicates that Australia has become more multicultural than ever, so are Uber driver partners. For many migrant Aussies, becoming an Uber driver

partner has become a great way to earn income and pay the bills in the process of settling in a new country.

More information on driving is available at XXX.uber.com.

About Uber Australia Uber first launched in Australia in 2012 and is now available in 17 cities across the country. More than 2.8 million Australian riders choose Uber as a safe, reliable and affordable way to get from A to B in their city, while 58,000 local driver-partners use the app to make money on their own schedule. For many Australians, driving with Uber is not even a part-time job - it’s just driving an hour or two a day, as and when it suits them, to meet new people and help pay the bills.

Ramadan Foods from Around the World • Dahi vadey: Lentil dumplings that are soaked in a spicy yogurt sauce (India) • Haleem: A slow-cooked stew of meat, bulgur wheat, and lentils (Middle East, India, Pakistan, and Central Asia) • Chicken 65: Spicy, bite-sized pieces of chicken that are marinated and deep-fried (India) • Ramazan Kebabi: A dish made with lamb, onions, yogurt, and pita bread (Turkey) • Ful medammes: Fava beans cooked with garlic and spread on bread (North Africa)

• Paomo: A bread and mutton soup (China) • Chapatis: Unleavened flatbread that is rolled up with vegetables and meats (India and Pakistan) • Fattoush: A salad made of vegetables and pita bread (Lebanon and Arab countries) • Konafah: A pastry made with phyllo dough and cheese (Middle East) • Kolak: A fruit dessert made with palm sugar, coconut milk, and pandanus leaf.

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 Fast-Breaking, called Eid alFitr.

Ramadan – What it Shouldn’t be Like Ramadan is a much awaited month in the Muslim community.

But it is easy to fall for the traps and make mistakes which take the essence out of this blessed month. A look at what not to do during Ramadan.

1- Fight over the occurrence of the moon.

“I saw the moon!” “No, I didn’t see the moon!” “Ramadan begins today.” “Ramadan begins tomorrow” “I saw the moon clearly!” “Nonsense, it’s too cloudy to see anything.”

Oh my God stop getting into a war over the sighting of the moon. It is not necessary for everybody to see the moon.

Legally, even if one person in the entire region sees the moon, it counts. Even if no one has seen it, Ramadan/Eid cannot be delayed by more than two days. So stop your bickering and whining.

2- Sleep your way through Ramadan We get it. Not eating for the whole day is tiring business.

But the whole point of Ramadan is to ask forgiveness for your sins and do more worship and dhikr of Allah and earn good deeds, not eat suhur, *snore* and then wake up for iftar.

Note: The excuse about

sleeping being a reward because you are not accounted for your deeds in sleep? True, but old, man, old.

3- Overeat in suhur, overeat at iftar Eat a sustainable suhur, something which can keep you going through the day.

Similarly, don’t gorge yourself at iftar to the point that you can hardly move. Instead, eat in small portions in gaps of every two hours. There’s no need to eat till you bloat.

4- Acting like Ramadan is an ultimate 30 day fitness program “Do you know I’m not supposed to eat and drink the whole day? I’ll have soooo much time to exercise! Think of all the calories I’ll lose by not bingeing on snacks every hour. It’ll be like a detox program!” Fine. But that’s not Ramadan. It’s not an exercise period, and it’s definitely not a challenge to see how many pounds you lose in 30 days.

(Me personally, I always gain, man. I hate losing.)

5- Cooking. Cooking.

Browsing through 134 food blogs. Dusting the covers of 385 cookbooks dating back from your grandmother’s time. Filling 12,392 pages with your “notes”. Preparing

for extensive dishes at suhur. Spending 5 hours in the kitchen making iftar.

I’m exaggerating a little (hopefully). But seriously, you’re wasting spending the whole time prepping for iftar?

The whole day? The period which is blessed? Instead of asking forgiveness and worshipping Allah? Get real, guys. This is not it.

6- Countdown to iftar There will always be that one person who’ll update the whole family about how much time there is left for iftar.

The countdown will begin as early as Fajr. This person fasts all day to feast at iftar. This person is cranky, irritating, and annoying the whole day, and lives for iftar time. This person is the happiest while eating. Instead of praying and making dua at the time of iftar, this person is willing to make the clock to move faster. If, God forbid, you try to delay this person’s iftar, for whatever reason, this person can, and will, murder you. DO not be this person.

Try not to do these things over the course of these 30 days.

Happy Ramadan!

Best foods for

Ramadan

68

Everyone knows they should eat healthy during Ramadan. But few end up doing it and fewer still know what foods are good for them.

By Sharmila Dhal http://gulfnews.com

Dates

Fresh fruits

They are a definite yes as they are a great way to replenish electrolytes lost through the day during long hours of fasting. By the end of the fast, most people would have low blood sugar levels and fresh fruits provide complex carbohydrates and fibre to help in a gradual rise of glucose levels and improved digestion. Sprinkling cinnamon powder also helps.

An absolute must as they are high in vitamin A, B6, potassium, natural sodium, iron and magnesium. A fasting person’s body has low reserves of these nutrients which dates will help replenish. The natural sugar in dates will give one the instant energy needed for evening prayers. The best part about having dates is that it also works as a mild laxative and eases constipation, which is quite common due to a sudden change in lifestyle during Ramadan.

Lentils and beans

Most under-used in iftar menus but mixed bean salad, lentil soups etc are recommended.

Raw nuts

They contain good fats which help release the sugar in dates even more slowly, keeping one feeling full up and in control, without the need to binge.

Fresh vegetables

Low in calories, high in fibre, they give the extra dose of nutrients and aid digestion and sleep.

History

Selective Forgetting in Colonial Australia Bilal Cleland

ilal42@bigpond.com One of the many national myths we were taught in school, here in Australia, was that the original inhabitants were just hunter-gatherers, who did not develop the land or learn to utilize it as the “civilised” Europeans did.

Like many national myths, myths used to justify or excuse what occurred in the past, or to glorify certain features of

society for political ends, this one is now being demolished by reality.

Bruce Pascoe, who is of Bunurong/Tasmanian heritage, in “Dark Emu,” turns upon its head much of what we have been taught as self-evident truth. In order to reach some understanding of what existed in Australia before the destruction of the First Nations, he realized that evidence would have to be acquired from the journals and diaries of the very earliest European explorers and colonists. Only their records would illustrate what existed at first contact.

He wrote in the Introduction: “These journals revealed a much more complicated Aboriginal economy than the primitive hunter-gatherer lifestyle we had been told was the simple lot of Australia’s First People. Hunter-gatherer societies forage and hunt for food and do not employ

agricultural methods or build permanent dwellings; they are nomadic. But as I read these early journals I came across repeated references to people building dams and wells, planting, irrigating and harvesting seed, preserving the surplus and storing it in houses, sheds or secure vessels, creating elaborate cemeteries and manipulating the landscape – none of which fitted the definition of huntergatherer.”

The world view of the early British colonists was shaped by their education. They were brought up to believe in the superiority of their science, economy and their religion.

They were certain that British industrial achievements were evidence of their natural superiority. The notion that humans evolved from the level of the beast to civilized man, a notion reinforced by Darwin’s confusion of natural history with human history, meant

there was no doubt in their minds, as Pascoe describes it, “…that Englishmen were on the steepest ascent of human endeavor. How would it have been possible for them not to believe that the world was their entitlement and their possession of it ordained by God.” It should be noted that Darwin’s work was entitled “On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life.” In his later work “The Descent of Man,” Darwin wrote: ““At some future period, not very distant as measured by centuries, the civilised races of man will almost certainly exterminate and replace throughout the world the savage races”.

The truth about the advanced nature of Aboriginal society was lost under the depredation of spreading pastoralism and the wool industry, so

important to the British. The eradication of villages, the murder of the occupants of the land, meant that all traces of what had been were quickly eliminated. “It is no wonder that after 1860 most people saw no evidence of any prior complex civilization.”

In his chapter on ”The Heavens, Language and the Law, ” Pascoe points out that a high degree of social and religious cohesion was observable in the beginning.

He quotes the Australian anthropologist Ian Keen who found that Ancestral law was accepted across a wide region by autonomous individuals and kin groups. There was no legislation but there was “ a disposition to conform to shared values and norms, and to defer to people in authority.”

According to Pascoe; “All other processes of delivering justice, protecting the peace, management of social roles

and the division of the land’s wealth were defined by ancestral law and interpreted by those chosen as the senior Elders.” These Elders held their positions through the respect that they had earned, not through inheritance or force.

The shameful categorization of this willingness to look at our past truthfully as the “blackarmband” view of history, so ignorantly used by right-wing politicians, is now being well and truly overturned.

Opening Doors and Hearts for

Victorian Mosque Open Day The Highlights of each of the 14 mosques that where participating

ICV Warm smiles, deep discussions and delicious meals were aplenty across 14 Mosques in Victoria over the weekend.

The Islamic Council of Victoria’s state wide Mosque Open Day attracted hundreds of open minded Victorians who visited participating mosques across the state on Sunday, May 7.

Fourteen Mosques united to open their doors and hearts on the day to embrace friendships with their neighbours who wanted to better understand the Muslim faith beyond the negative headlines.

Each Mosque played an integral part in making the day a success by going above and beyond in preparing for the arrival of their guests which included local neighbours, councillors and Mayors, members of Parliament, Victoria Police, other faith groups and curious media.

While some guests travelled from as far as Geelong to Preston, others walked across the road to enter the Mosque they lived or worked near - going inside and meeting its members for the very first time. ICV President Br Mohamed Mohideen who visited 5 Mosques on the day for support said the day was

about healing.

“Australia’s Muslim community is very hospitable and friendly but with all the negative news surrounding us - a little disheartened. It was a great opportunity for Muslims to heal and reach out and make some friends out of people we wouldn’t normally see in our space.”

“We opened our doors and hearts and they graciously opened their minds and came in,” Br Mohamed said.

ICV executive director Br Nail Aykan said the true pioneers behind the successful day were the Mosque communities.

“They worked tirelessly in the lead up to the day to host their unmet neighbours, dotting

their i’s and crossing their t’s to make things perfect.”

“Welcoming” “enlightening” “positive” “harmonious” and “yummy food” were the sentiments shared by visitors on the day. With one visitor highlighting, “I found I had a lot in common with the people there, and I do not practice any religion... I just believe in being kind to all people.”

The Victorian Mosque Open Day hopes to be an annual event with even a larger group of Mosques participating next year.

To find out more about the day visit: https://www.facebook.com/ events/207879083029351/

• Preston Mosque who saw 200 visitors enter the Mosque on Sunday with some from as far as Geelong!

• Quba Mosque had a more humble open with fewer people but deeper conversations.

• Monash Mosque helped their local Mayor try on a hijab in the name of inclusiveness and took some great shots.

