THEATRE
OF THE MIND
Through
a most appropriate analogy from the Revelations
in the Noble Quran, parallels can be drawn
on the medium and effect of the airwaves
for broadcasting.
“By
the (winds) that scatter broadcast and
those that lift and bear away heavy weights”
(Surah
51 Ad Dhariyat Verses 1 and 2)
Just
as particles of dust, seeds, clouds and
rain have an effect on climatic changes
that benefit our physical world, so too
can the airwaves be harnessed to sweep
aside burdens of customs and superstitions
to benefit us spiritually
Whilst
television maybe the bubblegum of the
eyes, it is radio that is the theatre
of the mind.
Prior
to the liberation of South Africa in 1994,
radio was a centralized monolithical self-serving
tool of the ruling party. Today, the Government
in keeping with our enlightened constitution
has “demassified”
this medium by allowing permanent and
temporary community Radio stations to
serve the diversity of the Rainbow Nation.
Alhamdulillah!
This policy has allowed the Muslims to
establish and operate several radio stations
in the country such as the Voice of the
Cape, Radio Islam and others.
SANHA
is cognizant of their important role in
the spiritual upliftment of our Ummah
and supports their endeavours. In fact
SANHA hosts a weekly program on Radio
Islam and appears on others regularly.
SANHA has also invited the stations to
seminars, workshops and its AGM’s.
There
are unfortunately those who through irresponsible
journalism, lack of Islamic knowledge,
disrespect and a wild penchant for trying
to sensationalize issues who create fitnah
and division in the community. Doubt is
fomented by allowing maverick elements
to issue statements only for the station
then to act as the knight in shining armour
riding to the rescue. Name calling, false
charges, gate crashing presenter’s
homes etc are some of the tactics employed.
We
urge all Muslims to stand out for justice
by protesting to the guilty stations and
by reporting their actions to the appropriate
authorities if necessary.
SANHA
is committed to protecting and cherishing
good radio as one of the gifts of freedom.

The
Story of our Beginning, the Present and
the Future
Radio
Islam
Radio
Islam was amongst the first of the community
radio stations that were established in
a liberated South Africa. It is a free on
air service that broadcasts on medium wave
1548.
Its
original footprint was the greater Gauteng
area. However, with advances in satellite
technology and use of a signal decoder,
one can receive clear signals all over Southern
Africa. Also with audio streaming via their
website www.radioislam.co.za listenership
has gone global. Thousands of hits from
countries as far away as Australia, USA,
Saudi Arabia and the UK bear testimony to
this.
Radio
Islam's objectives are:
•
The promotion of Islam to all via the airwaves.
• The upliftment of humankind.
• Striving to be an authentic Islamic
voice
• Alternative news and current events
programmes
The
general program comprises of:
•
Qiraat
• Da'wah
• Halaal Consumables
• News
• Talkback Programmes
• Women Issues
• Business In Islam
•
Youth
• Children's programs
• Tafseer
• Fiqhi Matters
• Spiritual Upliftment
• Information Updates
• Political Issues
• Medical programme
Special
Mention
The
Durood Challenge
An astounding 20 million duroods received
in response to the stations Durood Challenge.
The
Women of Wonder (WOW) Tribute program
received two awards at the MTN Radio Awards
in 2010, taking the award amidst heavy competition
from the big names in the Radio Industry.
This
was followed by the Men of Real
Excellence (MORE) Tribute, highlighting
the efforts and achievements of Muslims
within the Southern African Community in
bringing about Social upliftment in their
communities. Every entrant was worthy of
the title Men of Real Excellence, and the
main objective of inspiring others to take
up the mantle of community service was achieved.
The
M.U.S.A.A.F.I.R Campaign
focused on crucial day to day aspects of
Life, the relationships between husband
and wife, father and son, mother and daughter,
and employer and employee relationship.
The eventual winner of the Musaafir Campaign,
was very emotional in the finale and touched
the hearts of all the listenership with
her struggle with cancer and how she overcame
continuous obstacles to emerge stronger,
and the prize trip for Umrah which she won.
Radio Islam Quiz was as entertaining as
ever, and the Haj Trip for two was won after
four weeks of rigorous questioning.
The
Haj broadcast entitled : “From
Lenz… to the Holy Lands”
– with the overall theme of “in
the Footsteps of Ebrahim (AS)”
transported the listeners to the Holy Lands
with Live crossovers, interviews with Hujaaj,
dua’s from Arafaat, basically every
step of the way for the Haj period. Listeners
complemented the broadcast and were spiritually
rejuvenated through the efforts of the Radio
Islam Team.
Radio Islam continues in its efforts to
bring quality programming to its listenership,
and to continue setting the benchmark for
Islamic broadcasting excellence.
Radio
Islam is an ardent supporter of issues pertaining
to the consumption of Halaal and dedicates
a weekly program to it. Catch it on Mondays
at approximately 18h30.

