Newsletter 2013 Al Amanah College The 23 rd ICPA Ramadan Iftar Dinner 2016 The Islamic Charity Projects Association held its 23 rd Ramadan Dinner on 10 th of June 2016 at Al-Amanah College Grand Hall, hosting over 320 official guests and bolstering honourable community merits. Twenty three years ago, the inaugural ICPA Ramadan Dinner set the trend. Since then it has continued to raise the bench mark for Ramadan Dinners (Iftars) in the community, maintaining a top position on many fronts. Unlike any other in calibre and inclusion, the ICPA Ramadan Dinner remains a platform for unity, rewarding moderation and inspiring dialogue on social and global affairs. After delivering his spiritual and moving brief on the blessed month of Ramadan, Darulfatwa Vice Chairman, his eminence, Sheikh Ibrahim El-Shafie said, “Darulfatwa Australia reached out to the hundreds of millions of Muslims around the world to further solidify the stand of mainstream moderate Islam and disintegrate calls of radicalism by minority sects. “Through its open and inclusive approach, Darulfatwa Australia strengthened its relations with international figures, and affiliated with Islamic institutions globally, on top of which is Al Azhar Ash-Sharif of Egypt”. His closing was a practical and realistic guide for the future. “We should put our hands together and work alongside the large Australian community to purify our society of any wrongdoing. “We need to maintain our strength to safeguard our society from evil and misleading ideologies that will lead to segregation and corruption. “These words must be reiterated until these meanings become engrained in our hearts and minds, and as such, living a harmonious life on the basis of strong cohesion with all fellow Australians.” The unprecedented feature of the event was undoubtedly the recognition of the Al-Azhar Ash-Sharif graduates. For the first time ever and through an arrangement between Al Amanah College, Salamah College, Darulfatwa Australia and Al-Azhar Ash- Sharif Egypt, four Australian imams completed a three month course at the world renowned university in Egypt in the moderate teachings of Islam. Mr Ayman Alwan, Al Amanah College Principal, called on His Excellency General the Hon. NSW Governor, David Hurley, Dr. Al-Shelh, Consul General of Egypt, Yusuf Shawqi, to present the achievement awards to the recipients: 1. Sheikh Haysam Hammoud 2. Sheikh Abdul-Latif Nachar 3. Sheikh Shadi Kasem and 4. Sheikh Amr Al-Shelh 10
Al Amanah College Al Amanah College Family Meals - Why Do They Matter? Newsletter 2013 Getting the whole family to sit down for dinner can be very difficult - with sport practice, working late and homework taking up the evening hours, many family members eat at whatever time best suits them - and that is all right from time to time. But research shows that families who eat together regularly (that is more than three times a week), have shown to have more positive outcomes when it comes to health, family relationships and social development. The family dinner table, after all, is where children learn manners, converse and interact with grownups, share what is happening in their lives and experience new foods. The preparation of food and the table setting process are all part of the roles in a family and shape thoughts and feelings around food and family. Social changes that are affect the amount of family meal times: • Increased hours spent at work • Number of Australians living alone • Number of women (particularly mothers) in paid work • Number of single parent households and/or family displacement • Use of technology in the household • Percentage of income spent on food and soft drinks away from the home Benefits associated with frequent family meal times: • Improved relationships between family members • Increased intake of healthy foods and healthier eating habits • Increased understanding of social behaviours • Improved speech for children • Better mental health outcomes • Decreased risk of children taking up smoking What you can do: • If you are not already eating together regularly, aim to do so just one night a week. • If dinnertime is too hard to get everyone together, try to have a special family breakfast on the weekends or a family lunch. • During the week, do not worry if everyone can make it. Sit with whoever is at home to enjoy a meal. • Ignore all phones, turn off the TV and ban texting at the table. • At a loss for conversation? Ask each family member to share one good thing and one bad thing that happened during their day. • Take turns talking so no one is left out. Use an egg timer for little kids if they tend to ramble! • Get your children involved in the meal preparation. Older kids can take charge of the whole meal, while younger ones can help set the table.
