Islam faith and Muslim culture

Salam alaik,

The new high committees members of VicMuslims Club for 2016 had a chance to mingle with students, ages 7 to 9 years old from Karori Brownie Unit aka Girl Guiding. We had a chance to talk about Islam faith and Muslim culture as requested from the students' leader.

The details of the event as follows:
Venue: Karori Community Centre
Date: 4th November 2015
TIme: 6.15pm

It was an honor to represent our Muslim culture and had an opportunity to introduce about our beautiful religion to the children. They were puzzled to see us as we were wearing hijab. However, due to time constraint, we only able to explain and answer a few questions to clear out any misunderstanding that they have. We can see the curiousity and enthusiasm from the students to learn more about us as they were so excited to participate in activities. Hopefully, the main objective for this program can be achieved as we want to increase the awareness of other people about Islam. We would really love if this event can be continued from time to time.

The Prophet and  Jibr i l  arrived to a land with palm trees.  Jibr i l  told the Prophet to dismount and pray, so the Prophet dismounted the  bur aq  and prayed two  rak^as .  Jibr i l  asked him, "Do you know where you prayed?" and the Prophet answered, " All a h  knows best."  Jibr i l  told him, "This is  Yathrib ; this is  T aybah .

Yassin and Tahlil Recital

Our deepest condolences to one of our club's members, Siti Nur 'Aqeelah for her father's death. This is in line with a sentence in Quran that says, "Every soul shall have a taste of death..." [Al-Imran, 3:185] Therefore, in collaboration with Wellington Malaysian Students' Organisation (WMSO) club, we held a Yasin and Tahlil recital for her father's death, Mr Mohamed. More details about the event is as follow: Venue: Student Islamic Centre (SIC), Kirk Building, Kelburn campus Date: 25 October 2015 Time: 7:45pm Recitation and Refreshment It was a potluck-based event. Right after yasin and tahlil recital, we had small refreshment that were brought by students and to be shared among muslimin and muslimat. Thus, we were able to foster bond among the students and able to get to know more about each other. We hope the student and her family will stay strong. May Allah put the spirit among the believers. Al-fatihah. ..............................
