Together WE can make a Difference
MUHARRAM 1436 AH
On 26th October 2014, as Muslims across the globe observed the holy month of Muharram, the mission commemorated this month by mourning on the events of Kerbala. Various programs were conducted in all BMMK 15 centres and in Mombasa for the first ten days of the month.
10 day Majlis in Mombasa
Majaalis conducted at Bilal Hall Mombasa commenced on 26th October to 4th November 2014. Mu’minin from within and outside Mombasa city arrived earlier in time for the majalis. Sessions on Qur’an recitation followed by Matam and poems on the tragedy of Karbala were recited.
Speakers drawn from across the sectarian divide talked on topical issues concerning Imam Husayn (A.S) and what he stood for, 1,374 years ago. Topics discussed were: Who is Imam Hussain (A.S) and what do we learn from his revolution, remembrance of the events of Kerbala, reasons for the mourning on the tragedy of Kerbala and what the Event of Kerbala teaches Muslims in general. These were discussed by Sh Aidarus Athman, Sh. Muhammed Dumila, Sh. Hussein Harun and Sh. Ali Asghar Athman respectively.
BMMK Centres:
Majaalis were conducted in all the 15 BMMK centres. There were special sessions for women lead by muballighat from WIPAHS – Tanzania and Zahrah madrasah, Mombasa.
On Ashura day juloos procession was conducted where centres adjacent each other walked for about 2-3 kilometers before converging at a common meeting point. Speeches were delivered to mu’minin in languages they understand best. Niyaz was served and mu’minin dispersed late in the afternoon.
Radio Programs
A special 5 part series of radio programs was broadcasted on Pwani FM 104.7 from the 29th October to 3rd November 2014. In each program a question was posed to the audience.
The mission extends its gratitude to our generous donors who through, their support enabled the mission to effectively enliven the affairs of Ahlul Bayt (A.S) through various programs conducted during Muharram and later in Safar.
