The Muslim Crescent Scout
Group was not able to meet
for their weekly meetings
for most of this term due to
the quarantine restrictions.
Scouts Australia responded
creatively to the crisis and
the stopping of face-to-face
scouting for the first time.
They developed a new program
called scouting@home, where
leaders across Australia
developed programs for their
troops that they can do from
home and the scouts would
meet online via various
online platforms.
Scout leaders from across
Queensland would generously
share their program ideas
with other leaders through
the Scouting QLD website.
The development of
scouting@home is a positive
development for scouting as
it is developing the ability
for scouting to be delivered
in a wider variety of
formats.
The Muslim Crescents Scouts
has continued to grow over
this period and they now
have 30 members over all
sections Joeys(5-7yrs),
Cubs(8-10yrs),
Scouts(11-14yrs) and
Venturers(15-17yrs). They
meet weekly in Karawatha
Forest to learn new skills
and engage in adventurous
activities while having lots
of fun and making great
friends. Many of the scouts
were still active in Ramadan
helping Sisters With Helping
Hands and Brothers in Need
with their iftar pack
program. They assisted in
cooking the food, packing
and delivering the packs
throughout the community.
This term they were only
able to meet for the last
three weeks for face to face
scouting and for the final
week the venturers and
scouts had an amazing day
canoeing. They met at the
scout camp grounds in Mt
Cotton and learnt a variety
of skills in a canoe and had
fun playing games.
Thankfully, it was a
beautiful sunny day and
those who wanted to had fun
deliberately tipping their
canoe and they then learnt
about rescue techniques.
Scout’s offer a variety of
training opportunities for
members who can use their
scout training for VET
qualifications. After
everyone enjoyed the amazing
experience of canoeing, the
scouts(those over 14 years
old) and leaders are looking
forward to the scouts
training program to restart
in term three. We have
members interested to train
to be instructors in
archery, canoeing, kayaking,
snorkelling and cycling,
with all courses allowing
members to work towards
achieving the VET
qualification in outdoor
skills. One of our venturers
are doing a management
course through scouts that
will also help them achieve
VET qualifications.
We are excited to resume
face to face scouting in
term three and start a new
term of fun, learning and
adventure. Anyone interested
to join scouts can follow us
on Facebook and Instagram or
contact 0432026375.

Albanese’s gesture to work
together on energy policy
It’s been really refreshing
to see the approach of
federal labor in trying to
de-politicise the climate
crisis and direct attention
to policy this week.
Unfortunately, Energy
Minister Angus Taylor’s
reply did not rise to that
level of statesmanship, and
only time, and some
persistence from media, will
tell if the Prime Minister
will respond.
Climate scientists the world
over are pointing to Earth’s
ecosystems being on the edge
of a dangerous tipping point
that we won’t be able to
claw back from. That’s what
happens with global
temperature reaching a
certain point; it sets off a
train of reactions from the
Arctic, to our forests and
soils, that we can no longer
control or offset, no matter
how much we try.
Already the Editor-at-large
at The Australian newspaper
has said the PM must refuse
to engage with Albanese,
despite significant industry
backing to Albanese’s
gesture.
Paul Kelly’s editorial
stance is a form of reckless
vandalism on Australia’s
future (that newspaper also
ran a front page story this
week about a Covid-19
cluster outbreak being
caused Eid celebrations).
Energy Minister Taylor’s
reply sought to continue to
sow fear that Labor was
secretly plotting to
resurrect a carbon price –
which Albanese dismissed.
Taylor went on to say, "The
focus of our energy policy
is about affordable energy,
reliable energy and bringing
down emissions without
wrecking the economy and
we're kicking goals.”
Here he is basically saying
that moving to a low carbon
economy is a small priority.
It also points to
science-blindness.
While this blindness might
thrive in conspiracy
theorist groups, who
not-so-incidentally also
thrive on anti-Muslim and
xenophobic sentiment, the
majority of Australians can
see that it is reckless. The
question is, will they make
it a top voting priority?
Will they show this to our
Prime Minister in the polls?
