Charity Week is back in UCC. The idea behind Charity Week is simple; to unify in our efforts to help those in need by raising money and awareness for orphans across the world.

The Prophet (pbuh) said:
“I and the caretaker of the orphan will enter Paradise together like this, raising (by way of illustration) his forefinger and middle finger jointly, leaving no space in between.” [Sahih al-Bukhari]

MCS will organize a bucket collection at our booth in UCC Main Campus. Details of the event is as follows

Date : 27 -29 October 2009 (Tue-Fri)

Time : 10.00am – 4.00pm

Venue : UCC Main Campus and Brookfielf Health Science Center

Please come and visit our booth today in support of our effort to make the life of the orphans through out the world so much better. We have food selling, charity t-shirt for only Euro 5, bucket collection, charity movie screening and so much more.

Some facts of today’s orphans
* 150 million orphans

* 8% of all children are orphans

* 42,200 children are orphaned every day

* 10.6 million (8%) of all children will die of preventable
causes before age five

* 5.4% of all children will die before age one

Why not help someone improve their life and inshallah you will see and feel the rewards in your own.

Kami di Atap Hijau ingin mengucapkan selamat datang kepada adik-adik yang baru tiba di bumi Cork yang indah permai. Selamat menghayati kehidupan di sini. InsyaAllah kami sentiasa ada untuk menghulurkan apa-apa bantuan.

Rasanya, hingga kini ramai yang sudah mengenali kami. Atap Hijau ditubuhkan sebagai penyempurna kepada persatuan-persatuan yang sudah ada di Cork. Kami ingin terus menyegarkan suasana sukakan ilmu dan kebajikan di kalangan rakyat Cork. Kami cuba untuk mengeluarkan artikel-artikel yang dapat memberikan impak yang baik buat semua. Selain itu, kami juga telah menubuhkan satu kumpulan nasyid supaya dapat menyampaikan mesej kami melalui hiburan. Kami mempunyai alat-alat muzik sendiri melalui tabung kami sendiri di samping sumbangan beberapa sahabat.

Kami telah memenangi tempat kedua pertandingan Nasyid Extravaganza peringkat Ireland di Galway pada Januari 2009. Kami kemudiannya telah dijemput ke beberapa majlis di serata Ireland termasuk oleh IMAM di Dublin, Cork City Council dan pihak Cork Muslim Society. Diharapkan usaha kami diterima sahabat-sahabat semua dan diberkati Illahi.

Di bawah adalah beberapa rakaman video persembahan kami. Selamat menonton !!

Join Earth Hour; Switch OFF your Light for 60Minutes on 28th March 09, 830pm

Esok, 28 Mac 2009 merupakan Global Earth Hour. Mungkin ramai yang tidak mengetahui apa yang dimaksudkan dengan Earth Hour ini dan apa mesej yang nak dibawa.

Earth Hour mula-mula diperkenalkan di Australia bagi menunjukkan keprihatinan mereka kepada ‘global warming’. Setiap orang mempunyai satu undian untuk mendesak pihak berwajib untuk mengambil langkah menyelamatkan bumi daripada terus-terusan dirosakkan. Bagaimana?
Dengan menutup suis lampu di rumah kediaman/premis/bangunan kepunyaan anda.
“Switching OFFyour lights is a vote for Earth, or leaving them ON is a vote for global warming.”

Boleh baca selanjutnya di website: http:www.earthhour.org kerana saya tidak berniat untuk mengulas lebih lanjut tentang perkara ini.

Namun, ada satu persoalan yang ingin saya lontarkan kepada semua pembaca sekalian; ‘Apakah relevannya EarthHour ini dengan kita?Secara specifiknya suka untuk saya tujukan kepada sahabat-sahabat yang beragama Islam‘

Assalamualaikum wbt,

On behalf of Malaysian Society NUIGalway, I would like to promote Free Palestine Fund Raising Campaign.

This is a continous project (Jan 2009- June 2010) and only need you to donate 1% of your monthly scholarship money. 1% definitely only a simple meal you enjoy at Banna Thai for once..or 2 lunch meals at CUH/Bons Secour Cafe..Or maybe your expenses on new coat/top/accessories.

Ideally, you only have to fast or tie your Nafs for only 1 day per month. Your Euro10 brings a very,very huge meaning to the people in Palestine. If you constantly donate Euro10 for 6months (or longer than that, depends on your choice), there would be a constant amount of money that is available to be donated to the Palestinian.

So, what do you wait for any longer? They in Palestine need our help and ‘ihsan’..and that is our responsibility as a human and a Muslim brother/sister to help their need.

Set up a new standing order now..you may do it online (Everything is easy nowadays )..

* Bank: Bank of Ireland

* Account Name: Malaysian Society Charity

* NSC: 90-40-18

* Account Number: 19951228

The duration for the standing order can be 6 months (Jan 09-June 09) OR 12 months (Jan 09- Dec 09) OR 18 months (Jan 09 – June 10)- Its all depends on you!

I wish you may join us in this campaign to ease the Palestinians burden and suffering (although materials are not the main need of theirs) – But, at least we do something to help them. And do spread on your friends and colleagues.

Millions of thanks in advance~~
