The former

In that time
he has

has
developed
more than
1500

The fifth
annual issue
of The
Muslim 500,
a listing of
the world’s
‘most
influential
Muslims’ has
been
released by
the Royal
Islamic
Strategic
Studies
Centre in
Jordan.
The
publication
sets out to
ascertain
the
influence
some Muslims
have on the
Muslim
community,
or on behalf
of it,
either
positively
or
negatively.
As in
previous
years, the
prestigious
Top 50
positions on
the list are
dominated by
religious
scholars and
heads of
state.
According to
the
publishers,
the dominant
and lasting
influence of
these
players
cannot be
denied,
especially
the rulers,
who in many
cases also
appoint
religious
scholars to
their
respective
positions.
2013′s top
position was
scooped by
Sheikh
Ahmad
Muhammad Al-Tayyeb,
the Grand
Sheikh of
the Al Azhar
University
for what
Muslim 500
said was the
prominent
role played
by him in
Egypt’s
troubled
democratic
transition.
Al-Tayyeb
was followed
closely on
the listing
by Saudi
King
Abdullah bin
Abdul-Aziz
Al-Saud
and Iranian
Grand Leader
Ayatollah
Sayyid Ali
Khamenei.
Reflective
of the wider
trajectory
of the Arab
Spring, this
year’s list
shows a
decline in
influence
from Muslim
Brotherhood
associated
figures
Dr Mohammed
Badie,
Sheikh
Yusuf al

and ousted
Egyptian

The
full
scope
of
the
message
of
the
Qur'an,
its
context
and
objectives
must
be
grasped
as
an
entity.
A
literalist
reading
produced
by
men
cannot
take
up
this
challenge.
Muslim
women
are
vital
here.
Early ulama
obviously
could not
undertake
the task of
addressing
the question
of women's
being. As
men, they
could hardly
do more than
determine
women's
functions.
As actors in
a given
culture,
they could
not
transcend
that
culture. In
addition to
being
subject to
their
gender, they
were
necessarily
also
products of
their
culture.
Yet, in the
light of the
higher
objectives
of Islam -
the
individual's
dignity,
integrity,
autonomy,
development,
education,
intelligence,
welfare,
health and
inner
balance -
one can
realise that
a number of
rules
inferentially
establish an
explicit
status for
women as
beings.
Their
spiritual
quest is
recognised
as part of
their being
and
development
like that of
men, and
education is
an
imperative
requirement:
"Seeking
knowledge is
an
obligation
for every
Muslim man
or woman."
Women's
recognised
autonomy is
outlined in
their having
the right to
acquire
property and
goods and
manage them
as soon as
they reach
maturity,
without
having to
answer to
anybody
(neither
their
parents nor
their
husbands),
as well as
their
keeping
their own
family name
when they
marry.
On a more
personal
level, the
recognition
of their
right to
sexual
pleasure, of
their
choices
regarding
marriage,
divorce,
contraception
and even
abortion
establishes,
both in
practice and
in the
purposes of
the Islamic
message, the
groundwork
of elaborate
discourse
about women
as beings,
their
status,
their
autonomy and
their
legitimate
aspirations,
before
beginning
any
discourse
about their
rights
within the
limits of
their
families and
social
functions.
Scholars
were remote
from such
considerations
when they
undertook
the first
legal
deciphering.
Interested
as they were
in the legal
framework,
they mainly
focused on
function.
They were
also
influenced
by culture,
which
fashions
gender
relations
and the
conception
of the
natural
status of
women in
traditional
Eastern,
Arab (or
Persian or
Asian) and
patriarchal
societies.
Muslim women
have
traditionally
faced
obstacles to
playing
competitive
sport.
Organisers
of a
tournament
in Sydney
say they are
doing what
they can to
nurture a
new
generation
of sporting
leaders.
For
tournament
participant
Ayse Akca it
is the first
time she has
ever played
sport.
“Now that
I've
finished
school I
wanted to
get out
there and be
more
active,” she
told SBS.
As a Muslim
Australian,
she found an
all-women's
indoor event
less
confronting
than other
options.
“Just being
close
together,
having fun
with the
girls and
not having
to worry
about
everything”
are part of
the appeal,
Ms Akca
says.
Organisers
say there
are other
reasons why
participants
get
involved,
including
not having
to worry
about
community
expectations.
Men are also
not allowed
and there is
no dress
code in a
private
area.
“Some women
are okay to
take part in
a public
space to
wear skins
and shorts
and singlets
with shorts
underneath,”
says Go
Active
co-ordinator,
Assmaah
Helal.
“There are
other women
who feel
more
comfortable
with wearing
looser
clothes.”
Among the
150 Muslim
and
non-Muslims
participants
is former
Afghan
refugee
Shegofa
Hassani.
The
17-year-old's
family
initially
disapproved
of her
involvement.
“I pushed
the
boundaries
basically,”
Shegofa
Hassani
says.
“I didn't
have their
support but
over the
past five
years I've
gained their
support,
especially
[from]
relatives,
which is a
great thing
because I
can play the
sport I
love.”
Organisers
say many
participants
find it
difficult
convincing
relatives to
support the
idea.
“Sport is
seen as a
more
male-dominated
zone so they
don't really
encourage
females in
their family
or household
to take part
in that,”
Assmaah
Helal says.
Participants
say the
event has
given them
the courage
to break
through
barriers.
“Playing a
sport isn't
just about
the physical
part of it,”
Ms Hassani
says.
“You also
gain other
skills like
communication
and
leadership
and
confidence
that will
stay with
you
throughout
your life.”
Coaches and
mentors are
planning
more events
like it.
They say
their aim is
to foster a
love of
sport in
more Muslim
women so
some can
progress
from a
recreational
level to an
elite level.

