==== 1. Quote of the Day ====
Assalaamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatu.
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon
him) said, "After the death of a person his actions stop except for three things
that he leaves behind. Continuous charity, knowledge from which benefit is
obtained and a righteous son who prays for him." [Muslim]

Interested in Karate for Kids?
Sister Umm Asadullah says: Interested in Karate for children
aged 4 - 6 years? I have asked a sister in Cambridge about the possibility of
starting Karate classes for Muslim children aged between 4 - 6 years. Right now
I just want to find out how many people are interested (and will be committed!)
in this, insha'Allah. The idea would be to rent a cheap hall for one hour during
early evening time, one-day-a-week, insha'Allah. I am willing to "organize"
these Karate classes if I get enough committed people. The classes will not be
free. Currently I have six children on the list. If you are interested or want
to know more, then please contact me:
kstarbuck@hotmail.com
Golden Opportunities!
Any brothers or sisters interested in FREE training to be any
of the following: Life Guard, Aerobics Teacher, Childminder, Youth Worker; (all
of which pay very well once trained)? Contact
services@cambridgemuslims.info.
HELP! Do you know anyone who can teach
drumming?
Does anyone know of a sister who can teach drumming to young
people as part of an ongoing project working with youngsters who are drifting or
have drifted away from the Islam? Alhamdullillah we already have a brother who
has volunteered for drum teaching, but anyone who'd like to get involved in this
very important work to guide our young people back to the 'siratul mustaqeem'
would be most welcome. Training is available. Contact
services@cambridgemuslims.info.
