00:00:17 --> 00:00:21
			Yeah, salaamu Shaykh, walaykum, as
salaamu Akbar, it's great honor to
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:24
			have you with us here today,
again, in the second day of
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:27
			Ramadan, masha Allah, such a
beautiful masjid, and we can hear
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:30
			the beautiful recitation at the
background of the dhikr. We know
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:34
			we in masuro, Rabi, uh, it's so
beautiful to see the youth here as
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:39
			well, anticipating the Avan that's
going to go soon as well. But for
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:43
			those of our viewers that are
watching, kindly tell us about
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:47
			some of the Ramadan programs that
Sheik and the masjid committee has
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:51
			during the month of Ramadan. Yes.
So first of all, I want to tell
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:55
			the viewers be coming to you live
from Al masdarab for the
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:58
			liberation of Muslim Aqsa. We are
so honored to be connected to
		
00:00:58 --> 00:01:04
			Muslim Aqsa And Alhamdulillah, we
are reading the full Quran. And so
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:11
			every night we have Hafiz, Hafid
Adam keider, Hafiz, Mahir Fatar,
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:16
			and Hafid musalik. And so,
Alhamdulillah, every night before
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:21
			mahrib vikir, that you hear in the
background is comes from, from
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:26
			Yaman, from had ramoat. And it is
basically the implementation of
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:30
			the hadith of Rasulillah, the NABI
Muhammad says, increase to us
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:35
			Allah, four things in the month of
Ramadan, as Allah rajenna, as
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:39
			Allah, protection from the five
Jahannam, and increase to say,
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:42
			ashadu, Allah, ILAHA, Illallah and
astaq illallah. So that is what
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:46
			this dik is about. So it's
implementation of the words of the
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:49
			NABI Muhammad Al Asmaa. So as you
said correctly, the youth are
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:52
			there, and we have a lot of
activities for youth in this
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:55
			masjid, of which our other
brothers will speak about.
		
00:01:55 --> 00:01:56
			Inshallah,
		
00:01:57 --> 00:02:01
			you've been the Imam, resident
imam for so many years as well.
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:04
			And this area services not just
the Portland's community as well,
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:08
			but the surrounding areas as well.
Yeah, the service, although
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:11
			beaches, plane, stranford, thing,
even people coming from other
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:15
			areas. Alhamdulillah. So as I've
said, this much is quite busy. We
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:19
			have regular programs. We have
Sunday morning classes. We have
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:24
			every end of the month we have
salatul Lay Alhamdulillah. So yes,
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:27
			Alhamdulillah, it's an honor to
serve the people in this community
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:28
			for 35
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:31
			years, Sheik, for all the work
that you've done in this
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:35
			community, and may it always go
from strength to strength.
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:35
			Inshallah,
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:40
			that's shakiba and Gabriels, who
always takes the time to talk to
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:44
			us here at Marshall Rabi as well,
and then also as part of the
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:47
			committee as well. Brother Shafik
Hanif, Assalamu alaikum. Are you
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:47
			well?
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:53
			How are you doing? Alhamdulillah
for having us here as part of the
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:56
			mosque committee. You play an
integral role with regards to the
		
00:02:56 --> 00:03:00
			upkeep of the mosque and the
various payments that need to be
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:04
			made for salaries and things like
that. What's the week? Typical
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:08
			week look like, or month look like
as part of the committee? And
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:11
			Rahim, you know, when it comes to
finances of the of my city, always
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:14
			challenging, especially if you're
coming from, and I would say
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:17
			impoverished area like we just
plain hamdullah or hotel has truly
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:21
			blessed us. But you know, it's a
constant struggle in our in our
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:25
			communities, we we would find that
we're under shortfall at the end
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:29
			of the of the month. We have two
Imams that we have to pay. We have
		
00:03:29 --> 00:03:32
			a committee our the committee
doesn't get paid.
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:36
			We have our caretaker. We have our
		
00:03:38 --> 00:03:41
			we have three caretakers, and we
also have our madrasa. Also
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:45
			hamdira madrasa has been taken
over by manalto M, but I think we
		
00:03:45 --> 00:03:48
			were going to hear a little bit
about that now. But you know, and
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:50
			one of the most important thing
is, as you can see, that we are
		