(Sayings
and Traditions of the Prophet Muhammad
peace be upon him)
Ibn
‘Abbaas radiyallaahu ‘anhumaa
narrated:
"Rasuulullaah
sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam answered
the call of nature. He returned and they
offered him food. They asked, “Will
you not perform wudu first?” He
replied, “When I am going to offer
Salaah, I shall perform wudu."
Comment:
Mawlaanaa Zakariiyaa Kandalwii
comments:
"It
is Mustahab to be in a state of wudu at
all times, not specifically at the time
of eating. Physical cleanliness has an
effect on spiritual cleanliness. On that
basis one should perform wudu after relieving
oneself."

Ash-Shamaail
lit-Tirmizii, Chapter on the ablution
of Rasuulullaah sallallaahu ‘alayhi
wa sallam.

Afrikaans
Afrikaans
is the third most common language in South
Africa. According to the 2001 census,
it is spoken by 13.3% of the population,
or 5 983 420 people – mainly coloured
and white South Africans. The language
has its roots in 17th century Dutch, with
influences from English, Malay, German,
Portuguese, French and some African languages.
One of the first works of written Afrikaans
was Bayaan-ud-djyn, an Islamic tract written
in Arabic script by Abu Bakr.
Afrikaans
came into its own with the growth of Afrikaner
identity, being declared an official language
– with English – of the Union
of South Africa in 1925. The language
was promoted alongside Afrikaner nationalism
after 1948 and played an important role
in minority white rule in apartheid South
Africa. The 1976 schoolchildren's uprising
was sparked by the proposed imposition
of Afrikaans in township schools.
Most
Afrikaans speakers (41.8%) live in the
Western Cape, where it is the language
of more than half of the provincial population.
It's also common in Gauteng, where 20.9%
of Afrikaans speakers live, making up
13.6% of the provincial population. Although
only 9.5% of Afrikaans speakers live in
the Northern Cape, it's the dominant language
there, spoken by 68% of the provincial
population. Afrikaans is also spoken by
9.3% of the people of the Eastern Cape,
11.9% of the Free State's population,
and 7.5% of the people of North West.
A
large portion of the Muslim population
of South Africa live in the Western Cape
where Islam was first introduced in the
17th century.

SMILE
AWHILE
In
the serious world of Halaal, we take this
moment to bring you a smile, a chuckle
or even a hearty laugh. It's therapeutic,
so pass it on:
DOCTOR!
DOCTOR! (Part 1)
There
isn’t much fun in medicine but there
is a lot of medicine in fun. Research
has shown enormous benefits from muscle
relaxation, reduction of stress hormones,
immune system enhancements and cardiac
exercise, reduction in blood pressure
and a general feeling of wellbeing when
humour is applied even to terminal patients.
1. Doctor! Doctor! What should I do? I
can’t seem to remember anything.
I think I am losing my memory.
Go
to reception right now, pay for this consultation,
bring me a receipt and I will attend to
you.
2.
Doctor! Doctor! What can you give me for
wind. I seem to have a lot of wind.
Nurse,
give this patient a kite.
3.
Doctor! Doctor! There is a ringing in
my ear. What should I do.
Don’t answer it.
4.
Doctor! Doctor! As a bachelor what is
the most lethal food that I should avoid?
No question about it, it’s
the wedding cake.
5.
Doctor! Doctor! I have hurt my arm in
several places. What should I do?
Don’t go to those places.

One

employee, boss or friend.
Giving
Just Measure
Islam
has accorded a very high status to the merchant
because of his leadership role in society in
wealth and job creation, empowerment and social
responsibility. One of the many advices of the
Noble Quran in matters of trade is, "Give
just measure and cause no loss (to others by
fraud), and weigh with scales true and upright,
and withhold not things justly due to men, nor
do evil in the land...”
(Chapter 26, Verses 181 -183)
The
Prophet Muhammad´s (Peace be upon him)
life was one of meticulous honesty and scrupulous
dealings on both a personal and business level
to the extent that even his enemies would trust
him. Hence he was known as, "the
Trustworthy" and "the
Truthful one". He also stated,
"One who deceives is not of
us." (Muslim)
Committing
fraud by falsifying information and failing
to honour an agreement is a grave sin, illegal,
unpatriotic and a crime against Islam. Any Muslim
aware of such a crime is honour bound for the
sake of Islam to remedy such malpractice.

