As the sacred month of Dhul Hijjah graces us once again, our hearts overflow with gratitude for the countless blessings Allah has bestowed upon us. This spiritually significant time in the Islamic calendar invites us to reflect, worship, and give in the spirit of sacrifice.
The first ten days of Dhul Hijjah are among the most virtuous days of the year, offering an opportunity for nearness to Allah. It is a time for Hajj (pilgrimage), a time to seek forgiveness, perform good deeds, and increase in acts of kindness and charity. These blessed days culminate in Eid Al-Adha—the Festival of Sacrifice—honouring the unshakeable faith and obedience of Prophet Ibrahim ( ) and his son Isma'il ( ) .
Eid Al-Adha is a celebration of faith, family, and generosity. It is a time when communities unite in prayer and give in the way of Allah, especially to those in need. It reminds us of the power of compassion and our responsibility to care for others. The surge in humanitarian crises impacting many parts of the world including Gaza, Yemen, Sudan and many more has posed many difficulties in supplying aid. Despite this, our presence is strong in these regions as we actively provide life-saving support to those facing immense hardship.
As we welcome this sacred season, may we carry its lessons of sacrifice, unity, and service into our daily lives. Let us extend kindness to all, uplift the less fortunate, and strive to be a source of goodness in our communities.
On behalf of Human Appeal Australia, we extend our warmest wishes to you and your loved ones for a blessed Dhul Hijjah and a joyful Eid Al-Adha.
May this holy occasion bring peace, happiness, and countless blessings to all.
Your sincerely,

PARENTING ISN’T A RACE
By Jamilah Samian | www.coolmumsuperdad.com
Let us be honest. Parenting is not a sprint; it is a marathon. Some days it may feel like a particularly uphill one. The laundry continues to pile up, the children are arguing over breakfast, and amidst the chaos, you are left wondering if you are the only parent who has yet to “figure it all out”. Meanwhile, social media feeds overflow with seemingly perfect families, milestone celebrations, and colour-coordinated chore charts worthy of display in an art gallery. It is easy, far too easy, to feel like you are falling behind.
You Are Not Competing
Many of us carry unspoken timelines:
“My child should be reading fluently by now.”
“Other parents appear so composed.” “Why am I still struggling with bedtime routines or managing my emotions?”
But just as children learn to walk, talk, and grow at different rates, so too do they develop emotionally, socially, and behaviourally at their own pace. The same principle applies to parents. Some of us were raised by gentle caregivers and naturally follow suit. Others are breaking cycles, learning healthier ways to raise their children. Progress is not always a straight line, and parenting certainly does not follow a one-size-fits-all timeline. If you would not expect your toddler
to learn to walk in a day, why rush yourself through the equally complex journey of parenthood? Be patient.
Consistency Over Perfection
The pursuit of perfection in parenting is not only unrealistic; it is exhausting. What your child truly needs is your consistent presence. The occasional oversight does not define you as a parent. What matters is what you do next. Did you offer an apology? Did you make an effort to reconnect?
Children benefit greatly from witnessing their parents model emotional honesty and resilience. Each time you return to your child with love and intention, even after a difficult moment, you are teaching them something profound about
relationships, empathy, and perseverance.
Avoid the Comparison Trap Comparison equals immense pressure. It is difficult not to compare when images of seemingly perfect family lives are constantly at our fingertips. But every child is unique. One child might be excelling academically, while another is quietly developing compassion and resilience. Both are important. Both are valid. Instead of measuring your family against others, focus on nurturing the qualities that matter most to you and your child.
The Power of Slowing Down
Choosing a slower pace in parenting is not a sign of inefficiency. When we
slow down, we become more attuned to our children’s needs and emotions. You may not cross every task off your to-do list, but you will build trust, connection, and emotional safety. And that is what truly lasts. Kindness often invites slowness. It reminds us that progress is not always visible, but it is always occurring, often in quiet, powerful ways.
One Moment at a Time
Some days will feel overwhelming, even chaotic. That does not mean you are failing. It simply means you are human. Did you offer a comforting hug today? Did you take a deep breath before responding in frustration? These moments may seem small, but they are not insignificant.
They are what shape a child’s sense of safety, belonging, and love.
Parenting is not about having all the answers or ticking off achievements. It is about showing up, learning, growing, and choosing kindness. Even on the days when energy is low and emotions are high. So if you ever find yourself wondering whether you are doing enough, remember: you are not in a race. You are in a relationship. Your child does not need a perfect parent. They need you: present, caring, and sincere. And that, truly, is more than enough.