00:03:50 --> 00:03:53
			busy with reconstruction of the
masjid we the painting, the
		
00:03:53 --> 00:03:56
			maintenance of the painting goes
on. Our security needs to be
		
00:03:56 --> 00:04:00
			upgraded, and also our camera
system needs to be upgraded. And
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:02
			that's, that's our biggest
challenge at this point. Our next
		
00:04:02 --> 00:04:05
			challenge is our camera system.
We're going to have security
		
00:04:05 --> 00:04:08
			cameras and also cameras inside to
go to our live stream. If you go
		
00:04:08 --> 00:04:11
			onto our page now, Mercy The
Robbie for the liberation of us
		
00:04:11 --> 00:04:14
			our Facebook page, you will find
that we are live now. We have live
		
00:04:14 --> 00:04:17
			most life of maybe all of the
messages that I know, of it I
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:22
			follow and when we want to go live
instantly. And when it comes to
		
00:04:22 --> 00:04:26
			that, we need our proper camera
system inside. So we appeal to
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:29
			everybody out there, if you can,
Alhamdulillah, we do have already
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:33
			towards it. We close to 50,000
ready. But our system is going to
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:36
			cost about 120,000 Rand. So if
there's anybody out there that
		
00:04:36 --> 00:04:39
			would like to contribute towards
that, Inshallah, then we can do
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:43
			that. The challenges are a big our
our security is being breached all
		
00:04:43 --> 00:04:47
			the time. Just the other day, they
stole the light out of the ladies
		
00:04:47 --> 00:04:49
			toilet, and it's a new,
reconstructed toilet at a bathroom
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:53
			that we did last year. And they
keep on stealing. They stole our
		
00:04:53 --> 00:04:57
			try to steal our, our generator.
Alhamdulillah, we've now got the
		
00:04:57 --> 00:04:59
			inverter in Soham delights,
Constantia.
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:04
			Inshallah, I can imagine it's it's
all for the community as well, so
		
00:05:04 --> 00:05:07
			that they can experience this
wonderful Masjid as well. All the
		
00:05:07 --> 00:05:11
			very best with all your
fundraising efforts as well. I do
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:14
			know you have annual events as
well. Any of the annual events
		
00:05:14 --> 00:05:16
			that you'd like to mention your
market days? You had one not too
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:20
			long ago. Yes. Alhamdulillah,
everybody, our market day was a
		
00:05:20 --> 00:05:23
			huge success. Some of our vendors
made good money. Alhamdulillah,
		
00:05:23 --> 00:05:26
			that was what it was about. That
is about us, but about everybody
		
00:05:26 --> 00:05:29
			else also. And we have our annual
gala dinner that we have at
		
00:05:29 --> 00:05:34
			Islamia, and there is quite a
quite a bit of funds. And then we
		
00:05:34 --> 00:05:37
			have our breakfasts that we have
also. So please follow us. Follow
		
00:05:37 --> 00:05:41
			us. Follow us. In all our events
will be on our social media pages.
		
00:05:41 --> 00:05:43
			So much. All the very best with
you the committee and the
		
00:05:43 --> 00:05:46
			community as well, of mashallah
Rabi
		
00:05:48 --> 00:05:53
			as part of the masjid as well. We
all know that as part of the
		
00:05:53 --> 00:05:58
			senior imamit and committee, but
you also need the youth to be
		
00:05:58 --> 00:06:02
			involved and active in what goes
on in the committee as well. And
		
00:06:02 --> 00:06:06
			with me is Brother Osama. Assalamu
alaikum. Are you well, my man?
		
00:06:06 --> 00:06:10
			What the love of that? Are you
doing? I'm very well. Thanks. Nice
		
00:06:10 --> 00:06:13
			to see you. Lovely to be at Masjid
Al Rabi. You visited us at our
		
00:06:13 --> 00:06:19
			studios as part of the Amaru youth
you know division. Tell us about a
		
00:06:19 --> 00:06:22
			few of the activities that you do
throughout the year. Okay, so
		
00:06:22 --> 00:06:26
			Alhamdulillah, the one of the
biggest activities that we have
		
00:06:26 --> 00:06:31
			that happens every single week is
the first day we could and Spana,
		
