Islamic Society of UNSW - ISOC UNSW

The Islamic Society of UNSW would like to wish  Ramadan Mubarak to you all! 

Please note that fasting will start on Saturday 22 August 2009.


Iftars:

As you probably know, there will be a few iftars provided a few nights a week this year.  These are announced at the jumu'ah, and are written on the board in the musallah. At the moment we are planinng to have our first iftar on Monday 24 August 2009.  All of our iftars and taraweeh prayers will have facilities for the sisters.

Every other day, there are dates left in the musallah and drinks. 

This year we need your help to continue hosting iftars at night .  As iftar time has crept forward from last year, there are more students who finish uni and require to break their fast at university.  This means that providing iftar on any particular night is harder than last year, and takes more resources. Every night we need three teams. First team is one for preparation (we need 3 people), second team is for serving food (we need 5 people), and the last team is for cleaing up (we need 7 people). Please put your name down on the form at the Musallah against a conveneint day for you and grab the rewards from Allah.

It was another beautiful Friday and the sun was high in the sky. A perfect day for a bbq. As the Muslims had completed their sacred Friday prayers, there were rows of servery tables and the ISOC committee, along with their devoted helpers, served at least 150-200 brothers and sisters. The event was a great success. Such events help build important relationships within the Muslim society on campus and that was one of the main key factors that ISOC was aiming for.

The feedback was great and the Muslims on campus enjoyed the event. The isoc committee will be enjoying more future bbq’s on campus and will continue to serve students and staff in the near future inshallah.
