Distribution of Food Packs to necessitous families for September 2025

It was narrated that Abu Sa’eed Al-Khudri said:

“Love the poor, for I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say in his supplication: ‘O Allah, cause me to live poor and cause me to die poor, and gather me among the poor (on the Day of Resurrection).’” Sunan Ibn Majah 4126

At the heart of Islam lies a deep concern for the well-being of others. Acts of care, such as kindness and generosity, are not limited to words but are shown through actions. Among the most honoured deeds is sharing food, for feeding the hungry is a means of spreading mercy and strengthening bonds within the community.

With this intention, Maison Dawah continued its mission of supporting families in need. In September 2025, it launched a project to distribute food packs along with a portion of Qurbani meat, allowing distressed households to benefit from both essential supplies and the blessings of sacrifice. This initiative reflected the true spirit of Qurbani — sharing sustenance, compassion, and care with those facing hardship.”

Distribution of 100 food packs around Mauritius

100 food packs were distributed to needy families all around Mauritius.
The families reside in the following regions:

Ward IV, Vallée Pitot, Plaine Verte, Camp Yoloff, Cite Martial, Cité la Cure, Vallée des Prêtres, Baie du Tombeau, Terre Rouge, Montagne Longue, Petit Raffray, Goodlands, Cassis, Pailles, Bambous, Coromandel, Beau Bassin, Rose Hill, Vacoas, Wooton, Moka, Candos, Dubreuil, Dagotière, Petit Bel Air, Saint Hubert and St Aubin.

The 100 food packs total around Rs 97,949

One foodpack costs: Rs 980

Each Family received a food pack composed of basic commodities such as rice, milk, sugar, tea, canned foods, oil, Nestum among others. The aid brought comfort and relief to the families, who wholeheartedly conveyed their appreciation and thanks to Maison Dawah and those who contributed.

Street Dawah

On three consecutive Wednesdays; 03, 10, 17 September 2025, Maison Dawah conducted their weekly Street Dawah near Jeetoo Hospital. Two male staff and two female staff were present onsite from 10.10 to 12.00 hrs.

The public accepted our presence and we felt at ease to continue with our “Dawah” activity. We distributed a total of 418 pamphlets which conveyed two messages ‘Retour vers Notre Créateur” and “Les Fléaux de la société.” Among other achievements, we’ve been able to distribute:

70 brochures 

19 copies of the Qur’an in French

5 copies of the Qur’an in English

6 pamphlets ‘L’Unicité de Dieu en Islam’

3 pamphlets each on ‘Mon Hijab réflexions de femmes musulmanes’ and ‘Droit des Femmes en Islam’.

Alhamdulillah, the activity went smoothly on both days. We plan to conduct our next Street Dawah this Wednesday 24 September 2025 at the same location, In Shaa Allah.

Ene Ti Reflextion Lor Cigarette

Enn ti reflexion lor Cigarette

Cigarette li interdit/haraam dans Islam.

Cigarette li détruire la santé enn dimoune.

Quand enn dimoune fumé li pas pé faire aucun dibien pou li même, plutôt li pé détruire so bann organe dans so le corp.

Partage ce qui ou éna pour le plasir d’Allah, et pas jette ou même dans ruine par ou propre actions. Faire du bien, car Allah content banne qui faire du bien. Chapitre 2 (Al Baqara [La Vache]) verse 195

Banne qui dépenser et faire gaspillage, zotte banne frère Satan, et Satan li bien ingrat envers Le Créateur. Chapitre 17 (Al-Isra [le voyage nocturne]) verse 27

Le Prophète Muhammad (bénédiction et salut soient sur lui) a dit: Toute substance intoxicante est *Khamr et toute substance intoxicante est interdite. Sahih Muslim 2003b

Enn dimoune bizin suivre la loi du Créateur, non plus so passion.

Qu’Allah (swt) Le Tout Puissant nous préserve de cette substance destructrice.Aameen


*Le terme arabe “Khamr” (خمر) désigne le vin, et par extension, toute boisson enivrante ou substance intoxicante. Dans l’islam, sa consommation est haram (interdite) en raison de ses effets sur la raison et le comportement.

Launching Ceremony of a booklet“The Status of Women in Sacred Texts

One day workshop and Launching Ceremony of a booklet
“The Status of Women in Sacred Texts”
 
The event was organized by the Council of Religions (CoR) on Saturday 22 August 2020 at 09.30 hrs at the Mahatma Gandhi Institute, Moka. Mr. Ahamad Boodoo and Miss Nusayhah Aumeer of Maison Dawah attended.
 
The event started with a ceremony whereby interfaith prayers were said by representatives of different religious bodies. Mrs. Allia Syed Hossen – Gooljar, initiator of the event, gave an interesting speech which englobes the status of women in various religions. “Les textes sacrés sont des lumières” quoted Father Philippe Goupille, the president of CoR. He was followed by Mr. Vyapoory Paramasivum Pillay, GOSK Former Vice-President of the Republic: “Men and women have distinctive roles. As a mother, she does not only give birth but helps in the spiritual, physical and psychological development of her child. For a father, he is also responsible for cultivating the mind of the child. He is the leader and decision-maker.” Lauching of the booklet “Status of Women in Sacred Texts”, introduced by Mrs. Allia, was done thereafter by Mr. Vyapoory. A vote of thanks by the secretary of CoR, Mr. Bashir Nuckchady, closed this first part of the event.
 
