Assalamu alaykum Since our foundation in 2013, refugees are one category of people that NZF Australia has been at the forefront of helping. This week, we want to ask our community to reflect on those individuals and families who have fled their homelands to seek safety with us. For Muslims, we can reflect upon the greatest generation - the Companions of our beloved Prophet SAW, who (including the Prophet SAW himself) were either refugees (muhajiroon) or providing safe haven (ansar). Which group do each of us fall into; what lessons do we take from them, what have we applied? We are doing a livestream this week to speak about this issue and invite you to join us. Live this Friday: Refugees & Asylum Seekers in Australia Friday 19 June 7 PM (Sydney Time) Panel discussion on the refugee experience and what we can do help Featuring Nasiba Akram (Founder, Project Humanity) + Ismail Davids and Asif Mulla from NZF Australia Live on our Facebook page and YouTube pages Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/NZFAus/live YouTube : https://www.youtube.com/nzforgau/live
