Imtiaz Sooliman – Acceptance Speach South African Person of the Year

We brought you to understand each other and the most honored and the

side of Allah is He that is the most righteous of you, brothers

and sisters. JazakAllah, Imam, for this announcement, I salute the

country. I say thank you to the country for recognizing us. But

for me, it's a special message that as Muslims, in our work, we

can be recognized by all cultures, all religions, and the best way to

pay that back is we, individually, as every Muslim, should go and do

good, not to Muslims only put everyone in difficulty. And the

final message in Lavender Hill, one of the masjid Lavender Hill,

the Imams and the recipients of the masjid handed out food passes

that we gave for Christmas to Christian families using the

community hall in Lavender Hill Masjid that that couldn't be a

better example of building relationships. JazakAllah.