00:06:31 --> 00:06:34
			the Thursday we could attract
almost you can say up to 500
		
00:06:35 --> 00:06:39
			youth, yeah, and the bastard every
single week between mahrib and
		
00:06:39 --> 00:06:40
			Trish
		
00:06:41 --> 00:06:45
			at the beginning, yes, we had
Gatsby, but afterwards, as we just
		
00:06:45 --> 00:06:48
			instilled it in that the
invitation came from Allah. And as
		
00:06:48 --> 00:06:52
			we went on, Gatsby started
stopping. But yet the numbers only
		
00:06:52 --> 00:06:54
			grew. So let me tell the viewers
very quickly. So what they did was
		
00:06:54 --> 00:06:57
			they encouraged the youth to come
through, and they bought Gatsby's
		
00:06:58 --> 00:07:01
			to get them here at the basket. It
worked, because it had up to 500
		
00:07:01 --> 00:07:04
			people as well. Mashallah, what
are some of the other programs
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:07
			that you do throughout the year?
One of the other programs that we
		
00:07:07 --> 00:07:11
			have very, very special programs
are that so we have developmental
		
00:07:11 --> 00:07:14
			programs. So this covers
everything that you can think of,
		
00:07:14 --> 00:07:18
			whether it be secular, whether we
develop mental, spiritual. And
		
00:07:18 --> 00:07:22
			something that we started recently
is that we started a group of
		
00:07:22 --> 00:07:27
			young youngsters between the age
of 16 and 25 so every month, what
		
00:07:27 --> 00:07:30
			they do is they come together and
they have a free session of where
		
00:07:30 --> 00:07:33
			they can discuss whatever they're
feeling, whatever their thoughts
		
00:07:33 --> 00:07:36
			are, what they experience for the
month, and the teachers to create
		
00:07:36 --> 00:07:40
			that platform for the youth to
freely express themselves in a
		
00:07:40 --> 00:07:43
			environment where youth will
assist youth and youth will speak
		
00:07:43 --> 00:07:46
			to each other. Because the thing
is, the use of your day, we find
		
00:07:46 --> 00:07:50
			that many of them face similar
challenges. So once you come
		
00:07:50 --> 00:07:53
			across someone who face a
challenge similar to yours, you'll
		
00:07:53 --> 00:07:56
			be like, Okay, I'm not alone in
this. There is support out there.
		
00:07:56 --> 00:07:59
			That's been a project we've been
working on for the past few months
		
00:07:59 --> 00:08:03
			now. Alhamdulillah, and it's been
a success thus far. Wow. I'm just
		
00:08:03 --> 00:08:06
			amazed, because it's such an
amazing concept, and I think you
		
00:08:06 --> 00:08:10
			hit the button the nail on the
head and chose the right concept
		
00:08:10 --> 00:08:13
			in terms to help you as well. All
the very best with all your
		
00:08:13 --> 00:08:18
			projects. Inshallah, may it all go
from strength to strength.
		
00:08:18 --> 00:08:22
			Inshallah, welcome salaam, and
that is the Amarillo youth
		
00:08:22 --> 00:08:26
			division. That's part of mashallah
Rabi and the wonderful work that
		
00:08:26 --> 00:08:31
			they do, as well as part of the
Imam, we also have Sheik dela, who
		
00:08:31 --> 00:08:34
			is going to speak to us about some
of the other programs that they
		
00:08:34 --> 00:08:38
			do. It's so lovely to be here.
Pleasure. It's a pleasure to be
		
00:08:38 --> 00:08:42
			here. Yes, Alhamdulillah, I think
Usama spoke about the youth
		
00:08:42 --> 00:08:45
			activities, very successful
activities. Recently, we started
		
00:08:45 --> 00:08:51
			the madrasa, the Sunday Madras,
really well appreciated and well
		
00:08:51 --> 00:08:52
			approved and well
		
00:08:54 --> 00:08:58
			accepted by the community. We
started with six students, and we
		
00:08:58 --> 00:09:03
			ended up with 400 students, less
in one month. Very so humble the
		
00:09:03 --> 00:09:08
			world. It just shows that what
you're doing is something that is
		
00:09:08 --> 00:09:12
			positive, and also the youth are
attracted to what you're doing.
		