• Hallam Mosque and Emir Sultan welcomed SBS World News film crews while Thomastown Mosque and Albanian Mosque put on a spread with flowers and pastries and presentations.

• Benevolence Australia shared their beautiful space with people from all walks of life, while Elsedeaq thoughtfully catered for our little visitors with a jumping castles and a soccer ball.

• Virgin Mary Mosque didn’t get a break with visitors streaming in right up until our close.

• Doncaster Mosque UMMA Centre had a great turnout and loads of positive feedback online.

• GAMCI handled some tough questions by a group of people who attended with ill intentions but didn’t let that get in the way and went on to have a positive day.

• Ballarat Mosque had beautiful Qur’an recitations along with translations and a barbecue where visitors contacted me to ask for the recipe of their chicken!

• ICV City Mosque also had a more humble turnout but some great feedback after visits.

Project Manager Bahriye Bol says “Good prevailed this weekend.

All praise is due to Allah and each and every one of you masAllah.

Thank you all for being a part of a dream team, thank you for being so keen and open to run this invaluable initiative and thank you for uniting and acting as an Ummah - that to me was the highlight of this project”

Meadow Heights Mosque Minaret

Opening Ceremony

On the 14th of May 2017, ICMG Meadow Heights Mosque conducted the Opening Ceremony for the newest Minarets of the Mosque. The Meadow Heights Mosque Minaret Project had started in early 2016, and had been completed in early May 2017.

The opening of the two new Minarets of the Mosque have been well received by members of the community, with ICMG Australia President Hasan

Guresen, ICMG Assistant Organisational Director Suleyman Yilmaz, Consul General of the Republic of Turkey in Melbourne Mehmet Kucuksakalli and Federal Member for Calwell Maria Vamvakinou being amongst the speakers of the day.

Following a performance by the Australian Ottoman Mehter Band, the ribbon cutting ceremony took place.

Outlining the significance of Meadow Heights Mosque, Maria Vamvakinou spoke

about the importance of the community coming together to support all projects of community organisations.

Thanking all those who had a contribution, ICMG Australia President Hasan Guresen had said “We see that the community coming together can lead to many great accomplishments. I would like to thank all the attendees, as well as the Hume City Council for their support.”

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 `alayhi wa sallam( may Allaah exalt his mention ), said upon seeing it: “Allahumma ahillahu ‘alayna bilyumn 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 `alayhi 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 `alayhi wa sallam( may Allaah exalt his mention), said: “The fasting person has an answered supplication upon breaking his fast.” The Prophet, sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam( may Allaah exalt his mention ), used to say:“Thahab ath-thama’ wabtallat al-‘urooq wa thabat al-ajr 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 AlHaakim] 4-Praising Allah The Almighty after eating and drinking.

The Prophet, sallallaahu `alayhi 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 `alayhi 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 `alayhi 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.” [AlBukhari and Muslim] 7- Keenness on having Suhoor (pre-dawn meal).

The Prophet, sallallaahu `alayhi 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.”

[Al-Bukhari and Muslim] 9- Providing food for the fasting person.

The Prophet, sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his mention ), said: “Whoever provides a fasting person with food to break his fast will receive a reward similar to that of the fasting person without affecting the latter’s reward.”[At-Tirmithi: Hasan Saheeh] Encourage your acquaintances to contribute to providing food for fasting people.

10- Supplications in general.

The Prophet, sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam( may Allaah exalt his mention), said quoting his Lord: “I am as My slave expects of Me, and I am with him when he calls upon Me.” [Al-Bukhari and Muslim] 11-Supplicating for a Muslim in

his absence.

The Prophet, sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his mention ), said: “No slave supplicates for a Muslim in his absence but the angel will say, ‘May the same be for you too.’”

[Muslim] 12- Feeling the seriousness and danger of sin and believing that you cannot bear the punishment allocated for it. This will help you hasten to give up sin and renew your repentance to Allah The Almighty in order to change your bad deeds into good ones.

Allah The Almighty Says (what means): {Except for those who repent, believe and do righteous work. For them Allah will replace their evil deeds with good. And ever is Allah Forgiving and Merciful.} [Quran 25:70]

13-Seeking forgiveness of Allah The Almighty.

The Prophet, sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his mention ), said: “If anyone constantly seeks forgiveness from Allah, He will appoint for him a way out of every distress and relief from every anxiety, and will provide

sustenance for him from where he does not expect.”[Abu Daawood and An-Nasaa’i] 14 Supplicating and asking forgiveness for Muslims.

Allah The Almighty Says (what means): {And [there is a share for] those who came after them, saying,“Our Lord, forgive us and our brothers who

preceded us in faith and put not in our hearts [any] resentment toward those who have believed.

Our Lord, indeed, You Are Kind and Merciful.”} [Quran 59:10] Source: www.islamweb.net

What is Halal?

Halal is an Arabic word meaning lawful or permitted.

The opposite of Halal is Haram, which means unlawful or prohibited. Halal and Haram are universal terms that apply to all facets of life. However, we will use these terms only in relation to food products, meat products, cosmetics, personal care products, food ingredients, and food contact materials.

While many things are clearly Halal or clearly Haram, there are some things which are not clear. These items are considered questionable or suspect and more information is needed to categorize them as Halal or Haram. Such items are often referred to as Mashbooh, which means doubtful or questionable.

Basically, All Food Is Halal Except For The Following: The following products are definitely Halal: • Milk (from cows, sheep, camels, and goats) • Honey • Fish • Plants which are not intoxicant • Fresh or naturally frozen

vegetables • Fresh or dried fruits • Legumes & nuts like peanuts, cashew nuts, hazel nuts, walnuts, etc • Grains such as wheat, rice, rye, barley, oat, etc.

• Meat from swine - pork, ham • Pork-based products and by-products - sausages, gelatine etc • Animals improperly slaughtered, or already dead before slaughtering • Animals killed in the name of anyone other than Allah • ntoxicants • Blood and blood by-products • Foods contaminated with any of the above products • Most of the desserts use non Halal Gelatin that comes from pigs.

About other animals such as cows, goats, deer, chickens, ducks, game birds, etc., are only Halal if they are slaughtered according to Islamic Law, called Zabihah in Arabic.

INGREDIENTS The following ingredients should be avoided by all Muslims: 1) Alcohol 2) Animal Shortening* 3) Animal Fat* 4) Bacon 5) Broth* (from animal) 6) Enzymes*: Microbial Enzymes are okay 7) Ethanol 8) Ethyl alcohol 9) Gelatin* 10) Gin 11) Ham 12) L-cysteine (if from human hair) 13) Lard 14) Lipase*: Only animal lipase should be

Key Points In Halal Production For a product to be Halal it must be: • Free of, and not containing any substance or ingredient taken or extracted from a Haram animal or ingredient. All the raw material and ingredients used must be Halal.

• From naturally Halal animals, such as cattle, goat, sheep, etc. and slaughtered according to Islamic rites.

Help develop Australian Scholars & Thinkers

Community fundraising dinner at the Boathouse, Moonee Ponds.

On the 13 May 2017, Sanad Foundation held a pre-Ramadan ‘Scholars and Communities Fundraiser Dinner.’ Family, friends and community members came together for a common goal.

Guest speakers Shaykh Abdinur Weli, Eugenia Flynn and other representatives highlighted the importance for the strengthening of the Islamic tradition of Scholarship and its beneficial connection to our communities in Australia.

A video was launched of the first scholarship recipient Mohamed Acharki sharing his personal story and experiences. The evening was filled with Islamic nasheeds from Nur Al-Habib and the event closed with a

dua from Shakyh Mahmud Kurkcu.

What is the Sanad Scholarship

Sanad believes in providing scholarships to study abroad to those dedicated and able individuals who possess a firm conviction and commitment to contributing to the development of a Melbournian Muslim community that enjoys a strong and creative connection to its Islamic heritage and tradition.

Why the Sanad Scholarship Fund

Islamic Law considers the ongoing presence and availability of scholars able to address the general and particular needs of any given Muslim community to be a

congregational obligation (Fard Kifaa’iyy) that the Muslim community is responsible for ensuring.

With Muslims effected and engaged in all fields of cultural, intellectual, social and political life in Melbourne, planning and preparing for future access to authoritative and quality education and scholarship in all areas of the Islamic Scholarly tradition upon which their activity bears has become an indispensable part of Muslim communal life and obligations.

Realising the Sanad Scholarship Fund Vision

The responsibility for acquiring the vast array of expertise and specializations in the Islamic Scholarly tradition needed by the Melbournian Community will be divided between its scholarship recipients.

Consequently, each scholarship recipient will be: 1) required to acquire and develop a broad knowledge and understanding of the different and key areas of

the Islamic sciences.

2) allocated the responsibility of pursuing a more focused study in a specific field/subject of the Islamic sciences.

3) required to acquire a solid grounding in the particular area of Islamic thought that overlaps with the scholarship recipient’s university background.

Your duas and support this Ramadan

We ask you to remember the Sanad Foundation in your duas this Ramadan.

Your generosity makes the goals of the Foundation possible through funding the creation of its scholarships and facilitating networking and other strategically significant projects.

Brightening up

Ramadan

We’ve definitely come a long way since the old days of printing out single letters on A4 sheets to spell out the words Ramadan Mubarak in large black letters onto coloured paper.

Ramadan decorations are now a part of the family preparation for the holiest of months.

Families have realised that living in the West, the lights and sounds of Xmas are so bedazzling and attractive, that Muslim’s too need to celebrate our special days.

“We notice parents starting to come in half way through Shabaan, buying up banners, flags, balloons, paper cups & plates all emblazoned with Ramadan messages ready for when Ramadan starts”, says Sr Firhana from IBC in Melbourne. “It’s truly getting bigger each year. It’s all about the children, parents know children love a happy occasion, so why shouldn’t the house be a happy place for the whole month”.

“Fanoos, Fanoos, everybody wants Fanoos”, (lanterns) says Youssof from the Islamic bookstore in the heart of Sydney’s Muslim community in Lakemba.

In many Middle Eastern

countries colourful lanterns are displayed during Ramadan.

“Last year we introduced a range of Ramadan lanterns that light up and we couldn’t keep up” added Youssof.

Al Wasat spoke with Ahmed Imam from Ali-Gator who

started a small range of Ramadan & Eid banners and flags six years ago to service to compliment their children’s book range. Since those early days Ali-Gator has decorated many restaurants, mosques and even some Woolworths supermarkets with their range of decorations.

“It’s great knowing that you are contributing to a families spiritual experience during Ramadan. Sewing that seed of the love of Ramadan into a

young heart, is very rewarding and satisfying”, explained Ahmed.

Today Ali-Gator distributes their Ramadan & Eid products not only in Australia but also into the UK and USA and is now a leader in this niche market.

