Al Ansaar Foundation – Educating, Uniting, Informing, Uplifting The Al-Ansaar Foundation was founded in 1993 (1414 AH) with the primary objective of promoting Islamic education and tarbiyyah (character building). In 1994 premises were acquired at the Mariam Bee Sultan Islamic Centre (222 Kenilworth Road, Overport, Durban) where a pre-school, nursery and Madrasah were established. Since 1995, Al-Ansaar has embarked upon a number of other educational projects such as Hajj Seminars, a Qur’an School, and an Islamic Library. In the year 2000, the Al-Ansaar offices were relocated to 189 West Road, Overport, Durban. Al-Ansaar is focused on the view that the revival and renaissance of the Ummah can only be realised by education, tarbiyyah and da`wah (propagation of Islam). Al-Ansaar believes that for Muslims to re-assert their civilisational role, education and knowledge must be given the highest priorities! Al-Ansaar activities and projects are designed to create awareness, revive beliefs, and enforce Islamic practices and family values. Radio Al-Ansaar and the Al-Ummah Newspaper have been used to tackle current issues, encourage debate and discussion, and create an informed and conscientious Ummah. 2010 heralds the seventeenth year of the Foundation’s activities. Our desire to create an enlightened, informed, educated and Islamically active community in KZN has gained tremendous success. The culmination of this success is the establishment of the Cultural and Conference Centre which will perpetuate our activities. |
Achievements of the Al-Ansaar Foundation • Meeting with Mr Nelson Mandela (former State President

Hosted by Nishal Singh and Somaya Khan 19 November 2011 Today’s Lecture by N Singh Hi Guys, Today’s lecture involves a competition run by Vodacom (Bluff and Westwood Mall stores) and the prize giveaway is a 4Gb flash disk, provided that you answer a math question correctly. Our lecture today is a continuation of the area of a circle using formulae. Recap on circle areas Type 1 To find the area of the circle when the radius is given Idea is to take the radius and multiply the radius by itself and then multiply the answer by 3.14
Answer: 5 x 5 x 3.14 = 78.5
To find the area of the circle when the diameter is given Idea is to divide the diameter by 2 to give you the radius Then again take the radius and multiply by the radius and then multiply by 3.14
Answer: So we find the radius and we divide by 2, therefore we take 40 divide by 2 = 20. Now 20 x 20 x 3.14 = 1 256
To find the area of the circle when the circumference is given Idea is to take the circumference and divide it by 3.14 to give you the diameter Then take the diameter and divide it by 2 to give you the radius Now take the radius and multiply it by the radius and then multiply it by 3.14
Answer: Step1 circumference divided by diameter therefore 24 divided by 3.14 = 7.64 Step2 diameter divided by 2 therefore 7.64 divided by 2 = 3.82 = radius Step3 radius x radius x 3.14 therefore 3.82 x 3.82 x 3.14 = 45,82

Hosted by Nishal Singh and Somaya Khan 12 November 2011 Topic: Recap of last week’s lecture on perimeter and today’s lecture on area of rectangles, circles Part one Definition of area in 2-dimensional Let’s look at a small garden. If you had red paint under your shoes and if you walked on the grass and your shoe painted every single grass patch in the garden, then you would have painted all the garden space on the ground. Imagine the look on your mum’s face when she finds the entire garden now red. You’re going to be in trouble! Part two Definition of area in 3-dimensional Imagine you where eating an Oreo biscuit which is circular in shape.
So now if you run your tongue on the surface of the biscuit, your
tongue would cover the whole area of one side of the biscuit. If
you suddenly place more Oreo biscuits on top of each other, then
you would have a huge pile of biscuits. So now we have many areas
of the biscuits. This huge pile of Oreo biscuits with so much of
areas is called the volume of the whole biscuit pile. Area of rectangle = L X B Simply means the space inside the rectangle can be found by multiplying
the length with the breadth. Part four Area of circle For this we need to understand that pi or |
is a fixed constant. The concept of pi is that if we are standing
in a large circular room like the circus, and if we divide the circumference
by the diameter, we would get an answer of 3.14. Likewise if one
had to take the circumference of a smaller coca cola lid cap and
divide it by its diameter, then we would get the same answer of
3.14.