After a group photo session and tea break, the workshop proper started. Each speaker spoke on the status of women in his/her respective religion notably the Tamil Religion, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, the Bahá’í faith and Christianity. From the different presentations it transpires that all the sacred texts give women a high status in society. In all spheres of life their importance is known – be it as daughters, mothers or wives. But…as Mrs. Allia Syed Hossen – Gooljar explained: “La femme représente plus de 50% de la population mondiale mais malheureusement, elles ne jouissent pas des mêmes droits que les hommes et leur voix et leur statut au sein de la société sont souvent ignorés. Cependant,… nous constatons que la femme jouit d’un rang élevé mais à cause des mauvaises interpretations des textes sacrés et des pratiques culturelles, les femmes ont été reléguées dans des positions subalterns au sein de la société.” Following the interventions, there was a Q&A session and summing up of the event at 15.15 hrs.

Maison Dawah: Interfaith discussion with students at the University Philippines Cebu

Maison Dawah participated in an international conference on ” Religion in Times of Pandemic: Relevance and Civic Engagement ” on Wednesday, February 10, 2021, at the invitation of the University of Philippines Cebu. This interfaith dialogue was made possible via Google Meet, an online platform.

The audience consisted of 100 Filipino students enrolled in “Grade Senior High School” and majoring in “Humanities and Social Sciences “. The inter – ethnic dialogue’s theme was “World Religions and Belief Systems”.

The Philippine authorities want to increase awareness of Islam and Christianity’s roles in times of societal distress.

The two speakers on this occasion were Belall Maudarbux of Maison Dawah and Rev. Capulong on the Philippine side.

The event was a huge success, and we received high praise from attendees on all sides.

Maison Dawah: intercultural meeting in Grand-Baie

The event took place on Saturday, May 18, at the Grand Bay Social Welfare Center. Maison Dawah had planned an intercultural Iftar Gathering in close cooperation with the Nujjoo family from Grand Baie. Around sixty additional compatriots had responded to our invitation. Father Emmanuel (of French nationality) spoke on behalf of Father Philippe Goupille, the Council of Religions’ president. Following the opening remarks, Hossen Kurrimboccus of Maison Dawah presented a PowerPoint presentation on “Islam and Ramadan.” He essentially explained the five pillars of Islam and some facts of fasting during Ramadan. The subsequent interaction session was very lively, and we welcomed questions or comments the feedback was as follows:

  1. Why do Muslim women cover their heads with the hijab?
  2. Why do people choose to wear hijabs?
  3. Father Emmanuel of Grand Baie informed us that several priests in European nations keep a lengthy beard.
  4. A woman inquired as to whether “Assalamu’alaikum ” mean “peace.”
  5. A second woman said that she is a Muslim and a Christian.

Father Emmanuel addressed the audience. He read the written message that Father Goupille had graciously forwarded – a message of fraternity and friendship in the midst of Ramadan. Father Emmanuel expressed his joy at being with us for this multicultural encounter. He was taken aback when he witnessed the brotherly and joyous mood that pervaded the event.

After sunset, the guests were welcomed to have iftar with Maison Dawah’s team. The visitors were then invited to sit and watch their Muslim compatriots do the Maghrib prayer. It was a gracious and amicable atmosphere. Everybody was then invited for dinner and savored a delicious “chicken briani.” The visitors expressed their pleasure at having seen Islam “live” at this gathering.

Islamic Dawah Academy: Educating youths and assisting the underprivileged

The Islamic Dawah Academy (IDA), situated in Phoenix’s Noor Hall, was founded to provide Islamic education and assistance to families in need.

The interest shown by members of the Muslim community in the numerous events planned by IDA has provided the essential encouragement for its members to continue in the same path.

IDA organizes educational sessions in the areas of Dawah, Zaka’at, Islamic finance, and Sharia-compliant marriage preparation. Some of these classes have already begun, and anyone interested in learning more may contact the numbers listed below.

Hossen Tariq Kodabacus, president of IDA, is concerned about the deterioration of morality in Mauritius. “There are fewer young people attending madrasah and masjid. Our mission is to encourage and motivate these young people with the assistance of a competent team, instilling in them the necessary Islamic principles. Otherwise, these young people run the risk of being caught by the scourges that are already affecting our society” he said.

The Islamic Dawah Academy’s mission is not limited to educating and training youths, but also to assist families  that in need. As a result, it provides monthly food assistance to many impoverished households. Additionally, IDA conducts lectures for students during school breaks and excursions supervised by its members. Additionally, IDA gives notebooks to underprivileged youngsters in society.

Halimah Peerbux is the leader of the “IDA Muslimah Club,” and she is one of the many individuals who contribute significantly to the Islamic Dawah Academy. She is in charge of youth training and counselling. The Fellowship First Aiders of Rose-Hill are presently offering first aid classes to young girls. It is worth noting that IDA is collaborating with Maison Dawah on the “Dan Ou Bonus, Pas Blié Bann Pauvres” initiative.

Those interested in assisting the poor and participating in Islamic youth training may contact IDA on 606 2073 or 5766 54 55