“And it’s not just for young children these days, There is a growth in people wanting more elegant decorations for adults” added Sr Firhana from IBCSHOPPING. “Our customers are so happy when they have a thought in their mind as to how they want to lay out that special Iftar for family and friends and they find exactly what they were looking for”.

Everyone Al Wasat spoke to shared the view that online sales are also growing as Muslims all over the country get into the Ramadan spirit.

Today the selections on how to Ramadan decorate your house, school, office or shop are many. From lights and lanterns, to banners and flags and of course balloons. DIY and craft decorations are still an option, but it seems many are frequenting Muslim stores across Australia to get their dates and prayers calendars and now their Ramadan decorations too.

HEALTHY MARRIAGE TIPS

Know and Fulfill the Rights of Your Spouse Allah is AlHakeem – The All-Wise.

From the wisdom of The Legislator is that He has imposed laws outlining duties of a husband and wife that have been legislated to be adhered to and not ignored or challenged.

Knowing the rights of your spouse and implementing them is instrumental to a thriving marriage. It’s not in your best interest to challenge the injunctions laid out by Allah and His Messenger or try and justify a wrong decision or action. There

is no shortage of resources that outline the rights of spouses that are legislated from the One who knows what is best for us. Bottom line: If you are not married, learn about the rights of the husband and wife. If you are married, be sure to learn these rights also and ensure you are implementing them.

Through knowledge and implementation you avoid oppressing yourself, your spouse and set yourself up for a fulfilling and blessed marriage. May Allah bless you with an unshakeable healthy marriage – Aameen.

Fasting: between good health and fitness 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.” (At-Tibb AnNabawi) www.ramadaniat.ws

Message from the Principal Assalamu Alaikum WBT

RAMADAN The atmosphere of Ramadan is felt especially with the Ramadan greetings and decorations around the school. There will be early dismissals for students at 3.00pm and staff at 3.30pm. The timetables have been adjusted accordingly. The whole College community will be having an extra week holiday during the last week of Term 2 with the last day of school being 23 June. The College will reopen after the term break on Monday 17 July for Term 3. Eid Fitr is likely to be on Monday 26 June subject to the moon sighting.

Just a few dua’s during Ramadan: Dua at the Beginning of the Fast Nawaitu sauma ghadin anadai fardu syahri ramadhana hadzihissanati lillahitaala I intend to do obligatory fast tomorrow in the month of Ramadan this year because of Allah Dua at the End of the Fast Allahumma inni laka sumtu wa bika aamantu wa alayka tawakkaltu wa ala rizq-ikaaftartu O Allah! I fasted for You and I believe in You and I put my trust in You and I break my fast with Your sustenance Abu Huraira (Allah be pleased with him) reported: When any one of you gets up in the morning in the state of fasting, he should neither use obscene language nor do any act of ignorance. And if anyone slanders himor quarrels with him, he should say:” I am fasting, I am fasting.”

TARAWEEH Taraweeh is another major Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) that is specific to the month of Ramadan.

There are numerous hadiths in the books that show that Prophet (PBUH) used to stand in prayer after Isha during the month of Ramadan. Moreover, He also offered this prayer in the form of a congregation as well. Therefore, a Muslim must also ensure that the Sunnah of Taraweeh is fulfilled throughout the month of Ramadan.

ITKAAF It is narrated by Abu Said Al-Khudri that: “Allah’s Apostle used to practice Itikaf in the middle ten days of Ramadan and once he stayed in Itikaf till the night of the twenty-first and it was the night in the morning of which he used to come out of his Itikaf.

The Prophet said, “Whoever was in Itikaf with me should stay in Itikaf for the last ten days, for I was informed (of the date) of the Night (of Qadr) but I have been caused to forget it. (In the dream) I saw myself prostrating in mud and water in the morning of that night. So, look for it in the last ten nights and in the odd ones of them.” It rained that night and the roof of the mosque

dribbled as it was made of leaf stalks of date-palms. I saw with my own eyes the mark of mud and water on the forehead of the Prophet (i.e. in the morning of the twenty-first).” (Bukhari) From this hadith the importance of Itkaaf is clear and a Muslim must also try performing Itikaf during the last ten days of Ramadan in order to get the maximum blessings by getting closer to Allah Almighty and make the full use of this holy month and the blessed night in it.

It was narrated from ‘Aishah that she said: “O Messenger of Allah, what do you think I should say in my supplication, if I come upon Laylatul-Qadr?”

He said: “Say: ‘Allahumma innaka ‘afuwwun tuhibbul’afwa, fa’fu ‘anni (O Allah, You are Forgiving and love forgiveness, so forgive me).’”

QURAN COMPETITION This year, the Annual Quran Competition will be not be held during Ramadan, but closer to Adha in September.

In view of larger number of participants, the Annual Quran Competition will be held on two separate days - 13 September for Primary and 14 September for Secondary. Parents and students will be notified of the details as they become available.

I take this opportunity to wish all staff members and the community the blessings of Ramadan. Please be patient and may the blessings from Allah (swt) be upon you.

Principal’s Message

Our Philosophical Statement Education, a life-long journey, is Learning to Know, to Do, to Be and to Live Together.

The values of Openness and Tolerance as expressed in the Teachings of Islam and the Australian Democratic Principles are integral to this definition of learning.

Learning to Know Although it is important to teach children how to read, write and to understand mathematics, it is also crucial to teach them learning to learn, so as to benefit from the opportunities education provides throughout life.

To Do

Students are continually given the opportunities to apply the knowledge they acquire.

These opportunities equip them with the competence to

deal with many situations and work in teams. In all areas of learning students are given the opportunity to explore and experiment.

To Be

The values of integrity, trust and respect are the integral parts of the teaching at the Islamic College of Melbourne.

Through teaching of Islamic studies and Quran students develop the ability to act with greater autonomy, judgment and personal responsibility.

To Live Together

We are committed to fostering a community of learners, and to provide an academic curriculum that develops a broad knowledge base, while promoting the skills of critical and creative thinking.

We seek to do this with a challenging and supportive Islamic environment which develops individuals as both independent and collaborative learners.

Our highly qualified teachers are passionate and enthusiastic educators who inspire students to achieve outstanding results academically as well as in sports, cultural, environment and leadership programs.

I ask Allah SWT to guide me to fulfil it and I plan to dedicate all my time, energy, passion, relations and experience towards the development of the Islamic College of Melbourne and the wellbeing of its students and staff.

At the Islamic College of Melbourne we believe learning occurs through collaboration and interaction within the family unit and within the school, local, wider Australian and global communities. The social, emotional, physical, spiritual, academic and aesthetic development of our students is pivotal to their success at school, within their families and the communities to which they belong.

Islamic College of Melbourne History The Islamic College of Melbourne (ICOM) was registered on the 1st of February, 2011. The school opened its doors for the first lot of students on the 7th of February, 2011. Ninety seven students were arranged in four groups ranging from Prep to Year 4. The classes commenced in newly constructed demountable buildings and staff and students were excited to begin the year. It was such a memorable experience and one of many milestones for the school.

At present, the school has over 970 students enrolled and 98 staff members employed, ranging from teachers, support and administration staff.

The Islamic College of Melbourne is a co-educational institute which is currently offering Prep to Year 11 and insha’Allah Year 12 by 2018.

Students are provided with opportunities to develop skills that will carry them beyond their school years. We offer excellence in Quran instruction, modern curriculum in relation to the secular subjects, hands on and practical approach to all the subjects, including the extracurricular activities. Our curriculum is diverse, and is taught by experienced and highly qualified teachers.

Multiculturalism includes the Australian work culture

Dr. Berhan Ahmed

Getting and holding down a job means young people can be financially independent, not living off welfare benefits which are likely to be harder to come by. And the widespread community rejection of the workings of the Victorian legal system will lead to changes to young people’s dealings with the law if they choose to go down that path.

Getting and holding down a job and getting a better job when the opportunity arises - means being able to work in the way that business wants and expects.

It’s known as work culture. All countries and communities have a work culture. Hours and days of work vary, and so do such benefits as holidays and insurance coverage.

The mainstream “Australian Work Culture” often is different from the work culture where many of Australia’s migrants come from. Of course, migrant businesses can keep to their own work traditions if it suits their clients - so long as they don’t break Australian law.

But it’s not hard to fit into the mainstream Australian work culture if you are genuine about starting a successful working life with all the benefits that brings.

One work issue in Australia probably tops all others in importance - getting

to work on time. Most businesses work for certain hours, and so do their workers. That will be the prime ingredient in the agreement made between the employer and the employee. For an employee, work is not “when I feel like it”. It’s when the boss wants to do business, make a profit and be able to pay you for your work.

The first rule of any employment contract is that if you can’t get to work on time, you give your employer as much warning as you can. If you neglect to do that, your job will be at risk - rightly if you continue to not get to work on time. Same with leaving work if there is a pressing need.

Other than that primary “Rule”, the mainstream Australian work culture can be pretty flexible, though it does depend on the type of job. “Teabreaks” and “Smokoes” are still common on building sites, while some “white-collar” jobs are flexible with their hours and so are entertainment and new technology industry jobs.

The Australian work culture reflects the main values that the mainstream of Australia holds, which includes tolerance of other cultures that people bring when they settle in Australia.

The main pillars work behaviour are respect for the worth and dignity of fellow workers and equality of opportunity no matter what gender, marital status, religion, nationality, disability or sexual preference employees have.

What do Australian employers want from their staff? The want skills in communication, problem-solving, planning and organising and selfmanagement, the ability to work in teams, the desire for ongoing learning, and last but definitely not least - initiative. Generally, employers want their employees to want to be ambitious, even be a boss down the track.

The majority of Australian workplaces - but not all - are often less hierarchical (less “bossy”) and more easy-going than workplaces elsewhere. Here are a few examples of how Australian workplaces can differ a lot from work

in other countries: • Asking questions if you don’t understand something. This is different to most other cultures, where the boss is viewed as a person of authority who has more wisdom than employees, and employees must show total respect by not bothering the boss. Australian employers want to help you learn and understand so that you can do a good job.

• Trying to do the work you are given - and a bit extra to show you are keen.

When someone asks an Australian to do an extra task at work, they will usually take on the extra work and not say they are too busy to do it. If

you say that you are too busy, your coworkers or boss will assume that you cannot handle the workload.

• It’s OK to disagree with someone at work - carefully and with respect.

Alternative opinions might help the business work better.

• Australians say “please” and “thank you” a lot, even when someone is just doing their job, like a waiter or a shop assistant. This is because in Australian culture, it is important to show respect.

Remember: the Australian workplace is increasingly diverse. More than 40% of Australians were born overseas or have a parent who was born overseas. Diversity also extends to marital status, gender, sexual preference and age. This does not apply to all workplaces. There are still some industry sectors or work settings which are very homogenous.

