Welcome

An introduction to Islam – “Islam 101” – Dr Mustafa Farouk, QSM, President of the Federation of Islamic Associations New Zealand

In introducing Dr Mustafa Farouk, Don Wilson said that he had known him for a number of years. He is President of the Islamic Association of New Zealand. Mustafa leads a very busy life wi

th his work as a Senior Scientist at Ag Research in the area of Meat Science where he ensures that Halal requirements in New Zealand are met. Originally from Nigeria he has been in New Zealand for 21 years. Mustafa speaks at International Conferences and works with other religions. He was happy to answer any questions about Islam – no matter how curly – he says he’s heard them all before.

Dr Farouk commenced his address saying that he would speak about – What is Islam, Who is a Muslim, When did Islam start and What do Muslims believe.

What is Islam – Islam means Peace; but complete submission to the Will of God
Who is a Muslim – anybody or anything – human or non-human according to the way of God. One in five people in the world is a Muslim. At the New Zealand last census 3,000 Pakeha were Muslim with Maori totalling 1,500
When did Islam start – 1400 years ago. Muslims believe that Islam was derived from Adam
What do Muslims believe – the Oneness of God and that God is not created or begotten. God is all knowing, hearing and seeing. Accountability to God. Muslims believe in all the prophets who have received a message from God through the angels. The Koran mentions Jesus many times as well as other prophets in the Christian Faith.

Dr Farouk covered:

The primary action of prayer
Political division and how that occurred
The status of women and marriage
The reason for women covering their attractiveness
How Muslims relate to other beliefs

Rotary Youth Programme of Enrichment (RYPEN) - thanks

The following email has been received by Ian Grant (Youth/New Generation Director) from Claire Hamilton. Rotary Cambridge sponsored her to attend Waikato RYPEN at Lakewood Lodge Rangiriri.

I would like to thank you for driving me to Lakewood Lodge for me to take part in the Rypen trip.

I had an amazing weekend and I am grateful for the ride and you taking the time out of your weekend to drive me.

Words are not enough to express the excitement that my visit to Lakewood Lodge had. There is no doubt about the effort, hard work and dedication that had been put into this weekend, I can't thank you enough for this opportunity for me to take part in the Rypen trip.

I loved meeting new people I have made some amazing friends, and participating in the many activities.

Thank you again,

Claire Grantham,
