2007 Riyaadah Games - Atlanta
Al hamdulillah (All the Praise is to Allah) ! It is time to prepare for the annual Riyaadah. The Riyaadah ( Arabic for sport) is an annual event that has been facilitated by the National Community under the leadership of Imam Jamil Al-Amin for he past 25 years, ever since the formation of the National Community out of the Dar ul-Islam Movement. This year’s historic event spotlights athletic, educational, and cultural activities for Muslims who will come from all corners of North America, Insha’Allah(if Allah wills it). The Riyaadah has been held in various cities (New York, Cleveland, Philadelphia, Greensboro, Norfolk, Detroit, and Flint) over the past three decades. This Twenty-Fifth Riyaadah will be held in Atlanta, Georgia, on the campus of the historic Morris Brown College, Insha’Allah.
The Riyaadah will begin on Friday, July 20, 2007, with the congregational Jummah Prayer at the Community Masjid of Atlanta, at 1:45 p.m., Insha’Allah. The Community Masjid, located at 547 West End Place in the historic West End community, has been led by Imam Jamil Al-Amin for nearly three decades. During the afternoon, we will rally in support of the imprisoned Imam Jamil, and later that evening, we plan a concert that will serve the cultural tastes of the young Muslim attendees, Insha’Allah. The activities for Saturday, July 21, 2007, will be highlighted by a mixture of educational sessions featuring well-known Imams and scholars and a host of athletic events for men, women, and youth, Insha’Allah. Throughout the day you will be able to shop and browse in the Suq (marketplace) and find those hard-to-get items, Insha’Allah. Saturday evening will offer the traditional Riyaadah banquet featuring an exquisite halal menu and recognition of outstanding national and local attendees, Insha’Allah. On Sunday July 22, 2007, Insha’Allah, we will enjoy the sports finals and championship events, and the Riyaadah will culminate with a city-wide picnic in the West End Park. We invite you to help us celebrate this momentous event by coming to Atlanta for knowledge, competition, and fellowship, Insha’Allah.

CAIR Backs Anti Terror Fatwa
CAIR North Georgia has endorsed the fatwa, or Islamic religious ruling, against terrorism and extremism issued by the Fiqh Council of North America (FCNA). The fatwa has been endorsed by more than 120 Islamic Organizations across the country. The fatwa, released during a news conference at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C., states in part:
"Islam strictly condemns religious extremism and the use of violence against innocent lives. There is no justification in Islam for extremism or terrorism. Targeting civilians' life and property through suicide bombings or any other method of attack is haram – or forbidden - and those who commit these barbaric acts are criminals, not martyrs ... In the light of the teachings of the Qur’an and Sunnah we clearly and strongly state: 1. All acts of terrorism targeting civilians are haram (forbidden) in Islam. 2. It is haram for a Muslim to cooperate with any individual or group that is involved in any act of terrorism or violence. 3. It is the civic and religious duty of Muslims to cooperate with law enforcement authorities to protect the lives of all civilians. We issue this fatwa following the guidance of our scripture, the Qur’an, and the teachings of our Prophet Muhammad – peace be upon him."