But one thing is always the same: the aim of business is to make profits.

Work is not a social club or something to do when you have nothing else to do. Employees are given jobs to do and they are there to get the jobs done.

Ramadan Mubarak to all Muslims

In it there is a night which is better than a thousand

GIFT OF KINDNESS

Reflections on Ramadan Jamilah Samian

I am walking down memory lane, back to the little village in Johor, south of Malaysia where I was born and raised. I recall vividly when Ramadan was in the air, a special time for everyone, especially little children like me, when the daily schedule changed to mark the fasting month. Parents would get out of their way to wake up early to dish out the predawn meal (sahur). Later in the evening, to prepare for the sweetmeats their children were craving for, to encourage them to start fasting.

Ramadan, I learnt early, is a lot of things.

Above all, it’s an opportunity to connect with God. You need to recite the Qur’an even more, reflect on its meaning, work on your understanding, infuse it in your life.

It’s also a time to grow and

mend relationships with God’s creations – the people you know who you might have offended willingly or otherwise, you must ask for their forgiveness – and other living beings.

Children are taught that when you give up eating and drinking, it must be done willingly. Also, staying away from food and drink is the physical side, you MUST refrain from hurting others through backbiting, slander or such because your fasting may become invalid and not be accepted by God if you cross the line this way.

Ramadan is about mercy, generosity, making amends, cleansing your heart free of grudges.

The best way is through intrinsic motivation. You feel good because you know you have behaved well and therefore God willing, it will

be accepted by Him. Children are not required to fast before puberty but it’s good to train them early.

How long should each child fast varies as each child is different.

For younger children, perhaps they can skip one meal. It’s good to encourage them to wake up for the predawn meal and break their fast (iftar) with everyone else although they are not fasting the whole day, so they can feel the excitement.

When a young child is able to fast, give him the honour of leading the prayer recitation (duaa) at iftar time.

Maybe he can fast some days, then break some days.

Maybe he can fast on weekends, not fast school days, or some schooldays. The idea is, be flexible.

Get them involved in preparing the food and drink

for breaking of fast.

Some children really want to be part of it despite the fatigue and would insist on continuing to fast even though their parents ask them to eat something. I have seen several of these cases, some kids as young as five, though I did a full day fast at a later age.

The purpose is to make Ramadan memorable and something they look forward to each year.Build the anticipation and therefore, the desire. It’s about mental and physical preparation.

Diversify the food and drink. You know what your children like and dislike. It’s okay to spoil them a little in terms of choice of food, as long it’s within budget, but

overeating is totally out. In fact, the Ramadan buffet that’s common in some cities is against the spirit of the holy month. Adults and children gorge on food as though they haven’t eaten for months and then miss the night prayer.

It’s against the essence of Ramadan itself.

Tell your children stories about your own Ramadan as a child.

Until now I remember very well what I used to eat and drink during Ramadan. The simplest things could be the most delicious! For example, mine was syrup with ice. We didn’t have our own fridge, so ice had to be bought just before iftar, from the shop 10 minutes away (we would ride our bicycle to get there). The

ice block was wrapped in wood shavings and old newspaper to slow down the rate of melting.

What fond memories!

The predawn meal was equally exciting because of the “family togetherness”.

Despite the tiredness, hunger and thirst, Ramadan remains one of the best and memorable parts of my childhood.

Speak Kindly to

People

The blessed month of Ramadan is the month of generosity, charity and competing in doing good deeds whether verbal or practical.

Among the verbal good deeds is speaking kind words that do not harm.

It is known that the words uttered by man are recorded and preserved in a book; My Lord neither errs nor forgets.

This fact was stated in the Quran in the context of many situations and verses so that man may take himself to account and be mindful of his tongue.

Allah The Exalted Says (what means): {Man does not utter any word except that with him is an observer prepared [to record]} [Quran 50:18] {Or do they think that We hear not their secrets and their private conversations?

Yes, [We do], and Our messengers are with them recording} [Quran 43:80]

There are many verses in this respect and the purpose is to make the slave realize that all that he utters is recorded – either for or against him. If he adheres to good words in all his conditions, nothing will be recorded in his book except goodness that pleases him on the Day of Resurrection and vice versa.

This is in compliance with the order of Allah The Almighty, Who Orders His slaves to select the best expressions and the most beautiful words as He Says (what means): {And speak to people good [words]}[Quran 2: 83], i.e. when you speak to one another in order to spread affinity, affection and the spirit of brotherhood and to remove the reasons of abandonment, severance

and enmity. Yahya ibn Mu‘aath ArRaazi may Allaah have mercy upon him said, “Treat the believer in the following three manners in order to become among the good-doers; if you do not benefit him, do not harm him, if you do not please him, do not depress him and if you do not praise him, do not dispraise him.”

Allah The Exalted Says (what means): {And tell My servants to say that which is best. Indeed, Satan induces [dissension] among them. Indeed Satan is ever, to mankind, a clear enemy} [Quran 17:53] The prominent scholar ‘Abdul-Rahmaan ibn Naasir As-Sa‘di may Allaah have mercy upon him said, “It is from the Kindness of Allah to His slaves that He ordered them to adhere to the best morals, deeds and words that bring about happiness in the life of this world and in the Hereafter. Allah The Almighty Says (what means): {tell My servants to say that which is best} [Quran 17:53] This order encompasses all that may bring one closer to Allah The Almighty such as reciting the Quran, remembrance of Him, seeking and disseminating knowledge, enjoining good, forbidding evil and good gentle words to all creatures regardless of their different levels and ranks. If one is to choose between two matters, Allah The Almighty commands us to prefer the one that is the better of the two if it is difficult to combine both.

Good words call to good morals and righteous deeds. He who is able to control his tongue is able to control all his affairs.

DATES

Dates contain the most significant group of vitamins, minerals and simple sugars Abduldaem Al-Kaheel

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.

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.

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 Time for Opportunities

Dr Suleyman Sertkaya Lecturer at Charles Sturt University/ISRA

Fasting during the month of Ramadan has great meaning for Muslims. It is an obligatory worship observed by millions of people around the globe.

The meaning of the Arabic word Ramadan, says a lot about the whole experience of fasting. Literally meaning ‘intense heat and scorched ground,’ it exemplifies, for Muslims, the physical exertion required to attain the highest station of submission to God. Refraining from food and drink from predawn to sunset, believers assume the qualities of angelic beings. With the heart being directed away from worldly activities, the fasting believer becomes receptive to the highest spiritual attributes and is able to discern the inner dimensions of their being. The physical body is no longer an obstacle to the spiritual, allowing one’s spirit to breathe and even blossom.

Ramadan is a month dedicated to intensive worship and devotion to God, reading the Qur’an and reflecting on its teachings, of comprehensive thanksgiving, giving charity, practicing self-control and kindness, training oneself to be a better person spiritually and improving relationships with others. The Prophet (pbuh), through divine inspiration, divided this month into three sections, each consisting of 10 days, the first of which is called “rahmah,” the mercy of God, the second called “magfirah,” the forgiveness of God, and the last 10 days are called, “nejah,” or deliverance.

I prefer to describe this holy month as “a month of opportunities”. So what do we mean by “opportunities”?

First of all, it is an opportunity for self-control and a means for selfdiscipline. Fasting is not just about abstaining from food and drink, but it is also a struggle to refrain from any destructive impulses of the carnal desires.

In this regard, Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) remarked that “If one does not abandon lies and acting on lies while fasting, then God has no need for him to give up food or drink.” Let me give a clear example deducted from another Prophetic tradition: “If another person verbally abuses you, acts ignorantly towards you or even hurts you, one should respond by saying “I am fasting! I am indeed fasting.” Therefore, in the true Islamic understanding, during Ramadan not only one’s organs, but also one’s thoughts and emotions need to be restrained.

The month of Ramadan is also called “the month of the Qur’an”. The reason being is, the first verses of

the Qur’an were revealed during this month and there are several other verses that signify the importance of this month in the Holy Qur’an. Due to the Prophet’s encouragement, believers regard this month as an opportunity to read more of the Kitab Allah , to contemplate and internalize its teachings. This is supported by the Qur’an itself as the first revealed, “Iqra”, which means, “read”. So what is meant by “read”? It is one single word that encompasses many meanings. Considering the context of the revelation and the verses that follow, it is interpreted as reading one’s self, the universe and the Qur’an and endeavouring to decipher the mystery of creation. Thus, the month of Ramadan is a brilliant opportunity

to strive on this path.

The month of Ramadan can also be seen as an opportunity for believers to develop and strengthen their spirituality. The act of fasting allows one’s spiritual aspect to supress their animalistic side or physical tendencies. Observing the fast of Ramadan breaks the carnal self’s (or ego) illusory lordship. Fasting reminds the ego that it is innately helpless, convinces it that it is a servant. A quality of the carnal ego is that it does not like to recognize its Lord. Therefore, it obstinately claims lordship even while suffering. Only hunger alters such a temperament.

God’s messenger relates that God Almighty asked the carnal ego, “Who am I, and who are you? It replied,

“You are yourself, and I am myself”.

Although it was punished a number of times, the response did not change.

But when he subjected it to hunger, it replied “You are my All-Compassionate Lord; I am your impotent servant.”

Therefore, Ramadan humbles human beings, and makes them realise their weaknesses and dependence on the Grace of God. Another important component of Ramadan is social interaction.

Social events, such as iftar dinner gatherings, provide an opportunity for unity, collectiveness and dialogue between people who come from many different cultural backgrounds and social status to come together and “break bread”, share ideas, not only talk with one another but more importantly listen to each other.

The spirit of Ramadan and fasting enables many wealthy and selfindulgent people to empathize with those who suffer from poverty and hunger. The only way to perceive the pain of hunger and poverty is to experience it firsthand. This can be achieved through fasting and once this is internalized, it urges people to reach out a helping hand for the less fortunate all around the world as Ramadan is also a time of generosity People are more generous, more cordial, and more ready than other times of the year to do good and charitable work. Muslims often invite one another, friends and guests, in particular neighbours, to share the iftar dinner and exchange gifts and best wishes. This generosity gives Muslims a chance to reflect the Divine Name al Karim, as Allah is the most generous and the most munificent.

Ramadan: a call for return and reform The month of generosity and giving Another blessing of the month of Ramadan is the increase in brotherhood, mutual love, care, and generosity and charity towards the poor and the needy. The meetings of the Suhoor, the pre-dawn meal, and the Iftaar, the post- dusk breakfast, are supposed to be the epitome of joy and manifestations of brotherly and familial love and rejoice. At these times, the Muslims who have these blessings are supposed to think and care about those less fortunate than them, those who do not have loving fathers and mothers to care for them and provide them with nutritious meals and soothing comfort, those women who no longer have caring husbands to provide for them and protect them, those families that do not have the wherewithal to afford

such meals. These meals are supposed to be meals of gratitude and meals of sharing, not of decadent luxury and wastefulness. These meals are supposed to be simple and modest because they are accompanied by charity and giving and sharing anything that is not necessary ought to be given away to the poor and the needy.

