Assalamualaikum. Welcome to term 4. Alhumdulillah we have started term 4 well. Our year 12s’ have completed their studies with us. Insha’Allah TEE examination will start from the 2nd of November. We pray to Allah (SWT) to make it easy for them.

Insha’Allah, year 7 boys from Thornlie and Dianella campus will join us for their induction program in week 4. Our senior teachers will conduct classes for them with more insight into high school programs. We organised orientation day for them to be able to familiarise themselves with Kewdale campus.

We also had year 10 parents’ information night where heads of the learning areas informed them about the subject selection for year 11.

This term, main aims of the school are to make more improvements and follow up on whole school planning for curriculum development, values, literacy and ICT integration. More time and planning will be devoted to NAPLAN preparation. More strategies and effort will be directed towards behaviour development and support to the students and teachers. We are

also planning to organise year ending award presentation evening.

I would like to request everyone to support us with our uniform, mobile phone and use of electronic devices policies.

Insha’Allah with united effort of teachers, staff, students and parents we can improve upon many areas.

I would again thank you all for your continuous support and help towards the betterment of school. May Allah (SWT) reward you for your hard work.Jazakallah.

There are three forms of Hajj: Tamattu’-Ifraad-QiranTamattu’: A pilgrim wears Ihram for Umrah only during the months of Hajj, which means that when he reaches Mecca, he makes Tawafand Sa’i for Umrah. He then shaves or clips his hair. On the day of Tarwiya, which is theeighth of Dhul-Hijjah, he puts on his Ihramfor Hajj only and carries out all of its require-ments.Ifraad: A pilgrim wears Ihram for Hajj only.When he reaches Mecca, he performs Tawaf for his arrival and Sa’i for Hajj. He doesn’tshave or clip his hair, as he doesn’t disengage from Ihram. Instead, he remains in Ihram tillafter he stones Jamrah Al-Aqaba on the Eid day.It is permissible for him to postpone his Sa’i forHajj until after his Tawaf for Hajj.Qiran: A pilgrim wears Ihram for both Umrahand Hajj or he wears Ihram first for Umrah,and then makes intentions for Hajj beforehis Tawaf for Hajj. The obligations on one performing Ifraad are the same as those on one performing Qiran, except that the latter mustslaughter whereas the former is not obli-gated to do so. The best of the three forms is Tamattu’. It is the form that the prophet (may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) encouraged his followers to perform. Even if a pilgrim makes intentions to perform Qiran or Ifraad he is allowed to change his intentionsto Tamattu’; he can do this even after he hasperformed Tawaf and Sa’i.When the Prophet (may the peace and bless-ings of Allah be upon him) performed Tawafand Sa’i during the year of the Farewell Hajjwith his companions, he ordered all those who hadn’t brought sacrificial animals to change their intentions for Hajj to intentions for Um-rah, cut their hair, and disengage from Ihram till Hajj. He said, “If I hadn’t brought the sac-rificial animal, I’d have done what I’ve orderedyou to do.”

The UmrahIf a pilgrim wishes to be ritually pure for Um-rah, he should shed his clothing and bathe as he would after sexual defilement, if convenient. He should perfume his head and beard with the best oil he can find. There is no harm in what remains of it after Ihram. Bathing for Ihram is Sunnah for both men and women, including menstruating women and those experiencing postnatal bleeding. After bathing and preparing himself, a. pilgrim, other than those menstruating or experiencing postnatal bleeding, prays the obligatory prayer,

