Second Family Dawah on 11 August 2022

Last year, precisely September 2021, Maison Dawah organised a family Dawah in a remote village (Dubreuil) in the district of Moka. The family comprises of a couple with their three children (Grades 3, 4 and 7 respectively). They were provided with spiritual support through some basic Islamic teachings, praying Zuhr in congregation, having a meal together and the distribution of gifts.

This first Family Dawah proved to be successful and fruitful. This year, we decided to pay them a second visit on 11 August 2022. 

The program started at 10.40 hrs as follows:

  1. Demonstration of wuzu.
  2. A talk on the importance of salat (prayer) in Islam
  3. Question and answer session – basic questions on Islam prepared for reverts in general.
  4. Azaan. Salaat Zuhr in Jama’at where everybody participated.
  5. Lunch
  6. Tafseer of Surah Ikhlaas.
  7. Talk on Eid-ul-Adha and the sacrifice of Prophet Ibrahim (a.s).
  8. Distribution of gifts to our hosts. Vote of thanks.
  9. Departure at 14:35 hours.

The event was successful and the hosts were attentive and participative during the talks. The husband even expressed his contentment towards us by saying ‘’Mo senti moi heureux kan zott la’’.

Under this note, we can remind ourselves about verse 103 in Surah Ale Imran where Allah (swt) tells us;

‘’Hold firmly to the rope of Allah all together and do not become divided. Remember the favor of Allah upon you, when you were enemies and He brought your hearts together and you became brothers by His favor.’’

Dawah and workshop at M-Kids Association

Maison Dawah was invited to an ‘Atelier des enfants’ organised by M-Kids Association on Friday 04th March 2022. The program was held in a villa situated in Cap Malheureux. The audience consisted of approximately 25 people where the majority were non-Muslim children of 9-12 years old.

Imam Arshad Joomun of M-Kids Association initiated the session with a brief comment on Br. Hossen’s journey and achievement towards Dawah and social works. He appreciated the fact that the young generation is taking the lead. Our first speaker, Sameed Damaree, started by explaining the activities of Maison Dawah. Then he focused on a short “Introduction of Islam”. He explained the five pillars of Islam and the six articles of faith. He emphasized the concept of Tawheed all along. The second speaker, Nusayhah Aumeer, seized the opportunity of being a few weeks away from Ramadan and explained about the blessings and benefits of this holy month. Fatemah Jaddoo was then given the floor and she narrated a story based on Luqman’s ten pieces of advice to his son. The children listened carefully. Lastly a quiz/workshop was held, it was facilitated by Muneera Doorga. It was an animated session. Gifts were given to winners during short Q&A sessions all along the program.

The program closed on a good note and staff of both Maison Dawah and M-Kids Association assembled for a group photo.

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