Those who fast during the day and experience the pangs of pain are supposed to remember the hunger and deprivation of those who starve out of poverty and helplessness.

Those who pray during the night next to each other are supposed to be one brotherhood— all members of which are like one body, and when any of its members gets hurt, all the rest of the body feels the pain. Hence, these nightly prayers in congregation

remind the believers of each other and their rights upon each other. None of the Muslims, therefore, is forgotten, and no one overeats, overspends, or overindulges—because they give all they can in charity to those who need it.

Yet, is this what really happens?!

How far have we come from the teachings of the Prophet sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam who said that you are not a believer if you sleep well-fed while your neighbor is hungry- how many believers are hungry, deprived and needy while many overspend and waste away their food and clothing in ostentation and wanton competition?!

There are Muslim countries in which tons of food is wasted away annually, enough to feed a continent of hungry people, and then there are Muslim regions in which people routinely

starve to death or kill and get killed for scrapes of food!! This is the state of the followers of the Prophet who was more generous than the wind which indiscriminately gives anyone and everyone. Ibn ‘Abbaas, may Allah be pleased with him, narrated that “the Messenger of Allah was the most generous of people, and he was at his most generous during Ramadan... at that time the Messenger of Allah would be more generous than the blowing wind.”

[Al-Bukhari and Muslim]

The month of reform The month of Ramadan is the time of holding ourselves accountable, reforming ourselves and returning to our Lord before we are held accountable and have no chance of reform or return.

To those of us who are heedless of Allah and are lost in the deceptions of this world, this is the chance to turn about and return to the Most Generous Lord.

To those who are given to usurp others’ rights by hurting or killing them or stealing from them, now is the chance to return and repent.

To those who are given to sexual promiscuity, seeking enjoyment in illicit sights and pleasures, and wanton display of their beauty that Allah has prohibited, now is the chance to purify themselves and return to Allah.

To those given to drinking and

drugs and the wasting away of their wealth, minds and time, now is the time to give up their evil ways and return to their Most Merciful Lord.

To those who deal in interest and take it lightly, now is the chance to purify their wealth and cease their war against Allah Almighty and His Messenger sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his mention ) before it is too late.

To those who are disobedient and uncaring towards their parents, now is the chance to repent and beg for the Mercy of Allah and make up to their parents.

To us all, now is the time to repent and return. islamweb.net

Our example, the Messenger would give the last morsel of food that he sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his mention ) had, and the last piece of clothing that he sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his mention) had on.

While we Muslims today have become some of the most divided nations in which the disparity of the wealth in the world is the greatest!

Zakat Al-Mal

104

THIS PAGE IS SPONSORED BY

Zakat: A Pillar of Islam Zakat is an annual tithe on one’s wealth or possessions and is one of Islam’s obligations and one of its five main pillars. The Prophet Muhammad PBUH said: “Islam was built upon five pillars: to witness that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger, performing prayer, giving alms (Zakat), performing the pilgrimage, and fasting the month of Ramadan.” [Sahih Al Bukhari]

Always with you on the road to goodness.

What are the Benefits of Zakat?

There are a lot of benefits in giving charity and especially the Zakah. These benefits are mentioned in the Quran and Sunna. Here are some of them: 1. Satisfying Allah SWT and gaining His pleasure, and then gaining Paradise in the Hereafter, as the duty of paying Zakat is a kind of worship ordered by Allah SWT. 2.

Purifying the soul from selfishness and purifying the heart from the love of the material.

3. Protecting the society from crime as the poor people would be satisfied by what the rich people pay to them. At-Tabarani relates in al-’Awsat and as-Saghir, on the authority of ‘Ali, that the Prophet (PBUH) said, “Allah has enjoined upon rich Muslims a due to be taken from their properties corresponding to the needs of the poor among them”. The poor will never suffer from starvation or lack of clothes unless the rich neglect their due. If they do, Allah will surely hold them accountable and punish them severely.”

4.

Uniting the society where the poor feel the brotherhood with the rich and vice versa.

Eid Clothing One of the preferred sunnah acts on the day of Eid is to wear new clothes and to present nicely to others, as a demonstration of your happiness on such days. This is especially the case for children, who might enjoy and appreciate their new clothes on a different level.

Unfortunately thousands of children on this day do not enjoy this sort of celebration and happiness, because their parents or gaurdians (if any) cannot afford to provide for such occasions.

To participate in this great deed, donors can place any amount they wish towards purchasing clothes for these needy kids, and enable them to enjoy their Eid as was intended.

Who must give the Zakat?

There are conditions that must be satisfied by the person in order to give Zakat. In brief, these conditions are: 1. Islam. The person must be a Muslim.

2. Adulthood. The Zakat is not needed from a child 3. Sanity. The Zakat is not a must from an insane person.

4. Owning the money that is in excess of what’s needed for necessities.

5. The Nisab. It is a minimum amount of money that is owned by a person before Zakat Al-Mal can be levied. The Nisab for gold is 85 grams and for silver, it is 595 grams.

6. The Nisab must be kept one year by the owner.

This Ramadan, Fast, Pray & Give Together.

Zakat Al-Fitr What is Zakat Al-Fitr?

Zakat Al-Fitr is a small charitable donation that Muslims are obliged to pay at the end of Ramadan. The origin of the obligation can be dated to the month of Sha`ban in the second year of Hijrah. Ibn `Umar said: “Allah’s Messenger enjoined the payment of one Sa` of dates or one Sa` of barley as Zakat Al-Fitr on every Muslim slave or free, male or female, young or old, and he ordered that it be paid before the people went out to offer the `Eid prayer.”

It is permissible to pay the value of “Alsa’a” in the form of monetary, as it is more beneficial to the poor, easier in this era, and it is the doctrine of Al-Hanaf, narrated by Omar bin Abdulaziz and Hassan Al-Basri.

Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) said: “The most beloved of people to Allah are the most beneficial to people. The most beloved of actions to Allah is to cause happiness to reach a Muslim, to relieve him/her from a hardship, to settle a debt for a Muslim or to repel hunger ...”.

(At-Tabarani)

When is Zakat Al-Fitr paid?

It is not permissible to delay giving Zakat Al-Fitr after the day of Eid. Most scholars believe that it is permissible to pay Zakat Al-Fitr a day or two before Eid. Ibn Umar reported that the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) ordered them to pay Zakat Al-Fitr before the people went out to perform the `Eid prayer. However some scholars like Al-Shafii & Abu Hanifa reported that it is permissible to pay Zakat Al-Fitr even in the beginning of Ramadan. Scholars who supported this opinion explained that it is better for the needy, and also to make sure that the payment reaches its intended destination. This is especially important these days as Zakat Al-Fitr is transferred from country to another and that may take at least several days.

Fidya If Ramadaan comes and a person is unable to fast because he is elderly or sick with no hope of recovery, then he is not obliged to fast because he is unable to do so. So he should not fast and he should feed one poor person for each day.

Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): “O you who believe! Observing AsSawm (the fasting) is prescribed for you as it was prescribed for those before you, that you may become Al-Muttaqoon (the pious).

184. [Observing Sawm (fasts)] for a fixed number of days, but if any of you is ill or on a journey, the same number (should be made up) from other days. And as for those who can fast with difficulty, (e.g. an old man), they have (a choice either to fast or) to feed a Miskeen (poor person) (for every day). But whoever does good of his own accord, it is better for him. And that you fast is better for you if only you know” [al-Baqarah 2:183-184] al-Bukhaari (4505) narrated that Ibn ‘Abbaas said: This has not been abrogated. It refers to old men and old women who are not able to fast, so they should feed a poor person for each day.

Sadaqa A Sadaqa is a donation given voluntarily for the sake of Allah to poor people, providing them with the necessities of life. A donor can make a general donation (otherwise known as Sadaqa) at any time.

The Best Charity Is That Given Out Of What We Make And Earn The Prophet (PBUH) said: “The best earning is that which your hands have earned; whenever a man spends on himself, or his family, children and servant, it is considered as a charity for him (Narrated by Ibn Majja)”.

Our Wealth Will Not Decrease If We Give In Charity Allah (SWT) promised to replace everything that we give in charity, and Allah (SWT) is true to His promise. Allah (SWT) said in the Quran: “Say: Verily my Lord enlarges and restricts the Sustenance to such of His servants as He pleases: and what you spend in charity He replaces it: for He is the Best of those who grant Sustenance (Saba 34 : 39)”. Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) emphasised this concept when He said: “No money ever decreases because of charity”.

53rd AFIC Congress of Muslims Australia

The Australian Federation of Islamic Councils held it 53rd Annual Congress in Sydney from Saturday 6 May to Sun 7 May and has elected a new executive committee led by Dr Rateb Jneid, its Perth based President.

Sydney AFIC also known as Muslim Australia supposedly represents Australian Muslims with a three-tier structure on local, state and federal level and its annual congress gathered delegates from all states of Australia including ACT, Northern Territory and Christmas Island from member societies as well as state councils.

The new Executive Committee of AFIC and the office-bearers will hold office for the next three years: • Dr Rateb Jneid from Perth, WA was elected as the New President.

• Mr Jamal El Kholed from Queensland was elected as the new Vice President.

• Mr Harun Abdullah from Tasmania was re-elected as the Secretary.

• Dr Abul Khair Jalaluddin from, Sydney, NSW continues as the Treasurer.

• Mr Kazim Ates from Melbourne, Victoria was elected as Assistant Secretary, • Mr Bilal Refai was elected as Assistant Treasurer.

• Mr Sabrija Poskovic was

elected as an executive committee member.

As per AFIC tradition, the Annual Congress Dinner was held to celebrate the 53rd anniversary of Muslims Australia on Sunday 7 May at the Stamford Plaza Sydney Airport hotel.

The inter-state delegates and Muslim leaders were joined by many other members of the Muslim community of Sydney as well as representatives of multicultural and interfaith groups, political leaders, Imams, academics, diplomats and business leaders.

The event was MC’d by Mr Keysar Trad who graciously accepted his defeat at the elections and conveyed his best wishes to Dr Jneid.

Dr Jneid while addressing the guests at the Congress Dinner assured that AFIC under his leadership will be transparent and will work hand in hand with the AFIC State Councils and member Societies to uplift the image of AFIC. He thanked the outgoing Executive Committee and its President Mr Keysar Trad for their performance during the difficult times.

Imam Jasmin during his keynote address as the guest speaker drew attention to AFIC’s legacy for the last five decades and the positive contributions of this umbrella body of Muslims during the last 53 years in spite of some recent setbacks.

