Eid Al-Adha by Suma Haji September 27, 2013 22 Dhu al-Qi’dah 1434 Eid al-Adha By Suma Haji IASV Event Calendar Eid al-Adha, literally known as the “festival of sacrifice”, is celebrated by Muslims around the world every year.

Halaqas Eid al-Adha is the latter of the two holy Eid holidays, the first Wednesdays, 12-1:30 one being Eid Al-Fitr. Eid al-Adha marks the end of the Hajj, Women’s Halaqa (in Arabic) which is the annual pilgrimage to Mecca, this is also one of the five pillars of Islam. Like Eid al-Fitr, Eid al-Adha begins with Saturdays after Maghrib men and women dressing in their finest clothes once again, Men’s Halaqa (In Arabic) and gathering at the mosque to join in the Sunnah prayer followed by a Khutbah. This is also a time where family and Sunday’s after Fajr friends visit each other and offer gifts. During this Eid, it is Men’s Halaqa (In Kurdish) obligatory to give to charity, and this can be done by giving money to the poor; so they too can buy clothes and food to celebrate this holy day. Visit us at http://iasv.org Saturday School 2 By Nahla Aboutabl Each academic year, the mosque provides an Islamic school to the communi- ty’s children. The school caters to pre-k through middle school students and is held every Saturday at the mosque from 11:30 a.m. till Dhur prayer. Volunteers from around the community come to teach children Arabic and Islamic les- sons, including JMU and EMU students. There are around fourteen volunteers and approximately 100 students. Registration this year was at the end of Au- gust. A $50 fee per student covers school supplies, books, drinks, as well as sub- sidizes some of the costs required for possible field trips, while snacks are donat- ed. Dr. Abdelrahamn Rabie, the school’s principle, oversees the recruitment of teachers and the organization of classrooms based on levels. He also makes sure that the necessary supplies and books are available for both the students and the volunteer teachers. Rabie sees a lot of improvement from the time the school first started. “We started having this school about ten years ago. Now, have more students as well as more volunteers. There’s also more structure; a more efficient system to run the school by,” Rabie said. Students not only learn basic Arabic needed to read the Quran and lessons pertaining to Islam depending on their age group, but they also interact with other Muslim kids their age in the community. “A big benefit of this school is that kids see other Muslims and therefor won’t feel alone in this society. Parents also get to meet other Muslim parents. The school provides a sense of belonging,” Rabie said. The school is always open to suggestions and volunteers. What is Hajj? By Manal Alotaibi 3 In Islam, every muslim have 5 duties, things we must do. One of these duties is Hajj. Hajj is the pilgrimage to Mecca. Pilgrimage means traveling. Hajj happens once every year. Muslims all around the world travel using buses, airplanes, ships and cars to Mecca. All muslim men during hajj wear white, while women wear their normal regular clothes. When Pilgrims (muslim men and women who go to do hajj) get to Mecca, they do Tawaf. Tawaf is walking around the Ka- bah seven times. Doing Tawaf helps pilgrims to remember the time prophet Ibrahim (PBUH) and his wife Hajar (PBUH) and their son Ismail (PBUH) lived in Mecca. Mecca was in the desert and there were only mountains and hills. One day ismail (PBUH) was crying because he was very thirsty, so his mom held him and walked 7 times back and forth between two hills named Safa and Marwah trying to find water to give to baby Ismail (PBUH)so he would stop crying. Walking so much in the hot weather made Hajar (PBUH) and Ismail (PBUH) very tired and they became even more thirsty. After walking the seventh time around, Allah (SWT) gave Hajar (PBUH) and Ismail (PBUH) a spring of fresh water from the rocks in the desert. This spring is called Zamzam. After Tawaf, Pilgrims go and stay at tents in a place called Mina and spend the night there. The next day, pilgrims go to a place called Arafat where they pray and make dua and spend the night outside collecting rocks for the next day. The following day, pil- grims use the rocks to throw at three walls. They throw these rocks to remember to keep Shaitan out of their lives. To finish hajj pilgrims sacrifice an animal. Any Muslims that cannot go to hajj also has to sacrifice an animal. This day is called Eid al-Adha. All muslims should make Hajj at least once in their lifetime. After Hajj we all celebrate by wearing nice clothes, going to the masjid to pray, giving presents and visiting with family and friends. Eid Al adha will be here soon so get your clothes ready and make lots of duas (prayer) to Allah (SWT). 4 Parking Lot Project On Monday September 23, 2013 excavation begain on Phase 2 of the IASV Masjid’s parking lot.