WHAT IS EID-UL-ADHA?
The day of Eid-ul-Adha falls on the tenth day in the final (twelfth) month of the Islamic Lunar Calendar; Dhual-Hijjah. The day that celebrations fall on is dependent on a legitimate sighting of the moon, following the completion of the annual Holy Pilgrimage of Hajj - which is an obligation for all Muslim’s who fit specific criteria, one of the important Five Pillars of Islam. The celebration of Eid-ul-Adha is to commemorate Prophet Ibrahim’s devotion to Allah SWT and his readiness to sacrifice his son, Ismail. At the very point of sacrifice, Allah SWT replaced Ismail with a ram, which was to be slaughtered in place of his son. This command from Allah SWT was a test of Prophet Ibrahim’s willingness and commitment to obey his Lord’s command, without question. Therefore, Eid-ul-Adha means the festival of sacrifice.
The act of Qurbani consists of slaughtering an animal as a sacrifice to mark this occasion in remembrance of Prophet Ibrahim’s sacrifice for Allah SWT. This is also known as Udhiya. The days of animal sacrifice total three days, from the 10th to the 12th of Dhu-alHijjah.
The sacrificial animal must be a sheep, lamb, goat, cow, bull or a camel; the sheep, lamb or goat consist of one Qurbani share, whereas a bull, cow or camel consist of seven shares per animal. The animal must be in good health and over a certain age in order to be slaughtered, in a “halal” friendly, Islamic way.
The Qurbani meat can then divided into three equal portions per share; one-third is for you and your family, one-third is for friends, and the final third is to be donated to those in need.
Traditionally, the day is spent celebrating with family, friends and loved ones, often wearing new or best attire and the giving of gifts.

EID AL-ADHA: A SYMBOL OF OBEDIENCE
By Gyasi Abu Umar Mckinzie
`Eid Al-Adha is preceded by the glorious day of `Arafah and is one of the important days of Hajj. Among the main themes and messages of Hajj is submission and obedience to Allah. When we read about the remarkable stories of Prophet Ibrahim, Prophet Isma`il, and Hajar, we witness extraordinary examples of obedience and submission to Allah, which is the core meaning of Islam. Actually, submission is the very meaning of the word “Islam”. So the meaning and essence of Islam are manifested in Hajj, which reminds us of our mission and purpose in life.
`Eid Al-Adha is a symbol of obedience. It signifies submission to Allah. On this day, we commemorate together the acts of obedience and submission performed by Prophet Ibrahim and his family when he was commanded to take Hajar and their son Isma`il to an uninhabited, barren, distant land and leave them there alone. He submitted and obeyed. When Hajar realized what was happening, she cried out, “Ibrahim! Are you going to leave us in this valley where no people live?” She repeated the question yet she received no answer, so she
asked him, “Did Allah order you to do this?” He replied, “Yes.” So she said, “Then Allah will not let us perish.” Thus she submitted.
Furthermore, when his son Isma`il became older, Ibrahim received a command from his Lord to sacrifice him. He submitted and so did his son. The family of Ibrahim was a family of obedience and submission. They were tested and tried again and again, but the result was always submission and obedience.
Both `Eid Al-Adha and `Eid Al-Fitr come after performing a pillar of Islam and an act of obedience. Hence `Eid Al-Adha and `Eid Al-Fitr are annual reminders that this life is a test and we must be obedient if we wish to be successful. Once a year, Muslims of every ethnic group, social status, and culture are reminded and given the message: Surrender to Allah, submit to Allah. Are we hearing this message?
Just as Prophet Ibrahim was tested throughout his life to see if he would submit or not, so will we be tested to see whether we submit to Allah’s commands or refuse! Know that toils, struggles, and hardships will accompany our quest to obedience. But if we obey, we will be in the company of the likes
of Prophet Ibrahim and his family in Paradise, as Allah says:
[All who obey Allah and the messenger shall dwell in the company of those whom Allah has favored with His Grace: the prophets, the sincere lovers of Truth, the martyrs, and the Righteous who do good. Ah! What a beautiful companionship!] (An-Nisaa’ 4:69)
`Eid contains many wonderful messages among which is that `Eid is an external expression of the testimony of faith “Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah,” which means to follow Muhammad in his commandments, abstain from all that he has forbidden, believe in all that he has informed us of, and worship Allah with only that which he has prescribed. Allah says: [Say: Obey Allah and obey the Messenger, but if you turn away, he is only responsible for the duty placed on him and you for that placed on you. If you obey him, you shall be on the right guidance. The Messenger’s duty is only to convey (the message) in a clear way.] (AnNur 24:54)
Qurban Your Piety Their Joy
Do I have to sacrifice Qurban?
