CIRCULAR NO: JMT/185/19 April 12, 2019
Sha’ban 6, 1440
Africa Federation is requesting member Jamaats in Africa and the K.S.I. community in Africa and globally to raise awareness of this important Night and Day of 15th Sha’ban, This is one of the Nights of Power (Lailatul Qadr) which we have designated as the AFED Solidarity Day.
The Holy Prophet (SAWW) has said:
“During the night of 15th Sha’ban The Almighty takes decisions in the matters of sustenance, life and death and welfare of the people.”
The importance of Solidarity Day cannot be stressed enough; Solidarity Day, by a definition is “Unanimity” and the significance of this is the inspiration we derive in the celebration marking the birth anniversary of the Imam of our time, Imam al Hujjah al Mahdi (ATFS) the Twelfth Successor of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (SAWW).
We humbly request all to support this worthy cause through generous contributions. Let us take a moment to reflect from the Verse of the Holy Qur’an, Surah Al Baqarah; 2:274:
“Those who give to charity by night and by day, secretly and publicly, they will have their reward with their Lord; on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve.”
This is a unique opportunity to earn Allah’s pleasure and blessings to assist the less fortunate and deserving families of our community for their basic needs, like school fees, medical and other household essential needs. We request all the Jamaats to initiate and promote collections to start from 1st to 25th Sha’ban 1440 AH (7th April to 1st May 2019).
Members can make their contributions (Zakat, Sadaqah and General Donations) to the Africa Federation either through the local Jamaat or to the Africa Federation Secretariat head office in Dar es Salaam. AFED official receipt will be sent directly to the donors.
Should anyone require further information, please email: secretariat@africafederation.org or call us on telephone: +255 22 2150897.
Contributions from members, as always, will make a great difference to the deserving beneficiaries.