UK: Britain
has more than 10,000 millionaires from the
among 2.72 million Muslims who live and work
in the country, contributing 31 billion
pounds (Rs.3 trillion) to its economy, a new
report says.
"The Muslim Pound - How
Muslims Add Value to Britain's Prosperity"
was released by the Muslim Council of
Britain ahead of the just-concluded 9th
World Islamic Economic Forum Meet 2013 in
London.
The report said that when
many Muslims left their native countries to
choose an alien land, they started out as
labourers in industries like cotton mills,
looms, steel and automobiles to re-shape
post-war Britain - unsure if their dreams
would ever materialize.
Five decades on, there are
more than 10,000 millionaires and thousands
of others are engaged in higher managerial,
administrative and professional occupations.
"From coffee houses in
Elizabethan London to curry houses in modern
day Britain, thousands of Muslim-owned
businesses have made a significant
contribution to the UK economy, and, by
extension, the cultural life of Britain,"
the report said. In London alone, an
estimated 33.6 percent of small to medium
enterprises are Muslim-owned.
With over 13,400 Muslim-owned
businesses, they have created more than
70,000 jobs and some have gone to become big
household brand names. "There is an
estimated 10,000 Muslim millionaires in the
UK with liquid assets of more than 3.6
billion pounds.
From coffee

London to

thousands of
Muslim-owned

and, by
extension,
the cultural
life of
Britain.
Report
And there are more than a
dozen British Muslims listed in the 2013
Sunday Times Rich List of the most affluent
in the UK.
Some estimate the amount that
the community is contributing to the UK
economy to be about 31 billion pounds," the
report revealed.
Another 114,548 Muslims in
England and Wales occupy higher managerial,
administrative and professional occupations
with successful British Muslim entrepreneurs
contributing not only to the country's
prosperity but also to the fabric of British
society and act as role models, the report
said.
As per the 2011 Census,
London had a total population of around
eight million including one million Muslims.
Presenting a global diversity, the report
said that it is only matched by the
diversity of the Hajj where Muslims from all
over the world converge on Islam's holiest
city Makkah for the annual pilgrimage.
Muslim connections from the
Atlantic to the Pacific have helped Britain
facilitate trade to new and emerging markets
and the community has created new drivers
for growth due to the requirements of the
Muslim faith.
Citing an example, the report
said that the need to have food adhering to
Muslim dietary requirements has led to a
burgeoning Halal food industry to cater for
this, and a major share in the USD 1.2
trillion global halal lifestyle market.
According to a study in 2001,
the British halal industry is estimated at
700 million pounds, though it is expected to
be far higher - in excess of one billion
pounds - given that the world halal food
market is estimated at USD 685 billion, the
report pointed out.
In addition, Muslims in
Britain contribute to the growth of the USD
1.3 trillion "non-interest based Islamic
finance sector", making London as one of the
major centres for global Islamic finance
services outside the Muslim world.
"The sophistication and
experience of the UK professional service
industry has meant that it has long since
been a partner in the Islamic finance
movement. In particular, English law is the
governing law of choice for many
cross-border Islamic finance transactions.
The success of the Islamic finance sector in
the UK is in no small part attributed to the
concerted partnership of Government for the
past thirty years", the report said.