Qurban is a confirmed Sunnah and deemed obligatory upon all Muslims who are eligible. It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah ( ) said; “Whoever can afford it, but does not offer a sacrifice, let him not come near our prayer place” (Ibn Majah).
Do I have to sacrifice the Qurban myself?
No. You may delegate it to an individual or organisation to sacrifice your Qurban on your behalf.
The
Prophet ( ) said
The month of Dhul-Hijjah in the Islamic calendar is the month of sacrifice, during which worship and good deeds are amplified, particularly in the first ten days. This specific period is special, one which Allah ( ) the Almighty has sworn an oath by; “By the dawn; by the ten nights” (al-Fajr 89:1-2), and has been prescribed in the Sunnah of His Messenger ( ) many times.
Eid al-Adha – which follows the ten days and translates to ‘Festival of - Muslims around the world sacrifice a Qurban (Udhiyah); usually a goat, sheep, cow or camel. This is to reflect on the submission of Prophet ) when he was commanded by Allah SWT to sacrifice his son, ), but was rewarded for his obedience with a ram sent down to sacrifice instead.
sacrifice is one of the great rituals of Islam, a confirmed Sunnah of the Prophet ( ) upon every household. It is a noble act of charity, one which strives to provide nourishment and relief to those in need.
For over three decades, Human Appeal Australia has dedicated all available avenues and resources to provide humanitarian relief to communities in need both local and overseas. A recent surge in mass starvation due to conflict overseas has brought upon unprecedented levels of food insecurity and an urgent need for nutritional aid and relief.
How many Qurbans should I do?
Each household must commit at least ONE Qurban, preferably on Eid al-Adha as mentioned in the hadith that the Prophet ( ) said: “The greatest of days before Allah is the Day of Sacrifice” (Sahih Abu Dawud). The head of a family may offer the sacrifice on behalf of other members in the house.
Which animals are considered Qurban?
Qurban animals are usually sheep, goats, cows or camels.
“O people, it is compulsory for every household to make a sacrifice yearly”
While it’s preferable to fulfill Qurban obligations as early as possible, it must be completed by the final day of Eid al-Adha. Human Appeal Australia facilitates Qurban donations throughout all four days of Eid, ensuring you have ample opportunity to fulfill your obligation on time.
Currently, Human Appeal Australia offers this service exclusively in Gaza, Palestine. Please reach out to the Human Appeal office to provide beneficiary details, including name, contact number, city, and suburb.
Canned Qurban offers pre-cooked meat, conveniently prepared for immediate consumption. With its extended shelf life, it serves as a strategic solution for regions lacking refrigeration facilities, like refugee camps. This approach ensures that as many people as possible can benefit from and enjoy your Qurban sacrifice.
Hard Frozen Qurban is carefully prepared, cut into six pieces, individually wrapped, and shipped in separate cartons within refrigerated containers for freshness upon arrival.
In areas where feasible, livestock is procured and sacrificed locally, providing the poor and needy with fresh, locally sourced meat during Eid Al-Adha. Alternatively, in Australia and other regions, livestock is sacrificed beforehand, then distributed either canned or hard-frozen, depending on regional circumstances.
Qurban sacrificed locally in the following destinations:
Ethiopia, Kenya, India, Sri Lanka & Nepal.
Qurban sacrificed locally in the following destinations: Sudan, Bangladesh, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Azad Kashmir, Indonesia, Eritrean Refugees, Togo & Burmese Refugees.

SMART SPONGY DEVICE CAPTURES WATER FROM THIN AIR
RMIT University
Engineers from Australia and China have invented a sponge-like device that captures water from thin air and then releases it in a cup using the sun’s energy, even in low humidity where other technologies such as fog harvesting and radiative cooling have struggled.
The water-from-air device remained effective across a broad range of humidity levels (30 – 90%) and temperatures (5 – 55 degrees Celsius).
Senior researcher Dr Derek Hao, from RMIT University in Melbourne, said the invention relied on refined balsa wood’s naturally spongy structure, modified to absorb water from the atmosphere and release it on demand.
The wood-based composite developed by the team for their research fit snuggly into a cup with a dome lid and anti-pollution tray, a cooling mechanism and an activation system powered by the sun.
