Jumuah Mubarak
20 Raby` al-Thaany 1432
All praise and glory is to Allah (SWT) the Creator, Sustainer and Lord
of everything that exists. We praise Him, we seek His assistance, we
beseech His forgiveness. Whosoever Allah guides, there is none who can
misguide, and whosoever Allah leaves to stray there is none who can
guide thereafter. Salutations upon our b eloved Messenger, Muhammed
(SAW) his family, companions, those who followed them and all who
follow them in righteousness till the Last Day.

having another... RIS Confernece...
Reviving the Islamic Spirit Convention
"Striking the Balance"
6-8 May 2011
Islamia College Hall
Cape Town
Registration Now Open!!!
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.

RIS Topic synopsis
How did the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) manage his time, and what lessons
can we take from his example? At this year's Reviving the Islamic
Spirit (RIS) conference you will find out…
Time is one of our most precious resources, yet many of us fail to
make the best use of it. Some of us spend countless hours on amusement
or sleep, while others are swamped with responsibilities and "to-do"
lists that never seem to end. But regardless of where you stand,
there's no doubt that managing time effectively can be a great
struggle. And, because time is precious, both in worldly and spiritual
ventures, it's essential that we manage it properly so that we can be
successful, insha-Allah.
RIS 2011, which goes under the theme "Striking the Balance", covers
the issue of time management from an Islamic perspective –
highlighting the Prophetic model of time management, as well as modern
examples of effective time management techniques that adhere to the
sunnah.
With the conference just 6 weeks away, signing up in a timely fashion
can score you immediate benefit. If you register and pay before 15th
April 2011, you'll receive a 25% discount on the registration price.
