Niqabic Symbolism {Short Poem}


Niqabic Symbolism

Niqabic symbolism of piety is a critique on society. 

A critique on those who claim to encourage freedom in lands yet propagate oppression with their own hands.

A critique on those who find liberty in nudity but hinder the ability to dress with dignity.  

A critique on those claim to be free spirits individually yet act as a barrier for someone else’s spiritual creativity. 

A critique on those who claim to fear for reasons of security the removable niqab, yet walk around covering their own face with sunglasses in summer and in winter wear heavy covering garb.


Definition of my Niqab:
A critical critique criticising the hypocritical critics crittering along on the crust of the earth cluttering creativity created by their own Creator.

Fundraising

Who despises oppression?
"Sydney Responds" Fundraising Appeal


Assalaamu alaikom brothers and sisters

We would like to invite you to a noble night at IDO's "Sydney Responds" 2013 fundraising appeal. Sydney's Muslims have already responded with their generosity in previous IDO events such as "Sydney4Somalia" & "Sydney4Syria".

At this event we would like to provide you with an update on how your assistance has helped the recipients of your aid throughout the world, both in Emergency Aid and Sustainable Development Projects.

We also want you to share in this opportunity to support IDO in implementing its Humanitarian Aid and Development Projects as follows:
·  Syria: Medical Centre including 2 surgery rooms and pharmacy that will insha'Allah save lives in the region of Aleppo, as well as provide much needed Education, Counseling and Welfare services to Orphans in those devastated communities in Syria
·  Africa: Provide the finishing touches to our " Mustapha Al Majzoub Safe Village" project in Somalia and continue our work in other parts of Africa
·  Burma/Bangladesh: Provide Emergency Relief to the Burmese Rohinga and other regions experiencing natural and man-made devastation.
·  Fiji: Disaster Recovery Relief and development after Cyclones.
·  Australia: ACWA’s My Home Respite Centre, the only Muslim Run Centre for the intellectually Disabled & IDO’s Aboriginal Out Reach Program.
You can respond to our humanitarian initiatives by requesting a table/ tickets for the night and for businesses who would like to sponsor the dinner, sponsorship packages are available. Contact Ahmed on 0406 555 556 to make arrangements or email us on ahmed.h@i-do.org.au

Wassalaamu alaikom
Asalamalaikum. I found this email in my inbox, I have never heard of this organisation but it seems like a nice event for sisters living in Sydney. This is what I don't like about living away from Sydney, you miss out on a lot. Alhamdulilah for everything. May Allah reward everyone making a difference to the Ummah. Ameen.
