| Finding Common Ground: Helping Resolve Disputes with Dignity |
When Zarah and her spouse separated, civil discussions quickly turned into costly legal battles. When Karima and her brother had a serious disagreement relating to their aging mother, family unity was at risk. When Amir and his business partner clashed over the company's future, a decade-long partnership hung in the balance. This week as we mark Conflict Resolution Day, it's worth remembering that conflict doesn't have to lead to crisis. Whether it's a family estate dispute, a separation, or a disagreement with a business partner, the Conciliation and Arbitration Board (CAB) helps Jamati members navigate difficult moments with empathy and integrity. Established under Imamat guidance, CAB offers a cost-effective, confidential alternative to litigation. Trained and accredited volunteer mediators guide individuals and families toward mutually agreeable solutions through dialogue - preserving relationships, not just resolving disputes. Mediation is provided across key areas: Matrimonial matters • Family and estate issues • Commercial and employment disputes. All services are: Free • Confidential • Non-adversarial • Rooted in the ethics and values of our faith. If you or someone you know is facing a dispute, reach out to ask for support. |

Any differences must be resolved through tolerance, through understanding, through compassion, through dialogue, through forgiveness, through generosity, all of which represent the ethics of Islam. Mawlana Shah Karim, Syria, November 9, 2001 |

| Stirrings of the Soul |
In generosity and helping others, be like the river. In compassion and grace, be like the sun. In concealing others' faults, be like the night. In anger and fury, be like the dead. In modesty and humility, be like the earth. In tolerance, be like the sea. Either appear as you are, or be as you appear. Rumi
