Hadarah
Hadarah is Arabic for civilisation.
This project is about showcasing the contribution of the Islamic civilisation to humanity in areas such as medicine, maths, science, astrology and a range of other disciplines.
The project involves young people in a journey of discovery about their Islamic heritage. The outcome of that journey will be exhibited in public space such as libraries, schools and in regional areas.
The aim is to develop among the general community, a better understanding and appreciation of the forgotten Islamic Civilisation.
This project is funded by the Multicultural Affairs Queensland and it is anticipated that the project will be launched later this year.
