Queensland Police (QPS) were
once again invited to join
Qld Islamic leaders (Imams),
Officers from the Australian
Federal Police (AFP) and
local politicians in a
‘5-a-side’ round robin
football tournament to
celebrate the 4th
Anniversary of the Bosnian
Islamic Centre, Eight Miles
Plains.
The QPS team showcased some
creative
footwork during their
matches but ultimately fell
short during a penalty
shootout against the AFP,
who would go on to meet the
Qld Imams on their home turf
in the grand final.
Despite the AFP’s valiant
efforts, the Imams proved
too strong and claimed a
well-deserved 5-1 victory.
The Politicians were once
again the perennial wooden
spooners with no wins and no
goals scored. The local
State Member for Stretton
and Team Captain Duncan Pegg
committed to bringing a more
competitive team in 2019.
Federal Member for Moreton
begrudgingly accepted the
‘award’ on behalf of the
Stretton team.
Player of the tournament was
Imam Ibrahim Hadzihasanovic
from the Australian Bosnian
Mosque based in Deer Park,
Melbourne.
Despite
the hot conditions, the
tournament was enjoyed by
all and was followed by a
presentation and a formal
luncheon for all delegates
and participants.
“These events are the types
of relationships that
contribute to making our
communities safer for all”
said Chief Superintendent
Brian Swan APM.
“Keeping communities safe is
our core business and to do
this effectively, the
assistance and cooperation
of the community is vital”
South Brisbane District
Cross Cultural Liaison
Officer – Sgt Jim Bellos,
once again helped to
organise the event. Sgt
Bellos noted that “Sport is
a fantastic way to break
down barriers and through
proactive engagement, we
will continue to score many
goals together as a
community”.
Many thanks to all who came
out to support this event
At the annual “Leaders of
Positive Change” dinner
event organised by
Multicultural Families
Organisation, Haji Hussain
Baba of the Gold Coast
Mosque was a recipient of
the “Leaders of Positive
Change” award.
There were almost 500 guests
from over 90 different
cultural background in
attendance.
On Friday 26 October a
Somali mother of nine
children lost her Housing
Commission Home in Inala due
to a fire caused by an
electrical fault.
A police Liasion officer
contacted MCF to ask for
emergency assistance as the
family lost everything.
Due to generous donations
from the Muslim Community
MCF members, with the help
of Brothers in Need, were
able to supply white goods,
furniture, linen TV kitchen
goods and clothing. Brothers
in Need raised in excess of
$3000 cash for the family
which MCF have transferred
to the mother’s bank
account.
A big thank you to the
Indonesian sisters who
personally delivered goods
they donated. MCF also
delivered food hampers and
chicken donated by ABD
poultry.
Glenalla State High School
and the Australian
international Islamic
College provided free
uniforms to the children for
school.
The family are now well
settled and back to living a
normal life.
Thanks to Allah that no one
was home when the house
burnt down.