The Greens leader Senator Dr Richard Di Natale stated his strong support for refugees and minorities and acknowledged the great contributions to Australia by Muslims.

The event started with a moving recitation of Quran by Sheikh Khalid and dua in his melodious voice by Maulana Nazeerul Hasan Thanvi. Other speakers at the congress included Sheikh Yahya Safi and Father Mansour.

A colourful Annual Report covering the period of 2016-2017 was circulated during the Congress Dinner highlighting the activities and achievements of AFIC including its pledge to follow best practice models in financial management, undergo constitutional review and in developing a strategic vision and future directions of AFIC.

Zakat Al-Maal and Zakat Al-Fitr 1438H-2017 Australian National Imams Council The Holy month of Ramadan is a season of fast, prayer, Quran and charity. Muslims around the world will be preparing themselves in dedication to Allah Almighty and the rewards He will offer his servants during this sacred month.

Acts of worship in Ramadan are highly regarded and the reward is far greater due the sacredness of the month and for that reason, many Muslims tend to perform their annual alms giving (Zakat) obligations throughout this Holy month.

A common question asked every year is what is the threshold (Nisab) of Zakat Al-Maal, the amount for Zakat Al-Fitr and how is it translated into a monetary amount?

Sam Dastyari and Crescent Institute lead talks on Inclusion in Australia

The Australian National Imams Council has determined the threshold (Nisab) of Zakat AlMaal is 85 (Eighty-Five) GRAMS of 24 Karat Gold obtained from the listed price on the stock market.

Gold Price as from the 27th of May 2017, 24 Karate, Per 1 Gram is $54.70 AUD. (85 Grams X $54.70 = $4,649.5 AUD) Therefore the threshold (Nisab) of Zakat Al-Maal will be $4,649.5 AUD. As for Zakat Al-Fitr it will be set at $12 per person for this year 1438H -2017.

The Australian National Imams Council also recommends all Muslims to give their charities to registered and reputable organisations.

On behalf of all the member Imams of the Australian National Imams Council, we wish the Muslim community of Australia and around the world a blessed Ramadan.

MP Rob Mitchell relives childhood in visit to Ilim College Mohammad Safar Federal member for McEwen Rob Mitchell visited the Ilim College Dallas Campus on the third of May. Mitchell, who was a Dallas local, had a chance to reminisce and relive old memories of his time at Broadmeadows Technical School (current Ilim College Dallas Campus) and Dallas Primary School (current Ilim College Kiewa Campus).

Mitchell’s visit was a great one for both Ilim College and himself, and we can definitely hope to see a repeat of it in the future.

Child Safe Standards Training at Emir Sultan Mosque ICV

Mohammad Safar Crescent Institute, in conjunction with the Islamic Museum of Australia held their first discussion on multiculturalism in Australia in Victoria for 2017 on

May 16.

The event, which featured guest speaker Senator Sam Dastyari, and was promptly titled ‘Halal Snack Pack Diplomacy’, is just one of a series of similar talks around the country tackling multiculturalism in Australia.

The talks highlighted the way forward for a more inclusive and accepting Australia, and were a great success with many participants leaving with a sense of empowerment.

Crescent Institute also donated $500 to the The Exodus Foundation, Sam’s nominated charity on his behalf.

On Saturday the 13th of May, ICV held a training session on the new Child Safe Standards at Emir Sultan Mosque in Dandenong. This was the 5th workshop on the standards with previous ones being held in the South-East, North and Western Suburbs of Melbourne. The session was well attended by the local community and facilitated by ICV Cross Cultural Consultant Ilker Abak. Particular emphasis was placed on organisational compliance and the rationale behind strengthening them, information on the seven standards, and a set of tools and guides to help each organisation to implement them.

Child Safe Standards aims to prevent the physical, sexual and emotional abuse or neglect of children. The leadership of all organisations has the responsibility to implement policies for their organisations that achieve these standards.

Victorian law requires organisations that work with children to meet the Child Safe Standards which have been in place since 1 January 2017.

Ramadan, an opportunity to change

By: Sheikh Alaa Elzokm Imam of Heidelberg mosque Board of imams Victoria What a great blessing from Allah (SWT) to make us from those who are alive to receive the blessed month of Ramadan! It is a great blessing that so many people are deprived from due to their death just before Ramadan, many of which had the intention of making use of this blessed month as a great opportunity for them to repent to Allah (SWT) and change themselves for the better. Thus, we have to thank Allah (SWT) for the blessing of receiving the month of Ramadan by words and actions. We must do our

best with the various acts of worship and continue to self-evaluate our status with Allah (SWT) and rectify our mistakes in order to try to improve our relationship with our Lord. This is what prophet Mohammad (PBUH) meant when he described the Muslim who is consistently evaluating himself, when he said: “A wise man is the one who calls himself to account (and refrains from doing evil deeds) and does noble deeds to benefit him after death; and the foolish person is the one who subdues himself to his temptations and desires and seeks

from Allah (SWT) the fulfilment of his vain desires”.

- Ramadan is the opportunity to change: for those who have transgressed against themselves by sinning, to repent to Allah (SWT) sincerely during the blessed days of Ramadan, in which Allah (SWT) frees people from the hellfire as the prophet Mohammad (PBUH) said “Verily, Allah (SWT) frees people from the Hell at the time of iftar (breaking the fast) and this happens every night”.

- Ramadan is the opportunity to change: for those who are not consistent with their prayers or do not attend to the mosque, to start being consistent with the different special prayers in Ramadan such as Taraweeh and Tahajjud. This will enable them to continue with their prayers after Ramadan.

- Ramadan is the opportunity to change: for those who abandoned reciting Qur’an and reflecting upon it, to recite just one juz’ everyday to finish the entire Qur’an by the end of Ramadan and to take this as a start to continue this throughout the year.

- Ramadan is the opportunity to change: for those who are cutting the relationship with their parents, mistreating them or not maintaining the tie of kinship, the action that results in non-acceptance of the deeds and acts of worship in Ramadan and all the months as prophet Mohammad (PBUH) said “ The deeds of the sons of Adam are shown to Allah (SWT) every Thursday evening before Jumu’ah and the deeds of the one who is not maintaining the tie of kinship are not accepted”. For those, Ramadan is an opportunity to change and to start

contacting their parents and treating them kindly as Allah (SWT) ordered, and to maintain the tie of kinship to ensure their deeds in Ramadan are accepted.

- And finally, Ramadan is the opportunity for all of us to make Duaa to Allah (SWT) to change our status and the status of the Muslim nation in general to the better, but before that we have to believe with both heart and mind that Allah (SWT) will never change our status to the better before we start the change ourselves.

We must always remember the saying of Allah (SWT) in the Qur’an “Indeed, Allah will not change the condition of a people until they change what is in themselves”.

“Ramadan Mubarak to the Muslims in Australia and all over the world”.

‘Hello, We Are Muslims’ Hands out Roses in Australia and around the world

On Saturday 29 April 2017, Islamic Community Mılli Gorus (ICMG) has conducted a campaign called “Hello, I am a Muslim” in the CBD’s of Melbourne and Sydney by opening up stands manned by young Muslims who actively particiapated in community engagement by handing

out roses to passers by and engaging them in a friendly conversation, as well as informing them about Islam and the principles of the Islamic fatih.

From 4 stands set up at Melbourne and Sydney, 3500 roses were distributed to pedestrians, along with brochures and copies of the Quran. The “Hello, I am a Muslim” event is a worldwide

program organised by ICMG, which aims to reach 160,000 people in 10 countries across Europe as well as Australia and Canada.

ICMG Australia Coorperate Communications Director Yusuf Ozen said “We believe that it is the lack of communication that often causes misunderstandings. In Australia,

today, we distributed over 3,000 roses to passers-by in Melbourne and Sydney, in effort to engage with people in good faith. Through these simple chats many misconceptions and stereotypes were extinguished.

We received countless accounts of positive feedback by people from all faiths and backgrounds.

One of the receivers Gayle Humphries had said “I think it’s a lovely idea because then it gives them a chance to talk to people and explain why they’re giving people roses, trying to say that not all Muslim people are bad and not what they’re like on the news. I think it’s a wonderful and perfect thing for them to do.”

Not just Spiritual:

7 Physical Benefits of Fasting The holy month of Ramadan is already here.

Approximately 1.6 billion Muslims worldwide will abstain from eating and drinking during one month. The spiritual benefits of this month are almost uncountable, but what about our body? One might ask if it’s really this healthy to deprive the organs of nutrition.

Through different studies fasting appeared to be more beneficial than we first would think. Here’s a brief list of some benefits of fasting on the body.

1. Blood flow

When you’re fasting, there’s less blood going from the heart to the digestive system, which means more blood flowing to other parts. Blood vessels can be purified faster: no bad cholesterol levels, which in turn decreases the chance of heart diseases with 58%

2. Lungs

When we breathe, we absorb toxins of the environment constantly. Fasting helps removing these from the lungs.

3. Digestion

Since the stomach and the intestines are less active for a month, they cleanse and regulate themselves to allow a more efficient digestion afterwards.

4. Kidneys

When you’re fasting, the kidneys increase the process of eliminating non-useful materials (salt and water),

which in turn decreases blood pressure.

5. Brains

Fasting increases brain activity, because it stimulates the production of brainderived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). This protein activates brain stem cells and convert them into new neurons. It also protects the stem cells from changes associated with Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease.

6. Immune system

Fasting also improves the

immune system because it reduces free radical damage and starves off cancer cell formation.

7. Metabolism

Fasting encourages a faster and more energetic metabolism since the digestive system is resting. This allows to burn calories and fat faster.

It slows down ageing and could even add years to your life.

Suffice Your

Neighbor Indeed, Islam is the religion of establishing connection, harmony, brotherhood and cooperation among people, and it invites its people to love each other. It beseeches society to strengthen the ties between its individuals, whether they are young or old. It establishes relations among people on the basis of showing mutual mercy and affection, as stated by Allah The Almighty where He Says (what means): {O mankind, indeed We have created you from male and female and made you peoples and tribes that you may know one another.} [Quran 49:13] The neighbor who lives adjacent to one’s house is the one whom Islam exhorts one to do most good to, confirms good treatment to, urges to be extremely kind to, and warns, very strictly, of harming or even hurting his honor. This was something familiar to many Arabs, due to their genuineness and good disposition, during the pre-Islamic era and after Islam, so much that they always vied each other in glory over being good neighbors, valued houses in accordance with the good etiquettes of neighbors, and further advised each other to choose the neighbor before choosing the house.

