No surprises at SUPKEM polls as top

ocials retain seats

There were no surprises witnessed at the Supreme Council of Kenya

Muslims (SUPKEM) elections held on Wednesday. Most of the top
ofcials of the council fought hard and retained their seats in the polls
held at the Kasarani stadium.
Long serving chairman Prof. Abdulghafur El-Busaidy was re-elected
unopposed as were the secretary general Adan Wachu, organizing secretary Sharrif Hussein Omar and director general Abdullatif
Shaban.
Others who retained their seats were all provincial chairmen except
those representing Nairobi, Central and Coast provinces. In Nairobi,
Hussein Aden, the Nairobi district secretary was elected to replace
Yusuf Murigu who stepped down as the provincial chairman. Central
province saw Muhammad Omar Maluki being ejected and his place
taken by Ali Yusuf Ngotho while in Coast, Munir Mazrui lost his seat
to SUPKEM Mombasa branch chairman Juma Ngao.
Former Constitution of Kenya Review (CKRC) commissioner Ibrahim
Lethome who had been nominated for the post of secretary general
also stepped down after reportedly being persuaded several times
leaving Adan Wachu to be elected unopposed.
The provincial chairmen are Abdallah Kamwana Eastern, Abdallah Kiptanui representing Rift Valley, Ibrahim Chemaswet Western and Saad Khairallah for Nyanza. In North Eastern, disputes
emerged when delegates realised they were not being represented

Mombasa charity to set up Orphanages

In a bid to cater for the increasing number of orphans in Coast province, a Mombasa based charity will open two new orphanages to
give hope to the needy children.
The centers will be opened in Mombasa and Kili districts by the
Kenya Muslims Yatima Foundation (KMYF). This is in addition to the
Darul Aitam Orphanage run by the Foundation in Bamburi.
The KMYF chairman Sheikh Twaha Omar Jaab said the orphanages
will be set up at Utange in Mombasa to cater for 50 girls from two to
13 years and another at Kanamai in Kili District for 50 boys of the
same age group.
We have received help from well wishers to start new orphan centers and we hope more would come forward so that we manage to
take all orphans and nish the problem completely, he said.
M.A Bayusuf and Sons was among companies and individuals who
made contribution for the establishment of the orphanages.
Sheikh Jaab asked the government to support societies interested
in taking care of orphans for them to be able to help the needy and
deserved children.
Looking after orphans, he said, was in line with the teachings of Islam which requires Muslims to ensure that orphans live decent and
happy lives.

