It might sound like moaning but since a very long time I have always felt that there is not much activity on this forum by South Africans. We know of the many regular posters from UK, Indopak, Canada, etc...

So I have been encouraging, and will continue doing so, for my fellow South Africans to join and contribute to this forum.

A means of attracting this is via this thread which I hope to update regularly with updates of events in SA, etc. In this way non-members from South Africa are encouraged to join and participate.



PS: Mods may move this to relevant forum after some time.

Shaykh bring in some more South African 'ulama!

[Machater]

This is something I am looking at. Perhaps others here could help in drafting an invitation letter to the 'Ulama asking them to come on the forum and contribute. It is important because 1) SF currently lacks 'Ulama and 2) South African 'Ulama are very well respected and held in high regard by SFers. it is my wish that they join and I do have a few in mind that I would extend an invitation to.

Shaykh bring in some more South African 'ulama!

[Galsteinbok]

Insha Allah starting January 2012 the Eldoradopark Jumua Musjid will be hosting a weekly circle of thikr on a Thursday evening ba'dal Esha.

The recitation of the famous Raatib lis SAYYIDUNĀ AL-IMĀM QUTB U’L IRSHĀD AL-HABĪB ‘ABDALLĀH BIN ‘ALAWĪ AL-HADDĀD Rady Allāhu ‘Anhu (1044-1132 H) and thereafter the Wird al Latif by the same honorable author will be conducted.

The recitation will not exceed 45 minutes Insha Allah.

A short History of the arrival of the first Muslims in South Africa will also be presented in piecemeal throughout the year. In this regard we wish to pay homage to our forefathers (namely Imam Tuan Guru and Shaykh Yusuf of Maccasar) for the great lengths to which they had gone in bringing Islam to our shores and to rekindle the Islamic spirit which had served them good for such a long time.

Address: Henkel Avenue , Extension One, Eldoradopark

All Welcome
Womenfolk will be accommodated in the Female section of the Musjid (Second floor, entrance on the right flank of the musjid)

[appabessy]

will you guys be reading both the wird & the ratib after I'sha. its not possible to do both in 45 min. you might want to change it to doing the wird before isha & ratib after isha. the wird takes about 30 min & is usually read before maghrib & the ratib takes 25-30 min & is read either after the adhan for isha or after the salah.
Also see if the gathering could be moved to another night so that we can get rid of the idea that the Ratibul haddad is a Thursday night thing. Traditionally it is read on a Thursday & Sunday night in South Africa but imaam haddad compiled it for every night.

Masha Allah great effort, will there be a sharh on the ratib.

[JulietOreira]

I was away for couple of weeks and :alham: back now and would like to continue with this initiative.

Respected Brothers and Sisters

Understanding the Quran, the word of Allah, is the desire of every Muslim and is one of the greatest spiritual experiences. Such that many companions of the Prophet sallAllahu alayhi wasallam accepted Islam by merely listening to the glorious Quran.

DTI (Dār al-Turāth al-Islāmī) is now offering all learners, male and female, an opportunity to understand the holy Quran and to gain efficiency in other Islamic disciplines. The primary aim of the Institute is to make Higher Islamic Education available to working class people on a part time basis. The syllabus employed is a tried and tested one that has seen hundreds of students read and understand the Quran within the span of only one year. Accordingly, the 1st year of the program focuses on a study of the Arabic language which culminates into the translation of the Quran; the 2nd year of the program focuses on other Islamic disciplines such as ḥadīth, fiqh and so forth. Lessons are interactive, fun and conducted by qualified teachers. In addition modern methods are employed such as digital projector displays for all theoretical work.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND & REQUIREMENTS:
The course targets every male and female who wishes to experience the greatest ecstasy in life; who wishes to understand the Kalam of Allah, the inimitable Quran. For every male and female who heard a Hafiz recite the Quran and cried, and thereafter wondered what was recited. For every male and female who wishes to gain closeness to Allah by gaining a deeper understanding of sacred law.

The only requirement is that he/she should be able to recite Quran with ease. Accordingly, the course is aimed at beginners and starts from scratch. There is no minimum or maximum age, thus ALL are welcomed.

A short note on the late Marhoom Maulana Ebrahim Bham

Another stalwart lost to the Muslim community was Moulana Ebrahim Bham of Zeerust who breathed his last on Tuesday, 24 January 2012. Moulana Ebrahim was born in the North West town of Swartruggens where he acquired his initial Islamic education. Thereafter, he made his way to Waterval Islamic Institute (Mia’s Farm) to memorize the Noble Qur’an under the tutelage of the renowned Hafez Abdur Rahman Mia . Later, he travelled to India to study at Jami’ah Islamiyyah Dhabel and finally graduated at Darul Uloom Deoband.

Since his return to South Africa in 1975, Moulana diligently served the Muslim community of Zeerust for a period close to four decades. Moulana earned the respect of every sector of his community and touched the hearts of young and old with his pleasant demeanour. A father of seven daughters and two sons, Moulana was known as man of great tolerance and forbearance. He was able to harmoniously cement all sectors of his diverse community with great affection.

A major portion of Moulana’s daily routine was spent in the Masjid teaching the Noble Qur’an. Moulana was also fortunate to have spent much time in the company of Moulana Saeed Ahmad Khan who had shown great affection for him. This was in addition to his many travels to various parts of the world for the purpose of Da’wah and Tabligh.

May Allah forgive these blessed souls, grant them a noble status in Jannah and bless their families with patience and fortitude. Ameen.
