2.  NEMAT KHARBOUTLI      Acting CEO     Muslim Women Australia (MWA)     info@mwa.org.au  Message form the Acting CEO Assalamu Alaykum dear sisters and community,   It has been an incredibly challenging last few months.   By the will of Allah – and all praise is to Him – we are now on the cusp of being over the mountain, insha Allah! From next week, society will begin opening up again as lockdown restrictions ease. It is a highly anticipated time for us all.   As we emerge from one of the most gruelling periods in our living memory, it is nonetheless important that we remember that COVID-19 has been defined by its ability to shift, change, and for new variants to wreak havoc. As such, adhering to the health advice which we all know has ultimately proven absolutely spot on is critical.   Further, we want to remind everyone that we know for many of us there will be an element of disorientation as we go back to a “normal” life that many of us have forgotten. If you are struggling – in any which way – please get in touch with us to see how we can support you. It’s important that you know we’re there, and its important we are all there for each other: family, friends and more. So please do ask people to see how they are doing and to support them if you can!   Relevantly, this month we are marking national Mental Health Month. This could barely come at a better time given the challenges we’ve been through. We look forward to sharing much with you in this respect on our social media channels and hope you can follow us. We’ll also share some great materials by email in the coming few newsletters.   A specific reminder this week that we are here to support Temporary Visa Holders. If you know of a person with a temporary visa that needs the community’s support, please direct them to us and we would be delighted to support, insha Allah!   Finally, we bring your attention to a range of exciting new activities as we enter a new school term. We are delighted to be hosting these and hope they can be a small semblance of our journey back to a (new!) normal. Several are online and some are in person – please check them out below.   May Allah keep us steadfast and make the coming months easier than the past few have been. A reminder that MWA is here to support the community. If you are facing struggles now or have any particular issues of concern that you would like us to raise further, please get in touch with us via info@mwa.org.au or 02 9750 6916. Duas for Distress: Allah’s help in challenging timesThe severe impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has had a worrying effect on the mental health of millions of people around the world. Levels of anxiety, fear, and isolation caused by social distancing restrictions have increased and there is now greater uncertainty and emotional distress as the world struggles to bring the virus under control and find solutions. Everything in our lives that the Almighty decides for us is perfect and balanced. The wisdom behind why we are tested with hardship is known by Allah SWT and sometimes it’s disclosed to us if we have the knowledge.  As believers and especially when we become knowledgeable about our deen, we begin to understand that whatever Allah SWT chooses for us, is the best. We recognize that everything good and bad, pleasing and displeasing, and all of life is a test. Therefore we should never lose hope because of the hardships we face.  We need to accept that these trials are either: An expiation for our sins. A means of raising our status in the sight of our Lord. It can be a form of spiritual elevation. A means of attaining closeness to Allah SWT. It may be needed for us to grow as human beings.  The scholars of the Islamic tradition have mentioned that our trials encompass a few key elements: They are filled with subtle blessings that we do not perceive, but are nevertheless there. We should put our trust in Allah SWT and accept His decree while fully striving to alleviate our difficult situation. We should focus on being content with Allah’s Qadr by seeking His reward and remaining steadfast in our faith.  