We are gearing up for an
epic economic slowdown, if
not an economic cliff-jump,
in coming months, and in
that time, some media
outlets will try to
editorialise that dealing
with the climate crisis now
is an out-of-touch agenda.
And they may succeed.
The Prime Minister will
decide that this is a
problem they can afford to
ignore, as he will be long
gone when South East
Queensland heads under
water, when thousands of
animals and plants become
extinct, when wars break out
over diminished water and
new waves of refugees. All
that, will be a future PM’s
political nightmare.
The Australian people have
had a taste in the past few
months of what it is like
when the pause or reset
button is hit on life – it’s
been tempered though by
JobKeeper. That will change
when JobKeeper goes. It’s
hard to see why the
Government went for a policy
that was so exorbitantly
expensive and short term,
given the projected long
timeline of Covid-19. They
will be scrambling right
now.
Sadly it may take economic
ruins for people to realise
that the fear of losing
everything cannot be a
reason to avoid taking
action that will then result
in us really losing
everything.
Lifting Australia’s economic
and social well-being can
and must be done while
securing the planet’s
future. Australia’s future
and the planet’s future are
not two different things.
It’s like a baby being sick
in utero and doctors trying
to rescue the baby, while
the mother is dying.
Attorney-General Christian
Porter recently asked unions
and industry to enter
dialogue with government on
a series of policy working
groups. This could become a
template for other areas of
policy development.
Unfortunately the PM’s post-Covid-
advisory group doesn’t bring
together all the experts
needed at the table. Sooner
or later, this story won’t
be about science-blindness,
it will be about the
capacity to govern.
Australians will be looking
to see which party has that
capacity.
So while journalists across
the spectrum will throw
shade at this move by
Albanese, they are not
looking forward. Listening
to the media right now could
cost both parties dearly,
and cost Australia even
more.

Reports Melbourne coronavirus cluster
originated at Eid party could stoke
Islamophobia, Muslim leaders say
|
Media reports
are ‘unfairly stigmatising the
Muslim community’, vice-
president of Islamic Council of
Victoria and a Director on the
Board of the Australian Muslim
Advocacy Network (AMAN) says. |
Muslim community leaders say they are
terrified that unconfirmed news reports
claiming one on Melbourne’s coronavirus
clusters originated at a family Eid
celebration could create a new wave of
anti-Islamic sentiment.
“I’m really concerned, I’m thinking
‘here we go again’, scapegoating,
marginalising, unfairly stigmatising the
Muslim community,” said Adel Salman, the
vice-president of the Islamic Council of
Victoria.
“It just plays into the same narrative
that Muslims are untrustworthy, that
they aren’t like us, that they flout our
rules, that they don’t have Australia’s
interests at heart … Either they are a
threat because they want to kill us and
attack us or they are a threat because
they are propagating the virus. It’s the
same narrative.
“The Muslim community, we have been
through this so often for many many
years.”
The report in the Australian newspaper
stated that the Coburg extended family
cluster originated from a large family
Eid celebration, an important Islamic
holiday held at the end of Ramadan.
Eid al-Fitr is one of the most
significant holidays in the Islamic
year. In normal circumstances, large
family groups would gather to celebrate,
and around the world groups of hundreds
or thousands would come together to
pray.
The Coburg family cluster was first
announced on 14 June, involving an
extended family spread between
Melbourne’s north and south-east. It has
since grown to at least 14 cases,
including students at two primary
schools in Broadmeadows and Pakenham.
The only source cited in the article was
a receptionist at the Pakenham Medical
Clinic, who confirmed a female patient
who attended the clinic on 10 June, and
later tested positive for Covid-19, was
believed to have contracted it at the
family gathering.
Guardian Australia spoke to three
receptionists at the clinic. One said
they were told about the Eid connection
by the health department, one that it
was “what [she] heard around the office”
and the other that she believed the
department had not confirmed the source
and that the patient had told the doctor
the information.
The department contacted the clinic to
inform the doctor who treated the woman
that they were considered a close
contact, but a spokeswoman for the
premier said contact tracers would never
have revealed information during one of
these calls about where a patient
contracted the virus.
