Chairperson’s Muharram Message 1447

From the Chairperson’s desk Muharram Mubarak 1447/27 June 2025 لسَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ‎ As we bid farewell to the sacred season of Hajj and enter the blessed month of Muharram, we find ourselves once again at the threshold of a new Islamic year — a moment of reflection, renewal, and resolve. We congratulate those who were honoured to perform Hajj this year. May Allah accept their pilgrimage, purify their hearts, and allow them to return as new-borns in faith and purpose. For those who were not able to go, may Allah grant you the opportunity in the near future. Ameen Muharram is no ordinary month. It is a month of reverence, of history, and of pain. It is a timeless lesson in standing up against falsehood, no matter the cost. It reminds us of the eternal stand of Sayyiduna Husayn (RA) in Karbala — a stand not just against tyranny, but for truth, justice, and dignity. His sacrifice is not bound by time or geography. His courage echoes today in the hearts of the oppressed — from the besieged people of Gaza, who are facing an unrelenting genocide, to the silenced voices across Sudan, Somalia, Kashmir, Myanmar and beyond. We are living in a world dominated with lies, aggression, double standards and no respect for human values as the people of Iran has undergone in recent weeks with the unwarranted aggression of the Imperial forces. Jhess, a 109-year-old organisation of service and social responsibility is on the threshold of celebrating 110 years of service to our communities next year. Let us use these sacred days to draw closer to Allah, to... read more

May your pilgrimage be a source of inspiration and transformation for our communities.Eid ul-Adha is a time of sacrifice, reflection, and unity – a reminder of the unwavering faith of Prophet Ibrahim (AS) and the mercy of Allah. In this spirit, we are also compelled to remember those for whom this Eid will not bring festivity but continued suffering.Our hearts are with the oppressed people of Gaza, and with all those enduring pain and injustice across the world—in Sudan, Yemen, Syria, Kashmir, Rohingya, the Uyghurs, and all places afflicted by violence and displacement.We cannot celebrate fully while our brothers and sister’s bleed. We make du’a that Allah grants them relief, justice, and freedom.Let this Eid renew in us a spirit of gratitude, a resolve to stand for truth, support the oppressed, and embody the values of compassion and sacrifice in all we do.May your sacrifices be accepted, your prayers answered, and your hearts filled with peace.Eid Mubarak!!