They are a way of reminding ourselves that our situation could always be so much worse.  We need to remember that tribulations and sufferings in this world pale compared to eternity and what will befall us after death.  Sometimes, the suffering in this world can be a guide of how little we will be able to bear the sufferings of the next world. During times of hardship and suffering, it is important that we humbly beg Allah for His comfort and protection. Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, says: فَلَوْلَا إِذْ جَاءَهُم بَأْسُنَا تَضَرَّعُوا وَلَٰكِن قَسَتْ قُلُوبُهُمْ وَزَيَّنَ لَهُمُ الشَّيْطَانُ مَا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ “If only, when Our calamity came upon them, they humbled themselves. But their hearts hardened, and Shaytan made their deeds appear good to them” [Qur’an 6:43] The importance of supplication to Allah cannot be overstated.  The great Imam Ibn al-Qayyim said, “Duʿāʾ is one of the most beneficial remedies. It is the enemy of calamity; it repels it, cures it, prevents its occurrence, and alleviates it or reduces it if it befalls [one]. It is the weapon of the believer.” As Muslims, we have been blessed with powerful and effective Duas that not only can eradicate our stress and anxiety, but also help us draw closer to Allah (swt).  Here are five short, but impactful Duas that you can recite daily to help you keep calm and find solace during these testing times: 1. Dua to remove anxiety  حَسْبِيَ اللَّهُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ عَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ وَهُوَ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ (سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ Ḥasbiya Allāhu lā ilāha illā huwa ʿalayhi tawakkaltu wa-huwa rabbu al-ʿarshi al-ʿaẓīm. Translation: Allah is enough for me. There is no true god but Him, in Him I put my trust, and He is the Lord of the Great Throne. (Repeat seven times.) [Abū Dāwūd] This supplication appears in the Qur’an. Allah, the Almighty, says,  If they turn away, say, “Allah is enough for me. There is no true god but Him, in Him I put my trust, and He is the Lord of the Great Throne. This duʿāʾ is a reminder that everything in creation is under Allah’s control. Our belief in Him and His divine decree has the ability to soothe our hearts. Once we have put forth the effort for our desired results, we no longer have to worry. The outcome is in the Hands of the Lord of “the Great Throne” and the Throne is the greatest of all creations. 2. Dua to safeguard from anxiety and depression اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ الْهَمِّ وَالْحُزْنِ وَالْعَجْزِ وَالْكَسَلِ وَالْبُخْلِ وَالْجُبْنِ وَضَلَعِ الدَّيْنِ وَغَلَبَةِ الرِّجَالِ Allahumma inni a’udhu bika minal-hammi wal-Ḥuzni wal-’ajazi wal-kasli wal-bukhli wal-jubni wa ḍala’id-dayni wa ghalabatir-rijal. “O Allah, I take refuge in You from anxiety and sorrow, weakness and laziness, miserliness and cowardice, the burden of debts and from being overpowered by men.” (Al-Bukhari) This supplication is especially important during turbulent times of widespread economic instability, public health crises, and general apprehension about what the future holds. A believer can draw on their faith to prevent panic and maintain hope, finding solace in this prophetic prayer. He or she knows that whoever seeks refuge in Allah is safeguarded by the Most Merciful Protector and Wise Overseer. 3. Dua when distressed اللَّهُمَّ رَحْمَتَكَ أَرْجُو فَلَا تَكِلْنِي إِلَى نَفْسِي طَرْفَةَ عَيْنٍ وَأَصْلِحْ لِي شَأْنِي كُلَّهُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَا أَنْتَ Allahumma rahmataka arju fala takilni ila nafsi tarfata ‘aynin wa aslih li sha’ni kullahu la ilaha ila anta “O Allah, I hope for Your mercy. Do not leave me to myself even for a blink of an eye. Correct all of my affairs for me. There is none worthy of worship except You.” This dua is one of the supplications of the distressed. The Prophet ﷺ advised his daughter, Fatima R.A to say it in the morning and evening.  