Israeli barbarity comes to town -Editorial

It was a scene reminiscent of the terror which Palestinians and Iraqis
are going through in their countries under Israeli and American occupation respectively. In an occurrence which was until last week only
seen on television screens, heavily armed security ofcials raided
a residential neighbourhood in Mombasas Guraya area, ring in
the air, breaking doors and tear gassing in the dead of the night.
The victims, who included children and octogenarians were dragged
from their sleep, taken outside and with guns aimed at them, forced
to stand for two hours outside during a heavy rainstorm while their
homes were being searched and turned upside down ostensibly to
look for terrorists. Valuable properties which included jewelry, mobile phones and money were stolen by the raiders. Eleven people
were arrested which the police buoyantly announced that they were
dangerous terrorists. Strangely, the dangerous terrorists were released a day after without being a told on the reason for which led to
their illegal detention.
This was Bushs terror war which Kenya has readily adopted notwithstanding the fact that it goes against established human rights
doctrines.
Adding insult to injury, the deputy Provincial Police Ofcer came out
to defend the operation claiming that they were protecting the fundamental rights of the people from criminals. As expected, he could
not be able to point out the alleged criminals as none of the terrorists
who were ostensibly targeted were found nor even had any link about
their whereabouts.
Though this was not the rst time that the raid took place, it was by far
the most ruthless by the dreaded Anti-Terrorist Police Unit (ATPU).
The several from none other than the head of state President Mwai
Kibaki that Muslims should have no reason to fear as the rule of law
will be respected have proved to be empty rhetoric.
In their own country, Muslims have, since President Kibaki attained
the reigns of power, almost ve years ago endured a life of fear and
terror not witnessed in post-independence Kenya. From the fouryear old Hafswa Saleh to the now 85 year old Said Mohammed, they
have all had terric ordeals to relate in a campaign which the government has at all times been prepared to justify.
Signicantly, the Guraya raid took place at a time when Internal security minister John Michuki was in the United States to plot new
grounds with US counter-terrorism ofcials to nd an avenue to enact
the Terrorism Bill. This is the same law though rejected by Parliament
has been used to torment the Muslim population. Perhaps, the raid
led by ATPU boss Nicholas Kamwende was a gesture to the Americans that nothing will stand in the way of the government to implement the dreaded legislation.
These actions have made Muslims believe that the government does
not care about their rights. In this election year when oppressing a
particular community might be a case of political suicide during election time, we expected that somehow the Kibaki administration will
positively reach out to the community but going by the events witnessed since the beginning of the year, the situation has regretfully
turned out to be tragedy for the community. George Bush, the much
loathed gure among Muslims worldwide, during his re-election campaign made great efforts to reached out to Muslims in his country
knowing well that though they were a small minority, their votes were
signicantly important. Our President, regretfully, has failed barely
eight months to the ballot box, to realize the signicance of the Muslim voters who dominate in two provinces.
At no time have Muslims felt so insecure in their own country that the
Kibaki era. Our scholars who command great respect in the community have not been spared either. Only a few months, one of the
top scholars attached to Majlis Ulamaa Kenya, the national council
of Muslim scholars, in a chilling episode was surrounded by heavily
armed policemen aiming their dangerous weapons at him. Reason:
he was a suspected terrorist. Imagine the uproar such an incident
could have ignited if the victim happened to be a top cleric from the
Catholic, Anglican or evangelical churches. But being a Muslim, the
government did not even nd it prudence to issue an explanation.
Deportation now seems to be the weapon against those the State
fails to nd ground for terrorism. It does not matter whether you are
a Kenyan or not. You can nd yourself dumped in another country
when the government decides to make you stateless.
Kenya is now in the middle of tribal clashes which have claimed more
than a hundreds of people in Mt Elgon, Nairobi and Tana River. While
a heavy handed approach is being meted out on Muslims who are

turning out to be innocent, gangs who have brought terror and mayhem to the population are instead being handled with a kids glove
approach. Just recently defence minister Njenga Karume was calling
for dialogue with the outlawed Mungiki sect, an outt blamed for a
carnage which has resulted in hundreds of death.
The latest raid has however, come with some glimmer of hope. For the
rst time we have seen people such as Juma Ngao coming up for the
rst time to condemn the governments barbaric act. It is our hope that
Ngao and those who have been at the forefront in praising the government notwithstanding its persecution of Muslims, will now stand rm
in speaking out against the harassment and vigorously defending the
rights of the suppressed population.
As we have always reiterated, nothing should stop us for agitating for
our rights. But at the same time we should continue to exhibit patience
from engaging in any act which may further give the government a
justication to carry out the heavy handed approach and get support
for the Terror Bill.
Alhamdulillah we have for the past four and so-years exhibited a high
degree of patience and we should continue with this noble approach
after all Allah stated that with difcult comes ease.

Turks wage battle for Hijab

The men and women stand separately but their chant is the same:
Long live the ght for the headscarf!
The women at this protest in Istanbuls old quarter want to wear
their headscarves in school, university and parliament, but Muslim
Turkeys secular system forbids that, with laws pious Muslims see
as a breach of their personal and religious freedom.
The Islamic-rooted ruling AK Party says it wants to lift the ban, a
key demand of its grass-root supporters, but has faced erce opposition from Turkeys powerful secular elite.
However, the issue is now back on the agenda as Prime Minister
Tayyip Erdogan considers running for president in an election next
month. That would put a scarf-wearing rst lady into the presidential palace in Ankara for the rst time.
Such an outcome would shock the secular elite, but not the 60
percent of Turkish women who cover up, nor the 59 per cent of
Turks who according to a survey by think-tank TESEV think Muslim
women must cover their heads.
Ayse Nur Bulut, 20, is one of them: she left university because she
could not wear a headscarf to class. I cried a lot, I thought a lot, I
talked to everybody about it and in the end I decided this, she told
Reuters. Its an identity problem ... and its a religious command.
Thousands of women have made the same decision since a ban
previously applied only sporadically was enforced in 1997 after the
army ousted a government it deemed too Islamist. (Reuters)

