Al-Ameen Masjid Volunteer Session


The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said: “Cleanliness is half the faith (Iman).” [Sahih Muslim]

On Saturday, 5th November 2016, Al-Ameen Islamic Development New Zealand has invited VicMuslims Club in a volunteering session at a Masjid. The volunteers are required to carry out maintenance work at the masjid-inside and outside.  As it was entirely a heavy-workload volunteer job, it only opened for the men. Even though it was quite a short notice, Alhamdulillah there were around 10 kind-hearted members of VicMuslims Club who joined the program.

Among the works that have been carried out were carpet repairing, carpet cleaning especially at the ladies side, repainting the toilet and installing the power sockets at the back of the main masjid. Other than working inside the masjid, there were some other jobs that have been done outside of the masjid as well. They were continuing working with the concrete flooring and also clearing all dirt and stones at the back of Masjid and the rubbish area.

For the volunteers, Al-Ameen committees have generously provided breakfast which consisted of murtabak, curry puff, red bean porridge, scrambled eggs and cheese to make sure all the participants have the full energy before doing their works. Not only that, the organiser also provided the volunteers with lunch which included briyani as the main dish and some brownies.

As a closure, here we share one of the hadiths arbai'n,


Hadith 36: Whoever Relieves a Believer


On the authority of Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) who said, ” Whoever relieves a believer’s distress of the distressful aspects of this world, Allah will rescue him from a difficulty of the difficulties of the Hereafter. Whoever alleviates [the situation of] one in dire straits who cannot repay his debt, Allah will alleviate his lot in both this world and in the Hereafter. Whoever conceals [the faults of] a Muslim, Allah will conceal [his faults] in this life and the Hereafter. Allah is helping the servant as long as the servant is helping his brother. Whoever follows a path in order to seek knowledge thereby, Allah will make easy doe him, due to it, a path to Paradise. No people gather together in a house of the houses of Allah, reciting the Book of Allah and studying it among themselves, except that tranquility descended upon them, mercy covers them, the angels surround them and Allah makes mention of them to those in His presence. Whoever is slowed by his deeds will not be hastened forward by his lineage.” (Recorded in Muslim)

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...

Grand IFTAAR 1.0 (2017)

Why Ramadhan is so great a month This month has in its folds one such night that is better than a thousand months – Allah’s mercies and blessings that are normally showered in thousands of months are all showered in one night. This is the night in which Our Lord gave us His biggest gift, the Qur’an: “We revealed it (the Clear Book) on a Blessed Night.” (Al-Qur’an 34:3) What is this “Clear Book”? It is a “Mercy from your Lord.” (Al-Qur’an 34:6) Not just this night, but every day of this month is blessed and every night is blissful. When the day dawns, it gives an opportunity to scores of people to abstain from pleasures and rightful demands of flesh and blood in order to show their obedience to Allah and eagerness to attain His closeness. They stand witness to the fact that Allah alone is their Lord and object of their efforts; that the real thirst in life is the desire to obey and submit to Him; and that getting His pleasure quenches this thirst. When the night envelopes everythin...