“Billions of people around the world lack access to drinkable water, and millions die from water-borne diseases every year,” said Hao, a materials scientist and environmental engineer in RMIT’s School of Science.
Hao was corresponding author on the study, which was done in collaboration with five Chinese research institutions, led by Dr Junfeng Hou from Zhejiang A&F University.
“Our team has invented a device comprising wood’s spongy scaffolding, lithium chloride, iron oxide nanoparticles, a carbon nanotube layer and other specialised features,” Hao said.
The team used artificial intelligence for accurate prediction and optimisation of the device’s water harvesting and discharging performance under varying environmental conditions.
Watershed moment
The spongy material, which is an early-stage lab prototype, absorbs moisture from the atmosphere when the cup’s lid is open. When the lid is closed under sunlight, water is released into the cup.
Under laboratory conditions, the water-from-air device absorbed about 2 milliliters of water per gram of material at 90% relative humidity and released nearly all the water within 10 hours under sun exposure – higher than most other known methods and at less cost. With nine sponge cubes, each weighing 0.8 grams, 15 milliliters of water can be absorbed and released into the cup.
“In outdoor tests, our device captured 2.5 milliliters of water per gram overnight and released most of it during the day, achieving a daily water collection efficiency of 94%,” Hou said.
“At 30% humidity, our device absorbed water at about 0.6 ml per gram. These results highlight its potential use in off-grid, solar-driven water harvesting systems.”
Benefits of the nature-inspired design
Hao said the use of natural wood as a matrix not only reduced costs but also provided structural integrity and enhanced water transport through its porous architecture.
“These features enable the material to be manufactured in large quantities and deployed in real-world applications such as water collection in remote or arid regions,” he said.
“The device retained its flexibility and water-absorbing function even after being stored at −20 degrees Celsius for 20 days, demonstrating excellent freeze resistance.
“Its moisture absorption–release performance was stable across 10 consecutive cycles, with less than 12% decline in efficiency.”
A GOLDEN DAWN: HOW EARLY MUSLIM LEADERS AND SCHOLARS
ILLUMINATED THE PATH TO MODERN CIVILIZATION
The bedrock of this golden age was an unparalleled commitment to knowledge. Visionary leaders championed the establishment of monumental libraries, most notably the House of Wisdom (Bayt al-Hikma) in Baghdad and the resplendent libraries of Cordoba in Al-Andalus. These were not mere archives but dynamic hubs of intellectual exchange, where scholars of various faiths and origins congregated. A monumental undertaking was the meticulous translation of Greek, Roman, and Indian scientific and philosophical texts into Arabic, rescuing invaluable knowledge from potential oblivion and providing the essential raw material for new discoveries. This fervor for preservation and dissemination directly fueled the European Renaissance, offering a vital conduit to classical wisdom that had largely faded from the West. The very concept of a centralized, comprehensive library as a cornerstone of learning owes a profound debt to these early Muslim initiatives, shaping our modern educational and research institutions.
the development of legal frameworks across the globe. The modern concept of an independent judiciary, though refined over time, finds early echoes in these Islamic legal practices.
Administratively, the vast early Muslim caliphates pioneered intricate mechanisms for governing sprawling territories. The establishment of welldefined provincial administrative units, each overseen by an appointed governor responsible for maintaining order, collecting taxes, and managing local affairs, showcased a sophisticated understanding of governance. The meticulous record-keeping and hierarchical structures employed in these administrations provided crucial models for efficient governance and significantly contributed to the development of the bureaucratic systems that underpin modern state administration.
The passage of centuries has done little to dim the brilliance of the early Islamic civilization. Across diverse fields, from the tangible realms of governance and economics to the abstract heights of science and philosophy, its leaders and scholars sowed seeds of innovation that continue to blossom in our modern world. Their contributions were not confined to a single discipline; rather, they represent a holistic flourishing of intellectual and practical advancements that laid critical foundations for the civilization we inhabit today.
This dedication to knowledge extended beyond grand libraries to the establishment of structured educational systems. Schools, mosques serving as initial learning centers, and the subsequent development of sophisticated Madrashas underscored a societal commitment to widespread education. These institutions offered a rich tapestry of subjects, encompassing religious studies, law, literature, philosophy, and the burgeoning sciences. This emphasis on organized learning, encompassing both religious and secular domains, provided a blueprint for modern educational frameworks, including structured curricula and the evolution of institutions of higher learning – the precursors to our modern universities.
