First and foremost, we would like to apologise for organizing this event at this particular time, where almost all other clubs have had their AGM much earlier.
For this year's first major Vic Muslims event, we would like to invite all (registered AND non-registered) club members to attend - the more the merrier!
There will be a Q&A session where we would like to Zatynoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8823631266580762190.post-69756402124231375572011-04-03T07:22:00.000+12:002011-04-03T07:22:26.074+12:00Daylight SavingsSalam and greetings,
Don't forget to adjust your clocks today by turning them back by 1 hour. This will of course affect the prayer times, in case you were wondering.

The recent earthquake and tsunami tragedy that has befallen Japan is immensely horrifying, as tens of thousands are suspected to have been killed, while more than a million homes have been destroyed. Until now, power and water are still not reaching some parts of the region, and emergency supplies are scarce in many of these areas.

The internet & word-of-mouth invites (among them, on this blog as well as Facebook) was out for just a few days, and yet we received so many positive responses! Alhamdulillah!
We are sad to say, however, that the limit has been reached. We will now sort through the bookings and notify the interested parties whether or not they got in (if they haven't yet been contacted).

Muslims in New Zealand
New Zealand is a multicultural country, and people are generally friendly and accepting of diversity. Religious tolerance tends to be practiced towards people from diverse backgrounds, and its citizens are naturally curious about background and practices of faith of Muslims and other religions.