The patient attended the clinic 17 days
after Eid. The doctor has since been
released from quarantine and tested
negative.
Salman said on Thursday he had already
been contacted by concerned members of
the Islamic community.
“Even this morning I’ve received a
messaged from a very senior member of
the community and he was very concerned,
he said ‘What’s going on? Can you do
anything?’
“The month of Ramadan which, as we all
know is a month for people getting
together, family gatherings, family
celebrations ... I mean the sacrifices
that Muslims have to make [in forgoing
normal community celebrations]. They did
that willingly because that’s what had
to be done, and I think that should be
recognised,” Salman said.
“Muslims acted very responsibly. I could
not say that every single Muslim family
complied, obviously, but … all the
information that we’ve received is that
Muslims acted very, very responsibly.”
On Wednesday Victoria’s chief health
officer, Brett Sutton, said
misinformation spread on social media
apps in languages other than English was
a challenge when trying to ensure
multicultural communities are informed
on the dangers of the virus.
Salman said the Islamic Council had been
working to combat that.
“That is definitely a factor. People are
getting their information from various
sources, some of it is not correct, some
of it is outright dangerous,” he said.
“But it’s not just within the ethnic
circles … there are some people who just
have views that are misinformed and are
getting that from the internet, it isn’t
only in ethnic communities.’”
Salman said he thought the government
could have done more to inform
non-English-speaking communities.
“I do think more could have been done,
for sure, but I’m not going to then say
that is the cause of the outbreak of the
cluster, there needs to be evidence to
support that,” he said.
THE GUARDIAN
Herald Sun
newspaper columnist Andrew Bolt and
Sky News commentator Peta Credlin
have been among those in the media
over the past few days to lay blame
for the rise in cases at the feet of
multicultural communities.
ICQ Spokesperson, Ali Kadri, posed on
Facebook:
Peta Credlin
connected the recent outbreak of
COVID-19 cases to lack of
integration and knowledge of English
language skills amongst migrants.
Obviously she ignored all the effort
by millions of migrant Australians
who helped in keeping Australia safe
and also forgot the fact that there
were anti vaxxers and anti 5g
conspiracists who were out flaunting
the rules few weeks ago. Hope my
response reaches to her.

Rached Ghannouchi
President
of Ennahda Party
Ghannouchi is one of the
world’s leading Islamic
thinkers and one of the most
influential Tunisian
politicians in the
post-revolution transition
period.
Influence
Politics: Ghannouchi
co-founded The Ennahda
Movement (’Renaissance’) in
the 1970s and was imprisoned
several times before being
forced into exile. The
Ennahda is a political party
based on Islamic values
resembling the Christian
Democratic political parties
in Europe. It supports the
concept of a multi-party
democracy. In 2012 he
received the Chatham House
Prize for “the successful
compromises each achieved
during Tunisia’s democratic
transition” and in 2016 he
received the Jamnalal Bajaj
Award for “promoting
Gandhian values outside
India”.
Post Arab Spring:
With the fall of President
Ben Ali, Ghannouchi returned
to Tunisia in January 2011
having spent 20-years in
exile. He led the Ennahda
(Renaissance) Party to
victory in the October 2011
National Constituent
Assembly elections. In 2014,
Ghannouchi quit government
and handed power over to a
technocratic government.
When elections were held
later that year, Ennahda,
without Ghannouchi leading
them, came second to the
Nidaa Tounes party. In 2019
Ghannouchi announced a
surprise candidacy for a
parliamentary seat in the
October 2019 elections. This
will be the third set of
elections since the 2011
revolution.
Countering terrorism:
Ghannouchi has stated that
the widespread phenomenon of
terrorism in the Arab region
is due to corruption in the
economic, social and
political sectors. He is
acutely aware of the
bloodshed in neighbouring
Algeria and is keen to avoid
having only binary options
of identity available. He
also believes that whoever
wants to fight extremism
must do so in moderation by
following the Tunisian
model.