The principles of governance and justice championed by early Muslim leaders also left an enduring legacy. The development of a well-defined judicial system with learned and appointed judges (Qadis) adhering to a codified legal framework (Sharia) emphasized the fundamental principle of the rule of law and the ideal of impartial justice. While rooted in religious tenets, the focus on a structured legal system and the pivotal role of legal experts profoundly influenced
Furthermore, early Islamic governance introduced groundbreaking concepts of state welfare. The religious obligation of Zakat, a systematic form of almsgiving, was rigorously collected and distributed to the poor, the orphaned, and other vulnerable members of society, establishing a foundational social safety net. The Jizya, a tax levied on nonMuslims in exchange for state protection and exemption from military service, contributed to state revenue that was also strategically allocated for public welfare initiatives. This early system of wealth redistribution and social responsibility, driven by ethical and religious imperatives, resonates deeply with the principles of equity and the well-being of all citizens that underpin modern welfare state models.
The geographical reach of the early Islamic world spurred the development of unprecedented trade routes and relations. Muslim merchants and scholars became vital conduits connecting the East and West, traversing vast land and sea routes. They facilitated the exchange not only of goods but also of ideas and technologies, playing a pivotal role in the emergence of global trade networks. The establishment of bustling trade centers, the adoption of sophisticated financial instruments like the bill of exchange (suftaja), and the development of advanced maritime trade routes were instrumental in the growth of international commerce,
Samchhul Alam
laying the groundwork for our interconnected global economy. The emphasis on fair trade practices and the security of these vital trade arteries were also significant contributions.
Early Muslim rulers demonstrated a keen understanding of the critical importance of food security. The second Caliph, Omar ibn al-Khattab, stands out for his exemplary resource management. He implemented proactive policies for the systematic collection and storage of grain during periods of abundance to ensure its availability during times of famine or scarcity. His active monitoring of markets to prevent exploitative practices like hoarding and price gouging reveals an early grasp of market regulation for the public good. Moreover, his focus on developing and maintaining vital irrigation systems aimed to boost agricultural productivity and ensure a stable food supply for the populace. These forwardthinking practices of resource management, market oversight,
and investment in agricultural infrastructure offer invaluable lessons for modern governments grappling with the complex challenges of food security and economic stability.
The intellectual landscape of this era was further enriched by the groundbreaking contributions of numerous scholars across diverse scientific disciplines.
Jabir ibn Hayyan (Geber), hailed as the father of early chemistry, revolutionized the field through systematic experimentation and the development of essential chemical processes. Al-Razi (Rhazes) made pivotal advancements in medicine, including the clinical differentiation of smallpox and measles, and contributed significantly to pharmaceutical knowledge. Ibn Sina (Avicenna)’s Canon of Medicine remained a foundational medical text for centuries, shaping medical understanding in both the East and the West. In optics, Ibn al-Haytham (Alhazen)’s revolutionary Book of Optics transformed the understanding of vision and laid the groundwork for modern optics and the
scientific method itself.
Astronomy flourished under figures like AlBattani (Albategnius), who made remarkably accurate astronomical calculations, and Abd al-Rahman al-Sufi (Azophi), who meticulously cataloged the stars. Al-Biruni made significant contributions to both astronomy and physics, even discussing the possibility of Earth’s rotation. In mathematics, Muhammad ibn Musa al-Khwarizmi laid the very foundation of algebra, introduced Hindu-Arabic numerals and the concept of zero to the West, and developed algorithms that remain fundamental to computer science today. Scholars like Al-Battani, Abu al-Wafa’ alBuzjani, and Nasir al-Din al-Tusi significantly advanced the field of trigonometry, transforming it into an independent branch of mathematics essential for navigation, surveying, and engineering.
In the realm of natural sciences, scholars like Al-Jahiz explored animal behavior and rudimentary evolutionary concepts, while Ibn al-Baitar compiled an extensive
pharmacopoeia that significantly expanded knowledge of medicinal plants.
In conclusion, the early Islamic civilization, guided by visionary leaders and illuminated by brilliant scholars, left an indelible mark on the trajectory of human progress. Their unwavering commitment to knowledge, their innovative systems of governance and welfare, their pivotal role in global trade, and their groundbreaking scientific and mathematical discoveries laid crucial foundations for the modern world. From the libraries that nurtured intellectual growth to the sophisticated administrative systems, from the principles of social responsibility to the fundamental concepts of algebra and optics, the impact of this golden age continues to resonate within our political, educational, scientific, and economic systems, reminding us of the profound intellectual debt we owe to those who illuminated the path of human.
