The ICPA Chantinq Team

The ICPA chanting team celebrates religious and national events in an atmosphere of genuine Islamic traditions and authentic culture. The team also partakes in the community by doing performances that congratulate the jubilant and commiserate the embittered.

Representative students from the Islamic Saturday Schools and Al-Amanah College supplement the team by enhancing both its chanting and its religious and national stage performances. The ICPA chanting team does not perform for financial rewards. In fact it seeks reward only from Allah the Exalted when entering the excitement and happiness into people's hearts. Notably, all these groups nourish the Muslim Community Radio with its fascinating artistic productions.

The BIRR Initiative

BIRR is the acronym for Building Identity & Resisting Radicalisation. The BIRR Initiative was established in response to the growing need for a tailored educational and mentoring service for the Muslim youth of southwest Sydney.

‘Birr’ is also the Arabic word for benevolence and virtue. Its choice as the name for this project symbolises the energy channeled towards assisting Muslim youth in discovering their religious identity in an Australian context and enhancing their capacity to build a positive Australian Muslim identity.

With leadership development being the cornerstone of the Building Identity and Resisting Radicalisation Initiative, our objective is to equip youth with the guidelines and skills - as derived from true Islamic values and virtues - necessary to resist negative influences and social disengagement, such as extremist views and criminal behaviour.
