Six Mosques in Two Provinces This book reveals the fact that the mosque indeed has a potential role in disaster. Despite only a small number of the mosque being used for the research, it at least provides a portrait of how the mosques help the survivors in facing difficult times caused by the earthquake, starting from providing food assistance, clothing, shelter to the internally-displaced people, the provision of clean water and latrines, health care to advocacy for survivors who suffered injustice in the field. This study also concluded that the potential role of mosque during emergency response has received good appreciation from the survivors in particular and from the community as a whole. Unfortunately, the potential has not yet been fully explored and that the personnel in-charge (takmir) do not know many of the standard techniques and organisations in disaster. In order to strengthen and improve the strategic role of the mosque, it is hoped that the mosque could become one of the pillars in building the resilience on disaster management in Indonesia.

Sustainable Sea Fisheries for Simeulue and Singkil There is something different in this edition of the Sustainable Sea Fisheries for Simeule and Singkil (SSFSS) Newsletter because the Aceh Ocean Coral (AOC) logo is no longer in the header on the front page. Indeed, since December 2011, AOC is no longer working as Islamic Relief’s local partner to implement the Sustainable Sea Fisheries for Simeulue and Singkil (SSFSS) program. The partnership ended as a result of discussions and a mutual decision taken by Islamic Relief and AOC. This decision has which has been agreed to by Islamic Relief (Worldwide), [ by the PMU] and by the Local Governments of both Simeulue and Singkil Districts Office http://www.islamic-relief.or.id/ Citation SSFSS (2011), SSFSS Volume V, October - December 2011, [Online] available at: http://www.islamic-relief.or.id/index.php/resources/publication/document-download-center-3

Indonesia: Three years on ‘We visited an area 15 kilometres from the shoreline; it was completely destroyed. The sea had washed away houses, it had carried vessels from the ocean and deposited them on top of buildings and bridges.’ ‘It carried tractors, coaches, all types of vehicles into the middle of rice fields; it carried dead bodies everywhere. Massive concrete structures and multi-storey buildings were reduced to rubble. Every few hundred yards there were lines of corpses in body bags.’ Dr Hany El-Banna, in Banda Aceh, Indonesia, days after the tsunami Office http://www.islamic-relief.org/ Citation Islamic Relief Worldwide [n.d], ‘Tsunami Indonesia: Three years on.', Islamic Relief Worldwide, Birmingham [Online] Available:http://www.islamic-relief.org/

  In the twelfth year of Islamic Relief’s Waqf programme, it gives me great pleasure to report on the performance of your Waqf contributions and on the life-changing support your generosity has provided. It is with the support of people such as yourself that we are able to carry out such vital work, the fruits of which can be seen in the benefit derived by the beneficiaries, who are able to gain an improved quality of life. Alhamdulillah. From our investment of the Waqf funds during the year 2011, we used the profits to fund a variety of projects in 2012: from life-saving food distribution in war torn Syria, to providing health screening for orphans & children in Sri Lanka, providing water and sanitation for conflict affected population in Sudan and implementing sustainable livelihood project in Indonesia. It is only by the Grace of Allah (SWT) through donors like you that Islamic Relief can achieve all it does in the past year for the poor, the needy and the destitute. We hope you remain involved with us in helping to revive the great Islamic tradition of Waqf and that you continue to be a supporter in our vital work.

  Over the last two decades Islamic Relief through its work in many marginal and challenging regions has come into contact, interacted with, and in some cases worked with madrasahs in tackling poverty. They represent an extremely important institution in the lives and psyche of billions of Muslims worldwide who struggle to educate their children and maintain their faith teaching and way of life. In many of the poorest countries and regions madrasah education may be the only choice as a means of education, so they represent a very important developmental institution in the lives of millions of people. This report explores the importance, relevance and challenges faced by governments, communities, families and most importantly by children frequenting these establishments. After ploughing through the findings, recommendations have been put forward to help support move towards change in providing a safe and protected environment for children in education.

  For activists and NGOs engaging in the field of development, human rights and justice, the role of religion – Islam and others – in transforming the beliefs and lived realities of people at the grassroots is often viewed as obstructive and limiting. Religion is considered from the outside, and indeed often used by believers, as a reference and framework with which to resist notions of gender equality and female emancipation. Activists, practitioners and academics have articulated many examples, especially in relation to Muslim populations, where Islam is often used as an explanation – or a justification – for violence and discrimination against women. For those working towards justice in these contexts, such simplistic and essentialised narratives are unhelpful. For progress in many contexts, reductionist assumptions such as ‘Islam is patriarchy’ or ‘Islam is emancipation’ are not helpful. Rather, a deep, nuanced and honest analysis of the diversity of Islamic interpretation and Muslim practice is necessary to fully engage and satisfy communities and practitioners both in policy and practice.