No surprises at SUPKEM polls as top

ocials retain seats
they announced that they will be dissolving all their district councils
and terminate the representations of their province from SUPKEM.
Among the new faces are Hussein Gitonga, the Embu district chairman who has who was elected as the deputy secretary general.
Signicantly, those who failed to get posts were deemed to be in
a camp seen to champion reforms in the SUPKEM leadership.
Though it was anticipated to be a stormy affair, the elections were
largely a peaceful affair at the Kasarani stadium. However as in previous elections, they were complaints of bonade delegates being
locked out and their places taken by non-SUPKEM ofcials.
Omar Muhammad, a delegate from Nairobi told The Friday Bulletin
that he was locked out of the polls and his place given to an outsider.
Thika district which was among several areas where the district elections aborted, and thus was not supposed to have representatives
at the elections, was surprisingly represented by a team led by Abu
Nurein, the former district chairman. Sheikh Lethome noted that in
future the electoral process should be composed of an independent
body of members from other Islamic organizations to be deemed fair
by all, sentiments also shared by Abdallah Ndope from Thika district.

Islamic Banking

This is the continuation of the series on Islamic Banking By Abdullatif Essajee, a lecturer at University of Nairobi and a member of the Jamia Mosque Commitee-Nairobi
Islamic Banking Musharaka (Prot and Loss Sharing System)
The word Musharaka takes its name from the Arabic work shiraka
which means partnership and it is that relationship which subsists between two or more persons carrying on a business in common with a
view of prot to be divided between themselves in pre-agreed proportions. It is formed by an agreement whereby the partners agree to carry
on a particular type of business together with a view to making prots.
This partnership is normally of limited duration, formed to carry out
a specic project. It is therefore similar to a joint venture. The share
of each one of the partners should be stated in terms of percentage
or ratio or fraction of anticipated prots and not as an absolute xed
amount. Such stipulation or pre-xing of a certain sum as prots for any
partner will invalidate the contract.
The share of each one of the partners may or may not be determined
on pro-rata basis to the capital contributed by each partner. However, the agreement should earmark a certain portion of the prots for
the active partner in excess of the actual percentage due to him as a
compensation for his entrepreneurship and management. This portion
should be deducted from the prots prior to distribution.
Losses resulting from normal business conditions should be borne by
the partners on pro-rata basis according to each partners contribution
in the capital. The active partner will, however, bear responsibility for
any loss should this be the result of his negligence or willful act or
breach of the Musharaka agreement.
Operations carried according to this mode may vary from weeks to
years and can be classied under two headings:
a)
Self-liquidating Musharaka
This is a self-liquidating form of participation whereby the bank would,
in addition to its share of prots, be retrieving from the other partner
certain agreed sums until the banks share of the capital is fully repaid
and ownership of the project passes over to the other party. It is usually
applicable in medium to long-term operations and projects.
b)
Permanent Musharaka
In this kind of Musharaka, the bank participates in the project permanently until liquidation of the same or until, by agreement, the bank
sells its share in the project to the other partner or to any other party.
The Interest-free Banks through these methods of nance (Mudharaba
and Musharaka) play the role of a real partner.
The other category of methods of nance, as stated earlier, are the
trade nance or trade related methods.
These include:
Murabaha (Mark-up Sale)
This method is extensively used by Interest-free Banks to nance the
trade needs of its customers.
It consists of two distinct transactions, purchase and sale, where the
bank adds an agreed amount of mark up as prot over the cost of the
purchase transaction to the sale transaction. This margin is charged
only once at the time of selling the goods to the customer and is not
variable or subject to increase again in the future even if the customer
delays in repayment or fails to repay. The mark-up principle is justied
on the basis of a generally accepted axiom that time may be valued
provided it is incorporated in an actual sale transaction.
The Murabaha method is widely used by Interest-free Banks to nance
international trade and the importation of goods under letters of credit.
Musawama (Bargain Sale)
This method is used where the customer and the supplier of a product are stationed in the same locality. Its difference with the Murabaha
(Mark-up sale) is that a lump sum sale price of the goods would be
agreed upon after bargaining between the bank and customer irrespective of the original cost price of the goods and/or the prot.
Sallam
This is a post-delivery or forward transaction similar to a future or a
forward-purchase contract. In this arrangement, banks purchase in
advance goods from the owners of productive units who undertake to
deliver the goods at a future date. Through this system the bank would
afford the necessary funds required to meet the working capital needs
of owners of the productive sector of the economy. It is particularly ap-

