In conversation with Imran Garda
ILM-SA in conjunction with Evolve Media & Communications invites you to the launch of The Thunder that Roars, the debut novel of well-known Al Jazeera journalist and news anchor, Imran Garda.
Event: In Conversation with Imran Garda
Date: Monday, 23 June 2014
Time: 6.30pm
Venue: Ninos, Moses Mabhida Stadium
RSVP: via email (admin@ilmsa.co.za) or SMS/Whatsapp (0791407422)
Copies of the book will be available for sale at R200 each; when RSVP-ing please indicate how many copies you require - Imran will happily sign them :)
More information:
Imran Garda, 31, joined Al Jazeera in 2006 and anchored the news and Inside Story from Doha, Kuala Lumpur and Washington D.C. Most recently, he hosted the award-winning, Emmy-nominated show The Stream.
The main character of his novel is New York-based journalist Yusuf Carrim who returns to South Africa when he finds out that Sam, a family friend has gone missing.
The Thunder that Roars has been published by Random Struik which describes the novel as ‘fast-paced’ and ‘cosmopolitan’: “From the suburbs of Johannesburg to the streets of Bulawayo, from Dubai airport to an immigrant facility on the Mediterranean island of Lampedusa, Yusuf ’s quest to find Sam turns into an inward journey of his own.”
Garda says that although the first draft for the book took him six months to complete, the story had been ‘bubbling inside him for much longer.’
He said it wasn’t difficult to make the transition from journalism to fiction. “Both involve storytelling and conveying information,” he explained. “I just get to explore stories and the human condition with more creativity in this regard.”
He added that being a published author was more special than any other professional achievement. “Now I’d love to do another book.”

Get the most out of Ramadaan
As salaamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakaatuh,
Whether we like it or not, many of us women take preparing for the iftaar component of Ramadaan very seriously, stocking our freezers up months in advance.
Feeding one's family can be act of worship, but we also need to remember that Ramadaan presents a valuable opportunity to build our relationships with our Creator. But this also requires some degree of preparation, and knowledge.
With the aim of assisting you in this regard, and keeping in mind our busy schedules ahead of Ramadaan, ILM for Women invites you to a short but effective programme on how to get the most out of Ramadaan, presented by Hafez Fuzayl Soofie.
Date: Tuesday, June 24th 2014 (Yes, we've left it till the last week so you can start Ramadaan with the outcomes of the programme fresh in your minds, hearts and souls)
Time: 9am to 12pm
Venue: Randerees Braai Ranch, 49 Collingham Road, Sherwood
Cost: R130 including brunch
Tickets are now available at ILM-SA's offices, middle office, parking C (basement), NMJ Islamic Centre, opening times:
Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays - 9am to 1pm, 2.30pm to 4.30pm
Tuesdays: 9am to 1pm
Fridays: 9am to 11am
Saturdays: 11am to 1pm
During their participation in a family camp organised by the Islamic Forum, two women from ILM-SA were deeply inspired by Hafez Fuzayl's lectures on spirituality and decided he'd be an appropriate choice for a Ramadaan preparatory workshop. He's relevant, dynamic, profound and very approachable and his advice is practical and easy to implement. Don't miss what promises to be a programme which will give you that much needed boost ahead of this precious month - we have just 100 tickets available.
Contact ILM-SA at 031 207 6155 or via Whatsapp at 079 140 7422 for more information.
Jazakallah

Why is Ramadaan the best time to start HERBALIFE??? Fasting is a natural means of detoxing and teaching your body discipline... Remember being over weight or unfit out of negligence is considered abuse of an amaanat that Almighty has bestowed us with...feeding it food that is harmful to it(EXCESSIVE pies,deep fried samoosas etc) is a means of damaging it and taking it for granted.. Remember every action is judged on its intention...if your intention is to take care and nourish your body with good it automatically is considered an act of ibaada ....so don't waste time or the perfect opportunity to start your journey to good health and over all well being\=D/. Assit ur family in getting thru Ramadaan with solid focus and great energy levels \=D/.

