CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY ISLAMIC SOCIETY BIG SIBS SCHEME
This is what we hope to be one of many more programmes that we undertake as
Cambridge University Islamic Society to provide for the Muslim community at
large in the Cambridge area.
This scheme has been very successful in the past. The following
aims/objectives for local Cambridge Muslims:
1- CONFIDENCE building for our younger brothers and sisters; through
an exploration of a variety of activities to find their strengths
2- improving SELF-ESTEEM; by their socialising with and making older
friends
3- being a good ROLE-MODEL for the children - religious and academic
guidance as much as we can
4- facilitating the process of acquiring academic and Islamic knowledge
5- providing a conducive environment for halaal entertainment and
sports
All these done through activities such as:
a) helping with Homework in the younger sibs house (previously this has
worked very well with a meal for them to eat together..)
b) football (or other activities/sports)
c) going out to eat together
d) 'lecture shadowing' (where the younger sib attends lectures and
classes at Cambridge University)
e) bowling/cinema etc
f) attending mosque together etc...
These are of course merely ideas for aims. objectives and activities, and
the details will vary depending on the siblings and what each individual is
particularly looking for.
Learn the content of an entire full-time academic year's worth of Arabic
at a British university in just 15 lessons.

Ibrahim - Where in the Spectrum Does He
Belong? By Shahidun
Rahman
The book is an
autobiographical account of a mother’s struggle to bring up a child with a
learning disorder. It tells the story of Ibrahim Rahman and his struggle
with Semantic Pragmatic Language Disorder, (a speech and language
disorder) part of the autistic spectrum of disorders. It highlights the lack
of awareness of this condition within our society, but particularly within
the Bangladeshi community where autism is not recognised.
It is currently available as a printed book
- ISBN 1-904181-35-X from the following web sites Amazon, Waterstones,
Blackwells, Powells, Foyles, and every major internet bookstore. It is also
available as a downloadable e-book from
http://www.deunantbooks.com/bookslist/Biography/page1.html.

Foods who supplies HALAL food to Addenbrookes Hospital is AUTHENTIC. The
Halal Food Authority checked them out and all their licences and cooking
practises are ISLAMICALLY CORRECT.
For all those who require a NON-CURRY Halal meat should
make a request at the ward, if possible before they are
admitted...otherwise a Kosher menu is available with chicken and fish
dishes.
REMEMBER ..if you do not ask they cannot monitor a
demand for Halal food to taste. For European Muslims, a non-curry menu is
being looked into, but it is demand driven so please ask.
For all comments to the me as the Foundation Governor
should be emailed or presented in writing to the address below if you need
me to take any action.
A Mosque area has been designated for all STAFF and
PATIENTS for every FRIDAY only. For a few weeks it is SEMINAR ROOM 8 in
the Clinical School.
Otherwise please use the curtained area in the chapel
for daily prayers and make sure the Qur'an with English Translation is
always on display above the cabinet holding the prayer mats.
