CANCELLATION OF TUWASILIANE FOOTBALL AND VOLLEYBALL SPORTS FESTIVAL IN TANGA
Following the terrible and tragic collapse of the building adjacent to our Mosque in Dar es Salaam causing several deaths and casualties in our community and also among other communities in Dar Es Salaam, we join the Dar-es-Salaam Jamaat in this difficult moment of grief and sorrow.
In respect and in commemoration of this tragedy which has befallen upon us in Dar es Salaam, the Federation of Khoja Shia Ithna-Asheri Jamaats of Africa working closely with the Organizing Committee, the host Jamaat and all the participating teams who equally share this grief with the Community in Dar-es-Salaam, have decided to cancel the above Festival in Tanga.
At this difficult time, we request our community members to pray to Allah (SWT) to give courage and solace to the bereaved families who have lost their dear ones in this tragic incident which occurred yesterday in Dar es Salaam.
We send our heartfelt condolences to all the families who have lost their dear and near ones.
We pray to Allah (SWT) for the quick rescue of the missing persons and for the speedy and full recovery of those injured in this incident
