Presentations: Hajj & Islamic Finance
Administrator on October 26th, 2009
Hajj is the fifth pillar of Islam. It is obligatory to visit the House of Allah, Kaba al- muazzama, in the sacred mosque of Masajid-i-Haram in Saudia Arabia, once in a lifetime provided a Muslim can physically and financially afford to undertake the journey. It is a spiritual journey of a lifetime. Millions of Muslims, men and women, old and young from the four corners of the earth, make the pilgrimage to Makkah every year. In carrying out this obligation, they have only on purpose in mind – to seek the pleasure of the Lord of the Heaven and the Earth, Allah.
There are many Muslims who are undertaking this journey from Leeds this year. Insha’Allah, a Jalsa is being held to prepare people for this life-time journey. A short-course will follow the Hajj presentation given at the monthly gathering.
As part of this monthly gathering (Jalsa), a presentation on Islam Finance will also be given. This presentation will be jointly delivered by Islamic Finance Education Council, Salaam Insurance, HSBC Amanah Finance, Islamic Bank of Britain, Ummah, Mihe, Abacus and others. This presentation will explain the difference between Islamic Finance and Conventional Finance. The experts will also explain the difference between conventional products and the alternative Shariah-compliant products in the marketplace. Q&A opportunity will be provided in the end.
As part of the Finance presentation, information about Islamic Wills and their significance shall be highlighted.