MATHS MASTER by Nishal Singh Grade 8 topic Perimeter of 2 dimensional objects Part one Definition of 2 dimensional and 3 dimensional Firstly, what do we mean by 2dimensional.Think about a flat plane
like the floor, wall. The floor is flat and even on the same surface.
WE have only to be concerned about the length and the width of the
floor. So the floor or the wall on its own are 2 dimensional objects.
The idea behind 3 dimensional is when we put the floor and the wall
together, so now we have the length and width of the floor and the
height of the wall.So again listeners, the idea of combining length,
width and height is now 3 dimensional so we have 3 planes. An example
of 3 d in technology would be our some movies on the cinema like
“smurfs on 3d” or “lion king on 3d “ whereby
one needs to where a certain glasses so that the image from the
screen appears as though it is coming out of the screen. Part2 Definition of perimeter Lets look at a swimming pool. Lets place a chair at the edge of
the swimming pool. If we walk around the swimming pool and come
back to sit on the chair. Then listeners we have travelled the entire
length of the swimming pool.or we could take a very huge tape measure
and measure the entire length around the swimming pool. So we say
we have measured the perimeter of the swimming pool. Rectangle
Can you see that the opposite ends of the pages are the same length.So
that shape which has 4 enclosed sides that have opposite ends equal
is called a rectangle. By the way, the corner points of the pages
have an angle of 90°. Circle O Now lets take the idea of perimeter to the circle. Another name for perimeter or length of a circle is called the circumference. If you wandering what circle looks like, look at the bottom of a coca cola can. The shape that looks round is a called a circle. Another example would be the shape of a a car wheel which is circular in shape.Now if stand inside the centre of a giant circle and lets say u have a few friends,Tom.bilal,somaya,tasneem,lee,siva,shihle standing at different points on the circle.lets say that you throw a rope to Tom and he measures it and lets say the rope is 3m. Now you throw the rope to tasneem and she measures and she screams across to me and says that that rope length is 3m. If you throw a rope to any of your friends To some up, how we calculate the length or circumference of the
circle, we take the diameter and Nishal Singh |

Hadrat Khadijah (RA) Awards recognise remarkable
women Named after Hadrat Khadijah (RA), wife of our beloved Prophet Muhammad (SAW), Makkah’s illustrious businesswoman and first woman to accept Islam, the awards aim to inspire women to emulate her refined character and example. This year’s awardees are Farida Joosab (Parent Award), Fawzia Cassim Jamal of the UK (Community Award), Women’s Cultural Group (Patron’s Award) and Safura Khan (Special Merit Award). The awards recognise women who work selflessly; whose efforts benefit not only their families, but the community at large. Mystery Pink Awards were presented to the top three best dressed women at the event. Guest of Honour, Nicky Abdinor of Cape Town inspired guests with her positivity and determination to live life to the fullest. She was born without arms yet encouraged by her mum attend a mainstream school. Nicky excelled academically and graduated as a clinical psychologist. “My aim is to challenge people’s beliefs about disabilities. I always wanted to drive a car and the joystick driving system has enabled me to do so. My message to you is simply not to focus on what you can’t do, but to focus on what you can do. I think it would be very boring if we all looked the same. I think we have to embrace our differences,” says Nicky. The Ibn Masud Centre of Excellence is an education and skills training centre that accommodates learners who have special needs. The school caters for learners between the ages of 5 and 8 with hearing impairment, speech impediments, muscular and cognitive disabilities, autism and CAPD (Central Auditory Processing Disorder).

Africa 1 Aid Convoy is the first land-based convoy set to depart from the African continent to deliver much needed relief to the people of Gaza. It is an initiative spearheaded by the South African based Al Quds Foundation and supported by a host of civil society organisations and charities. The Convoy is scheduled to leave South Africa for its epic journey during the last week of June 2011. The evening afforded members of the public as well as well-wishing organisations and enterprises the opportunity to hear first-hand details about preparations for the convoy. It also gave the above mentioned parties the chance to pledge their solidarity and support for this trailblazing initiative. Speakers at the evening included the head of the Convoy, Maulana Ihsaan Hendricks, Mufti Abdool Kader Hoosen and Maulana Moosa Leher of Cii Broadcasting, and Mohammed Joosab and Riaz Jamal of the Al-Ansaar Foundation. The evening also featured Nasheeds by WAAHID, informative presentations and a live auction. Two youngsters, Zahra Randeree and Ayesha Ravat were acknowledged for their talent. Zahra created a ribbon embroidery clock, which was auctioned and donated back to the Africa 1 Aid Convoy to take with them to Gaza. Ml Hendricks referred to it as ‘Sa`atul Quds’ or the Time Clock of al-Quds. Ayesha wrote a poem dedicated to the children of Gaza, which she recited on Cii. A ticket for one lucky brother to accompany the Africa 1 Aid Convoy team to Gaza was up for grabs. Mr Abdullah Dhooma was named the winner. The Gaza Solidarity Evening was held a week prior to the Nakba being commemorated in Palestine and around the world. May 15th 1948 is the day that Israel came into existence, when the immigrant Jewish community in Palestine unilaterally declared statehood. The word 'nakba' is Arabic for catastrophe, a term that aptly describes the resultant expulsion of Palestinian people from their towns and villages, their loss of property, nationality and homeland and the current condition that has Palestinian people scattered throughout the four corners of the Earth, denied the right to return to a land that was once theirs.
