Sheikh Abu Ayman

Born in Amman, Jordan on the 13th of June 1957, Sheikh Mohammad Jamal Omran Al-Qurayshi Al-Hashimi, descendant of the family of our beloved Rasulullah (SAW), had the love of preaching Islam in his blood. Both his father and grandfather were fluent in the Qur'an.

He is a graduate of the Islamic University of Madinah and has studied with some of the biggest scholars of our time including Sheikh al-Albaanee, Sheikh Mukhtar Shanqeetee and Sheikh ibn Baz (may Allah shower mercy on them) just to name a few.

PRE-RAMADAN ACTIVITIES

As preparation for Ramadan, the brothers and sisters of Al-Furqan Islamic Information Centre are putting a lot of time and effort into renovations. The prayer area, bookstore and coffee lounge already look fantastic but hopefully just in time for the Blessed Month the place will look even better, so all who come can feel even more relaxed and enjoy the spiritual Ramadan experience in Australia.

Anyone interested in donating money or their services to the Centre, please contact us on (03) 9548 1770 or drop into the Centre during one of the scheduled prayer times.

Allah says (interpretation of the meaning), “The mosques of Allah shall be maintained only by those who believe in Allah and the Last Day; perform As-Salaah (Iqaamat-as-Salaah), and give Zakah and fear none but Allah. It is they who are on true guidance” [al-Tawbah 9:18]

Ibn Majaah narrated from Jaabir ibn Abdullah that the Messenger of Allah (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “Whoever builds a mosque for the sake of Allah, like a sparrow’s nest or even smaller, Allah will build for him a house in Paradise.”