Australian International Islamic
College for the drought relief

The ongoing contribution by
financial members, as well
as the self-sacrifice of
many volunteers over the
years has played a pivotal
role in the advancement of
member services, educational
programs and social
activities provided by the
Albanian Australian Islamic
Society (AAIS) today.
Another equally important
aspect of the Society is
that it has always provided
financial members with the
opportunity to complete
their religious obligations
in the form of collecting
and distributing Fiter,
Kurban and Zakat (Charity)
to people who are less
fortunate in the world.
More locally, the AAIS was
one of the very first (since
1971) Islamic Societies to
mobilise its community to
donate towards the Royal
Children’s Hospital (RCH)
appeal.
The annual RCH collection
and donation, which has
become a tradition at our
Society, is still conducted
to the present day and it is
strongly supported by
financial members and their
families.
Additionally, over the last
twenty years or more, the
AAIS’s Executive Committee
and Women’s Committee have
greatly expanded the
Society’s ‘Broader Community
Engagement’ portfolio by
initiating and actively
getting involved in a number
of social programs that have
had a direct and positive
impact on the lives of many
people in the broader
Australian community.
Such initiatives have
provided a lot more
opportunities for the
Society’s financial members
and their families to
physically participate in
extra charitable and
public-spirited programs –
something that many may not
possibly have found time to
perform on their own in the
past.
Some of the local
initiatives include: the
biannual Group Blood Drives,
annual Cars & Coffee (RCH),
Australia’s Biggest Morning
Tea (Cancer Council), as
well as the purchase and
distribution of Back-Pack
Beds for Melbourne’s
Homeless community.
Since September 2017, the
AAIS Executive Committee
started working together
with Community Care Network
(CCN) to support their
weekly Feeding Melbourne’s
Homeless program.
Through the arrangement of
volunteer teams and the
active participation of
members from our Society,
the AAIS has continued to
support the program on a
regular basis.
Recently, the AAIS organised
three (3) more teams of
volunteers that took part in
three separate sessions of
the corresponding program
(i.e. 14 July 2018, 4 August
2018 and 15 September 2018).
What is really pleasing to
see is that there are always
new faces from the AAIS
community joining our
volunteer teams, as well as
the fact that everyone who
takes part in the program
thoroughly enjoys the whole
experience – actually, many
have expressed their
interest in joining the AAIS
volunteer team again to
participate in the program.
Police stand
guard in a Uighur neighbourhood
in the Xinjiang region.
Shanghai: Australia has
urged China to end the
arbitrary detention of
Uighurs and other Muslim
ethnic groups in its vast
western province of Xinjiang,
at a United Nations review
of China’s human rights
practices.
The focus on China’s new
policy to systemically
detain hundreds of thousands
of Uighur’s for re-education
came on the eve of foreign
affairs minister Marise
Payne’s first visit to
Beijing.
Australia was among 13
countries to raise the
treatment of Uighurs during
China’s third Universal
Periodic Review at the
United Nations Human Rights
Council.
Speeches were limited to 45
seconds, but in its full
written statement, Australia
was more scathing, noting
"significant regression" in
China's civil and political
rights since the last review
five years ago.
Australian diplomats are not
permitted to travel to
Xinjiang, and Australia,
which is a member of the UN
Human Rights Council, urged
China to allow the United
Nations and foreign
officials access to Xinjiang.
Fairfax Media travelled
independently to Xinjiang
last month, obtaining rare
photographs of some of the
massive new re-education
centres for Uighurs, before
being detained by Chinese
police.
Xinjiang residents in Turpan
told Fairfax Media that 40
per cent of the town was
being held inside large
white buildings surrounded
with razor wire and
surveillance cameras, across
seven sites in Turpan.
No inmates had left the
centres since they were
built two years ago,
although Turpan inmates were
allowed one phone call a
week and a visit from family
every 15 days.
Fairfax Media witnessed
Uighurs undergoing repeated
identity checks at road
blocks to enter towns, and
having to prove to police
their reasons and permission
to travel to exit train
stations.
Australia’s statement to the
UN review called for China
to cease restrictions on
Uighur’s freedom of
movement.
Australia has one of the
largest populations of
expatriate Uighurs outside
of Turkey and central Asia.
The department of foreign
affairs told a recent Senate
hearing that Uighur
Australians had sought
assistance from their local
members of parliament after
losing contact with family
members in Xinjiang.
China argues its new policy
of sending Uighurs to what
it terms vocational training
centres to learn Chinese,
study national laws and
acquire work skills, is a
preventative measures to
stop terrorism.
But the Australian statement
to the UN review said
Australia shares the alarm
of the United Nations
Committee for the
Elimination of Racial
Discrimination (CERD) at
"numerous reports of
detention of large numbers
of ethnic Uighurs and other
Muslim groups held
