Wednesday 5/May/2009Al Habib Umar returned from a successful trip to Brisbane this morning and headed to The Royal National Park Audley. Following a heavy and busy schedule of travel and addressing the people of Sydney and Brisbane, it was now time to have a little breather. He enjoyed and relaxed in the tranquil environment and was taken on a short boat ride along Kangaroo River. Highlights of this will be available in the form of photographs inshallah.Following lunch hosted by Al Habib Umar's student he was introduced to Sydney’s two leading Muslim charity oragnisations. Muslim Aid described their work, focusing on aid relief to Yemen and took advantage to consolidate future work in Tarim and Yemen. Al Habib Umar was encouraged to hear that Muslim Aid would be able to train local Yemenis in a range of fields, specifically education at the level of the Western world. At Human Appeal International Al Habib Umar was acquainted with their work, specifically their recent relief work in Palestine. He was gifted with a sample of soil, taken from the grounds of Al Aqsa. Al Habib prayed that now that we have some of its soil, we would soon be able to walk through its doors. Dar Al Koran hosted Al Habib and one of its students delivered his final ayah before al Habib completing his memorization of the whole Koran. Maghreb prayer at Lakemba mosque was then followed by the daily purification of the heart lesson, which saw the masjid almost completely full of believers absorbing al Habib Umar’s guidance. The first of our community events then followed. The dinner for professionals carried the titled of “The role of Muslim Professionals in the west”. The Emporium function centre at Bankstown was packed out with approximately 600 men and 200 women, who booked out the hall 1 week prior to al Habib's arrival. After a recital from the Quran, the night was followed by Anasheed from 2 growing well versed groups. Al Habib Umar and his interpreter Sheik Yahya Rhodus delivered motivational and inspiring words and the nights MC was the respected Dr Mohammad Abdullah. Photos:
