IMWA held 2nd EC meeting:

The Executive Committee members of IMWA meet during first Friday of every month. This time Br. Mohammed Manshauddin hosted the EC meeting at his Salmiya apartment on Friday, 6th July 2007. The meeting commenced with the recitation of the verses from Holy Qur’an at 4.15 pm. The Committee reviewed and adopted the minutes of previous meeting.

Islamic Cell convener, Br. Nooruddin Yusuf presented new proposals that may be adopted for this tenure. Conducting Da’wa programs, Tajweed classes, Islamic lectures are some of highlights of the proposal.

Mass media Cell also has come up with attractive proposals for the present term, which the EC confirmed. Journalism workshop for selected IMWA members, periodical newsletter, magazine during next AGM, community info on IMWA website and so on were included in the proposal.

IMWA has been conducting annual outdoor programs for school children in Kuwait during summer vacations. Since the weather in this summer is not ideal for outdoor activities, it was decided that the outdoor activities will be conducted after the summer vacation. Br. Salim Desai, along with the members of Education Cell, is planning to conduct some interesting outdoor activities for the children. Details will be published in our website shortly.
 

Meeting of Islamic Cell:

Members of Islamic Cell also met separately in the same evening to discuss the next Late Abdullah Hamza Dalvi Ramadhan Competitions for the children of Indian Schools in Kuwait. The Cell discussed as to explore the best method of conducting competitions which will be more useful and result oriented for the students. In-sha-Allah, further details and dates of the events will soon be posted on the IMWA’s website www.imwakuwait.org

Message from the Ex President:

I am delighted to learn that the present Executive Committee of IMWA has come up with ‘New Voice of IMWA’ as a web based fortnightly. This shows the great enthusiasm and commitment of the new members to propagate and promote the basic aims of IMWA to educate and enlighten the community on various topics in our day to day life, and of course giving importance to spread the message of Islam. It is only the love of our beloved Prophet (may peace be upon him) and Islamic values that is a binding factor for us to work together for the betterment of total humanity.

Today if we are left behind it is only because of our own short comings. We need to increase our mass communication for a better understanding. Our voice needs to be heard to remove all the misunderstandings towards Islam. We need to work hard for its propagation, in the right direction following the path of Qur'an and Sunnah.

Islam believes and promotes social and economic justice, seeking knowledge and to propagate education. The New voice of IMWA is a step taken in this direction by the present team of IMWA.

I congratulate the Mass Media Cell and all the members of the Executive Committee and I have sanguine hope that the present EC will work hard with sincerity, dedication and enthusiasm for consistently publishing IMWA's e-zine. I earnestly request all our members to contribute articles to appear on these pages in the days to come.

Qur’anic Wisdom
Thy Lord hath decreed that ye worship none but Him, and that ye be kind to parents. Whether one or both of them attain old age in thy life, say not to them a word of contempt, nor repel them, but address them in terms of honour. And, out of kindness, lower to them the wing of humility, and say: "My Lord! bestow on them thy Mercy even as they cherished me in childhood." Your Lord knoweth best what is in your hearts: If ye do deeds of righteousness, verily He is Most Forgiving to those who turn to Him again and again (in true penitence).
- Qur’an 17: 23 – 25

Prophetic Wisdom
Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: Six are the rights of a Muslim over another Muslim. It was said to him: Allah's Messenger, what are these? Thereupon he said: When you meet him, offer him greetings (Salam); when he invites you to a feast accept it. when he seeks your council give him, and when he sneezes and says: "All praise is due to Allah," you say: "Yarhamuk Allah" (may Allah show mercy to you); and when he falls ill visit him; and when he dies follow his bier.
- Sahih Muslim: Book 026, Hadith # 5379