| Q.
Is snow flake cake mix Halaal? Which
brand of cake mix is Halaal?
A
- Snowflake Cake Mixes are not approved
by SANHA. The manufacturer is unwilling
to divulge information and make
the required disclosures.
The
Golden Cloud cake mixes are certified
Halaal by SANHA.
Q.
All the products manufactured by
this company name DOFREEZE contain
the SANHA logo. On the label, it
says the products are manufactured
from the United Arab Emirates. Please
confirm. We're hoping SANHA products
come to Canada?
A
- Dofreeze is certified Halaal by
SANHA. (click
here for the full list of products
manufactured by Dofreeze).
Q.
We recently discovered that Robertsons
Vanilla Essence has ethanol listed
in the ingredients. We understand
that , in terms of chemistry, ethanol
is part of the group known as alcohols,
but are unsure what the Islamic
ruling is on it. We would like to
know if this product may be used.
Please inform?
A
- Ethyl alcohol used in flavours
as as extraction agents/ solvents
etc are condoned when found in miniscule
trace levels in end products. Such
products (Vanilla Essence etc) would
be permissible to consume. The reason
for this is that the ethyl alcohol
is not regarded as najis (impure)
like wine etc and its application
is not as an intoxicating element,
hence the Fuqaha have condoned its
presence in such instances.
There
is total evaporation of alcohol
in the baking process.

The
Hunt for Underweight Bread
The
"massive"
sale of underweight bread
has prompted nationwide checks
to determine whether bread
is being sold at the correct
weight, the National Regulator
for Compulsory Specifications
said on Tuesday.
"After
discovering the massive sale
of underweight bread, the
National Regulator for Compulsory
Specifications (NRCS) has
embarked on a countrywide
bread survey to enforce compliance
in line with the Trade Metrology
Act." Metrology
is the science of measurement.
The
results of the survey would
be announced in June 2011.
Compliance
in the Western Cape had improved.
"This can be attributed
to the inspections work of
the organisation and the legal
action that NRCS had taken
against a defaulting company
in Cape Town.
"The
company was selling bread
tremendously short of the
declared weight of 600g...
The bread packed in bags declaring
them as 600g were found on
average to weigh 429g, with
the lowest weighing a mere
398g."
Underweight
bread resulted in consumers
losing "millions
of rands".
The NRCS would take "drastic"
action against perpetrators.

THE
WALNUT
Even
prior to the birth of agriculture
nuts have been used as a source
of food and oil. It was used later
by the Greeks and cultivated by
the Romans.
An
important feature of Middle Eastern
cookery, medieval Europe learned
the use of nuts in cooking from
the Arabs who apart from meat
also used them in confectionery.
Walnut
(Juglans regia) known as English
and Persian walnut is versatile
as it can be used immature or
ripe, dried or toasted. Ripe walnuts
are eaten as a dessert nut and
are used in stuffings, confectionery,
baking, salads and vegetarian
cooking.
Not
only do they taste great but are
a rich source of heart- healthy
monounsaturated fats and an excellent
source of omega 3 fatty acids
which is not easily available.
Go
nuts, Walnuts that is.

Fighting
the flu with food
(Part 1)
Strengthen
the immune system, combat
viruses and keep the flu
away. Anshul Jaibharat,
B.Sc, PGDM tells us about
the ACE triple effect
to ward of the flu. “Vitamins
A, C and E are powerful
antioxidants that inactivate
harmful free radicals
and increase immunity
by maintaining the body’s
natural immune cells,”
she says.
Fruits
and veg
Go for veggies and fruits
such as carrots, green
leafy vegetables, tomatoes,
cherries, gooseberries,
and guava. Also load up
on broccoli, cantaloupes,
citrus fruits, pumpkin,
squash and green peppers,
which are great sources
of vitamins.
Yoghurt
Probiotics are good bacteria
found in yoghurts and
other cultured dairy products
that increase the secretion
of disease fighting immune
enzyme found in intestines.
Nuts,
beans, tofu, fish and
meats
Tuck into tofu, dried
beans and lean meats,
as well as nuts, grains
and fish to get adequate
iron and selenium. Iron
is great for strengthening
overall immunity, while
selenium helps in the
growth of immune cells.