if it is time. Otherwise, he makes his intention by praying the two Sunnah Rak’ahs, which are made each time Wudu is performed. When he finishes his prayer he should say: “Here I am for Umrah, here I am, Oh Allah, here I am. Here I am. You have no partner. Here I am. Surely all praise, grace and domin-ion is Yours, and You have no partner” (known as the talbiyah). A man raises his voice when saying this and a woman says it so that only one beside her may hear her. One in Ihram should say the talbiyah as often as possible, especially when times and places change. For example: when descending or ascending during travel or when day or night approach. He should also ask Allah for His pleasure, for Heaven and seek refuge in Allah’s mercy from Hellfire. One should say the talbiyah during Umrah, starting from the time he puts on his Ihram till he starts the Tawaf (around the Ka’bah). Dur-ing Hajj he should say it starting from the time he puts on his Ihram till he starts to stone the Jamrah Al-Aqabah on the day of ‘Eid. When a pilgrim enters the Holy Mosque he puts forth his right foot first and says: “In the name of Allah, and may the peace and bless-ings be upon the Messenger of Allah. Oh Allah, forgive me my sins and open to me the doors of Your mercy. I seek refuge in Allah the Almighty and in His Noble Face and in His Eternal Dominion from the accursed Satan.” He approaches the Black Stone, touches it with his right hand and kisses it. If this isn’t pos-sible, he should face the Black Stone and point to it.It is best not to push and shove, causing harm and being harmed by other people. When touching the Stone (or pointing to it), a pilgrim should say the following: “In the name of Allah, Allah is the Greatest (Bismillah, Al-lahu Akbar). Oh, Allah, with faith in You, belief in Your Book, loyalty to You, compliance to the way of Your Prophet Muhammad (may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him).” A pilgrim must walk, keeping the Ka’bah on his left. When he reaches the Rukn Al-Yamani (the Yamani Corner) he should touch it (if possible), but not kiss it, and say: “Our Lord, grant us good in this life and good in the hereafter and save us from the punishment of the Hellfire. Oh Allah, I beg of you for forgiveness and health in this life and in the Hereafter.” Each time he passes the Black Stone he should say: “Allah is the Greatest (Allahu Akbar).” During the remainder of his Tawaf he may say what he pleases of supplications, remem-brance of Allah, and recitation of Quran. This is because Tawaf, Sa’i, and the Stoning of the Jamrah have all been ordained for the purpose of remembering Allah. During this Tawaf it is necessary for a man to do two things:

1. Al-Idhtebaa’: This is done from the begin-ning of Tawaf until the end. Al-Idhtebaa’ means placing the middle of one’s upper gar-ment (rida’) under the right arm and tossing the ends of it over the left shoulder. When he is finished performing Tawaf, he may return his upper garment (rida’) to its original state because the time for Idhtebaa’ is only during Tawaf. 2. Ar-Raml during the first three circuits: Ar-Raml means speeding up one’s pace with small steps. A pilgrim should walk at a normal pace during his last four circuits. When he completes seven circuits of Tawaf, he approaches Maqam Ibrahim and recites: “And take ye the station of Abraham as a place of Prayer” Chapter 2, Verse 125 [2:125]. He prays two short raka’ahs, as close as conve-niently possible, behind Maqam Ibrahim. Dur-ing the first rakaat he recites Surah Al-Kafirun [Chapter 109] and during the second one Surah Al-Ikhlas [Chapter 112]. When he completes the two raka’ahs he should return to the Black Stone and touch it, if convenient. He goes out to the place of Sa’i (the mas’aa) and when he nears As-Safaa he recites: “Verily As-Safaa and Al-Marwah are among the holy rites of Allah” [2:158]. He ascends As-Safaa until he is able to see the Ka’bah. Facing the Ka’bah and raising his hands, he praises Allah and makes any supplica-tions he chooses. The Prophet (may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) prayed thus: “There is no Deity but Allah alone,” three times, supplicating in between each time. He descends As-Safaa and heads for Al-Mar-wah at a normal pace until he reaches the green marker. He should then jog fast until the next green marker. He then continues toward Al-Marwah at a normal pace. When he reaches it, he ascends it, faces the Qibla, raises his hands and repeats what he said on As-Sa-faa. He descends Al-Marwah heading towards As-Safaa, taking care to walk where walking is designated, and jog fast where jogging fast is designated. He continues this procedure until he completes seven laps. Going from As-Safaa to Al-Marwah is a one lap and returning is another lap. During his Sa’i he may recite what he wills of supplications, recitation of Qur’an, and remem-brance of Allah. In completion of Sa’i he shaves his head. A woman should clip her hair the length of a fingertip.Shaving is preferable, except when Hajj is near and there isn’t sufficient time for the hair to grow back. In this case it’s best to clip the hair (trim it all over the head) so that some hair will remain for shaving during Hajj.With that, the ‘Umrah is completed. At this point, a pilgrim is free to dress in other cloth-ing, wear perfume and engage in marital rela-tions, etc.

How to Perform the Rituals ofHAJJ and UMRAHForms of Pilgrimage


In the forenoon of the eighth day of Dhul-Hij-jah, a pilgrim purifies himself once again, by bathing as he did before ‘Umrah, in the place in which he is staying, if convenient. He puts on his Ihram and says: “Here I am for Hajj. Here I am, oh Allah, here I am. Here I am. You have no partner. Here I am. Surely all praise, grace and dominion is Yours, and You have no partners.” (This is the Talbiyah).