Islam has come to maintain for this neighbor his great right, as recommended by Allah in His Noble Book when Allah Says (what means): {Worship Allah and associate nothing with Him, and to parents do good, and to relatives, orphans, the needy, the near neighbor, the neighbor farther away, the companion at your side.} [Quran 4:36] The Messenger of Allah sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his mention ) said: “The best of companions in the sight of Allah is the one who deals with his companion the best among you; and the best of neighbors in the sight of Allah is the one who deals with his neighbor the best among you.” [At-Tirmithi & Ahmad] Furthermore, the teachings of Islam make harming the neighbor a cause for which one would deserve to enter Hellfire – and we seek refuge with Allah from that - even if the person who harms his neighbor is a devout worshipper. It is proven in a Hadeeth on the authority of Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him, that somebody said, “O Messenger of Allah, such and such (a women)…” and made a mention of her plentiful prayer, fasting, charity, and so on, “… but she offends her neighbors

with her tongue.” On that he sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his mention ) said: “She will be admitted to the Hellfire.” [Ahmad; AlAlbaani: Saheeh (Authentic)] The chosen Prophet sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his mention ) also stripped the faith of one from whose evil his neighbors are not secure.

He sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his mention ) said: “By Allah, he is not a believer! By Allah, he is not a believer! By Allah, he is not a believer!” People asked, “Who is that, O Messenger of Allah?” He sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt

his mention ) said: “The one from whose evil actions his neighbor does not feel safe.”

[Al-Bukhari]; this is because the Muslim is the one from the evil of whose tongue and hand the other Muslims are safe.

All this is intended to stress the neighbor’s high position and glorious standing. Then what would you do, O poor soul, when you stand in front of the Lord of the Worlds to meet the complaint of your neighbor against you, saying, “O Lord, this neighbor of mine neither observed the right of neighborliness with me, nor did he treat me well. He harmed me: with his eyes when he

looked at my things that are unlawful for him to see, with his ears when he stealthily heard my secrets, and with his tongue when he made fun of my defects.”

O people of Islam, the right of your neighbor over you is great. Due to him from you is to visit him to inquire about his health when he falls ill, to escort his funeral procession when he dies, to lend to him when he asks you for a loan as long as you are able to do so, to relieve him when he is given to destitution, to congratulate him when something good happens to him, to console him when he is afflicted by a calamity, not to raise your building over his so as to harm him, to forbid him when you see him doing a shameful deed, and to help him when you see him doing good.

It may be that he would hold on to your neck on the Day of Judgment and say, “O Lord, he saw me involved in evildoings and neither commanded me to do good nor forbade me from doing evil.”

It is also due to the neighbor upon his neighbor to detect his state, to inspect his living and affairs, and to suffice him against the humiliation of begging if he is destitute and needy. The Messenger of Allah sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his mention ) said: “He has not believed in me who spends the night satiated while his neighbor at his side is hungry, and he knows that well.”

[At-Tabaraani; AlAlbaani: Saheeh (Authentic)] This right is emphasized by the arrival of the blessed month of Ramadan with its fragrant days and nights.

If each of us cares for his neighbor and detects his affairs

112

and states, then no doubt, the spirit of brotherhood would prevail among all individuals in the society, affection would cover the hearts of its members, whether young or old, and they would enjoy the best lives - and misery and hardship would disappear!

What would perfect the pleasure is to have a righteous neighbor adjacent to you.

This is the brother whom your mother did not give birth to.

This is, without doubt, the joy told of by the Messenger of Allah sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his mention ) in his statement: “Four things bring about happiness: a good (woman) wife, a large residence, a righteous neighbor, and a comfortable vehicle.” [Ibn Hibbaan: Al-Albaani: Saheeh (Authentic)] Do you know why? Because the righteous neighbor is motivated by his righteousness to defend your honor, realize your goodness, conceal your defects, rejoice whenever you are pleased, and grieve whenever you are sad.

It is quite unfortunate these days to see evasion from the neighbor in many districts and homes where the neighbor does not recognize his neighbor nor know his name, telephone, and whether he is fulfilled or destitute.

So, fear Allah, my brother and sister, in your neighbor, whether he is your relative or a stranger.

We ask Allah The Exalted, the Almighty, to help us fulfill the rights of neighbors, and to use us in the service of His good and pure servants www.islamweb.net

RAMADAN GREETING ¿ ALWASAT ¿ Issue 78 ¿ Ramadan 1438 ¿ May 2017 ‫ هـ ¿ أيار‬1438 ‫ ¿ رمضان‬78 ‫الوسط ¿ العدد‬

Ramadan: A free training opportunity Lama Al-Ghalaayini It has become clear to the majority of specialists in psychology and behavioral experts that emotional intelligence (E.I.), also known as the emotional quotient (E.Q.), is more important than academic intelligence, also known as the intelligence quotient (I.Q.).

This means that people who are in control of their emotions and are able to curb their anger are distinguished in various fields of human life and have greater opportunities to achieve success.

Those who cannot control their emotional lives or manage their emotions, experience internal conflicts that undermine their ability to think clearly and concentrate on work.

For this reason, there are numerous training courses that are organized all over the world providing diverse strategies in the development of emotional intelligence. As Muslims, we are blessed to practice a mandatory training course every year in all parts of the Islamic world free of charge in order to sharpen our emotional intelligence in the most powerful way.

Training to delay gratification of the strongest biological urge in human beings (i.e. hunger and thirst), is considered the most significant contribution to enhancing and developing one’s emotional intelligence. The importance of this training course lies in preparing the individual to postpone his strongest biological urges.

Such self-regulation is required to override the impulse to seek immediate gratification of his desires that require a constant delay since frustration is the main characteristic for most events in this life. Indeed, (man does not attain all that his heart desires, for) the winds do not blow as the ships wish. We cannot imagine that one attains everything he looks forward to. This leads to embracing frustration which

may sometimes be at the expense of one’s mental health. Therefore, training to cope with frustration (in our lives) helps in building a balanced and cohesive character.

Fasting in Islam is either obligatory or recommended so as to serve as an important factor in self-regulation and self-adaptation.

It inhibits pressures and helps cope with frustrations with commendable flexibility and adaptability.

The other aspect of training with regards to fasting is related to acquiring and developing empathy for others. Empathy (i.e. the ability to understand what another goes through), is one of the most important criteria that distinguish a personality from being normal or abnormal.

Enduring hunger and thirst helps one to identify himself with all the needy and suffering people and consequently drives him to extend a helping hand to them. These commendable feelings of compassion and empathy towards those who are less fortunate are enough to train an individual to curb and wear down his ego and begin thinking of others instead of thinking merely of himself. This undoubtedly strengthens one’s mental health and develops skills of emotional intelligence.

Moreover, we should not overlook other benefits of fasting such as controlling sexual desires and anger management. A fasting person is expected to control his anger and should respond to (what provokes) it by saying, “O Allah, I am fasting”.

Perhaps there is no psychological skill that is more important than curbing rashness as it is the core of self-control. Obliging oneself to delay gratifications and curb rashness to achieve a desired goal is the essence of emotional selfregulation.

Taking into consideration all that has been mentioned, is there any better training course that can emulate Ramadan in providing training for emotional intelligence?

Challenging Multiculturalism Having traced the political views in Australia and the world, I had a front-row seat to a leadership style that often respects covenants and inspires admiration and compassion at a time of unescapable, worldwide mistrust in political leaders. This great leadership is of the Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau-that I hope our Prime Minister Turnbull will be shadowing- is characterised by openness, kindness, transparency and eagerness to collaborate with others.

Mr Trudeau has consistently emphasising the importance of multiculturalism on many occasions.

He stated that diversity is “the engine of invention because it generates creativity that energises the world”. He always acknowledges the hard work and the understanding between many cultural and religious communities as well as granting rights to refugees.

For instance, Trudeau declared: “To those fleeing persecution, terror & war, Canadians will welcome you, regardless of faith. Diversity is our strength #WelcomeToCanada.”

This announcement was made a day after the American President Donald Trump, signed an executive order that indefinitely suspended admissions for Syrian refugees and blocked citizens of seven Muslim-majority countries from entering the U.S. for at least the next 90 days.

Mr Trudeau broke down in tears when he was reunited with a Syrian refugee he welcomed into Canada last year. He personally welcomed refugees at the

hearts that a Canadian is a Canadian, is a Canadian.”

Trudeau has also said to a hijabi Muslim refugee woman: “you and your fellow citizens have chosen a new government: a government that believes deeply in the diversity of our country. We know in our bones that Canada was built by people from all the corners of the world who worship every faith, who belong to every culture, who speak every language. We believe in our hearts that this country’s unique diversity is a blessing bestowed upon us by previous generation of Canadians.

Canadians who stirred down prejudice and fought discrimination in all its forms. We know that our inviable inclusive society didn’t happen by accident and we will continue without effort…. Have faith in your fellow citizens my friends! They are kind and generous, they are open minded and optimistic, and they know in their

The emphasis on the diversity in Trudeau’s speech traces the mosaic of a multicultural country that was built on diversity, exactly like our country Australia. This multicultural act has been established as an important part of Canadian identity since 1971, when the first official government policy regarding multiculturalism was released. In 1982, multiculturalism was enshrined into the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, and the importance of this ideology was again re-affirmed in the 1988 Multiculturalism Act. In Australia, successive Australian government have established a consistent commitment to multiculturalism in Australia. on 17 February 2011, the Hon. Chris Bowen MP, the Minister for Immigration and Citizenship, launched the government’s new multicultural policy The People of Australia. The policy draws upon recommendations made by the Australian Multicultural Advisory Council April 2010 report.

The People of Australia policy recognises the diversity of Australian society and reaffirms an approach that acknowledged the differences of the diverse groups that Australia adopted in 1970. It also enhances respect and support for cultural, religious and linguistic diversity. This approach is referred to as “multiculturalism,” which was reaffirmed by a document launched by the Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull in 20 March 2017 under: Australia: United, Strong,

Successful.

Although, this document stresses democratic participation as an important element of multicultural Australia and promotes mutual respect, we still experience bad judgement about Muslims which has come from the media and from people with an Islamophobic view in politics and we are still denying the rights for refugees.

This social policy for culturally diverse societies should go beyond discouraging racism to ultimately overcome the challenges of Islamophobia as well. Moreover, the respect and support of the minorities will lead eventually to acknowledging and negotiating the difference between the diverse cultures, religions and ethnicities.

Thus, multiculturalism may be seen as the promotion of dialogue between the various cultural groups in the nation; the performance of equal rights for minority groups and refugees; and the exclusion of discrimination against those groups.

Therefore, the concentration on the remedy of Islamophobia is needed so we can overcome its challenges and its bad consequences on our Australian society. Moreover, lack of recognition of minorities in establishing rules and institutions in society “can create two tiers of citizenship, drowning in a culture of misfit and misrecognition”.

Thus, equal respect and recognition are very essential for a healthy multicultural society, and for the integration of minorities as equal Australian citizens.

Mohamed Mohideen OAM, JP President, ICV Dear Brothers & Sisters Assalmu Alaikum Waramathulahi Barakat.

