ACT | Canberra & Queanbeyan - Islamic Forum for Australian Muslims

ACT | Canberra & Queanbeyan

IFAM had built a strong presence in New South Wales. In 2006, IFAM was approached with the prospect of expanding and developing Dawah prospects in the Australian Capital Territory. The Muslim Communities of Canberra and Queanbeyan were presented with this opportunity through IFAM. The establishment of the ACT unit was a necessary step in achieving the ultimate aim of pleasing Allah (SWT).

Presently IFAM-ACT is committed to deliver the following programs to the Muslim communities of ACT and Queanbeyan.

Dawah

IFAM-ACT organises various Dawah related programs and training throughout the year in which every Muslim can join and participate. These Programs bring together all members of the Muslim Community and develop a harmonious feeling among everyone involved.

Family Camp

Every year IFAM ACT organises a family camp where muslim families spend time together for a few days. The objective of this camp is to train and plan ourselves for the activities that need to be carried out throughout the year.

IFAM-ACT Annual Islamic Quiz Competition and Tajweed Competition

Islamic Quiz had always been a popular and exciting event among the Muslim kids of Canberra. IFAM-ACT has been running this event from the last seven years. The main focus of this event is to remind and reaffirm the Muslim Youth of ACT and Queanbeyan with the fundamental concepts of Islam, Islamic Knowledge, Islamic way of life and Islamic culture and manners. Such activities involving the participation of Muslim families and their children not only help them understand the Islamic concepts and practice those in their lives, but will also empower them to do Tableegh to their non-Muslim friends & colleagues.

Quran Study Circle

Every fortnight Muslims sit together to study and understand Quran. Topics are assigned to brothers and sisters which they research, prepare and present it to the whole group. Other members of the group are also required to prepare the same topics so that they can add if something was not covered. This enables the participants to understand and implement the teachings of the Quran in their daily lives. The Study Circle, which is a fortnightly activity also prepares the individuals to promote Islam among Non Muslims, a concept widely known as Dawah.

Zakat, Zakat ul Fitr, Sadaqa and Qurbaan Collection

IFAM ACT collects donations, Zakat, Zakat ul Fitr, Sadaqa under the banner of Charity Australia International. The importance of helping our Muslim brothers and sisters who are in dire need for our assistance has never been compromised.
