For Si Hameed and Shaykh Abdal Kabeer
Idris Mears
the party has washed up
on the shores of dawn
and only we lingerers and early risers
are out combing for amber
on the shining sand
hard packed by the weight
of the receded ocean
in the night
some more of our boon companions
the singer and the dancer
rowed off in a skiff
to our holding barque
moored with the flotilla
beyond the rim
of the curvature of the earth
now and then
I catch a glimpse of its topsail
a Noah’s ark of ones of a kind
the navigator the log keeper the bosun
the kindly rogue the pirate
at peace with himself and the sea
(and others of your ken)
and the captain whom I have yet to meet
(or is he still ashore?)
under the command of the Admiral
who will lead the fleet
across the great ocean

Jumada al-Akhira 1433 »
Jumada al-Akhira 1433
The Ministry of Awqaf in Morocco announced that the month of Jumada al-Akhira 1433 began at Maghrib on Sunday 22nd April 2012, so that Monday 23rd April was the 1st of the month.
Everyday: After Ṣubḥ and after ‘Asr there is the recitation of a rubu‘ – a quarter Ḥizb of Qur’ān.
Thursday: Shaykh Abdalhaqq Bewley teaches every Thursday at 6:30 pm, and is at present teaching from a work by Shaykh Abdalhalim Mahmud, the late Shaykh al-Azhar, may Allah be merciful to him.
On Fridays: There is recitation of the Friday Ḥizb of the Dalā’il al-Khayrāt after Jumu‘ah.
On Fridays: a series of classes looking at basic Maliki fiqh as well as issues of Mu‘amalat and the meaning of establishing the Deen in general. Suitable for both beginners and more advanced participants, at 6:30 pm.
On Sundays: At 11.30 am there is tea and coffee followed by recitation of a Ḥizb of Qur’an. This is a particularly good time for visitors, whether Muslims or non-Muslims, to meet the community. All welcome. Visitors from London who choose to come by rail should note that for several years now the weekend has been used by Railtrack for line repairs and so part of the journey has been necessary by coach making the whole journey somewhat long, particularly if returning the same day. A car is strongly advised.

Shaykh Dr. Abdalqadir as-Sufi
Faced with the horror of the Sh‘ia massacre of the Syrian Muslim population, coupled with the frozen inaction of the Muslim peoples of Turkey and the Arabian Peninsula, with the shame of the Palestinians not man enough to admit defeat and half converted to Shi‘ism, and with the Arabs claiming Wahhabism while chained to dollars for petrol – surely it is time to review where in all this stands the Divinely ordained Deen of Islam, and to rediscover what in fact it is.

A Response by Ahmad Thomson
Introduction
I would like to thank everyone involved in this research project for their careful, balanced and informative research which has been conducted against the backdrop of the current judicial trend to implement human rights law in such a way as to secularise some of the basic practices of any religious group wishing to protect their religious ethos – which human rights law is in fact ostensibly meant to protect!