 Towards
Demystifying Islamophobia:
A Muslim’s Perspective
by Zouhir Gabsi, Deakin
University
ABSTRACT
Islamophobia has been a
recurrent socio-political
narrative for some time now,
and it has been exacerbated
since the aftermath of 9/11.
Despite the plethora of
studies on the subject,
little is known about Muslim
scholars’ perception of this
phenomenon. This is due
primarily to the language
barrier since the Arabic
language is the code for
their discourse.
It is essential to consider
both Islamic and Western
perspectives to understand
the problem thoroughly and
suggest solutions, as
relying on one approach is
both biased and
uncompromising. Accordingly,
the purpose of this paper is
threefold:
First, it explains how
Islamophobia should be
defined contextually. It
frames its arguments within
three contexts: a historical
setting (Meccan and Madinah
period), Islam in the Arab
world, and Islam in the
West.
Second, the paper
demonstrates how a Muslim’s
perspective contrasts with
the Western narrative. It
critically challenges some
of the arguments put forward
in social sciences and
intellectual discourses and
adopts an unapologetic and
non-defensive approach in
the treatment of
Islamophobia.
Third, the paper discusses
the variables that affect
Islamophobia, such as
Western media and terrorism
(including state terrorism).
Finally, the paper proposes
some approaches to
mitigating the situation.
Over the
weeks,
CCN
highlights
extracts
from the
Australian
Journal
of
Islamic
Studies
which is
an open
access,
double-blind
peer-reviewed
journal
dedicated
to the
scholarly
study of
Islam
|
|
...continued from last
week's CCN
SUGGESTED SOLUTIONS TO AN
OLD PROBLEM
As discussed in this
paper, Islamophobia is
an old phenomenon that
it is not likely to
cease soon. It is
profoundly
interconnected with
xenophobia, which is a
result of prejudice and
fear of the unknown.
One concedes that
combating Islamophobia
is a complex challenge
and its realisation
depends on the outcomes
of cooperative work
between various
government agencies and
media outlets.
Western media plays a
pivotal role in this
campaign. Current
affairs and news items
should be selected and
broadcast with
sensitivity. For
instance, it is highly
damaging to broadcast a
terrorist act and Muslim
festivity in the same
context.
Awareness of the
limitations of media
outlets, with all
viewers educated to be
critical thinkers, is
crucial in combating
Islamophobia. This is
confirmed by Ramberg
“even without
intentional
manipulation,
insensitive reporting on
seemingly trivial
matters can promote
racism, when multiplied
across the media.”
There is a need to
revisit and re-define
some concepts used today
when discussing Islam;
for instance, radical
Islam, moderate Islam
and political Islam.
In her RAND report Civil
Democratic Islam, Cheryl
Benard reports different
types of Muslims and
suggests strategies to
curb Muslim extremism.
She posits a continuum
regarding a Muslim’s
adherence and attitude
towards critical issues
such as ‘jihad,’
‘hijab,’ Islamic State’
and so on.
On one end of the
spectrum, she includes
radical fundamentalists,
scriptural
fundamentalists and
conservative
traditionalists, and on
the other, she includes
reformist
traditionalists
modernists, mainstream
secularists and radical
secularists.
Benard’s report,
particularly tactics to
combat fundamentalism,
has raised a few
eyebrows among Muslims.
Some of her approaches
include encouraging
Sufism and supporting
modernists and
mainstream secularists
by giving them public
platforms, enhancing
“facilitating and
encouraging awareness of
pre-and non-Islamic
history and culture, in
the media and the
curricula of relevant
countries.”
Benard’s report may be
perceived as an attack
on Islam, as it may be
interpreted as an
attempt to manufacture a
Muslim who advocates
RAND’s ideals and
ideologies.

Gaslit for
demanding real
change — women
of colour like
me are trapped
in a cycle of
tokenism
by Yassmin
Abdel-Magied
|
 |
It is a cycle as
regular as
clockwork. You
join an
organisation,
and although
they say you are
not a token
hire, no one
else looks like
you. Maybe
you’re like me,
a black Muslim
woman who wears
a headscarf,
going into
engineering. You
look around,
note the
landscape and
wonder how it
will go.
It starts
positively. The
honeymoon phase
is sweet; you
feel welcome,
wanted, valued.
The organisation
talks about
their excitement
for the “fresh
perspective” you
bring, and a
flicker of hope
grows in your
chest. Maybe
they are
different, you
think. The
honeymoon lasts
until you
actually start
pushing for the
change they said
they wanted. It
turns out what
got you the job
isn’t what will
help you keep
it. Pointing out
issues and
working within
existing
structures
provokes
defensiveness
and racial
gaslighting.
You’re either
stonewalled, or
expected to fix
everything on
your own,
sometimes on top
of the job you
were hired for.
Eventually, you
pay the price
for the hope you
had; squeezed
out of the
organisation
because you
“weren’t the
right fit”, or
leaving of your
own accord,
depleted by
hostility.
Sound familiar?
It certainly is
to the scores of
black women who
flooded my inbox
after I shared a
graphic of the
troubling cycle
on LinkedIn, as
part of my work
as one of the
#LinkedIn
Changemakers,
using the
platform to
tackle
unconscious bias
in the
workplace.
Sadly, the
volume of
responses was
unsurprising. Of
course, this
cycle doesn’t
only happen to
black women and
women of colour,
but almost every
one of us has a
story (or
three). It
explains my love
of freelancing:
a benefit of
working for
yourself is that
no one gaslights
you into
thinking the
workplace racism
and sexism is
just “in your
head”.
It’s a cycle
that fits neatly
into the larger
arc of 2020. The
hashtag #PublishingPaidMe
went viral just
over a week ago,
calling for
authors to share
the advances
they received
for books to
highlight racial
disparities in
pay. No prizes
for guessing how
that turned out:
advances for
award-winning
black authors
like Jesmyn Ward
($100k) were
magnitudes
smaller than
unknown debut
white writers
like Chip Cheek
($800k for
erotic fiction).
Most of these
examples come
from the US, as
UK authors were
largely silent
about their
figures. It felt
like all the
noise in the
British
publishing
industry about
being excited
for change had
passed the
honeymoon phase
and was slipping
into denial.
Publishing paid
me an
embarrassingly
low figure, and
though I tell
myself that it’s
because You Must
Be Layla is a
teen fiction
book, the
hashtag made me
wonder. If the
best in the
industry have
consistently
been
undervalued,
what chance do
the rest of us
have? I don’t
know. But for
what it’s worth,
the flicker of
hope is still
glowing.
Spare a
thought for X AE
A-XII
If you thought
my name, Yassmin
Abdel-Magied,
was hard to
pronounce, spare
a thought for
Elon Musk and
Grimes’s
one-month-old
son, who has
been renamed X
AE A-XII, from X
Æ A-12, to
comply with
Californian law.
Though the new
version of the
baby’s name
(which pays
homage to a
version of their
favourite
aircraft, the
SR-17, and the
elven spelling
of AI) is legal,
it is no easier
to pronounce.
Nickname,
anyone?

Activist and peace prize winner Malala
Yousafzai celebrates Oxford degree at home
 |
Known the world over for
her campaign for girls' education, Nobel
Peace Prize winner Malala Yousafzai has
now finished her degree at Oxford
University and, like all students, is
just looking forward to some sleep and
some movies.
With universities in Britain temporarily
closed due to the coronavirus pandemic,
Ms Yousafzai posted pictures on social
media which showed her celebrating with
a cake and balloons, and covered in
foam, paint and confetti as per
tradition for Oxford students on the
last day of their final exams.
"Hard to express my joy and gratitude
right now as I completed my Philosophy,
Politics and Economics degree at
Oxford," she said on her Twitter and
Instagram feeds.
"I don't know what's ahead. For now, it
will be Netflix, reading and sleep."
Congratulations poured in on social
media, including from aid charity Oxfam,
which said: "Congratulations, you are an
inspiration!"