  • Islamic Universities and Their Impact on Singapore Graduates
    ISSUE: 2019 No. 35 ISSN 2335-6677 RESEARCHERS AT ISEAS – YUSOF ISHAK INSTITUTE ANALYSE CURRENT EVENTS Singapore | 30 April 2019 Islamic Universities and Their Impact on Singapore Graduates Norshahril Saat and Fauzan Arif Roslee* EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Typically, Singaporean students reading Islamic studies choose to study at one of the universities in the Middle East. The Al-Azhar University (in Egypt), the Islamic University of Madinah (in Saudi Arabia), and universities in Jordan are among the more popular choices. The formation of Islamic universities in Malaysia since the 1980s has given these students alternatives. The International Islamic University of Malaysia (IIUM), is the second most popular destination for madrasah students after Al-Azhar. This Perspective examines the pros and cons of studying in these universities. It hopes to inform the planning for the Singapore Islamic College (SIC), if it is even necessary to have one in the first place. Concerns regarding Islamic education should go beyond the fields of security and terrorism and the threat of “Arabisation”. Rather, the primary focus should be how Islamic education can facilitate graduates’ immersion into Singapore’s secular and multi-racial setting. * Norshahril Saat is Fellow at ISEAS – Yusof Ishak Institute. He is the Principal Investigator for a project entitled “Singapore’s Islamic Studies Graduates: Their Role and Impact in a Plural Society” funded by Ministry of Education’s (SSRTG). Fauzan Arif Roslee is Research Officer with the Institute. 1 ISSUE: 2019 No. 35 ISSN 2335-6677 INTRODUCTION In January 2019, the Singapore Ministry of Home Affairs issued a Restriction Order (RO) under the Internal Security Act (ISA) on Murad Said, an Islamic religious teacher.

  • Glossary of Islam 1 Glossary of Islam
    Glossary of Islam 1 Glossary of Islam This article is part of a series on: Islam Islam portal The following list consists of notable concepts that are derived from both Islamic and Arab tradition, which are expressed as words in the Arabic language. The main purpose of this list is to disambiguate multiple spellings, to make note of spellings no longer in use for these concepts, to define the concept in one or two lines, to make it easy for one to find and pin down specific concepts, and to provide a guide to unique concepts of Islam all in one place. Separating concepts in Islam from concepts specific to Arab culture, or from the language itself, can be difficult. Many Arabic concepts have an Arabic secular meaning as well as an Islamic meaning. One example is the concept of dawah. Arabic, like all languages, contains words whose meanings differ across various contexts. The word Islam is itself a good example. Arabic is written in its own alphabet, with letters, symbols, and orthographic conventions that do not have exact equivalents in the Latin alphabet (see Arabic alphabet). The following list contains transliterations of Arabic terms and phrases; variations exist, e.g. din instead of deen and aqidah instead of aqeedah. Most items in the list also contain their actual Arabic spelling. • Top • 0–9 • A • B • C • D • E • F • G • H • I • J • K • L • M • N • O • P Glossary of Islam 2 • Q • R • S • T • U • V • W • X • Y • Z (ﻋﺒﺪ) Abd' servant, worshipper, slave.

On the other hand, this study was limited to the study of course circles. Thousands of students participate in this educational activity which is carried out in two main groups, namely Quranic and scientific circles. 112,243 students from 102 countries participated in the Quranic circles, which aimed to read and memorize the Quran correctly between 1-29 April 2014. This corresponds to an average of 5,353 participants per day. Between 15-27 May 2014, a total of 8,750 students participated in the science circles based on the memorization of classical texts.

Communicating History: The Mnemonic Battles of the 2011 Arab Uprisings Abstract This dissertation explores how history has been communicated during the 2011 Arab uprisings and their aftermath (2011-2015). It is a study about the struggle for finding a historically-grounded revolutionary narrative for an assumed Arab body politic that is torn apart by multiple political forces. I analyze popular communicative practices that invoke history and argue that they have played a crucial role in propagating a narrative that portrayed the uprisings as a collective Arab revolution and awakening. The strategic claim that protestors were making history, I suggest, paved the way for expressing hopes about the future through invoking past history. From 2011 to 2015 in the Arab world, contentious debates about politics were often expressed through a language and a symbolism about history. These controversies were projected towards specific symbols and tropes, which evoked condensed cultural meanings, and which became subsequently used to communicate political aspirations and to assert power in the present and onto the future.

ABOUT THE CENTER ON EXTREMISM The ADL Center on Extremism (COE) is one of the world’s foremost authorities on extremism, terrorism, anti-Semitism and all forms of hate. For decades, COE’s staff of seasoned investigators, analysts and researchers have tracked extremist activity and hate in the U.S. and abroad — online and on the ground. The staff, which represent a combined total of substantially more than 100 years of experience in this arena, routinely assist law enforcement with extremist-related investigations, provide tech companies with critical data and expertise and respond to wide-ranging media requests. As ADL’s research and investigative arm, COE is a clearinghouse of real-time information about extremism and hate of all types.

You can find the full complement of COE’s research and publications at ADL.org. ADL is a leading anti-hate organization that was founded in 1913 in response to an escalating climate of anti-Semitism and bigotry. Today, ADL is still the first call when acts of anti-Semitism occur and continues to fight all forms of hate. A global leader in exposing extremism, delivering anti-bias education and fighting hate online, ADL’s ultimate goal is a world in which no group or individual suffers from bias, discrimination or hate.
