Ebrahim Gabriels – Luqmaan Shadrach Broadcasts Live, Iftaar, Masjied Rawbie in Portlands,

Yeah, salaamu Shaykh, walaykum, as salaamu Akbar, it's great honor to

have you with us here today, again, in the second day of

Ramadan, masha Allah, such a beautiful masjid, and we can hear

the beautiful recitation at the background of the dhikr. We know

we in masuro, Rabi, uh, it's so beautiful to see the youth here as

well, anticipating the Avan that's going to go soon as well. But for

those of our viewers that are watching, kindly tell us about

some of the Ramadan programs that Sheik and the masjid committee has

during the month of Ramadan. Yes. So first of all, I want to tell

the viewers be coming to you live from Al masdarab for the

liberation of Muslim Aqsa. We are so honored to be connected to

Muslim Aqsa And Alhamdulillah, we are reading the full Quran. And so

every night we have Hafiz, Hafid Adam keider, Hafiz, Mahir Fatar,

and Hafid musalik. And so, Alhamdulillah, every night before

mahrib vikir, that you hear in the background is comes from, from

Yaman, from had ramoat. And it is basically the implementation of

the hadith of Rasulillah, the NABI Muhammad says, increase to us

Allah, four things in the month of Ramadan, as Allah rajenna, as

Allah, protection from the five Jahannam, and increase to say,

ashadu, Allah, ILAHA, Illallah and astaq illallah. So that is what

this dik is about. So it's implementation of the words of the

NABI Muhammad Al Asmaa. So as you said correctly, the youth are

there, and we have a lot of activities for youth in this

masjid, of which our other brothers will speak about.

Inshallah,

you've been the Imam, resident imam for so many years as well.

And this area services not just the Portland's community as well,

but the surrounding areas as well. Yeah, the service, although

beaches, plane, stranford, thing, even people coming from other

areas. Alhamdulillah. So as I've said, this much is quite busy. We

have regular programs. We have Sunday morning classes. We have

every end of the month we have salatul Lay Alhamdulillah. So yes,

Alhamdulillah, it's an honor to serve the people in this community

for 35

years, Sheik, for all the work that you've done in this

community, and may it always go from strength to strength.

Inshallah,

that's shakiba and Gabriels, who always takes the time to talk to

us here at Marshall Rabi as well, and then also as part of the

committee as well. Brother Shafik Hanif, Assalamu alaikum. Are you

well?

How are you doing? Alhamdulillah for having us here as part of the

mosque committee. You play an integral role with regards to the

upkeep of the mosque and the various payments that need to be

made for salaries and things like that. What's the week? Typical

week look like, or month look like as part of the committee? And

Rahim, you know, when it comes to finances of the of my city, always

challenging, especially if you're coming from, and I would say

impoverished area like we just plain hamdullah or hotel has truly

blessed us. But you know, it's a constant struggle in our in our

communities, we we would find that we're under shortfall at the end

of the of the month. We have two Imams that we have to pay. We have

a committee our the committee doesn't get paid.

We have our caretaker. We have our

we have three caretakers, and we also have our madrasa. Also

hamdira madrasa has been taken over by manalto M, but I think we

were going to hear a little bit about that now. But you know, and

one of the most important thing is, as you can see, that we are

busy with reconstruction of the masjid we the painting, the

maintenance of the painting goes on. Our security needs to be

upgraded, and also our camera system needs to be upgraded. And

that's, that's our biggest challenge at this point. Our next

challenge is our camera system. We're going to have security

cameras and also cameras inside to go to our live stream. If you go

onto our page now, Mercy The Robbie for the liberation of us

our Facebook page, you will find that we are live now. We have live

most life of maybe all of the messages that I know, of it I

follow and when we want to go live instantly. And when it comes to

that, we need our proper camera system inside. So we appeal to

everybody out there, if you can, Alhamdulillah, we do have already

towards it. We close to 50,000 ready. But our system is going to

cost about 120,000 Rand. So if there's anybody out there that

would like to contribute towards that, Inshallah, then we can do

that. The challenges are a big our our security is being breached all

the time. Just the other day, they stole the light out of the ladies

toilet, and it's a new, reconstructed toilet at a bathroom

that we did last year. And they keep on stealing. They stole our

try to steal our, our generator. Alhamdulillah, we've now got the

inverter in Soham delights, Constantia.

Inshallah, I can imagine it's it's all for the community as well, so

that they can experience this wonderful Masjid as well. All the

very best with all your fundraising efforts as well. I do

know you have annual events as well. Any of the annual events

that you'd like to mention your market days? You had one not too

long ago. Yes. Alhamdulillah, everybody, our market day was a

huge success. Some of our vendors made good money. Alhamdulillah,

that was what it was about. That is about us, but about everybody

else also. And we have our annual gala dinner that we have at

Islamia, and there is quite a quite a bit of funds. And then we

have our breakfasts that we have also. So please follow us. Follow

us. Follow us. In all our events will be on our social media pages.