Hollywood and Bollywood star Priyanka
Chopra Jonas, who has 54 million
Instagram followers, said:
"Congratulations Malala!! That's
amazing."
Ms Yousafzai, now 22, survived being
shot in the head by a Taliban gunman in
2012, after she was targeted for her
campaign against efforts by the Taliban
to deny women education.
She had become known as an 11-year-old
writing a blog under a pen name for the
BBC about living under the rule of the
Pakistani Taliban.
A gunman arrived at her school, asking
for her by name. He opened fire on her
and two classmates on a bus.
She was airlifted to a hospital, first
in Pakistan, and then to an intensive
care unit in England for multiple
operations.
After recovering, Ms Yousafzai attended
school in England, before winning the
place at Oxford.
At the age of 17, in 2014, Ms Yousafzai
became the youngest recipient of the
Nobel Peace Prize for her education
advocacy.
Through her Malala Fund, she has also
become a global symbol of the resilience
of women in the face of repression.
"Like many of you, the pandemic has
changed a lot about my final year of
university," she wrote in a post to
graduates in the Malala Fund's digital
newsletter for young women, Assembly,
speaking about how her brothers kept
interrupting her studies.
"It's hard not to think about all the
moments we're missing. But we didn't
miss out on the most important thing:
our education."

Your Brain Has A
Mind Of Its Own
Let us explore the
MIND (which is NOT
your brain, by the
way) and how the
mind is responsible
for our thoughts,
words, and actions.
The brain is an
organ whereas the
mind is something
larger and complex
in nature. It is the
part of the self
which is ghaib,
unseen.
It is commonly
believed that the
human mind works on
two levels – the
conscious and the
sub-conscious.
The conscious mind
is responsible for
your awareness – for
example, right now
you may be aware
that you are reading
this column, or that
you are breathing or
the soft or hard
surface you may be
sitting on, or the
environment you are
in.
The subconscious
mind is the storage
area. It is a
reservoir of every
single sensory body
experiences. It
holds 100% of
everything and acts
as a vast ocean of
information for the
conscious mind to
tap into and access.
The subconscious
mind is also where
perceptions and
beliefs are formed.
For example, when a
child is bullied for
being overweight,
that child will most
likely have a
perception that
his/her weight
defines his/her
abilities in life.
This perception may
cause the child to
avoid trying a new
sport at school
because he/she is
embarrassed about
being overweight and
feeling unworthy.
This limited
perception of self
leads the child to
accept the
closed-minded
identity of self and
repetitive, negative
self-talk: “I am
fat, therefore I’m
not good enough”.
Of course, this is a
completely false
perception but the
child is not aware
that it is false
because the child is
not aware that
he/she can actually
transform the
negative perception
into a positive one.
It is the child’s
body that is
overweight not the
child’s Essential
Self. The child has
unlimited potential
to do any activity
he/she puts the mind
to. However, the
subconscious mind
has formulated a
negative perception
hence the negative
self-talk and poor
self-esteem.
As adults, our
thought patterns,
self-talk and
behavioural patterns
are very much
influenced by how we
perceived ourselves
in childhood. Pause
for a moment and
reflect on your own
behaviours, thought
patterns and
self-talk…can you
connect the dots and
trace them back to
your child self?
Use this week to
make a note on what
your common thoughts
and patterns are,
for example, are you
afraid of the dark?
Are you fearful of
crowds? Do you feel
uncomfortable when
someone gives you a
compliment? Do you
get angry when
someone jokes about
your physical
appearance? Do you
find pleasure in
mocking others or
being sarcastic? Do
you feel insecure
about yourself when
you see other
people’s
accomplishments.
Have a Feelings
Journal to record
these daily
observations. Pay
particular attention
to your self-talk
and visuals that
recur in your
mind…for example,
what movie do you
play in the cinema
of your mind? Are
you a villain,
victim, or victor?
Are you kind in how
you perceive
yourself and others?
Remember, when you
are kind and caring
to self then you are
able to be kind and
caring to all of
ALLAH’s creation.
Always remember,
you are not your
experiences. You are
the FORCE that
overcomes them.