You are asking Allah SWT not to leave you to yourself because when you put your trust in Him, your affairs will be okay. You may misjudge, be led by your desires, or lack wisdom, so you ask the One who constantly manages the affairs of the world not to leave you to yourself. If you are in distress, you should be hopeful of Allah’s Mercy and expect that He will take care of all your problems. Knowing that in itself brings me relief immediately – what’s better than that? 4. Dua for protection from illnesses اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْبَرَصِ وَالْجُنُونِ وَالْجُذَامِ وَمِنْ وَسَيِّيءِ الأَسْقَامِ Allāhumma innī aʿūdhu bika min al-baraṣi wa-al-junūni wa-al-judhāmi wa-min sayyiʾi al-asqām Oh Allah! I seek refuge in you from vitiligo, madness, leprosy, and evil diseases. [Abū Dāwūd and al-Nasaʾī] Anas ibn Mālik (ra), who served the Prophet ﷺ in Madīnah for ten years, said that Allah’s Messenger would frequently say this prayer. Preserving one’s mental health is so important that it is one of the five higher objectives of the sharīʿah. This duʿāʾ mentions protection from “madness” or severe mental illness. The last phrase in this duʿāʾ is “evil diseases.” This refers to diseases that most find extremely hard to bear. They are usually chronic or have long-term devastating effects. When we make this duʿāʾ, it will protect us, in shāʾ Allah, from all of these diseases. We should do our best to say this prayer frequently, as our Prophet ﷺ did. 5. Dua for well-being and divine protection ((اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ الْعَافِيَةَ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالآخِرَةِ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ الْعَفْوَ وَالْعَافِيَةَ فِي دِينِي وَدُنْيَاىَ وَأَهْلِي وَمَالِي اللَّهُمَّ اسْتُرْ عَوْرَاتِي وَآمِنْ رَوْعَاتِي اللَّهُمَّ احْفَظْنِي مِنْ بَيْنِ يَدَىَّ وَمِنْ خَلْفِي وَعَنْ يَمِينِي وَعَنْ شِمَالِي وَمِنْ فَوْقِي وَأَعُوذُ بِعَظَمَتِكَ أَنْ أُغْتَالَ مِنْ تَحْتِي)). Allāhumma innī asʾaluka al-ʿāfiyah fī al-dunyá wa-al-ākhirah allāhumma innī asʾaluka al-ʿafwah wa-al-ʿāfiyah fī dīnī wa-dunyāya wa-ahlī wa-mālī allāhumma ustur ʿawrātī wa-āmin rawʿātī allāhumma iḥfaẓnī min bayni yadayya wa-min khalfī wa-ʿan yamīnī wa-ʿan shimālī wa-min fawqī wa-aʿūdhu bi-ʿaẓamatika an ughtāla min taḥtī. Translation: O Allah, I ask You for well-being in this world and the Hereafter. O Allah, I ask You for pardon and well-being in my religion, my worldly affairs, my family and my property. O Allah, conceal my faults and keep me safe from what I fear. O Allah, guard me from in front of me and behind me, on my right and on my left, and from above me. And I seek refuge in Your Magnificence from being swallowed up from beneath me. [Abū Dāwud and Ibn Mājah] The Prophet ﷺ consistently made this supplication every morning and every evening. Ibn ʿUmar (ra) said, “Allah’s Messenger never failed to say these prayers when he reached the evening and [then again] when he reached the morning.” In this duʿāʾ, the Prophet ﷺ asked for well-being (ʿāfiyah), which means to be free of illnesses and afflictions. ʿĀfiyah is much more than physical health. It includes spiritual, emotional, and social dimensions of well-being. ʿĀfiyah is so important that the Prophet ﷺ asked for it twice in this duʿāʾ. Conclusion Calling upon Allah is one of the greatest ways that you can strengthen your bond with Him. So come back to this article periodically to remind yourself of the meanings of these du’ās. Memorize them and teach them to your friends and family. Always know that when you ask Allah for anything, He is Near. As Allah tells us in the Qur’an:  ‏وَإِذَا سَأَلَكَ عِبَادِى عَنِّى فَإِنِّى قَرِيبٌ ۖ أُجِيبُ دَعْوَةَ ٱلدَّاعِ إِذَا دَعَانِ ۖ فَلْيَسْتَجِيبُوا۟ لِى وَلْيُؤْمِنُوا۟ بِى لَعَلَّهُمْ يَرْشُدُونَ ‎ “If My slaves ask you about Me, I am Near. I answer the call of the caller when he calls on Me.” [Quran, 2:186] The MWA is also here to support the community in these challenging times.