If he fears that something will prevent him from completing his Hajj he should make a condition when he makes his intentions, saying: “If I am prevented by any obstacle my place of ending is wherever I am held up.” If he has no such fear, he doesn’t make this condition.

A pilgrim goes to Mina and prays Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, Isha and Fajr there, shortening his four unit prayers so as to make them two units each, without combining them (i.e praying each four unit prayer as two units, in its prescribed time).

When the sun rises, he goes to Arafah and prays Dhuhr and Asr, combined at the time of Dhuhr, making each one two units. He should try to remain in the Namira Mosque until sunset if possible (if not, he should at least be within the boundaries of ‘Arafah). He should remember Allah and make as many supplica-tions as possible while facing the Qibla.

The Prophet (may the peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) prayed thus: “There is no Deity but Allah alone. He has no partner. All dominion and praise are His and He is powerful over all things.”

If he grows weary it is permissible for him to engage in beneficial conversation with his com-panions or reading what he can find of benefi-cial books, especially those concerning Allah’s grace and abundant gifts. This will strengthen his hope in Allah.

He should then return to his supplications and

be sure to spend the end of the day deep in sup-plication because the best of supplication is the supplication of the day of ‘Arafah.

At sunset he goes from ‘Arafah to Muzdalifah and prays there Maghrib, Isha, and Fajr. If he is tired or has little water, it is permissible for him to combine Maghrib and Isha. If he fears that he will not reach Muzdalifah until after midnight, he should pray before he reaches it for it is not permissible to delay prayer until af-ter midnight. He remains there, in Muzdalifah, making supplications and remembering Allah till just before sunrise.

If he is weak and cannot handle the crowd during the throwing of the stones (Ar-Ramy) in Mina the next morning, it is permissible for him to go to Mina at the end of the night to stone the Jamrah before the arrival of the crowd. Near sunrise, a pilgrim goes from Muzdalifah to Mina. Upon reaching it he does the following:A. He throws seven pebbles consecutively at the Jamrah Al-Aqaba, which is the closest monu-ment to Makkah, saying: “Allah is the Greatest (Allahu Akbar)” as he throws each pebble.

B. He slaughters the sacrificial animal, eats some of it, and gives some to the poor. Slaugh-ter is obligatory on the Mutamati and Qiran.

c. He shaves or clips his hair; shaving is prefer-able. A woman clips her hair the length of a fingertip. These three should be done in the above order if convenient, but there is no restriction if one precedes another.

With that, one is allowed to come out of Ihram. He can wear other clothing and do everything that was lawful before Ihram excluding engag-ing in marital relations.

He goes to Makkah to perform Tawaf Al-lfa-dha and Sa’i. It is Sunnah to put perfume on before going to Makkah.

With the completion of this Tawaf and Sa’i, a pilgrim is allowed to do everything that was lawful before Ihram, including engaging in marital relations.

After performing Tawaf and Sa’i, he returns to Mina to spend the nights of the eleventh and twelfth days there.

He stones the three Jamrah in the afternoon of both the eleventh and twelfth days. He starts with the first Jamrah, which is furthest from Makkah, then the middle one, and lastly Jamrah Al-Aqaba. Each one should be stoned with sev-en consecutive pebbles accompanied by Takbeer (saying: Allahu Akbar). He stops after the first and middle Jamrah to make supplications facing the Qibla. It is not permissible to stone before noon on these two days. It is best to walk to the Jamrah, but riding is permissible.

If he is in a hurry after stoning on the twelfth day, he leaves Mina before sunset. But if he wishes to prolong his stay, which is best, he

spends the night of the thirteenth in Mina and stones that afternoon in the same manner as on the twelfth day.

When he is ready to return to his country, he makes Tawaf Al-Wadaa (Farewell Tawaf), by performing seven circuits around the Ka’bah. Menstruating women and women experienc-ing postnatal discharge are not obligated to perform Tawaf Al-Wadaa.