So much. All the very best with you the committee and the

community as well, of mashallah Rabi

as part of the masjid as well. We all know that as part of the

senior imamit and committee, but you also need the youth to be

involved and active in what goes on in the committee as well. And

with me is Brother Osama. Assalamu alaikum. Are you well, my man?

What the love of that? Are you doing? I'm very well. Thanks. Nice

to see you. Lovely to be at Masjid Al Rabi. You visited us at our

studios as part of the Amaru youth you know division. Tell us about a

few of the activities that you do throughout the year. Okay, so

Alhamdulillah, the one of the biggest activities that we have

that happens every single week is the first day we could and Spana,

the Thursday we could attract almost you can say up to 500

youth, yeah, and the bastard every single week between mahrib and

Trish

at the beginning, yes, we had Gatsby, but afterwards, as we just

instilled it in that the invitation came from Allah. And as

we went on, Gatsby started stopping. But yet the numbers only

grew. So let me tell the viewers very quickly. So what they did was

they encouraged the youth to come through, and they bought Gatsby's

to get them here at the basket. It worked, because it had up to 500

people as well. Mashallah, what are some of the other programs

that you do throughout the year? One of the other programs that we

have very, very special programs are that so we have developmental

programs. So this covers everything that you can think of,

whether it be secular, whether we develop mental, spiritual. And

something that we started recently is that we started a group of

young youngsters between the age of 16 and 25 so every month, what

they do is they come together and they have a free session of where

they can discuss whatever they're feeling, whatever their thoughts

are, what they experience for the month, and the teachers to create

that platform for the youth to freely express themselves in a

environment where youth will assist youth and youth will speak

to each other. Because the thing is, the use of your day, we find

that many of them face similar challenges. So once you come

across someone who face a challenge similar to yours, you'll

be like, Okay, I'm not alone in this. There is support out there.

That's been a project we've been working on for the past few months

now. Alhamdulillah, and it's been a success thus far. Wow. I'm just

amazed, because it's such an amazing concept, and I think you

hit the button the nail on the head and chose the right concept

in terms to help you as well. All the very best with all your

projects. Inshallah, may it all go from strength to strength.

Inshallah, welcome salaam, and that is the Amarillo youth

division. That's part of mashallah Rabi and the wonderful work that

they do, as well as part of the Imam, we also have Sheik dela, who

is going to speak to us about some of the other programs that they

do. It's so lovely to be here. Pleasure. It's a pleasure to be

here. Yes, Alhamdulillah, I think Usama spoke about the youth

activities, very successful activities. Recently, we started

the madrasa, the Sunday Madras, really well appreciated and well

approved and well

accepted by the community. We started with six students, and we

ended up with 400 students, less in one month. Very so humble the

world. It just shows that what you're doing is something that is

positive, and also the youth are attracted to what you're doing.

And mashallah, you're keeping them in, you know, in the mosque

environment as well. You also have Sunday classes. I believe that's

growing incredibly well. Tell us about that. So the Sunday class,

one of the one of the drawing cards of Sunday class is, it's for

the adult and the child. So we have the child madrasa in the

hall, and we have for the parent as well in the masjid at the same

time. So almost a type of development for the whole family.

And one of the mothers, actually, she said, as she left the matarasa

they went home, and they were all speaking in the in the car about

the what they studied. And it was so enlightening for for the entire

family. And also, I can only imagine the conversation, how

lovely that continued and continued. And I wouldn't imagine

it's beyond the car as well, and that ripple effect that it has,

yes, from one.

Come to another, to another. So it starts in the home and spreads to

the entire community. So Inshallah, that's the idea that

the enlightening, the enlightening of the entire family and then

spreading to the entire community. What do you enjoy about this

committee, this community, the committee, the brothers, the

musalis, what is your I know, Shaykh, you've been very involved

and instrumental in a lot of programs as well. So your passion

comes through in your work. I think one of the main points of

this Masjid is how my my father, has created an environment in the

masjid where everyone respects and love each other. The Masjid is

always busy with activities, you know. So it's, it's a masjid it

always caters to all your needs as well. So because of this, there's

really been fostered a a type of family unit at the masjid.

Alhamdulillah. So it's lovely to to hear and see, and it's

experience every time I come to the masjid. That's one of the

things that I picked up. We're almost ready for the adhlan as

well. Inshallah, very quick message to our viewers for Ramadan

sha Allah, may all of them experience a blessed Ramadan

inshaAllah. May Allah accept all the duas inshallah. May we live to

see a Palestine that is free Inshallah, and may we Salah in a

free Palestine inshaAllah, sallAllahu, Hamid Alhamdulillah RA

and that's Sheikha Abdullah, who is part of the Imam as here, and

Sheik Gabriel's son as well. From all of us at Hilal TV, we would

especially like to thank Sainsbury exotics for supplying our vehicle

that we can get to the different massages from myself and the

entire Hilal team. We back tomorrow between five and seven

for the Iftar show. Brother Riyadh and myself do the the mosque

visits, and we wish you a lovely evening. JazakAllah for always
