Bulletin on Islam and Muslims, 2024

Assalāmu ‘alaykum wrb, warm greetings and kia ora! Welcome to our first issue of the Bulletin on ... more Assalāmu ‘alaykum wrb, warm greetings and kia ora! Welcome to our first issue of the Bulletin on Islam and Muslims brought to you by Ulul Albāb Islamic Institute New Zealand. In my focus article “the Dawn of Ulul Albab Islamic Institute New Zealand” I am sharing the establishment, vision and mission of Ulul Albāb Islamic Institute New Zealand with the readers.
Shaykh Hafiz Tajammul has briefly introduced our after school online Islamic school (madrasah) known as Ulul Albāb Fardul-‘Ayn Madrasah. Fardul-‘Ayn denotes matters essential for individual Muslims. The madrasah focuses on essential subjects that can inculcate and strengthen a sense of Islamic identity in Muslim students who do not have the opportunity to study Islamic studies formally.
Shaykhah Aminah Sadika talked about the lifelong learning program of UAIINZ which targets gents and ladies of all walks of life to relearn Islamic teachings and revive their spirituality through specially tailored subjects matching their levels.
Assoc. Prof. Dr Nadzrah Ahmad penned the beautiful characteristics and description of Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) as depicted by a woman-companion (sahābiyah) Umm Maʿbad ‘Atikah bint Khālid al-Khuza‘iyyah (RA). The Prophet (ﷺ) along with his companions stopped at her place when he was migrating to Madinah. That is when she first saw him (ﷺ) and experienced the miracles that emanated from him.
In my article “Why Palestine, Baytul-Muqaddas (Jerusalem) and Masjid Al-Aqsā are Important for Muslims,” I highlighted the biased narratives when it comes to the struggle of Palestinians for freedom. I also presented eight significant points in the light of Qur’an and Sunnah to remind the new generation of the importance of Palestine, Jerusalem and Masjid al-Aqsā for us Muslims. The preservation of Palestine, Jerusalem and al-Aqsā is not based on materialistic, or colonialistic or racist or nationalistic motives, but purely for spiritual and moral objectives.
Shaykh Hafiz Tajammul in his article “Understanding the True Essence of Worship (‘Ibādah)” cleared the misconceptions about worship (‘Ibādah). Almighty Allah created humans solely for His worship, but the essence of worship is not limited to rituals such as praying, and dhikr (remembrance of Allah), but it includes ethics, mutual cooperation, love and care for fellow humans, animals and the environment.
In the last article, “Importance of Learning Qur’an for the Muslimāt (Muslim Women)” Shaykhah Aminah Sadika explains the importance of learning Qur’an for the Muslimāt. The Qur'an answers and solves the contemporary challenges faced by women. Dignity, real-freedom, identity, self-esteem, and mental wellbeing all can be secured for women who connect themselves to the Qur’an. After the articles, we presented the reports of events and programs UAIINZ accomplished in 2023, followed by the works accomplished, works in progress, presentations, research and publications of UAIINZ academics.