Visiting Madinah1. A pilgrim can go to Madinah before or after Hajj. Prayer there is better than a thousand prayers elsewhere except in the Holy Mosquein Makkah (which is one hundred thousand prayers). 2. Upon reaching the mosque he prays two raka’ahs of salutation (tahiyyah al-masjid) orperforms any obligatory prayer that is due. 3. He goes to the grave of the Prophet (maythe peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)and he stands before it. He greets him saying, “May the peace, mercy, and blessings of Allah be upon you, O Prophet. May Allah grant you agood reward on behalf of your people.”He takes a step or two to his right to posi-tion himself before Abu Bakr and greets himsaying, “May the peace, mercy, and blessing ofAllah be upon you, O Abu Bakr, Caliph of the Messenger of Allah. May Allah be pleased with you and grant you a good reward on behalf ofMuhammad’s people.”Then he takes a step or two to his right toposition himself before ‘Umar and greets him saying, “May the peace, mercy and blessings of Allah be upon you, O ‘Umar, commander of the believers. May Allah be pleased with you and grant you a good reward on behalf of Muham-mad’s people.”4. In a state of purity, he goes to pray in QubaaMosque. 5. He goes to Al-Baqee’ to visit ‘Uthman’ sgrave (may Allah be pleased with him). He stands before it and greets him saying: “Maythe peace, mercy and blessing of Allah be upon you, O ‘Uthman Commander of the Believ-ers. May Allah be pleased with you and grantyou a good reward on behalf of Muhammad’speople.” He greets any other Muslims in Al-Baqee’.6. He goes to Uhud and visits the grave of Hamzah (may Allah be pleased with him) and the other martyrs there with him. He greets them and prays to Allah to grant them forgive-ness, mercy and happiness.By Shaikh Muhammad As-Salih Al-Uthaimeen, may Allah have mercy on him

BY YEAR 11 STUDENTS OF CAREER & ENTERPRISE

the Australian Islamic College have been participating ina whole school Numeracy Project in which they designedand are constructing a ‘3D chandelier’ . The inspiring orna-ments of the chandelier will be platonic solids and other3D objects, which the students had cut out from the netsprovided and folded and decorated these later on.

All of our High school students participated in the project,around 350 in the years 7-10 and it was funded partly bythe National Literacy and Numeracy week grant and partlyby the college itself. The college is currently educatingstudents from all parts of the world and they all came to-gether to learn about 3D solids. A large proportion of thesestudents are New Arrivals in this country and they lovedto be part of this project that promoted values of unity. Anexhibition of this mass participation will be a hanging chan-delier about 1.5 metres wide in our campus library.

Students tackled tough models like ‘dodecahedron’ , ‘icosa-hedron’ and ‘pentagrammic star prism’ and this gave theman insight into literacy issues in Mathematics. The goven-ment of Australia emphasizes the importance of literacy/numeracy in the schooling of today’s kids and manynational strategies have been devised, which is why wewant to share one of our activity with the Southern suburbsthrough the community paper.

One of the new arrival student said, “This was very challeng-ing for us, but learnt words we never came across before!”.Another year 7 student took pride in her model and said,“Now I know what are the names of these shapes I see atthe shopping centre!”

CONSTRUCTING A 3D CHANDELIER

REPORT ON NUMERACY WEEK


As it has always been so that there is a Qur’an competition held every year in the library during Ramadan, this year was no different and alhumdulillah, the students at the Australian Islamic College took part in the Ramadan Qur’an reading competition last term. The Qur’an competition was held in the last week of Ramadan, taking place on Thursday 17th September 2009 for the girls. For the boys, it took place one week later on Friday 25th Sep-tember 2009. The competition was set-up in the school library as usual.

The Qur’an competition was first held in 2008 at the Kewdale cam-pus. It was well organized and the students were very excited and enthu-siastic to take part. With the efforts of the Islamic teachers, library staff and students, the second Qur’an reading competition was held. This event was very successful as there were more par-ticipants than the previous year and the students were more confident. There-fore, there were an encouraging num-ber of students to participate this year. More than forty-five students came forth to share with us their talents in recitation which included the participa-tion of more than twenty-five girls and twenty boys for the occasion.

One of the main objectives of the Qur’an competition was to create con-fidence in the students and to realize the importance of reciting, memorizing and understanding the teachings of the Qur’an. The organizers of the compe-

tition were amazed at how well some students recited the Holy Qur’an. Moti-vation of this kind will allow students to reach their full potential and appreciate the efforts of their parents and teach-ers. It was also wonderful to have had Sr Nasreen present during the girls’ competition. Her words of advice were truly an encouragement and inspiration for all.