The CCN
Read, Then
Write Your Will
by
Hisham al-Aref, Nour Jifaleh
(Translator), Saleh Dalleh
(Translator)
|
DESCRIPTION
Islam highly recommends
writing a will, so much so
that a Muslim should not
spend a single night without
completing it.
Many man-made laws also
recognise the need for such
a document.
The absence of a will can
result in endless problems,
whereas its presence can act
as a tool through which the
deceased can communicate to
relatives and loved ones
even after death.
A will can include both
financial and religious
matters; it can also be a
document for reference.
Thus, a will can prevent
disputes and ensure that the
rights of the deceased’s
family and friends are
justly fulfilled.
In easy to understand
language, Hisham al-Aref
explains what should go into
writing a will and provides
sample wills to help you to
write your own.

MOVE it at midday
Taking an exercise break in the middle of your
work day can help you feel refreshed and could
boost your productivity post lunch-time.
Step out of the office for some much needed
fresh air and a good break for your eyes.
Get the timing right by munching on a fresh
salad while working and then get moving during
your lunch break, or vice-versa.
Get out and move before sitting down to lunch.
N-JOY!

THE LIFE OF THE PROPHET
(pbuh)
Early Life
Muhammad’s early life was
marked by hardship and loss.
His father, ‘Abdullah, died
before his birth while on a
trading mission in the town
of Yathrib, north of Mecca.
His mother, Aminah, died
when he was six, leaving his
respected grandfather, ‘Abd
al-Muttalib to care for him.
Two years later, his
grandfather also died and
Muhammad came to live with
his paternal uncle, Abu
Talib.
Despite belonging to the
wealthy tribe of Quraysh,
Muhammad did not grow up
amid riches.
His status as an orphan and
his belonging to the clan of
Banu Hashim — considered an
inferior branch of Quraysh—meant
he was not a part of the
ruling class.
He did, however, accompany
his uncle on numerous
trading missions to Syria in
his childhood, inaugurating
him into the age-old nomadic
tradition of the Arabs.
His reputation as an honest
trader led to him being
known by two nicknames: as-Sadiq
and al-Amin, meaning the
truthful and the
trustworthy.
He was thus respected by the
Quraysh, and he was
regularly trusted with money
and business transactions,
acting as an arbiter in many
cases.
By his twenties, Muhammad
was an accomplished
merchant, working as an
agent for a wealthy widow
named Khadijah.
Eventually, his reputation
as an honest and reliable
man caught the attention of
his employer, and when he
was twenty-five, Khadijah
proposed to Muhammad, who
accepted, despite being
several years her junior.
Although being surrounded by
a polytheistic
idol-worshipping society,
the young Muhammad did not
get involved in the religion
of the Quraysh.
The original monotheistic
message of Ibrahim and
Isma‘il was a faint memory
to most Arabs, but it still
held weight for a few, known
as the hunafa‘ (singular
hanif), meaning
“monotheists”, who refused
to accept the hundreds of
stone and wood gods.
Muhammad was one of them.
Instead of engaging in the
idol worship so rampant in
society, Muhammad chose
seclusion.
He made a habit of
retreating to a cave atop a
mountain about five
kilometers from the center
of Mecca, where he would sit
in silence and reflect on
the society and religion
that surrounded him in
Mecca.

Alhamdulillah, over many years
I have worked with many non-Muslims who have
always asked me about Muslims & Islam, and I
have shared as much and as best as I could
within my understanding and knowledge.
Alhamdulillah I have watch them develop a
beautiful understanding of our practices, to the
extent I have seen them explain and clarify
misconceptions to others.
Once again during this past Ramadan, much was
discussed over our staff iftar dinner meeting.
So I decided to document some of this basic
Islamic information in a simple to read and
understand website and share with my staff and
colleagues.
It’s intended to be as simple as can be, whilst
still providing a good overview, including some
multi-faith interviews which I found very
valuable even to me as a Muslim.
Feel free to use and share if you feel
appropriate.
I have also shared some of the beautiful Quran
recitations and supplications with English
translation.