00:09:12 --> 00:09:15
			And mashallah, you're keeping them
in, you know, in the mosque
		
00:09:15 --> 00:09:19
			environment as well. You also have
Sunday classes. I believe that's
		
00:09:19 --> 00:09:23
			growing incredibly well. Tell us
about that. So the Sunday class,
		
00:09:23 --> 00:09:26
			one of the one of the drawing
cards of Sunday class is, it's for
		
00:09:26 --> 00:09:31
			the adult and the child. So we
have the child madrasa in the
		
00:09:31 --> 00:09:34
			hall, and we have for the parent
as well in the masjid at the same
		
00:09:34 --> 00:09:37
			time. So almost a type of
development for the whole family.
		
00:09:38 --> 00:09:42
			And one of the mothers, actually,
she said, as she left the matarasa
		
00:09:42 --> 00:09:46
			they went home, and they were all
speaking in the in the car about
		
00:09:46 --> 00:09:49
			the what they studied. And it was
so enlightening for for the entire
		
00:09:49 --> 00:09:53
			family. And also, I can only
imagine the conversation, how
		
00:09:53 --> 00:09:55
			lovely that continued and
continued. And I wouldn't imagine
		
00:09:55 --> 00:09:58
			it's beyond the car as well, and
that ripple effect that it has,
		
00:09:59 --> 00:09:59
			yes, from one.
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:03
			Come to another, to another. So it
starts in the home and spreads to
		
00:10:03 --> 00:10:06
			the entire community. So
Inshallah, that's the idea that
		
00:10:06 --> 00:10:10
			the enlightening, the enlightening
of the entire family and then
		
00:10:10 --> 00:10:13
			spreading to the entire community.
What do you enjoy about this
		
00:10:13 --> 00:10:17
			committee, this community, the
committee, the brothers, the
		
00:10:17 --> 00:10:22
			musalis, what is your I know,
Shaykh, you've been very involved
		
00:10:22 --> 00:10:25
			and instrumental in a lot of
programs as well. So your passion
		
00:10:25 --> 00:10:30
			comes through in your work. I
think one of the main points of
		
00:10:30 --> 00:10:33
			this Masjid is how my my father,
has created an environment in the
		
00:10:33 --> 00:10:37
			masjid where everyone respects and
love each other. The Masjid is
		
00:10:37 --> 00:10:40
			always busy with activities, you
know. So it's, it's a masjid it
		
00:10:40 --> 00:10:45
			always caters to all your needs as
well. So because of this, there's
		
00:10:45 --> 00:10:48
			really been fostered a a type of
family unit at the masjid.
		
00:10:48 --> 00:10:52
			Alhamdulillah. So it's lovely to
to hear and see, and it's
		
00:10:52 --> 00:10:55
			experience every time I come to
the masjid. That's one of the
		
00:10:55 --> 00:10:57
			things that I picked up. We're
almost ready for the adhlan as
		
00:10:57 --> 00:11:01
			well. Inshallah, very quick
message to our viewers for Ramadan
		
00:11:01 --> 00:11:04
			sha Allah, may all of them
experience a blessed Ramadan
		
00:11:04 --> 00:11:08
			inshaAllah. May Allah accept all
the duas inshallah. May we live to
		
00:11:08 --> 00:11:12
			see a Palestine that is free
Inshallah, and may we Salah in a
		
00:11:12 --> 00:11:17
			free Palestine inshaAllah,
sallAllahu, Hamid Alhamdulillah RA
		
00:11:18 --> 00:11:22
			and that's Sheikha Abdullah, who
is part of the Imam as here, and
		
00:11:22 --> 00:11:26
			Sheik Gabriel's son as well. From
all of us at Hilal TV, we would
		
00:11:26 --> 00:11:30
			especially like to thank Sainsbury
exotics for supplying our vehicle
		
00:11:30 --> 00:11:34
			that we can get to the different
massages from myself and the
		
00:11:34 --> 00:11:37
			entire Hilal team. We back
tomorrow between five and seven
		
00:11:37 --> 00:11:41
			for the Iftar show. Brother Riyadh
and myself do the the mosque
		
00:11:41 --> 00:11:45
			visits, and we wish you a lovely