Greetings to everyone as we prepare to welcome the month of Ramadan. The month of Ramadan is one of the holiest months in the Muslim Calendar and Muslims welcome this month like welcoming a beloved guest into their homes.

On behalf of the Executive and Staff of ICV we would like to extend our greetings to all for the month of Ramadan. To Muslims this is one of our most sacred months during which we fast and abstain for the sake of Allah (swt). It’s a month in which we reflect on our past and look forward to the future.

In understanding the significance of this month, the Holy Prophet (Phub) said that every good deed committed is for the individual except fasting during the month of Ramadan which is for Allah (swt) and that he alone will reward the individual for it.

The month of Ramadan also brings about community togetherness and kindles the passion of giving. When fasting during this month one develops the true spirit of social belonging, unity, brotherhood and equality. Fasting further creates the awareness of being part of the world Muslim population where one performs the same rituals and rites at the same time irrespective of who you are. This creates a sense of belonging and brotherhood that is unique to Islam especially during this blessed month.

Fasting also increases devotion, and brings a Muslim closer to the Creator. It creates the recognition that everything we have in this life is a blessing from Allah (swt) who created us as equals. It teaches self-control, restraint, and thereby, good manners, good speech, and good habits. It teaches patience and also a sense of empathy with the lesser fortunate.

In these times of trouble and uncertainty, where the Muslim world is looked at in a very critical manner, we ask all our brothers and sisters to reach out to everyone: your neighbours, friends and even strangers, irrespective of race or religion or social status and invite them to your homes or community to partake in iftars and other activities. In this blessed month with the blessings of Allah (swt) we hope no one would go hungry and no one would be alone. Open your hearts and homes as Allah knows best.

Allah says in the Qur’an: ‘When My servants ask thee (Muhammad) concerning Me, I am indeed close (to them): I listen to the prayer of every suppliant when he calleth on Me: Let them also, with a will, Listen to My call, and believe in Me: That they may walk in the right way.’ (Quran 2: 186) We would like to end by seeking Allah (swt) blessing and mercy for good health and long life to all so as to witness this month and may all your good deeds be accepted. We also pray for the people in Palestine, Iraq, Syria, Burma and all other places in the world who are facing persecution and suffering. May Allah grant them safety and comfort and ease their burden.

Ameen.

Walaikum Salam

Fasting the Month of Ramadan Sheikh Yusuf Estes 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 alQadr). 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 al-Fitr), 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.

Reasons To Fast!

8. Fasting has numerous, scientifically proven, benefits for our physical health and mental well-being. The time, length and nature of the Islamic Fast all contribute to its overall positive effect. One of the medical benefits is a much-needed rest to the digestive system. The reduced food intake during the day allows the body to concentrate on getting rid of harmful dietary toxins accumulated as natural by-products of food digestion throughout the year. The length of the Islamic Fast itself (around 12-14 hours) is in sync with the ‘transit time’ of food from the mouth to the colon of the large intestine, ensuring that no stimulus reaches the stomach or digestive system while it remains in homeostasis. Therefore, for the vast majority of healthy individuals fasting poses no medical risks but in fact provides many health benefits, such as: an increase in serum Magnesium, essential for cardio-vascular health and prevention of heart complications; improvement in the quality and depth of sleep; improvement in memory and slower skin aging over time; increased production of growth hormone, etc. Also, as a general note, it has been observed that underfed animals live longer than their heavily fed counterparts and suffer fewer illnesses during

their lives.

9. The month of Ramadan provides us with a sort of “Boot camp.” It is a month of intense moral training.

Since we know that Fasting is a special duty prescribed by God, we learn that any sins may spoil our record of fasting with God, so we go through great lengths making sure we are on our best behavior.

Many people who experience fasting in this month, feel the impact that this intense training has on their habits, and realize the power of this transformative tool designed to make us better human beings- the ultimate goal of any spiritual exercise. The entire Ramadan atmosphere provides the driving force for this positive change.

10. It makes us realize the reality of life and death. Fasting makes us realize how dependant our lives are on things that we often take for granted, such as food and water. It makes us think about our dependence on God and God’s mercy and justice. Moreover, it reminds us of the life after death, which itself has a great impact on our character and our world-view.

11. Ramadan is a blessed month for a special reason: It is actually the month in which God first revealed His final message and guidance for mankind to our beloved Prophet Muhammad.

This message has been perfectly preserved both orally and textually in the form of a Book, called the Qur’an (The Reading/Recital).

Therefore, Muslims try to do an intense study of the Quran in this month especially, and evaluate their lives according to the standards and guidance contained in it.

12. After the month of Ramadan is over, Muslims celebrate one of the two most important holidays in the Islamic year: EID-UL-FITR, or the Festival of the Fast Breaking. It is a day to thank God for the blessing and training that He provides us with throughout the month of Ramadan. EID-UL-FITR is marked by praying in a huge congregation at an Islamic center or mosque, and by giving a small donation to the poor in the community.

The adults give the donation on behalf of their children as well.

Dinner parties, family outings, fairs, carnivals, and great joyous celebrations follow the prayer and charity.

In a nutshell, even though the real purpose of the dynamic institution of Fasting is to discipline our soul and moral behavior, and to develop sympathy for the less fortunate, it is a multi-functional and a comprehensive tool of change in various spheres of our lives, including: social and economic, intellectual and humanitarian, spiritual and physical, private and public, personal and common, inner and outer ---all in one!

The Fasting of Ramadan:

A Time for Thought, Action, and Change!

“Fasting in Ramadan develops in a person the real spirit of social belonging, of unity and brotherhood, and of equality before God. This spirit is the natural product of the fact that when people fast they feel that they are joining the whole Muslim society (which makes up more than one fifth of world’s population) in observing the same duty, in the same manner, at the same time, for the same motives, and for the same end. No sociologist or historian can say that there has been at any period of history anything comparable to this powerful institution of Islam: Fasting in the month of Ramadan. People have been crying throughout the ages for acceptable ‘belonging’, for unity, for brotherhood, for equality, but how echoless their voices have been, and how very little success they have met...” says Hammudah Abdalati, in Islam in Focus.

“What is fasting?” “How does the fasting of Muslims in Ramadan differ from the fasting of other faiths?” “Why should one ‘torture’ one’s body in the first place?” “What do you really gain from fasting in the end?”...These are a few questions that a number of non-

MESSAGE FROM THE PRIME MINISTER

RAMADAN 2017

Muslim friends and colleagues often ask us, usually out of fascination with this spirituallyuplifting practice of Islamic faith, and at times out of pity and sympathy for us, thinking, why should anyone suffer from hunger and thirst like Muslims? I wouldn’t be surprised if many of us shared the same negative perception of Fasting.

It is important to note that Fasting in Arabic is called, “Sawm”, which literally means ‘to be at rest’. Fasting in the month of Ramadan (the 9th month of the Islamic lunar calendar) is one of the Five Pillars upon which the “house” of Islam is built. During this month, every ablebodied Muslim, is required to fast, everyday from dawn until dusk.

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 25 May 2017

Reasons To Fast!

1. Fasting is an institution for the improvement of moral and spiritual character of human being. The purpose of the fast is to help develop selfrestraint, self-purification, God-consciousness, compassion, the spirit of caring and sharing, the love of humanity and the love of God. Fasting is a universal custom and is advocated by all the religions of the world, with more restrictions in some than in others. The Islamic Fast, as opposed to mere starvation or self-denial, is an act of worship and obedience to God, thanksgiving, forgiveness, spiritual training, and selfexamination.

2. Ramadan gives us a break and provides us with a rare opportunity to think about our own selves, our future, and our families. It is a time to give our selves a mental break and to temporarily forget about the hundreds of worries and stresses we are constantly bombarded with.

In hectic times, such as ours, and in places like the West, this valuable time to think about our lives, on individual basis, is a luxury and is desperately needed! It is a unique month of self-analysis, and of taking stock of one’s moral and spiritual ‘assets and liabilities’.

3. Fasting indoctrinates us in patience, unselfishness, and gratitude. When we fast we feel the pains of deprivation and hunger, and learn how to endure it patiently. The meaning of this powerful experience in a social and humanitarian context is that we are much quicker than anybody else in sympathizing with the oppressed and needy around the world, and responding to their needs.

“It is the month to visit the poor, the sick, and the needy to share their sorrows. It is the month where the food, sustenance and the earnings of a believing Muslim increases and they are blessed,” says

5. It cultivates in us the principle of sincere Love, because when we observe Fasting, we do it out of deep love for God. And a person, who loves God, truly is a person who knows what love is and why everyone on this Earth should be loved and treated justly, for the sake of God.

the Final Prophet of God, Muhammad (peace be upon him), a man who was known for his noble humanitarian causes, for social justice, and for being the first to respond to other’s needs, despite the fact that he himself lived a very simple and humble life.

It is only during such a trying time as Ramadan that we can reflect on the condition of those in this world who may not be as fortunate as us.

4. Fasting in Ramadan enables us to master the art of mature adaptability and TimeManagement. We can easily understand this point when we realize that fasting makes people change the entire course of their daily life. When they make the change, they naturally adapt themselves to a new system and schedule, and move along to satisfy the rules. This, in the long run, develops in them a wise sense of adaptability and selfcreated power to overcome the unpredictable hardships

of life! A person who values constructive adaptability, time-management, and courage will appreciate the effects of Fasting in this respect as well.

6. Fasting elevates the human spirit and increases our awareness of God. It strengthens our will-power as we learn to rise above our lower desires. The institution of fasting is both unique and a shared experience in human history. From the very beginning of time, humans have struggled to master their physical and psychological selves: their bodies and their emotions. Hunger is one the most powerful urges that we experience. Many, through over- or under-eating or consumption of unhealthy foods, abuse this urge. Thus, when a person purposefully denies something to their own self that it craves, they are elevating their mind above their body, and their reason and will above their carnal passions. “A fasting person empties his stomach of all the material things: to fill his soul with peace and blessings, to fill his heart with love and

sympathy, to fill his spirit with piety and Faith, to fill his mind with wisdom and resolution,” says H. Abdalati in Islam in Focus. The person who can rule their desires and make them work, as they like, has attained true moral excellence.

7. With the clarity of mind and absence of distractions, also comes a greater focus.

As students, the period of fasting, especially early during the day, serves as a tool to focus our minds on our academics. In the month of Ramadan, many Muslims try to avoid watching TV, listening to music, and some other leisure activities, which spares them more time and energy to be spent on more productive activities such as academics, intense study of Islam, voluntary prayers, social and humanitarian causes, and a quality time with the family, to name a few. It is a reminder of our duty to God, our purpose and higher values in life, as God Himself describes the purpose of fasting as follows, “O you who Believe! Fasting has been prescribed for you as it was prescribed for those before you, so that you may develop consciousness of God” (Quran 2:183).
