Islam Awareness Workshops presented by UCT MSA

The UCT MSA has partnered with a number of organizations to host a series of educational workshops that are to come during this semester. These workshops will cover key aspects affecting Muslims. These include:

• The five pillars of Islam
• Janaazah and Burial
• Inheritance and Will
• General Questions and answer sessions

Aim/Rationale for the workshops: Provide/refresh Islamic knowledge for fundamental Islamic & Fiqh issues

As the future parents and leaders of the society, we have the responsibility of practicing, spreading and representing Islam. This requires a firm understanding of what the requirements of our Deen are, complimenting the academic knowledge we're pursuing at University.

The Workshops started on 8 August 2008 and will run until 17 October 2009. Guest speakers include Mufti AK Hoosen, Moulana Suleman Moola and many more.

Positive Living as a program of Islamic Relief Worldwide is a response to the increasing rate of HIV infections daily. It is apparent that the broader Muslim community lacks accurate knowledge and information about HIV/AIDS. Through the Orphans and Vulnerable children’s program, Islamic Relief South Africa has learnt about the experiences and incidents of stigma, discrimination and basic neglect of people living with HIV and AIDS.  This prompted us to initiate Positive Living as a separate program within Islamic Relief Worldwide in 2009.

We would like to invite you to a meeting on Saturday 25^th July 2009 from 15h30pm -17h00pm to discuss the way in which medical professionals like yourself can become an HIV trainer within the Islamic Relief Positive Living Network.

The meeting will be held at our new offices at 62 Little Road, Athlone.
