About this ebook
This series of e-booklets was commissioned by the IFFM to provide media professionals with quick reference material on the religious traditions in South Africa. They will be published in the order in which we receive them from the representatives of the faith traditions. This does not imply that it is limited to South Africans, or to media professionals! Indeed, anyone interested in the major faith traditions will surely find much of interest here. Volume 1 discusses Islam.
Independent Forum for Faith and Media
The Independent Forum for Faith and Media (IFFM; formerly the Independent Forum for Religious Broadcasting – founded 1994) is devoted to promoting spirituality and faith in all aspects of broadcasting, including electronic media.The IFFM exists to promote four aspects of faith based broadcasting:- programmes of worship, teaching or pastoral care for the adherents of the various faiths present in SA- educational programming to assist the South African public to understand the faith communities present in the country- the presentation of the view point of faith based communities on moral and ethical matters or issues of current concern which may be presented or debated in the media- networking to create dialogue and dispel misconceptions.The IFFM works to get the best possible faith based programmes across to you. One of the ways it does this is by helping faith based communities and broadcasters to find each other.The IFFM reaches out in many directions: to Parliament, to Government Departments and ICASA; to broadcasters to get an equitable treatment for faith based communities, and to watch-dog organizations over complaints.Supported by a spectrum of faith based communities, the IFFM invites you to keep up to date with what is happening in faith based broadcasting in South Africa.