REPORT
Supplementing this are
Britain's world-class law firms and
accountancy practices which have thriving
divisions in Islamic Finance, and Britain's
universities compete globally to offer
executive education in the industry and
Shariah-compliant products.
Britain's Islamic finance
sector services the world and also invests
in the massive infrastructure projects taken
up in the country, said the report.
It quoted British Prime
Minister David Cameron, who acknowledges the
contribution of Muslims in helping transform
London's skyline by financing in whole or
part developments such as The Shard, Chelsea
Barracks, Harrods and the Olympic Village.
The 9th WIEF met Oct 29-31 in
Britain, in a non-Muslim country for the
first time and launched the report offering
a deep insight into the contribution of
Muslims to the country.
The report has pegged the
spending power of the British Muslims at a
staggering 20.5 billion pounds per annum,
adding to the country's economic prosperity.
According to Muslim Council
of Britain secretary general Farooq Murad,
it is the country's largest Muslim umbrella
body with over 500 affiliated national,
regional and local organisations, mosques,
charities and schools.

A
few weeks after the beautiful wedding of his only
daughter on whom he doted, Mula Nasruddin called a
meeting with his son-in-law.
He said, “Son, you know we’re so glad to welcome you
into the family. Your mum and I decided to make you a
partner in our oil drilling business. So we have drawn
up the papers, and here you are, welcome to the oil
business. And as for your duties, all you have to do is
just keep an eye on things at the site. Of course as a
partner you will have your own office, parking space and
all the privileges.”
Much to the shock of Mula Nasruddin the son in law said,
“Sorry I can’t, no I can’t do it.”
“And why not,” asks Mula Nasruddin.
“Well,” said the son-in-law, “ I can’t stand the sound
of those drilling machines, that black crude, the dust
and dirt, sorry but I just don’t see myself doing that
day after day.”
Mula Nasruddin ponders a bit, a little sign of
irritation, but with the image of his dear daughter in
his mind he says, “Okay here is the solution. I will
spend more time at the rigs, and you stay here at the
head office. I will arrange for you to have a nice
office and you won’t have to worry about all that noise
and smell.”
Much to the dismay of Mula Nasruddin the boy says,
“Sorry I can’t do it.”
By now a very irritated Mula Nasruddin asks, “And why
not?”
“Well you see, I am not cut out to sit behind a desk all
day and make small talk with people. I am more of a free
spirit and prefer to be outdoors,” says the son-in-law.
Quite agitated by now, Mula Nasruddin asks, “I have just
made you a partner in the business, offered you a cushy
position in my billion-dollar oil business and you
refused. I just made a concession for you to work in the
office and you don’t want to do that either, what am I
going to do with you?”
"Easy," responds the son-in-law. "Why don’t you just buy
me out then?”
This is not true. Some processed foods, such as
whole grain pasta, canned light tuna and plain
frozen vegetables, are healthy choices. Others
provide few nutrients and/or are high in
calories, fat, sugar or sodium and should be
limited. Some examples are deep fried foods,
salty snacks and baked goods.
Make wise food choices. Enjoy more whole foods,
like vegetables and fruit. Read labels and
choose foods higher in nutrients you want more
of, like fibre, calcium and B vitamins, and
lower in nutrients you want less of, like sugar,
fat and sodium.
Processed foods can be healthy if eaten in the
right quantities and can be very convenient for
those on the go.

"On a
personal
note, it's
been an
important
milestone
for me. Its
the first
product I
have worked
from idea
inception,
through to
development
and finally
QA. It's
been a
fantastic
journey. I'm
particularly
proud of the
cross-platform
engineering
that went
into it. Ask
any
developer,
native
multi-platform
development
is a really
hard thing
to achieve
and I feel
we have
delivered a
good robust
solution for
smartphone
users
Worldwide."
