I received this from FeeqalBee earlier today.

‘Fee Qalbee’ – a motivational blog on tahfeedhul Qur’aan for sisters – brings to you a unique competition entitled:’STRIVING TO INSPIRE.’

You’re invited to submit your inspirational writings in the form of poetry or prose. The theme being, to write on what personally inspires / inspired you to memorise Al Qur’aan. Your writings can include references to Qur’aanic verses, Prophetic traditions, poems, people, places, circumstances, etc. You may only submit one piece of writing, with the maximum word-limit being: 1000 words. The competition is open to all sisters around the world. The deadline date is 30th April 2010. Please include your postal address & a brief, 3-line bio on yourself. All entries will be posted onto the blog, after which, readers will vote for the most inspirational writing.

The writer of the most inspirational entry will win a HIJAAB BOUQUET & ‘Fee Qalbee’ will post an interview with the winning sister, on our blog:)

The Alkauthar Institute wishes to support the following initiative by Mercy Mission South Africa.
"Righteousness is not turning your faces towards the east or the west. Righteous are those who believe in GOD, the Last Day, the angels, the scripture, and the prophets; and they give the money, cheerfully, to the relatives, the orphans, the needy, the traveling alien, the beggars, and to free the slaves; and they observe the Contact Prayers (Salat) and give the obligatory charity (Zakat); and they keep their word whenever they make a promise; and they steadfastly persevere in the face of persecution, hardship, and war. These are the truthful; these are the righteous." [2:177]

A Fresh New Initiative has been launched by Mercy Mission South Africa.  It seeks to empower the muslim community, to assist those less fortunate than themselves, by providing selected teams with R4000, to raise additional funds for a worthy cause.  The cause should preferably be a ‘need in your own community’.
Mercy Mission will provide full support to those wanting to undertake such a project in their locality.

This initiative has been run by Mercy Mission Canada and has been a tremendous success Alhamdulillah.
