Volunteers Week: Thank you to all our volunteers
As a community, we have always exemplified a tradition of voluntary service whether in a uniform or not. Whether virtually, or hand in hand, in an official capacity, or as a favour for a friend, neighbour or stranger. These are all magnificent examples of civil society and civic engagement which make a significant improvement in the quality of life of individuals, and the societies in which we live. To every single volunteer in the Jamat, the Ismaili Volunteer Corps (IVC) and Ismaili CIVIC say thank you to you all!

Mindful Monday Moments is going LIVE!
Mindfulness is paying attention, on purpose, in the present moment, non-judgmentally to the unfolding of experiences moment by moment. It is about being aware of the present moment and approaching this with curiosity and kindness. The Aga Khan Health Board would like to invite you to join us for fortnightly mindfulness sessions starting on Monday 8 June from 8:30pm to 9:00pm BST via this zoom link. The sessions will be informal at the end of the day, to help you to relax and unwind. We look forward to seeing you there!

Reflections Phone Line
Members of the Jamat who do not have access to the Internet and are unable to participate in the institutional evening programmes are encouraged to call into our weekly Reflections Phone Line, with separate programmes in English and Gujarati. This week's programme will be available from 2pm BST on Sunday 7th June, and will include:
English Programme, Dial 0333 015 1132 – an ITREB talk by Alwaez Karim Ladhu – “How do we begin to make sense of what is happening?”
Gujarati Programme, Dial 0333 015 1133 - Talk by Dr Karim Gulamali on “Seeing God in All Things”
The short programme will be available to listen to from Sunday to Saturday each week and can be accessed 24 hours a day.
Calls to 0333 numbers cost no more than a national rate call to a local 01 or 02 number. Mobile phone tariffs allow the calling of 0333 numbers in their monthly quota of telephone minutes - therefore, provided you have not used your quota of minutes for the month, you will not be charged anything extra for calling an 0333 number. Members of the Jamat are asked to share this information with other members of their family who do not have access to the Internet.

Weekly WAP Recommends
‘Invisible Women: Exposing Data Bias In A World Designed for Men’ by Caroline Criado Perez
Recommended by Dr. Shaheena Janjuha-Jivraj "Every decision impacting our lives is based on data. We’re educated to respect it, but data has flaws in its development and use: data processing has unintentionally ignored women. The impact is everywhere, from medical training to mobiles. Drawing on real-life examples opens questions around how much women have to fit into a world designed by men for men. This book will drive you to find ways to make decisions that are pluralistic and better for everyone." Buy a copy here.

ITREB Thought of the Day
Did you know, long before the Geneva Convention and Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Muslim jurists laid down a set of fundamental rights for humanity – including women’s rights and the protection of children? Islamic Law, based on the Qur’an and the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), articulates a set of protective principles of governance that hold accountable systems and instruments of law enforcement and justice. In Islam, an ethical code defines the faith itself. The sirat al-mustaqim or path of righteousness that every Muslim must walk is clearly laid out in the Prophet’s teachings. It upholds moral behaviour and good character. Above all else, the Prophet’s message charges us to uphold and to defend the sanctity and dignity of human life.
