Al-Ameen Masjid Volunteer Session

The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said: “Cleanliness is half the faith (Iman).” [Sahih Muslim] On Saturday, 5 th  November 2016, Al-Ameen Islamic Development New Zealand has invited VicMuslims Club in a volunteering session at a Masjid.

Stress Free Snacks

Our ancestors acknowledged the role of fresh fruits or nuts a part of their daily diet. De-stressing through drinks and snacks has become a part of our daily routine. The little and often food has changed our lifestyle which makes us feel more hungry. However, the old eating habits brought natural calm while we sustained more energy for the whole day than depending on the multivitamins as a remedy.  Different researchers have shown the adverse effect of stress can directly lead to unstable eating and can cause hormonal shifts and other disabilities in the body.  The purpose of this little giveaway initiative during the examination period is to make students somewhat realize that their stresses are dependent on their healthy eating habits and the food is always the best remedy which they require at the right time of the day. The old saying like healthy body has a healthy mind acknowledges the role of our body for sustaining pressures. So join us for this free event as the locati