Soon it will be a hijab shortage. but don't worry we still have plenty in stock. If not we can always get the army involved. They seem to have plenty of time on hand.   By the way, we are only joking above. It was interesting seeing the reaction of people to the shortage of petrol. Especially Muslims. As Muslims, we should be setting an example for others to follow, but I have seen and heard people ganging up together so that they can get petrol. It's really, really sad. As responsible sensible adults, we should know that sharing is the first step to ensuring the smooth running of a country, community etc. But it seems it takes one small chaos for the country to go mad. imagine if something really serious were to happen? Oh, wait. Covid19 did. And even then it seems no one has learnt anything.    This email isn't having a go at anyone. it's just a little humour. But we thought it important to add a little serious note as well.   Have a lovely day,    Hidden Pearls       Hidden Pearls 14-16 Tooting High Street London SW17 0RG customerservice@hidden-pearls.co.uk Vulnerability between husband and wife: The best of examples At a time when men are often encouraged to be above seeking comfort due to a warped understanding of what “masculinity” means in Islam, we look at how the ultimate example – our Prophet (peace be upon him) – found comfort in our mother Khadijah. The Prophet (SAWS) said that there is no doubt that Khadijah (Allah be pleased with her) was the best woman of her time. And she, along with her daughter, are amongst the four women that perfected their faith.  Allah revealed that this most notable woman perfected her Iman (faith) even before the revelation of salaah (prayer), before the revelation of siyaam (fasting), before the revelation of zakaah (alms giving) or hajj (pilgrimage), before the revelation of most of the rules and legislation. This is possible because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is the one who told us that the most perfect of the believers in their faith are the ones who are of the best character.  And Khadijah was known as al-taahirah – the pure woman – even before Islam was revealed.  n men are often encouraged to be above seeking comfort due to a warped understanding of what “masculinity” means in Islam, we look at how the ultimate example – our Prophet (peace be upon him) – found comfort in our mother Khadijah. The Prophet (SAWS) said that there is no doubt that Khadijah (Allah be pleased with her) was the best woman of her time. And she, along with her daughter, are amongst the four women that perfected their faith.  Allah revealed that this most notable woman perfected her Iman (faith) even before the revelation of salaah (prayer), before the revelation of siyaam (fasting), before the revelation of zakaah (alms giving) or hajj (pilgrimage), before the revelation of most of the rules and legislation. This is possible because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is the one who told us that the most perfect of the believers in their faith are the ones who are of the best character.  And Khadijah was known as al-taahirah – the pure woman – even before Islam was revealed.  She is the daughter of 2 royal people, Khuwaylid and Fatima, and was a rich woman – indeed, she was a very wealthy business woman in her own right. She had been married before to some of the leaders of Quraish but she became a widow both times, and eventually wanted to marry the Prophet (SAWS) who was 15 years younger than her.  Why?  Because she started to ask around about his character. She wanted to know what the Prophet’s (SAWS) character was like because she had seen so much honesty and truthfulness from him.  And that was her reason for pursuing him in accordance with the command that would come later on – “if someone comes to you with good religion and good character, then marry that person”. That’s why the Prophet (SAWS) was pursued by her and that’s why he accepted this woman for marriage who was 15 years older than him and was a widow 2 times and had a son, Handab ibn Abi Hala, and all that “baggage” that would keep people away from a divorcee or a widowed woman today.  But they came together for character. And there is not a single narrated fight or argument between the Prophet (SAWS) and Khadijah; rather, their marriage was praised by all of the people of Mecca. When RasoolAllah (SAWS) had bestowed upon him the love for isolation and seclusion and he started to go to the cave of Hira to contemplate, she supported him. For anyone who has been to Mecca, you can see that Hira is an hour’s climb at least. But she didn’t say to the Prophet “Why are you staying away from home? Why are you spending weeks up there? And sometimes over a month?!” In fact, she supported the Prophet (SAWS) in trying to find guidance and trying to find those answers that he was seeking about the biggest questions.  By the time the Prophet was 40, she was 55 now. She was climbing up that mountain to take food to him and to comfort him. When the Prophet came down from Hira, he came to her with the famous words of “zammilooni, dathirooni”- “embrace me, cover me up”. In doing so, he was seeking the active comfort of his wife. He was being vulnerable in a way that many today would find unfathomable. Here was this man, confiding in and needing the hug, support and reassurance of his wife!  And as for her? She didn’t say to the Prophet “maybe you shouldn’t be going out there so long. Maybe you should stay home more often. Maybe you shouldn’t have been out there in the first place”. Rather, she would reassure the Prophet and she supported him emotionally and religiously. She says to the Prophet, “Allah will never disgrace you, because you uphold the ties of kinship, you’re good to your neighbors, and generous to them, you treat the orphans well, you take up the cause of the one who has been wronged” In essence, she said to the Prophet (SAWS) that “Allah loves you for the same reasons that I love you and the same reasons that I pursued you for marriage”. And the essence of that was good character. In turn, knowing why she sought him about, he recognised that he could find ultimate repose in her – and did just that! Can you imagine how beautiful it is that a spouse speaks about their spouse in that beautiful a manner in their moment of difficulty?  