Iqbal Tamimi has not only created the Palestinian Mothers site at ning.com but steadfastly monitored and maintained it so that all the members of the group (now numbering more than 700) are welcomed and assisted in making themselves 'at home' _
Iqbal has continued to do this without any outside financial assistance and despite personal adversity _ her news and media posts are consistently 'current' and emailed updates which i have read have been well written and interesting _ in short every aspect of her interfacing with the public has demonstrated both a talent and professionalism worthy of an organization rather one individual _

no appraisal of Iqbal's work would be complete without mentioning her role as a journalist with the Palestine Think Tank nor indeed her work to foster better International and Muslim relations within her local community in Bristol _

i am delighted to be able to nominate Iqbal Tamimi for this award which i am certain would be a fitting acknowledgement of her life and complete dedication _ not only to the Palestinian cause but to the Islamic community in general _ and i truly hope that she will be awarded this recognition _
thank you

Iqbal Tamimi has made it possible for all people living in different countries to come together and exchange their views on her blog , She has turned the people into a family despite different languages and religion , She has shown that all people can live together and her blog is an example
I'm glad to be a member of the palestinian mother's blog and this allows me to publish what the scandinavians media writes about the palestinians , It also gives me the opportunity to share my experience with other members , It is a wonderful way to communicate with other people , Thank you Iqbal for a nice blog and good luck in the future

Awards for Excellence Ibn Battuta award for excellence in media

Ibn Battuta award for excellence in media a gift of betel is a far greater honour than a gift of gold and silver

Muhammad Ibn Abdullah Ibn Battuta, born in 1304 CE, has been described as the greatest traveller of premodern times. He was more than that. His wanderlust was contained in a worthy pursuit: a quest for ideas and knowledge of Muslim and non-Muslim societies that took him eventually, in keeping with the Prophet's advice, to the gates of China.

In 1325, Ibn Battuta left his home in Tangier, Morocco, to make the pilgrimage to Makkah. He returned a year and a half later, having taken in North Africa, Egypt, Palestine and Syria. For the next ten years, his ever more ambitious itinerary would thwart the most hardened of today's backpackers.

Without the convenience of jet travel, or the paraphernalia of modern communication (faxes, phrase-books and biros), Ibn Battuta lived and corresponded in cultures distant and distinct: Iraq, Persia, Tanzania, Transoxania, Khurasan and Afghanistan, to name but a few. In September 1335, he arrived at the banks of the Indus.

In India, Ibn Battuta was employed as a judge by Muhammad Taghluq, the Sultan of Delhi. He was soon appointed to lead an ill-fated diplomatic mission to the court of the Emperor of China. But Ibn Battuta, unperturbed by disaster, seized the opportunity to visit South India, Ceylon and the Maldives. He resolved to visit China alone, which he did in 1345.

When finally Ibn Battuta returned to Morocco in 1356, his intrepid journey was recorded by Ibn Juzayy, a young scholar of Arabic literature. This impressive account of the traditions, thinking and news of people across three continents is commonly known as the Rihla. Almost seven centuries on, the chronicles of Ibn Battuta urge the modern reader to look deeper, enquire further, and learn more about each other.
