From the Chairperson’s desk لسَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ Allah is Great Allah is Great Allah is Great Eid Mubarak to all On behalf of the JHESS Executive and Members, we wish you a blessed and joyous Eid Mubarak. We express our gratitude to Allah SWT for having blessed us to witness Ramadan 1444 and granted us the opportunity to share and care for one another. This year we had the opportunity to host 120 Orphans during the first week of Ramadan and through your generosity we distributed 748 Food Parcels to the most deserving recipients. We were inspired that we could share in the joy of 15 Children that fasted for the 1st time this year. May Allah continue to bless and guide them. We also acknowledge your contributions towards our Bursary Fund which is our Society’s flagship project supporting 23 students this year. We remain indebted to all our donors who have remained committed to supporting our various projects. We pray that Allah grants you an abundance of Baraka and Khair Ameen. Finally, we pray that Allah accepts all our good deeds in this month of Ramadan and continues to guide and bless us Insha’Allah. We wish you and your families Eid Mubarak!!

From the Chairperson’s desk Ramadan Mubarak 1444 ٱلسَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ At the outset, we wish to express our gratitude to Allah SWT for having blessed us with the glorious month of Ramadan 1444. Over the past three years with the COVID pandemic, we suffered from loss of lives and livelihoods for many families. We pray that Allah grants all our departed Marhooms Jannatul Firdaus Insha’allah. Families remain destitute and many are slowly recovering from the loss of lives and livelihoods. May Allah continue to show His infinite mercy on us and may we derive the maximum spiritual benefits of this auspicious month of Ramadan. During this difficult period, the JHESS fraternity has shown tremendous solidarity with the less fortunate and supported our initiatives with the highest commitment and sincerest empathy. We remain thankful and acknowledge your continued support. Whilst we have resumed some degree of normalcy we still remain cautious and have limited our social engagements. However, we have continued with our programs namely the provision of bursaries; distribution of food parcels; and assisting the orphans. This year we have sponsored bursaries again to 12 beneficiaries that we supported last year and 11 new applicants for the year 2023. Our Food Parcel campaign target for this year 2023 is +/- 1,500 food parcels. As you are aware the full amount contributed is distributed as we do this on a purely voluntary basis. We do not apply any administration fee. May Allah reward you and our members. Our Orphan committee provides provisions to +/- 220 orphans throughout the year in the form of school clothing; learning aids and stationary; food and...

بسم هللا الرحمن الرحيمنحمده ونصلي م على رسوله الكريم Dear MemberMuharram Mubarak to everyoneWe welcome Muharram 1443 within the midst of the 3rd wave with Cape Town being the epicentre.Over recent months many families have endured loss of lives of not one family member but multiple family members within days; this is certainly unprecedented in our lifetime.We pray that Allah grant all Marhoomeen Jannatul Firduas Ameen.We also appeal to you to follow the non-pharmaceutical protocols and get vaccinated sooner than later.Muharram is one of the four sacred months, a month that we should increase our thikrs, charity and goodness towards one another.In this month of Muharram we are also reminded of the sacrifices made by Imam Husain ibn Ali (RA) and his companions who were tragically martyred.We ask Allah to grant us the spirit of Imam Husain as we face the many challenges in countering the spread of the COVID 19 virus by remaining steadfast in our belief in Allah (SWT).Allah reminds us in Surah l-sharḥ (94:5), “Indeed, with every difficulty, comes relief.” He repeats it to emphasize the message. Allah demands us to turn all attention to Him and worship Him Alone.Have a Blessed New Year Mohamed Salie SCPRESIDENT10 August...
