Ebrahim Gabriels – 2nd Congress on Islamic Civilisation in Southern Africa

			Smila
		

			Rahman Rahim, first of all, I want
to say that I've attended many
		

			conferences all over the world,
but would love to consider this
		

			conference to be one of the most
informative and most beneficial
		

			conference I've ever attended. As
a South African or coming from
		

			Southern Africa. I think this
conference was so crucial for the
		

			future of Islam, and
		

			I'm very impressed with what club
South Africa, what they've done,
		

			and in partnership with IPSA and
		

			organization from Turkey and even
Minara chambers and ITV and
		

			voiceover cape and so many others,
		

			I think maybe even myself, didn't
realize the richness of our
		

			civilization in South Africa and
what people have contributed to
		

			the civilization of South Africa
And Islam as a whole, in the
		

			Southern Africa
		

			area,
		

			and also at the same time, I would
love to say that there's a lot of
		

			work that needs to be done. And
one of the main areas that I
		

			consider, and i That's why I so
much, I'm so much impressed with
		

			this conference, because I would
live to believe that from this
		

			conference we can, we can break
the barriers that was, or is still
		

			there, between Malay Muslims,
Indian Muslims, and African
		

			Muslims. That's why I'm so
impressed and appreciative of this
		

			conference. I know that Allah has
decreed that we come together here
		

			in Durban for that purpose, and
that will be so crucial. And we as
		

			Muslims, we're not only here in
South Africa to benefit Muslims,
		

			but we are here so that all people
in Africa, Southern Africa, and
		

			Africa as a large,
		

			as a continent, that all can
benefit. Inshallah, because Islam
		

			is so rich in
		

			activities and civilization and
yes, so once again, I really
		

			appreciate and would love to thank
our beloved organization, of which
		

			I'm a trustee, of course, of
Africa, I just told the CEO now
		

			that I can remember right at the
start, at the beginning, when He
		

			went to the different ulama bodies
and different organizations to
		

			start up South Africa. And I would
love to believe it was started
		

			with sincerity. That is why South
Africa, up to today, they are
		

			very, very successful.
Alhamdulillah, Allah, subhana
		

			grant them from here onwards to be
even become more stronger
		

			Inshallah, so that so many other
people can benefit inshallah.
		

			I.