incommunicado and often for
long periods without being
charged or tried, which
exacerbates rather than
prevents religious
extremism".
China’s delegation to the UN
review included Yasim Sadiq,
the mayor of Xinjiang’s
capital Urumuqi, who said
that the Uighurs inside the
centres were students being
shown how to resist
religious extremism. They
were discovering “how rich
and colourful life could
be”.
“The extreme terrorism in
Xinjiang was quite serious,”
he said.
When Fairfax Media travelled
to Urumuqi, journalists were
forced to delete photographs
of police guarding mosques,
and were followed by six
secret police in two cars.
Other countries to question
China on the treatment of
Uighurs included Canada,
France, Germany, Britain,
the Czech Republic, Finland
and the United States.
China’s vice minister of
foreign affairs, Le Yucheng,
said: “We will not accept
the politically-driven
accusations of a few
countries that are fraught
with biases and in total
disregard of the facts.”
He added that “stability is
most important” in Xinjiang
and the training centres
were “a preventative measure
to combat terrorism”.
Trainees would receive a
diploma when they graduated
from the centres, the UN
review was told.
The AMU Alumni Association
of Victoria celebrated ‘Sir
Syed Day’ on the occasion of
the 201st birth Anniversary
of Sir Syed Ahmad Khan on 20
October 2018,at Lynbrook
Community Centre in
Melbourne.
The Alumni paid tribute to
the founder, Sir Syed Ahmad
Khan, who established
Mohamedan Anglo-Oriental
College (MAO) in Aligarh,
India in 1875, which became
Aligarh Muslim University in
1920.
It was a memorable event
attended by nearly 200
members and their families.
Mr Faisal Siddiqi said that
he was fascinated by Sir
Syed’s life and work
especially his focus on
Islam, Science and Modern
Education.
“The mixing of the east with
the best of the west to see
if there could be a new
identity, culture and
vision. It was not just
about the future of India
and Muslims but the future
of humanity, Mr Siddiqui
said.
Prof Parveen Rukhsana, a
retired professor of history
from Gulbarga University,
Karnataka, mentioned Sir
Syed’s famous quote – “India
is a beautiful bride, whose
one eye is Hindu and the
other Muslim.” This is the
hope of humanity and Sir
Syed’s thinking.
Mr Rashid Sultan shared his
thoughts to promote the
importance of Urdu as a true
reflection of great Indian
culture and tradition. He
appreciated the contribution
of AMU Alumni and reiterated
the need to foster bonds
between AMU and Victoria.
The speakers were unanimous
about Sir Syed Ahmad Khan’s
extraordinary contribution
to Indian society and
education.
The Second International
Conference on Organ
Transplantation in Islam
will be held at the Western
Sydney University on 22 and
23 November.
This conference explores a
rare topic in Islamic
theological and social
scientific discussions; how
Islam deals with organ
transplantation.
Existing studies on organ
transplantation, rare as
they are, either look at the
argument in support of organ
transplantation and
donation, or the argument
that considers organ
transplantation and donation
to be prohibited in Islam.
What is missing is a clear
and authoritative response
to the question of organ
transplantation and donation
in Islam.
Whether organ
transplantation and donation
is permissible or not in
Islam, robust theological
and social scientific
discussions are necessary
for individuals to make an
informed determination
Each week CCN presents the
abstract and biography of
one of the speakers at the
conference:
There are approximately 1.84
billion Muslims in the world
today, making up 24.38% of
the world’s population, or
just under one-quarter of
mankind. As well as being
citizens of their respective
countries, they also have a
sense of belonging to the
‘ummah’, the worldwide
Muslim community.
The Muslim500 publication
sets out to ascertain the
influence some Muslims have
on this community, or on
behalf of the community.
Influence is: any person who
has the power (be it
cultural, ideological,
financial, political or
otherwise) to make a change
that will have a significant
impact on the Muslim world.
Note that the impact can be
either positive or negative,
depending on one’s point of
view of course.
Halimah Yacob became
Singapore’s eighth, and
first female, President in
September 2017 when she was
elected unopposed.
Election: A former
speaker of Parliament she
gave up her parliamentary
seat and position with the
ruling People’s Action Party
to run for President. The
government’s criteria for
the current President,
including that the President
must be an ethnic Malay,
meant that Yacob was
unopposed and became
President unelected, a
process which has drawn some
criticism. She is the first
ethnic Malay President for
47 years.
Background: Halimah
Yacob came from humble
beginnings, being raised by
her Malay mother after her
Indian father passed away
when she 8 years old. She
qualified as a lawyer before
moving to work at the
National Trades Union
Congress, and then becoming
Director of the Singapore
Institute of Labour Studies
She entered politics in 2001
and a decade later was
appointed Minister of
Community Development, Youth
and Sports and later on
Minister of Social and
Family Development.
ANOTHER FROM THE TOP 50
INFLUENTIAL MUSLIMS IN NEXT
WEEK'S CCN
The
true face of
Islam won’t be
found in mosques
or Muslim
schools, but at
the British
Museum
Right, a

