About Ramadan Awareness Campaign |
The Ramadan Awareness Campaign (RAC) is an annual event supported by many community volunteers eager to embrace the ambience of the sacred month through their involvement. Each year poses a new challenge as we endeavour to identify themes and activities to accentuate elements of Islam that are critical to Mankind in their respective ways.
As the Islamic community in Australia grows we are mindful of their communal needs hence a National campaign will be a strategy RAC will embody in the future.
The objectives of RAC are as follows:
- Provide education and motivation to Muslims regarding Ramadan and Islamic essentials to Australian and International communities.
- Ignite mankind’s devotion towards Allah (God) The Creator and his Message.
- Promote The Way (Sunnah) of the Prophet Muhummad (Peace Be Upon Him) and its application to the modern lifestyle.
- Exemplify the unique morality and disciplined character of Islam.
- Establish a platform whereby non-Muslims may source information about the Pillars of Islam, in particular Ramadan and its significance to Muslims.
- Provide a general insight into Islam and reduce misconceptions.
The Ramadan Awareness Campaign (RAC) reaches the following institutions during past and present campaigns in Australia:
- Government based schools through presentations and distributable material in NSW
- A variety of private schools in NSW
- University campuses Nationally
- Mosques in Queensland, Victoria and NSW
- Many Islamic organizations in Queensland, Victoria and NSW
