Ramadan 1442 ٱلسَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ‎ With the grace and mercy of Allah, we have completed the first ten days of Ramadan 1442. We are also fortunate that the COVID infections have been reasonably under control. However, we should remain vigilant and take all the necessary precautions. As we did last year, JHESS will again honour all the children that are fasting for the first time this Ramadan. We encourage you to submit their names on our website email at info@habsani.co.za or call or SMS 072 464 7474. Please provide us with both parent’s names, the recipient’s name, physical address and mobile and email contact details. The deadline for registration is 4 May 2021 but if you could submit the names sooner rather than later, we would be grateful. May Allah guide our children and reward them generously, Ameen. We will also be distributing our annual Food Parcels and Orphan Gift Packs to the most deserving recipients who are confirmed to be deserving of Zakaah and Fitra.To facilitate a smooth handover, we would be grateful if all funds could be deposited by 4 May 2021 into the respective accounts listed below. We distribute 100% of funds collected and do not levy any administration fees. All our members render their services voluntarily. We encourage our youth to come and support us with the distribution.Please support these noble causes for the pleasure of Allah (SWT).

Let us make every effort to continue connecting and immersing ourselves in the lessons the Quran holds for us, so that these words of Allah (SWT) permeate our lives always. Let us also remain extremely vigilant as a possible third wave has been forecast. We beseech Allah (SWT) to protect us so that we are granted the opportunity to maximise the blessings we can reap in the auspicious month of Ramadan, In Shaa Allah. While our masajid are open this year (albeit with limitations), the vulnerable should take all the necessary precautions to protect themselves.

This year we will employ the same successful logistical approach in respect of Fitra, Food and Orphan parcel distribution as we did last year. I once again call on you to support these initiatives. It is only through your...