In Britain
today, Islam in
its original
essence is not
to be found in
mosques or
Muslim schools,
but on the first
floor of the
British Museum.
There, the
Albukhary
Islamic gallery,
newly opened to
the public,
dazzles visitors
and defies every
certainty
promoted by
today’s hardline
Muslim
activists. This
spectacular
exhibition of
objects from
across
continents and
centuries shows
us a history of
continuity of
civilisations,
coexistence of
communities. It
offers a
compelling
corrective to
current popular
notions of Islam
as an idea and a
civilisation.
Too often, we
assume that
Islam’s arrival
on the world
stage involved
some violent
break with the
past that
brought forth a
new Muslim
civilisation.
The artefacts,
coins, pottery
and tiles on
display here
from the British
Museum’s own
collection from
the 7th century
onwards reveal a
different and
more accurate
history. The
Prophet Mohammed
was born in 570
in a world
dominated by the
Sasanians and
Byzantines. He
and his
followers
broadly followed
the art and
architecture,
empire and power
structures, of
this
pre-existing
world. The
earliest Islamic
coins were
copies of the
gold and silver
drachms used by
the Sasanians.
Even the name of
the Muslim gold
coin, the dinar,
was derived from
the Roman
denarius.
Euclid’s
Elements taught
Muslims the
rules for the
monumental
mosques they
built with their
domes and
perfect
proportions.
Gilded flasks
from Syria from
as late as the
mid-1200s show
designs with an
eagle and
dancer, popular
motifs in the
arts of the
Mediterranean at
the time. The
Prophet’s shirt
was ‘Made in
Rome’. Medieval
Muslim
philosophers
such as Averroes
referred to
Aristotle as
‘al-Shaikh al-Yunani’,
the Greek shaikh.
Islam did not
kill the
Greco-Roman
past, but
revived it. That
spirit radiates
through the
British Museum’s
exhibition.
Coexistence was
the hallmark of
Muslim
civilisations,
from China to
the Philippines,
from Malaysia to
Africa and the
Middle East. It
was not isolated
to Muslim Spain.
Jewish,
Christian and
Muslim bread
stamps, a
practice from
Roman times,
thrived in
Muslim-controlled
Egypt. The
gallery has a
sample of
remarkable stone
stamps from
between 1000 and
1200. Paintings
and tile works,
engravings on
flasks, works by
Sephardi Jews
and Armenian
Christians, but
also perfume
carriers from
11th-century
Ismailis and
19th-century
paintings from
Bahais, show the
diversity that
thrived within
Islamic
civilisations.
A powerful
corrective
awaits schools
and teachers
from across the
country who
visit the
museum. Today’s
insular Muslim
community
leaders may
reject science
and Darwin,
oppose music as
a tool of the
devil, and cover
their women for
fear of love and
lust. But from
the 700s
onwards,
scientists and
thinkers built
on pre-Islamic
advances in the
study of
astronomy and
other sciences.
Astrolabes, the
name derived
from the Greek
astro labos or
‘star-taker’,
were the
computers of the
time. A
magnificent
13th-century
astrolabe
reminds us of
the patronage of
innovation in
science and free
thought by
medieval Muslim
rulers.
Musical
instruments from
various Muslim
civilisations
are evidence
that music, with
its diverse
regional styles,
was significant
in religious and
secular
settings.
Theatre, dance
performances,
divine
remembrance or
dhikr using
music were all
popular in
mosques, town
squares and at
Sufi gatherings.
Yet Islamic
State, the
Taleban and
other hardliners
ban music today.
The curators do
a fantastic job
of tackling
modern
shibboleths with
intelligence and
subtlety. The
Taleban
detonated the
ancient Bamiyan
Buddhas and
Islamic State
exploded parts
of Palmyra
because the
statues and
figurative art
offended the
sensitivities of
today’s
literalist
monotheists. A
centuries-long
collection of
tiles and jugs
and other
objects shows us
that figurative
art was normal
in the Islamic
world. Umayyad
coins from the
7th century,
decades after
the passing of
the Prophet,
carry the image
of the caliph
Abd al-Malik
(r.685–705).
Verses of the
Quran appeared
on tiles with
peacocks as late
as 1308; Persian
dishes from the
1600s, possibly
from Muslim
hunting lodges,
were decorated
with pheasants.
This love of
beauty and
divinity did not
shy away from
human desire.
The British
Museum has a
copy of the
Mughal’s
Hamzanama (Book
of Hamza), an
epic romance
inspired by the
Prophet’s uncle
Amir Hamza. Also
on display is
the other
classic tale of
deep yearning,
the story of
Layla and Majnun,
lovers who met
at school and
have inspired
generations of
Muslims. That
true love is
remembered at
the British
Museum. Although
Layla loves
Majnun, the two
are forbidden to
marry — the
eternal story.
Where is that
Islam of love,
compassion and
coexistence?
Hasan al-Basri,
an 8th-century
Muslim thinker
from Basra, was
so frustrated
with the Muslims
of his day,
compared with
earlier
believers, that
he wrote: ‘The
Muslims are all
in their graves
and Islam is
only to be found
in books.’ In
Britain today,
it seems that
real Islam is
only to be found
in the British
Museum.
As a kid, I was always told
that Muslims are bad people.
Evil people. I was
brainwashed to be
intimidated by them.
But then, I visited dozens
of Muslim countries, and I
realized that they are THE
MOST amazing, humble, and
hospitable people on this
earth.
The truth is that roughly
1/4th of the world is
Muslim. So if Islam was a
religion of "violence," then
there would be no people
left on earth.
This video explains my
honest feelings for the
world of Islam, and I hope
you will listen to every
word I say because it's 100%
the truth.
Muslims and Jews unite in

