Yahya Adel Ibrahim
He is Canadian by birth, Egyptian through ancestry, Turkish via marriage, and Australian by choice of residence and migration.
Yahya is respected for his dedication to promoting multiculturalism and the principles of social cohesion and cross-cultural dialogue to community groups. His initiatives, in Australia, include diversity training, cultural sensitivity programs, educational lectures and media presentations. His expertise is sought by schools, universities and a wide range of government & non-government organisations.
Yahya has Eastern ancestry, was born and educated in a Western country, and now lives with his wife Songul and their three children in a proudly multicultural Western society. His religious training began in Toronto wherein he committed the Quran to memory & studied Fiqh/Jurisprudence upon the principles of Imam Shafi’ee’s Madh-haab. Over the years, beginning 1993, Yahya has continued to further his study of Islam by meeting, translating and travelling to scholars in Egypt & Hijaz & South East Asia. Throughout that time he has received Tazkiyah and Ijazah to instruct in a variety of Islamic disciplines – Hadith, Fiqh and Quranic sciences, Alhamdulillah.
Although, Imam Yahya is known for his spiritually uplifting discussions and addressing topics of Quranic exegesis, Sunnah and tradition and juristic limitations, he is passionate also presenting on non-conventional topics including domestic violence, misogyny, gender discrimination, child protection, respectful relationships, disability and mental health.
A message of anti-militancy, religious tolerance, multiculturalism and moral universality are constant themes that he stresses.
Reflecting his dedication to these goals, Imam Yahya was awarded the West Australian Multicultural Community Service Award for Individual Excellence in 2013. He has been profiled in the Australian Government’s initiative, ‘Sharing our achievements: Mosaic of Nations’. He was also a selected facilitator for the federal government’s Muslim Community Reference Group for the Conference of Australian Imams.
Shepherd of Flora and Fauna
Join me this Sunday in Melbourne as I and Rabbi Jonathon Karen Black speak about the Environment and the Importance of its Protection. http://www.mercymissionworld.org/australia/shepherd-of-flora-and-fauna/ Shepherd of Flora and Fauna is a multi-faith event promoting an understanding of different faiths. Through discussions of the various religious beliefs regarding the environment and animal rights, this event aims to promote respectful relationships between the different faiths, and an understanding of each others similarities and differences. This event is hosted by Zamzam Green Environment Sustainability Project in partnership with JCMA, and Green Faith Australia. Shepherd of Flora and Fauna aims to provide an opportunity for members of different faith groups to network, as well as an opportunity for Muslims to engage with the broader community and vice versa. Speaking on the issues of the environment and animal rights, Islamic teacher Yahya Ibrahim will shed light on Islam’s deep respect for God’s creation.

Attendees will be treated to hearing from Rabbi Jonathon Karen Black on the Jewish perspective on the above issues of faith, belief and the environment and creation.

TWINS OF FAITH - MALAYSIA
http://my.twinsoffaith.com/ Our Story The name: Twins of Faith Why this name? The two Twins of Faith are knowledge and action. The concept of Twins of Faith has an underlying intent to get people active & to seek knowledge. Our goal is to educate and mobilize all people towards positive social activism. The combination of knowledge and action is what separates this ummah from the previous ones; we find mention in the Quran of those nations who had knowledge but did not act upon it and those that acted without knowledge. Our slogan: Inspiring positive change. This has 3 important elements: Inspiring: Inspiring through knowledge, through awareness of the prophet’s vision, through conversation and engagement. Positive: The type of inspiration will be positive. It will only lead to good things, positive things, positive for everyone – Muslim or non-Muslim. Change: Change has different facets to it: change in personal lives; in communal settings. Change is a progression since positive precedes it. We aim for change and progression in the areas of knowledge, awareness, activism, piety, etc. Our Logo: The intertwined symbols of knowledge and action In our logo, the two arabic words for knowledge and action–’ilm and ‘amal –come together and intertwine. In the arabic language, similarity in letters shows the relationship between different words. These two words, in arabic, are comprised of the same three letters ayn, laam and meem just with a slight change in order from one to the other. ‘ilm–knowledge– is spelt ’ayn , laam , meem and ‘amal–action–is spelt ‘ayn, meem, laam. Our logo, therefore, is the symbolic representation of our purpose: bringing together knowledge and action to create positive change.

BEING ME | WOMAN ONLY CONFERENCE
http://being-me.org/ A muslimah, a daughter, a daaiyah (caller to the deen of Allah), a sister, a career woman, a wife, an ‘alimah/scholar, a mother, a leader all have one common denominator… ME. Muslimahs (Muslimaat) such as our mothers (Ummahatul Mu’minoon) who are the greatest role models Allah blessed this nation with, our many great female scholars who were an essential entity to the spread of this deen and many Muslim women from around the world who are actively responsible for the positive growth and improvement of their communities are hardly known in any form of Islamic or Non-Islamic media, in educational and social sectors of our society and even admired in our personal lives. Why don’t we hear about them? Why don’t they make the front pages of media? Why is our youth unaware of these leaders? Why aren’t these leaders the highlights of today’s Muslim world? Who are the role models for our daughters, sisters and mothers? Let us shed light on these great leaders, let us bring recognition to their great achievements that inspire us and many more, let us prove that the same leadership and zeal to please Allah and benefit mankind exists in our hearts and our actions.