We would like to thank all the students who participated in the competition and congratulate their parents for their efforts. Every participant in the compe-tition is a winner. All participants will be awarded with a certificate of ap-preciation and participation. May Allah reward all the religious staff who has contributed towards the Qur’an compe-tition.

And no doubt it had been a difficult task for the judges to decide the best students of them all as masha’allah; all the students had put in a very com-mendable effort. Below is a list of names of the masha’allah very talented students who had won the competition.

AQWA

Kindy Tour of the LibraryThis month, the AIC Library at Kewdale had some new visitors who had come to take a special tour of the library. These were our students from Kindy who had come to visit our library for the first time along with Sr. Shwetha.

They were all extremely well behaved, and listened eagerly with all their attention, interest and enthusiasm to their teacher and Br Idris as he guided them through all the sections of the library. They were at first intro-duced to the junior-fiction section, followed by the Ara-bic/Islamic, reference and fiction sections, and finally the computer section, where they were each allowed to sit on a computer while Sr. Shwetha and the library staff guided them on how to use them.

Also, during the course of their library tour, Sr. Shwetha and the library staff explained to the children the spe-cial library rules and conditions to which they respond-ed with some amazing understanding, especially on how they were expected to take special care with the books, how they were to maintain silence inside the library at all times, the importance of the library ID card and the purpose of the security check and on how they were expected to bring and take books to and from of the library.

All in all, it was simply a joy to have this special visit from our kindy students at the library and we look for-ward to seeing other kindy classes very soon too.

WA Police Visiting Kewdale’s Kindergarten

Wake Up Call Issue 165/ 10November 2009

In term 3 the kindergarten classes had the theme of Community workers and we were lucky enough to have some members of the community come visit our classrooms. One particularly memorable visit was from the WA Police Service. Three police officers came from the Belmont Police station to do a talk with the children

talk to the police dispatch centre on the two way radio and one child even got first hand experience in how it feels to be handcuffed. The children were then taken outside where the police had two police cars for the chil-dren to explore. Some children got to pretend they were police driving the car and others got to sit in the back where “the naughty people” sit. On leaving the police displayed their lights and sirens giving the children a topic of conversation for the rest of the day.

Gardening@AICThe new arrival ESL students in the transition class took some time off their class to plant native plants in front of the new arrival classes. They had fun putting what they learnt in science and SOSE in practice. Well done!

Mobile phones ‘linked to brain cancer’A $30 million international study into mobile phones has found a link between long-term use and brain tumours.

Britain’s Daily Telegraph reports the World Health Organisation (WHO) will publish evidence showing prolonged use of a mobile phone increases the risk of developing brain tumours later in life.Would you continue to use a mobile phone if they were found to be dangerous?

Head of the WHO Interphone study, Dr Elisabeth Cardis, said the report would includea public health message and recommend children limit their use of mobiles.“I would not go as far as banning mobile phones as they can be a very important tool, not only in emergencies, but also main-taining contact between children and their parents and thus playing a reassurance role,” she said.“In the absence of definitive results and in the light of a number of studies which, though limited, suggest a possible effect of radio frequency radiation, precautions are important.”The decade-long investigation may counteract previous studies and the assurances of mobile phone companies that their prod-ucts are safe.A leading researcher says the study has not found anything conclusive.Professor Bruce Armstrong from the University of Sydney is working on the WHO Interphone study.He says the study has not yet confirmed whether or not there is an increased risk of cancer from mobile phone use.He expects the findings of the study to be released by the end of the year.

The physical Education Department would like to thanks all those who were involved in making the carnivaldays a great success.

A tortoise one day met a hare who made fun of her. “My, my, you move so slowly,you will never get far!”The tortoises, upset by the hare’s manner, said, “Let’s have a race and see who isfaster.”The hare laughed and said, “You must be joking! But all right, we’ll see whoreaches the other side of the hill first.” Off he ran, leaving the tortoise far behind.After a while, the hare stopped to wait for the tortoise to come long. He waitedand waited till he felt sleepy. “I might as well take a nap,” he thought. “Even if shecatches up with me, I can easily win the race.” So he lay down under a shady treeand closed his eyes.When the tortoise passed the sleeping hare, she walked on slowly but steadily.By the time the hare woke up, the tortoise was near the finishing line. He ran asfast as he could, but he could not catch up with the tortoise.Moral of the Story: Slow and steady can win the race.