massacre
"Immediately when we got the
calls about the tragedy, my
phone was filled with phone
calls and text messages from
community members: 'what can

Wasi Mohamed, the Executive
Director of the Islamic
Center of Pittsburgh, has
helped lead an effort that's
raised more than $190,000
for those impacted by the

Anderson Cooper the two
Pittsburgh communities have
a longstanding relationship:
"History may have divided
us, but faith brings us
together."

Night of firsts: Candidates make
history in US midterms
Ilhan Omar, a Somali refugee who
won a House seat in Minnesota,
was one of two Muslim women
elected to Congress for the
first time
USA: It was a
night of firsts
in the midterm
elections as US
voters elected
two Muslim
women, two
Native American
women and their
first openly gay
governor.
The election of
two Muslim
women, both
Democrats, to
Congress, marks
a historic first
in a country
where
anti-Muslim
rhetoric has
been on the
rise.
Ilhan Omar, a
Somali refugee,
won a House of
Representatives
seat in a
heavily-Democratic
district in the
Midwestern state
of Minnesota,
where she will
succeed Keith
Ellison, himself
the first Muslim
elected to
Congress.
Rashida Tlaib, a

born in Detroit
to Palestinian
immigrant
parents, won a
seat in a
district where
she ran
unopposed by a
Republican
candidate.
The two
politicians will

This
vigorously argued book reveals the central role
that Islam has played in European history.
Following the movement of people, culture and
religion from East to West, Goody breaks down
the perceived opposition between Islam and
Europe, showing Islam to be a part of Europe's
past and present.
In an historical analysis of religious warfare
and forced migration, Goody examines our
understanding of legitimate violence, ethnic
cleansing and terrorism.
His comparative perspective offers important and
illuminating insights into current political
problems and conflicts.
Goody traces three routes of Islam into Europe,
following the Arab through North Africa, Spain
and Mediterranean Europe; the Turk through
Greece and the Balkans; and the Mongol through
Southern Russia to Poland and Lithuania.
Each thrust made its mark on Europe in terms of
population and culture.
Yet this was not merely a military impact:
especially in Spain, but elsewhere too, Europe
was substantially modified by this contact.
Today it takes the form of some eleven million
immigrants, not to speak of the possible
incorporation of further millions through
Bosnia, Albania and Turkey.

