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.