plicable to seasonal agricultural purchases, but it can also be used to

buy other goods in cases where the seller needs working capital before
he can deliver. The necessary conditions that need to be met are that
the quantity and quality of the commodity, delivery date and the price
should be specied.
Muzaraa (Farming Finance)
Muzaraa is derived from the Arabic work Ziraa which means farming. This form of nance is largely practised by the Interest-free Banks,
which operate in agricultural countries notably those in Iran and Sudan.
Under such contracts, the banks provide agricultural lands that they
own or that are in their possession as a trust to farmers for a specied
period. The underlying concept of a Muzaraa contract is that the land
provided is a xed asset put to the use of the farmer who should share
the fruits of its harvest with the bank.
Ijara (Leasing)
Leasing as practiced by Interest-free Banks is quite similar to its conventional practice. Under such arrangements, the bank purchases
goods and then leases the same to its clients for specied rentals for
a xed period of time. Payments may be made by the client monthly or
quarterly and the bank will normally x rentals which cover all or most of
the original purchase price of the item over the period of the contract.
At the end of the lease period, the bank may either sell the item of
equipment concerned in the market, rent it to another client for a sum
usually less than that agreed for the rst contract, or else sell the item to
the original client. If the eventual sale to the original client was agreed at
the time the initial contract was made, then the contract can be said to
incorporate both Ijara and Murabaha elements. In this case, the rental
premiums may be smaller. This type of mixed contract is quite popular
in leasing transactions undertaken by many Interest-free Banks.
Ijara-Bil-Bei (Lease Purchase Financing)
This is an extended version of leasing method discussed above. In addition to the regular lease rentals, the client undertakes to deposit additional agreed amounts of capital payments over a denite time period
into a savings account held in the bank. The bank shall then invest
these additional capital amounts and prots generated thereof shall further be credited to the account until such time when an agreed value for
the equipment is reached and ownership is transferred to the client.
Provision of Contemporary Banking Services.
Besides offering alternative forms of nancial inter-mediation, Interestfree Banks also offer comprehensively and competitively all those services expected of any contemporary bank.
These services are fee-paid retail services that in general do not involve interest payments. They include, checking accounts, spot foreign
exchange transactions, fund transfers, travellers cheques, safe deposit
boxes, securities safe-keeping, investment management and advice
services, trust services, property management, execution of wills and
testaments and income tax consultancy.

Terror raid desecrated Muslims, leaders say

an avid supporter of the government condemned the terror operation and said
he would reconsider plans to support the government if it failed to apologize to
Muslims. He also took a swipe at Muslim MPs whom he said had kept silence
while fellow Muslims were being persecuted by the government.
The leaders dismissed a police statement which justied the raid and demanded the Government to apologies to the affected families and compensate
them for personal property taken by the police.
The operation was carried out as the minister of internal security John Michuki
was in Washington meeting with CIA and State Department ofcials. Top on
his agenda were discussion centered on nding ways to have the Terrorism Bill
enacted. The Bill has received widespread condemnation from Muslim and human rights groups who have stressed that it outs established laws. The terror
police itself has been accused of operating under the draconian law.
While the police initially claimed that the Imam knew the whereabouts of two
people wanted for the bombing of American targets in the country, they have
now changed tune claiming that he was in the country illegally after his work
permit expired. While in custody, Sheikh Dor said that the police unsuccessfully tried to force the Imam to confess that he knew the whereabouts of the
wanted men.
Ngao wondered why the issue of an expired work permit or a passport should
be handled by heavily armed policemen from General Service Unit, the AntiTerrorist Police Unit and the Flying Squad.
The Guraya area was on Tuesday last week a seen reminiscent of a battle
zone. More than 50 heavily armed policemen in seven vehicles raided the area
at 2.am and sealed off all entry and exit points. Watchmen guarding surrounding buildings and several people in the vicinity were rounded up and locked
up. Three houses were targeted, one of which was for the Imam of Kwa Shibu
masjid.
Like marauding gunmen, police ofcers shot several times in the air, broke
down doors and went on to drag occupants who included children from their
beds. Tear gas was also lobbed in the rooms to ensure that all the houses were
emptied. Residents were forced outside under heavy rainfall while security ofcials ransacked the houses.
We asked them what they wanted and who they were but they did not answer. We were all ordered to lie down and never to raise our heads, said Mrs
Mariam Salim, wife of 80-year-old Mr Said Abeid.
It was raining. We asked them to spare the children, but they could not listen.
All of us were taken outside and forced to lie down for more than 45 minutes
as they ransacked our houses, Fatma Said another victim said.
A village elder, Mr Swaleh Faraj was arrested after he switched on the lights
and, like a good neighbour came out to nd out what was happening.
After failing to nd the alleged terrorists, the police ofcers turned their attention to valuables taking away jewelry, mobile phones, money and other items.
Eleven people who included a 14-year-old student were later bundled into police land rovers and taken for detention. Apart from the Imam, they were all
released without a word on what wrong they had done and why they were
arrested in the rst place.
On Wednesday, lawyer Abdallah Mazrui made an application in the high court
calling for Sheikh Ibrahims release. The court ruled that the police produce
him in court on May 7 if he may not have been released.