She comforted him in the most incredible way, saying in essence “this is how I see you. This is why you are amazing, and mean so much to me”. And not only did she support him emotionally here, she said to the Prophet (SAWS) “let’s go to Waraqah ibn Nawfal, my cousin who is a Biblical scholar and let’s see what he has to say”. Her comfort was practical. Her support was real, even extending beyond the powerful words she uttered.  Further, Khadijah would wake up and stand right next to the Prophet in prayer in the dead of the night. Her support extended to pursuing with him rituals that were new, that no one else knew in this form and which hadn’t been fully codified yet. She thus gave him a spiritual comfort by fully embracing his profound journey. When the Prophet (SAWS) called to his people and the people rejected him she didn’t say, “we were doing well in society, we had high status, and now our reputation is being tarnished”, because this was the coming together of the “pure woman” and the “most trustworthy” of men. Rather, she stood by his side and reassured him, telling him that Allah will bring victory and honor to him.  Finally, she financially supported the Prophet’s (SAWS) call, mission and purpose. Previously, this woman lived her life like a queen – being of the elite of society. But when the going got tough, she was the one to support the Prophet (SAWS) with everything that she had of wealth and more! Even when times get tough in the boycott on Bani Hashim and Bani Muttalib, this woman was not even able to eat. And yet in her 60s she continued to support the Prophet with whatever she had, and did not care about what he had given up of wealth and comfort.  When the Prophet lost her as a result of not being able to eat and drink properly, she was eating leaves. When the Prophet lost her, he was devastated. She was 65 years old whenever she died and he was still a relatively youthful 50 year old man. He could have married many young women right away, but the Prophet always remembered the loyalty that she had towards him and the Prophet only showed her the greatest loyalty. ‘Aishah (Allah be pleased with her) said, “one time I got jealous and I said to the Prophet “should you have gotten over this old woman of Quraish that Allah has replaced with something better?” And the Prophet became so angry, responding “I swear by Allah , Allah did not give me something better than her” And he started to mention all of the forms of loyalty she had shown him”. The ultimate honour of Khadijah is that it was only the children that were given to the Prophet through her that allowed the lineage of the Prophet to survive. In her support of the Prophet, there are profound lessons for us. In an age where men are expected to pent up their frustrations, their concerns, and bottle them up to be “real men”, here is an example of a relationship in which support and comfort was mutual, real and reciprocal. There was no shying away from difficulties or thinking that a man’s status means he shouldn’t be vulnerable. To the contrary, the relationship was defined by vulnerability and open-ness. An example for us to the end of times! We ask Allah to make us like the Prophet and Khadijah in all of our affairs. We ask Allah (SWT) to grant us that concept of loyalty and that great character. And we ask Allah (SWT) to better our iman as a result and to end in their lofty destination and to meet them for a meeting which will be the best reward after our gazing upon our Lord on the last day.  Aameen.

(Qur’an 94: 5)   Despite the uncertain times we currently face, there is no barrier to prevent us from devoting ourselves to Allah. We are still in the blessed month of Dhul Hjjah and the blessed days of Tashreeq that follow Eid.   Make sure to use these blessed days to complete actions that will help yourself and those around you.   We understand how challenging a time it is and reiterate our commitment to support women, children and families in any and all ways we can through the COVID-19 pandemic. We are here to be of assistance in this difficult time in any way possible.   Our advice remains to please be home and stay safe. This particular instance of COVID-19 and its recurrence through Australia is very different to last year. For those where these rules apply, if you have to leave your home, make sure you wear a mask, maintaining your physical distance from people, and be extra careful. We are maintaining hope and we will get through this.      But also remember that your safety remains the number one priority in any situation. If you or anyone you know needs support, please do not hesitate to get in touch, and if you are in threat of violence, please call the police 000 as soon as you can.   Finally, the MWA is here to support the community. If you are facing struggles now or have any particular issues of concern that you would like us to raise further, please get in touch with us via info@mwa.org.au or 02 9750 6916.   Our team has been working around the clock making sure that those that need support are receiving the support they need, as well as strongly advocating on the concerns of the community, particularly that of South West Sydney.   As a team, we not only work in the LGAs of Fairfield, Liverpool, and Canterbury Bankstown, but many of our team live in these areas also, so you can be sure we will continue to ensure that the needs of the community are being addressed and we will do what we can to instil hope and calm in our hearts.     We hope you all look after yourselves in these uncertain times. Once again, we are here to support in any way we can.
