of properties meant for orphans and destitute members of the society, he said in
comments carried in the Daily Nation.
It is shocking that lands and other properties were leased between Sh250 and
Sh6, 000, the commissioner stated while
adding that the individuals had romped in
a senior state official to ensure that their
efforts materialize.
In the suit, the four applicants complained
that the Supreme Council of Kenya Muslims (SUPKEM) and the Council of Imams
and Preachers of Kenya (CIPK) were not
consulted before the appointments were
made.
Letters seen by the Friday Bulletin addressed to Ali Said al Mandhry from the
Coast SUPKEM chairman Mudhar Khitamy
and CIPK organizing Secretary Khalifa
Muhammad said the appointments were
improper as Muslim scholars were not involved in the exercise.
In spite of the disapproval from some quarters, he said the larger Muslim community

Corrupting Hijab
Continued From Page 4
Nobody denies that Muslim women have
the freedom of choice. Modest fashion is
a contradiction. There is no modesty in
adornment and capturing attention. There
are consequences to every choice. Scholars have likened rejecting Islams codes of
modesty to rejecting Islam.
Westernism/modernism has worked hard
to destroy Hijaab. Though initiated by the
West, it has been left in the hands of modern Muslims who have eagerly and ignorantly used Western slogans to continue its
ruin.
Our beloved Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi
wasallam) said, Every religion has an innate character. The character of Islam is
modesty. [Ibn Majah]

OPINION
NATIONAL
The Muslim community in Meru County has been called upon to form Sharia
compliant cooperative societies (SACCOs) to benefit from devolution fund
for social economic empowerment.
The call was made by the Meru governor Peter Munya who stated that his
County government is ready to offer
the seed capital for the community to
facilitate and support the initiative.
Addressing the Muslim faithful at Maua
Stadium in Meru last week, Munya noted that the formation of the Sacco will
enable members to save and invest in
productive projects hence improve on
their economic statuses.
He pointed out that cooperative societies have been vehicles in which
people in developing countries have
improved their economic status and
livelihood, stressing that the formation
of shari'ah compliant cooperative society will offer the same opportunity for
the Muslim community in the county.
Munya advised the Muslim leadership
in Meru to liaise with the county director in charge of cooperative societies
to explore ways of forming Shari'ah
compliant Saccos. Munya noted that
the constitutional dispensation provides opportunities for people's participation and stressed that Muslims, as
a minority community should also be
involved in governance and development programmes in the county.
At the same time Governor Munya
asked the Interior Ministry to issue
youths living in Maua town with identity cards saying lack of identity cards,
particularly for Muslim youths in Maua,
had left them destitute. It is your right
to get an ID. If you are Kenyan, born
and working in Meru why shouldnt
you be issued with it? he asked and
promised to take up the matter with the
national government.
Imenti North MP Rahim Dawood, who
joined the faithful for the prayers called
on leaders to preach peace.
Living ones life in an atmosphere of God consciousness remains the ultimate purpose for
mankind to attain spiritual success.
In his talk on the purpose of life, Prof. Abdullatif
Essajee who lectures at the University of Nairobi said worshipping the Creator is the main
purpose of mans existence on earth and this
concept should be implanted in the lives of all
people as a means of attaining spiritual success.
The ultimate goal of our being on earth is to
seek the pleasure of the Almighty. Everything
we do has to be done for the sole purpose of
seeking Allahs pleasure as our stay on earth is
temporary, he said in his address to members
of the Ismaili community during a recent dinner
event at the Aga Khan Pavilion in Nairobi.
He explained that in Islam, worship is not limited to rituals such as the daily prayers but is
a comprehensive exercise that includes everything that man does in the way God has prescribed with the sole objective of attaining His
pleasure.
In his speech, Aga Khan National Council for
Kenya President Nawaz Gulam emphasized on
the communality of human beings and urged
people from all faith backgrounds to work together for the benefit of humanity.
Among those who attended the event was the
Isiolo deputy governor Muhammad Gulled,
Azim Lakhani the representative of the Aga
Khan Development Network, the High Commissioner of India Suchitra Durai, Westlands MP
Tim Wanyonyi and Appellate Judge Alnashir
Visram among others.

Whose responsibility?
The beloved Prophet of Allah peace be upon him and his companions gave out to charity and for the cause of Islam with a lot of passion and dedication that it reached a time during the golden reign
of the Khalifa Umar bin Abdulazaiz, where the public treasure or
Baitul Mal had excess reserves of wealth.
People were sent out to all the counties to make public announcements calling on anyone in need of financial help to come and
make a claim. Many times, no one came forward to make a claim.
That is the state of affairs when people follow the teachings of
Islam in letter and spirit. These are the people that Allah describes
in the Noble Quran, 2:274: Those who (in charity) spend of their
goods by night and by day, in secret and in public have their reward with their Rabb (Lord and Sustainer). On them shall be no
fear nor shall they grieve.
We have to compare the past with the present so that we may
know where we stand. All comparisons of the good deeds that our
Beloved Prophet peace be upon him and his companions left as a
legacy to show that we are almost certainly the opposite of what
they were. We have to realize that we are already caught up in a
disastrous cycle of poverty.
Most of the areas inhabited by people from our community are
fainting out of these problems. They have no energy in their veins
and no strength in their midst to breath a healthy life of development. Take a few examples. Look at Garissa. The Kenya Integrated Household Budget Survey says that 217,305 people in
Garissa are living below the poverty line. This accounts to 92% of
the population of Garissa. In Isiolo, 71, 729 people are living below
the poverty line. This represents 98% of the population of Isiolo. In
Lamu, 24, 664 people are well below the poverty line. This is 80%
of the population of Lamu. Things are not any better in the rest of
the counties predominantly inhabited by Muslims.
Whose responsibility is it to pull the community out of this mesh?
Does it matter to you? Does it matter to me? Does it matter to
anyone? Does it matter to everyone? The answer is obviously, it
matters to all of us and each one is duty bound to make a change
in the society.
Empowering our youth by giving them quality education and skills
is the answer to the change we need. For years Ummah Foundation has been trying with its meagre resources to see how best we
can bring this change. Through education you give a future to the
coming generations. After training in various fields, the graduates
will be able to compete favourably in the job market.
This changes the vicious circle. Empowering the youth who drop
out of schools after scoring non University or tertiary entrance
marks with various artisan, carpentry, masonry, motor vehicle mechanic and tailoring skills opens for them other avenues where
they can be able to earn a decent living and finally bring the desired changes.