UNDERSTANDING THE CONCEPT OF HALAL

Halal is an Arabic term meaning permissible or lawful. In the English language it often refers to food that is permissible or lawful
under the Islamic dietary law. In Arabic language it refers to anything that is permissible or lawful under Islam. Prophet Muhammad (saw) is reported to have said: There will come a time upon
my Ummah when people will not be concerned about what they
consume. It will not matter to them whether it is Haram or Halal.
When such a time appears none of their Duas will be accepted.
(Al Bukhari)
We all know that Islam is more than just a way of believing and
praying, it is a way of life. Food is the fuel our minds and bodies
need in order to function. As Muslims our primary function is to
worship Allah (SWT). If we are eating pork, consuming alcohol or
not establishing what we are eating is halal or haram, how can our
bodies and minds then be devoted to purity.
As far as food is concerned, the Quran is very clear on what is halal and haram. Basically all food is halal except for the following:
Meat from swine (pork, ham etc)
Pork based products and by products sausages, gelatine etc
Animals improperly slaughtered or already dead before slaughter
Animals killed in the name of anyone other than Allah (SWT)
Blood and blood by products
Intoxicants
Foods contaminated with any of the above products
The way of slaughtering an animal to make its meat permissible
has also been explained in greater details in the Hadith of the
Holy Prophet (saw). It is called Dhabiha in Arabic. Dhabiha is
performed by rst reciting Bismillah hirahmaanir Raheem or Bismillah Allahu Akbar three times and then cutting in vital organs in
the region between throat, head and breast bone of the animal.
The four vital organs that are cut are wind pipe, the gullet and the
two jugular veins. It is very important to note that the knife should
not touch the spinal cord. This means that the head of the animal
should not be cut off or the neck broken during slaughter.
Efforts to create an organization in Kenya specically to certify
food products and non-food products as halal for consumption
and use by the Muslim Ummah of Kenya has been ongoing for a
while. There is also a growing trend of Muslims eating out in restaurants where the Ummah is not sure of the halal status.
Keeping all this in mind, Kenya Bureau of Halal Certication Trust
was recently established in Kenya courtesy of the Ummah Foundation. The organization is committed to the cause of Islam and
promises to provide a professional and excellent service in supervising, monitoring and promoting halal in accordance with the
Shariah InshaAllah, and thereby ensuring that Muslims consume
what is only lawful (halal) and good (tayyib). They are and will
always be fully guided by the Shariah under the stringent supervision and advice of Majlis Ulama of Kenya who have agreed to
share their knowledge, experiences and skills with the trust. They
will also work very closely with the South African National Halal
Authority and Muslim Association of Malawi- Halal Department.
Both these organizations have been involved in halal certication
for a considerable period of time and will therefore be very benecial for their advice and guidance.
Kenya Bureau of Halal Certication has also received blessings
and recognition from the Director of veterinary Services Ministry
of Livestock and Fisheries for the successful implementation of
programme.
In conclusion there is much to learn about halal and haram as well
as why the Islamic method is the healthiest choice and also the
most desirable for all mankind. By making informed and educated
decisions, we can, InshaAllah, protect the health of ourselves and
our families. We therefore request the Muslim Ummah to pray for
the success of this noble effort.
