Dear FIMA members
Assalamu Alaykum
Bismillah al-Rahman al-Rahim
Praise be to Allah the Most Merciful, the Most Beneficent. May Allah shower His blessings and
peace on His Prophet and Messenger Muhammad (PBUH).
I begin by thanking the FIMA Executive Committee for honoring me with the responsibility to be
the Editor-in Chief again for this yearbook. I thank Allah (SWT) for giving me this opportunity and
enabling me to accomplish this task. I pray to Allah (SWT) to accept my effort in His way and to
reward all who participated in this effort.
The FIMA Executive Council concurred that the theme of this yearbook be Relief Work because
such an endeavor had been a significant aspect of FIMA’s accomplishments throughout the last two
decades. In this yearbook there are several articles each addressing one aspect of the multiple
programs and activities of FIMA in the field of relief.. The yearbook is thus more voluminous.
Instead of decreasing the number of or the length of the articles , the Editorial Board decided to
have this yearbook cover both 2010 and 2011
