Eid Message from JHESS President

بسم هللا الرحمن الرحيم
اللّهُ أكبر اللّهُ أكبر اللّهُ أكبر

ّDear Member

Four weeks ago we commenced Ramadan with great trepidation, with the COVID-19 virus casting a pall as we continued in lockdown mode.

With the grace of Allah, we have endured these trying times to the best of our abilities and now feel a sense of great sadness as the blessed month of Ramadan – the month of piety, patience, mercy, and forgiveness – draws to an end, taking with it its beautiful days and its fragrant nights.

While the day of Eid is a day of immense happiness, we cannot remove the pervading sense of sadness that touches our hearts at the thought of us still being in lockdown, unable to attend Eid Salah in congregation, unable to pay our respects to the families who lost their loved ones, or meet our family and friends on this joyous day of Eid.

The JHESS family remembers the following families who will be celebrating Eid ul Fitr without their loved ones:
The Firfiray family
The Khan Pathan family
The Pophlonker families
The Sonday familes
The Mowzer families
The Rawoot family
The Bondare family
The Koorowlay family
The Datay family
The Aklekar families
The Ashtiker family
The Murtuza family
The Janjirker family

We pray that Allah, in His boundless Kindness and Mercy grant the Marhoom Jannatul Firdaus and continue to guide the families during these difficult times, Ameen.

We also congratulate our flowers of the future who have completed fasting for the month of Ramadan for the first time. We make dua that they become upright Muslims who fly the flag of Islam high and espouse the values of JHESS, In Shaa Allah. Eid Mubarak to our little ones.

I also wish to express my sincere gratitude to every single Executive member who has worked tirelessly to ensure that our COVID-19 Fund, our 2020 Bursary Fund, our Zakah & Fitra Fund and our Orphan Fund achieved the targets set, with the blessings of Allah. We were able to dispense these funds to the needy and deserving within the prescripts of our Islamic obligation and duty. All Praise be to Allah!

This was made possible through the generosity of our donors and benefactors. We once again express our heartfelt gratitude to our well-wishers, donors and sponsors. May Allah Ta’ala reward you abundantly, Ameen and Jazakummullah.

We take this opportunity to wish the Muslim Ummah a most joyous and spiritually uplifting Eid.

Eid Mubarak. Taqabbala Allahu Minna wa Minkum.

Have a blessed Eid and may Allah accept from us all, Ameen

Stay Home, Stay Safe, Stay Healthy.

Yours Sincerely

Mohamed Salie SC
PRESIDENT
