The way (of blame) is only against those who oppress men and wrongly rebel in the earth, for such there will be a painful torment. (42:42)

No act is too small to recognise truth
Friday 3 September is Al Quds Day. It is an opportunity to stand in solidarity with the oppressed in their struggles, all over the world; from Palestine to Iraq, from Congo to Honduras and from China to right here in our backyards.

Join in the March en masse, because you believe in truth and Justice!
Assembly – Behind Muir Street Mosque, Kaiserchracht
Time - after Jumua @ 14h00 for 14h30

All Peace, Truth and Justice loving groups, organisations and individuals will be marching to Parliament with the demands that government cuts all diplomatic ties with the Zionist regieme and discontinues  the supply of armaments to them.

Anwar Shaik...

This is what should be done to stay conscientised:

Make a sincere prayer for the people of Palestine
Proudly carry the Palestinian flag
Wear the Palestinian Hijab (Black Thobe) with pride
Print and distribute appropriate bumper stickers

Two of South Africa's largest state workers s; NEHAWU and SADTU, have  rejected  the  new wage offer made by government, at the same time deciding to suspend the one-day solidarity strike which was scheduled for today.
Government offered state workers, including teachers, nurses, customs officials and office clerks, an increase of 7.5 percent and R800 per month for housing, against the demands of 8.6 percent and 1 000 rands by the labour groups.
And while the COSATU federation sees the postponement of the strike as biding time for  state workers to consider the new wage offer, the move is also seen as relieving some of the pressure from President Jacob Zuma, to reach an agreement in the negotiation; or risk the possibility of a massive public sector strike, with major consequences for the South African economy.

The strike, already into its third week, bodes concern for the disruption of  essential services in the health, education and other sectors of the economy.

In what may come as a surprise shift to some, the Public Services Association, the PSA, has, in their latest draft resolution,  agreed to the employer’s proposed increase in wages and medical aid subsidy and decided to return to work. 

Arbor Day originated in 1872 in the United States territory of Nebraska. Mr. J. Sterling Morton, a newcomer to the treeless plains of Nebraska, was a keen proponent of the beauty and benefit of trees. He persuaded the local agricultural board to set aside a day for planting trees and through his position as editor of Nebraska's first newspaper, encouraged participation in the event by publishing articles on the value of trees for soil protection, fruit, shade and building.

By Your gracious Will is my fate arranged,
And what You ordain, would not be changed.
Grant me Oh Allah, the sanctity,
To accept that which is my destiny.
But if there be of my life, which I may redefine,
Grant me first the wisdom that I may define
That what I change remains true to You
Then give me the courage to see it through

The Masjidur Raghmaan Jamaa is a leader in providing Islamic education, youth activities counselling and welfare in Hanover Park. We have a well-established reputation for our community projects amongst the Muslim community at large.

An area the size of England has been devasted by flood waters, yet the international community has been slow to assist

There has never been a secular system, past or present, that has matched this compassion for husband and wife relations, Women in particular, who have been mistreated by almost all man made power structures, governments, and administrations throughout the ages, may appreciate the rights to which they are entitled because they are God –given rights.
It has been 16 years into our South African Democracy and Muslims are still waiting for their marriages to be recognised by government. In what appeared to be a breakthrough in this regard, The Muslim Marriages Bill (MMB) was designed in 1999 to act as a legal structure for the recognition of Muslim marriages. The IUC, opposing the Bill, in the year 2000, put forward a proposal for Muslim Personal Law to be recognised by the State, on the basis that it conformed to the Shariah. This implied that Muslim courts, which are staffed by qualified Muslim personnel, able to apply the Shariah, had to serve The MPL. Despite many years of discourse since, the Muslim community has become more divided than ever before on the issue. This series aims to provide information and clarity on the subject as well as related issues.
