I only ever asked you for one thing,' my father said, a quiver in his voice. 'Just this one thing.' It was as though I had smashed the Ten Commandments.

In Visible Ink is a Museum of Freedom and Tolerance endeavour that makes visible the invisible. Through sharing and amplifying stories, histories, art, conversations and projects that inspire people to see differently, it aims to make changes towards a more just world. The Furnace is a Western Australian film that illuminates the forgotten history of Australia’s ‘Ghan’ cameleers, predominantly Muslim and Sikh men from India, Afghanistan and Persia, who opened up the Nation’s desert interior, and formed unique bonds with local Aboriginal people. It shines a light on a crucial yet little known chapter of Australia’s history, celebrating the cultural diversity of early pioneers. We convened a screening of The Furnace and a following conversation about the importance of shining a light and giving visibility to the multiple and diverse histories of the Australian landscape. This discussion includes our incredible speakers (bios below): Affy Bhatti (Chair) Roderick MacKay Harjit Singh Rosie Sitorous Gary Bonney and features a short clip with the voice of Godfrey Simpson Speaker biographies: Affy Bhatti (Chair) is a British Pakistani man in Australia.

Rosie Sitorous is an emerging writer based in Western Australia. She has an established creative practice in spoken word performance, music and comedy, and works as a linguist with rural, regional and remote Aboriginal communities. Much of Rosie’s writing reflects on her relationship with her late mother, a great influence on her love of language, as well as her search, as a ‘third culture kid’, for place and belonging in contemporary Australia. Rosie consulted for The Furnace on the Badimia language along with Godfrey Simpson. Gary Bonney is an educator and storyteller and has undertaken a number of roles in regional and remote areas of Western Australia. Gary’s experience has included work in secondary education, with at risk youth, young people in residential settings and with Indigenous people in the Goldfields and Kimberley regions of Western Australia.

In continuation of our last episode podcast on the topic of "Australian Muslim or Muslim in Australia", Br Wassim Doureihi discusses this important issue in-depth with Br Yahya Alam.  Listen to the podcast to know and understand how the current world order, based on Secularism, forcefully drives this concept of identifying ourselves with one of these two diametrically opposite paradigms - which is not a mere 'names', but a phenomenon by itself.  With Australia approaching summer and lots of festivities around - that becomes part of defining one's national identity - it becomes more incumbent upon the Ummah to differentiate between these two terms and adhere to correct one based on Islam. These terms are not limited to Australia, but applies to every other Muslim living under this new nation states.

We, the Muslims living in Australia, do we identify ourselves as "Australian Muslims" or "Muslims in Australia"?  Looks like both are the same, but it is not. What is the difference then? Is it just the semantics or is there any significant difference to the way it is framed? The situation of the Ummah has changed post 9/11, especially so for the Muslims living in the west. We all live this difference practically every single day. There is an agenda set for us by the west towards which we are being pushed to achieve their goals. It is in this light these terminologies were born and we are being deliberately identified using one over the other by the west. Listen to Br Wassim Doureihi explain difference of these two terms, why it has been coined, what are its political implications and what we need to be aware of.  

What can you learn from a former Australian Christian who has now been Muslim for over 10 years? A whole lot.Check out our latest Podcast with Tom Finch as he breaks down his story, his struggles and his learnings throughout his journey into Islam.

The Clear Evidence Extract from “My Path to Islam: Australian Muslim Revert Stories” Chapter: “Abu Bakr's Way to Islam” Page: 15-20 Authors: Tuba Boz, Shifa L. Mustapha Publisher: Goodword, 2004 The following is the true account of an Australian revert taken from the honours thesis of Sister Tuba Boz. His name is Abu Bakr, and while his name, like many of those of his fellow-reverts, is chosen for its meaning and its nearness to some aspect of Islam, or that of the life of the Prophet of Arabia, Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), his story is truly that of an Australian young man with all his Australianism intact. And though he, himself, does not wish to be seen as other than a Muslim, it is, for fellow-Australians, encouragement and living proof of the Qur'anic ayat: Surah 49: 13” O mankind, indeed We have created you from male and female and made you peoples and tribes that you may know one another. Indeed, the most noble of you in the sight of Allah is the most righteous of you. Indeed, Allah is Knowing and Acquainted. “ If one had told Abu Bakr earlier, that he would one day become a Muslim, his reply would most probably have been, “Naah! No way!!!” for like many Australians his perception of Muslims was that they were terrorists. However, there is no accounting for the Mercy and Graciousness of Allah who leads to His Path those whom He wills from all peoples upon the earth; and Abu Bakr was to find this in due course. When asked what had triggered his search to find the true meaning of life, for that was the primary aim of his quest, his response was this: “There were a couple of things. It was the year my parents said they were going to separate. It was not the year they formally divorced, but it was the year my Dad moved out of the house. I went a little off the rails. I (even) had trouble with the police… I was drinking alot.” It may be seen that this was a painful time for this young man. This was to be further compounded, for it was in this year that one of his friends died. Of this event he said: “That led me to think, ‘There's my mate. He just died, and he is only eighteen years old! Is he just worm food?' You know what I mean. That's when I started relating it to my life, thinking, ‘If I died tomorrow what would it matter? What would it matter except to the few who know me among the billions on this Earth?' So I started thinking, ‘No! There has to be more. There has to be more than just this!”' It was with these questions in mind that Abu Bakr commenced his journey, looking to religion for the meaning of existence. He describes his experiences in this way: “First, I mean, logically, I'm an Aussie, so I went straight to Christianity, and I thought I'd have that fish sticker on the back of my car, and “I love Jesus”. I was thinking I'd go buy them and see if they did something for my parking fine!” his waggish sense of humour bubbling to the fore. Then seriously he explains, “Honestly I went through all the (Christian) religions; well not all the religions, but the ones I had access to I investigated. Christianity, including Catholicism, I investigated quite a bit. But the problem was I just couldn't find the answer. While they were all nice, I couldn't sit there and say, “This is the religion for me! ' and ‘This sounds beautiful! '” His search continued: “I looked at Hinduism when I was working in a service station with some Hindu friends...

Ahmed Helou is an educator who is currently working on an initiative to educate and inform others about aspects of modern history concerning the Muslim community. The project aims to discuss and inform others on the biographies of those who worked to establish the Australian Muslim community whilst in it's infancy. Among the individuals that are studied in this project are those such as Sheikh Fehmi Naji El-Imam (d. 2016) who was previously the Imam of Preston mosque, a founding member of the Board of Imams Victoria and previously held the position of Grand Mufti of Australia. The project aims to discuss just how different the world was compared was when Muslims first began to migrate and how several struggles and efforts were involved in establishing institutions from the ground-up. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/kalamcast/message