Mind
Matters
Welcome to my weekly
column on
Self-Care and
Clarity of Mind.
If you’re taking
time out to read
this, pat yourself
on the back because
you have shown
commitment to taking
care of your mind
and body.
Today, In Shaa
ALLAH, we will
explore the topic:
How to Overcome
Jealousy
One of the most
common, complex
emotions felt by
humans is known as
Jealousy. It
originates from the
root Greek word,
Zeal, meaning
extreme passion or
enthusiasm.
Jealousy manifests
in the body when a
person has thoughts
of envy towards
someone’s
achievements,
relationships or
material
possessions.
Jealousy usually
creeps into the
person in the form
of fear, anger or
humiliation.
From the Islamic
perspective, the
story of brothers
Qabil and Habil,
sons of Adam (AS,
fabulously portrays
the manifestation
and consequences of
jealousy in humans.
Why do we feel
Jealousy?
The underlying cause
of jealousy is lack
of self-worth.
Self-worth is how
you feel about
yourself. If you
lack love, respect
and trust in your
own self and your
abilities, your
self-worth
diminishes. It makes
sense then to be
negatively affected
by someone else’s
joys and
accomplishments.
Your negative
thought patterns
(whisperings from
Shaytaan), will find
ways to justify
those feelings of
jealousy in ways
whereby you hold
other people
responsible for your
own lack of
self-worth.
For example, if the
husband feels
jealous about his
wife’s close bond
with her brother, it
is time he reflected
on his self-worth,
especially with
regards to feelings
of rejection he may
be harbouring from
the past. Another
example is when a
woman is jealous of
the accomplishments
of another woman.
This indicates deep
rooted insecurities
and requires the
woman who is feeling
jealous to process
the memories and
feelings that evoke
her insecurities.
Jealousy is nothing
but a yearning for
approval because
somewhere deep in
your subconscious
mind there is a
belief, toxic and
unchallenged, that
you are beneath
others. This
negative perception
of self convinces
you that you are
worth less than
another and
therefore you feel
hurt, humiliated,
fearful and
sometimes angry with
this feeling of
“inequality in
worthiness”.
Jealousy
= False
Perception
that
someone
is
better
than you
The
Truth =
You are
neither
beneath
nor
above
anyone
else.
How to Overcome
Jealousy
My motto in life is
“awareness is the
first step towards
transformation”.
Like anything in
life, if you wish to
transform something,
you first need to
become aware and
identify what it is
that requires
transformation.
1. Become aware
of how your body
behaves when you
feel jealousy.
2. Acknowledge
that you are
feeling this
negative emotion
called jealousy.
3. Express this
feeling to
someone you
trust by saying
these words: “I
am experiencing
feelings of
jealousy
towards....and I
need to
understand why.”
The moment you
express it
verbally, you
are no longer
letting the

On 31 December 2017 the only
Islamic childcare centre in the whole of Brisbane had to
unfortunately close its doors due to the Department of
Transport requiring it for their future expansion. To
date they are still in the process of securing new
premises to continue serving this very important need of
the community and the wait continues….
In the interim the need is
still there. The question most Muslims would be asking
themselves is “Where do I send my child so that he/she
can learn, grow and develop in an Islamic environment,
and establish a sound Islamic foundation?”
Msasa Montessori is a private home based learning centre
for 3-5 year olds. The focus is an Islamic based
learning environment alongside the Montessori method of
teaching. Children will be taught their basic duas,
surahs, tasbeehs, stories of the Prophets will be read
and enacted, and Inshallah their love for Allah and His
Noble Prophet Muhammed S.A.W will develop. Supported by
the Montessori method of teaching they will develop
their independence and will utilise equipment which will
enable them to develop and grow.
Montessori is a method of education based on
self-directed activity, hands-on learning and
collaborative play. The Montessori materials cover
developmental activities designed to meet the needs of
children in five curriculum areas:
Practical life skills, Sensorial activities,
Mathematics, Language and Cultural Studies.
By providing such an
environment, the children will develop a strong sense of
wellbeing and identity as Muslims and they will become
confident and involved learners with the ability to
communicate effectively and with confidence.