Laylatul Bara'ah
Forgiveness on Laylatul Bara’ah
The night of Bara'ah (emancipation), the 15th night of Sha'baan is indeed a significant and blessed night. On this night, Allah Ta'ala showers His servants with special and divine mercy. It is recorded in the Ahadith that all Muslims are forgiven on this night besides the following: .
1. Idolaters.
2. Those who harbour enmity against others.
3. Those who consume alcohol. 4. Those who disobey their parents. 5. Those who commit murder. 6. Those who sever family ties. 7. Those who wear their trousers, kurtas, lungis, etc. below their ankles We should, at this time, take stock of ourselves. Are we of those that will be deprived of Allah’s mercy on this night due to our evil actions? If we find ourselves guilty of the above evil actions then we need to rectify ourselves.
RECOMMENDED ACTIONS FOR THE NIGHT OF BARA'AH:
Salaah– Salaah is the most preferred form of Ibadah for this night. It should be noted that there is no particular number of Rakaats to be read on this night.
Tilaawat– The recitation of the Holy Quran is very beneficial on this night.
Zikr– Engage in the remembrance of Allah Ta'ala with the tongue and heart.
Dua– The greatest benefit one can draw from the blessings of this night is through Dua and supplication.
The recommended Dua for this night is:
أَعُوْذُ بِعَفْوِكَ مِنْ عِقَابِكَ وَأَعُوْذُ بِرِضَاكَ مِنْ سَخَطِكَ وَأَعُوْذُ بِكَ مِنْكَ لَاأُحْصِيْ ثَنَاءً عَلَيْكَ أَنْتَ كَمَا أَثْنَيْتَ عَلَى نَفْسِكَ
(O' Allah) I take refuge in your forgiveness from your punishment, and I take refuge in your pleasure from your anger and I take refuge in you from you. I cannot praise you as you ought to be praised. You are as you have praised yourself. (Shuabul Imaan)!
Plz make me مَعَاف and remember me in ur duas!

In Conversation with Imran Garda ....
As salaamu alaikum
ILM-SA in conjunction with Evolve Media &
Communications invites you to the launch of The Thunder that Roars, the debut
novel of well-known Al Jazeera journalist and news anchor, Imran Garda.
Event: In
Conversation with Imran Garda
Date: Monday, 23
June 2014
Time: 6.30pm
Venue: Ninos,
Moses Mabhida Stadium
RSVP: via email (admin@ilmsa.co.za) or SMS/Whatsapp (0791407422)
Copies of the book will be available for sale at R200
each; when RSVP-ing please indicate how many copies you require - Imran will happily
sign them :)
More information:
Imran Garda, 31, joined Al Jazeera in 2006 and anchored
the news and Inside Story from Doha, Kuala Lumpur and Washington D.C. Most recently, he hosted the award-winning,
Emmy-nominated show The Stream.
The main character of his novel is New York-based
journalist Yusuf Carrim who returns to South Africa when he finds out that Sam,
a family friend has gone missing.
The Thunder that Roars has been published by Random
Struik which describes the novel as ‘fast-paced’ and ‘cosmopolitan’: “From the suburbs of Johannesburg to the
streets of Bulawayo, from Dubai airport to an immigrant facility on the
Mediterranean island of Lampedusa, Yusuf ’s quest to find Sam turns into an
inward journey of his own.”
Garda says that although the first draft for the book
took him six months to complete, the story had been ‘bubbling inside him for
much longer.’
He said it wasn’t difficult to make the transition from
journalism to fiction. “Both involve
storytelling and conveying information,” he explained. “I just get to explore stories and the human
condition with more creativity in this regard.”
He added that being a published author was more special
than any other professional achievement.
“Now I’d love to do another book.”
“I hope readers will find the story challenging,” he
said. “It’s a book of journeys. Yusuf’s search for Sam. Yusuf’s inner journey. “And also, I hope, a journey the reader
takes…where you might laugh, get angry (at me), get sad…and just ponder over a
sense of belonging in this complex world.”

Getting the most out of Ramadaan
As salaamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakaatuh,
Whether we like it or not, many of us women take preparing for the iftaar component of Ramadaan very seriously, stocking our freezers up months in advance.
Feeding one's family can be act of worship, but we also need to remember that Ramadaan presents a valuable opportunity to build our relationships with our Creator. But this also requires some degree of preparation, and knowledge.
With the aim of assisting you in this regard, and keeping in mind our busy schedules ahead of Ramadaan, ILM for Women invites you to a short but effective programme on how to get the most out of Ramadaan, presented by Hafez Fuzayl Soofie.
Date: Tuesday, June 24th 2014 (Yes, we've left it till the last week so you can start Ramadaan with the outcomes of the programme fresh in your minds, hearts and souls)
Time: 9am to 12pm
Venue: Randerees Braai Ranch, 49 Collingham Road, Sherwood
Cost: R130 including brunch

During their participation in a family camp organised by the Islamic Forum, two women from ILM-SA were deeply inspired by Hafez Fuzayl's lectures on spirituality and decided he'd be an appropriate choice for a Ramadaan preparatory workshop. He's relevant, dynamic, profound and very approachable and his advice is practical and easy to implement. Don't miss what promises to be a programme which will give you that much needed boost ahead of this precious month - we have just 100 tickets available.
