In a world of great stress, time pressures, Islamophobia, and confusion
within our communities, it can be difficult to stay grounded and live the
life of a true Muslim. We're told, many times, that Islam is a path of
moderation - "a middle way" that leads to success in both this life and the
next.
But how does one juggle the ever-increasing demands of modern life while
still maintaining a strong Islamic identity and a deep relationship with
Allah?
If you're looking for the answers, and feel like you need to be spiritually
revived, get ready for the MSA of the Cape's latest Reviving the Islamic
Spirit (RIS) convention, coming to Cape Town this May.
The 2011 edition, under the theme "Striking the Balance," will cover topics
dealing with various aspects of Muslim life - such as balance and
moderation; cultivating taqwa; living by the sunnah; interfaith relations;
and marriage. Speakers include a mix of young and old, with scholars like
Mufti Ismail Menk, Shaykh Navaid Aziz, Shaykh Bilal Ismail, and Dr Fadel
Soliman, among others.
Registration opens 7th March, and those registering before 15th April- will
be entitled to a 25% discount on the registration fee of R400. The cost
includes meals, snacks and a conference pack
Our online registration system will be active on our new website from the 14
March 2011. In addition to the online registration procedure, those wishing
to complete a registration form, can download the form from the new MSA
website. The registration form can also be requested by sending an email to

The new MSA of the Cape website will be launched on the 14 March 2011
inshaAllah and we hope to use this website to interact with all our loyal
members and supporters to encourage the spread of our great way of life,
Islam.
New features to the website will include content of our weekly radio show,
Living the Deen Broadcasted on the Voice of the Cape. You will have the
opportunity to contribute to the show either through twitter and facebook
which are both embedded to our site.
In addition, we are very excited announce our new online registration
procedure which will enable us to effectively manage the registration
procedure of all our major events including the upcoming *Reviving the
Islamic Spirit Convention 2011.*
The site will also include reviews and pictures of our previous events
including, Khaqeebatul Ramadaan food parcel distribution project and the
Islam Expo SA (IESA) held at the CTICC in June 2009.
Users of the site will also have the opportunity to register their names on
our volunteer database to assist in the many projects the MSA of the Cape,
and associate organisations, undertake during the year to relieve the plight
of the many less fortunate within our community.
So please log on to our website from the 14 March 2011 to obtain more
information on our upcoming events and opportunities to effect positive
change in our community.

*Don't be Duped!*
* *
If we told you someone was going to climb through your bedroom window at
1:17am, grab your wallet, your watch and your cell phone, would you get your
guard up?
You probably wouldn't think I was serious, say 'yeah right,' and snuggle
into your warm comfortable bed for a good night's sleep.
What if it did happen? What if you woke up and found that your wallet, your
watch and your cell were gone?
If it did happen, you'd be duped. That's what.
Duped: conned, deceived, jerked around, fooled, played, tricked.
While these other words kind of give an idea of duped, they miss one
important thing: to be duped is to see it coming, yet get hit.
If I told you I got news that someone was after you, that someone wanted to
destroy you, that someone wanted to drag you into the depths of hell and was
going to use all the resources available to do it, would you believe me?
What if Allah told you, would you believe Him?
What if that someone himself said it, would you believe it?
What if this person who was eager to destroy you and your family, said: "I
will make things on earth seem attractive to them (mankind) and lead all of
them to error, except those of Your servants whom You have singled out for
Yourself."
Will you be prepared for this attack.
*Please read the attached document to find out about this enemy and how we
can prepare ourselves against his attacks ***
Tune into Living the Deen presented by the MSA of the Cape on the Voice of
the Cape, every Tuesday after Maghrieb on 100.4fm in the Cape Metropole and

*Allah and His messenger, and spend of that whereof He hath made you
trustees; and such of you as believe and spend (aright), theirs will be a
great reward *
