World Habitat Day
2010
4th October 2010
On the UN World Habitat Day on 4 October 2010, Muslim Aid has urged govern-
ments to honour their collective commitment to provide their people adequate shelter as part of creating more equal and just societies. Muslim Aid also reiter-
ated its firm resolve to help communities that have lost their homes due to natu-ral and man-made disasters through its relief and development projects by pro-
viding temporary shelter, permanent housing and access to clean water. A Spokesperson for Muslim Aid said: “This task of providing shelter and housing
requires both national and international efforts and practical solutions, especially for people affected by crisis and natural disasters. On this day we remind the in-
ternational community that 640 million children in developing countries still live without adequate shelter and around 55 million people last year were affected by
extreme weather conditions across the world. Simple measures such as providing transitional shelter or good drainage systems can save peoples lives.”
Muslim Aid is currently implementing shelter and construction programmes in many countries across the world in order to make people‟s habitat safer and
comfortable. It has also completed flood mitigation projects in Indonesia to im-
prove protection against future flooding. These projects have allowed communi-ties to flourish and children to build a life filled with security and peace.

Devastating floods in Pakistan have caused the displacement of at least 20
million people. They are stranded without food, water and little or no shelter. Efforts have to be stepped up to provide them with food and water and every
little bit helps. Sonia Klein, former Parliamentary candidate for Ilford North, in cooperation
with Pakistan International Airlines, last month organised for the East London community to contribute to flood relief in Pakistan. PIA has been running free
airlifts to deliver boxes of food, water and other basic necessities. Sonia heard of what PIA was trying to do, and organised several drop off centres all
over East London where people could bring boxes or bags of goods to be brought to Heathrow Airport and onto PIA‟s planes.
The response was overwhelming! Individuals, groups of neighbours, and charities started bringing hundreds of bags and boxes, some from as far away
as Cambridge. All of the donations were collected from the drop centres and brought to Sonia‟s home in Romford stacked to the ceiling, taped up, labelled,
and stuffed into vans. Within no time we were warning PIA of the impending
drop off of over two thousand kilos of goods. Anything that can be done to raise the profile of the disaster will only help to
bring more aid to the people affected by the flood. Thank you to everyone
who volunteered their time, energy and supplies to the relief efforts.

British Academy of Qur'anic Studies (BAQS) presents a one-day intensive course on:
Bi-Monthly Quran Seminars
Social Harmony:
Tafsir Surah al-Hujurat
Surah al-Hujurat is amongst the last revelations to the Prophet [saw]. The overall theme of the surah is about presenting a Muslim Social System;
which contains a number of instructions about the correct adab [behaviour] to enhance and protect the community.
The surah mentions:
The Muslims behaviour towards Allah [swt]
The Muslims behaviour towards the Messenger [saw]
The Muslims behaviour towards one another
The Muslims behaviour in community/society
Is this course for me?
Are you a Muslim who wants to become closer to Allah through understanding His religion?
Are you someone who wants to understand the messages in the Qur’an?
Are you in a position of leadership, leading a group or an organisation?
Are you leading an Islamic Society? Or part of a committee leading the Isoc?
Are you a teacher and are teaching Islamic studies or Qur’an?
Are you teaching about morals and manners in Islam?
Are you new to Islam? and want to understand how the Prophet[s] lived and how you can live by his example through some simple Quranic steps?
Are you involved in community work and are regularly dealing with people?Are you someone who is a member of an organisation and are in a
position whereby teamwork or collaboration with others is essential?
Attending this course will enable you to...
Understand the Quranic perspective of the social system;
The prophetic nature of correct adab (behaviour) to enhance and protect a community, group or an organisation;
A Muslim’s behaviour towards Allah, the Prophet, one another and as members of a community.
Learn about respect, politeness, communication, making peace, avoiding abuse - amongst other traits in order to live and work in a successful
community, group or organisation
This Surah in particular focuses on the manners to be observed by the muslim of the community – towards their leader and amongst themselves.
This course, we will analyse and elaborate how we as Muslims should conduct ourselves, what an ideal Islamic society should consist of and what
are the goals of an Islamic Social System in the light of classical and contemporary Tafasir [exegesis].
