ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable activities
The 49th Annual URS Mubarak was held at the Darbar Unique Centre during March 2023.
Ramadan was also a very emotionally filled month with special prayers being held for the good health and Safety of His Holiness, whose physical presence and golden words were greatly missed by all those Devotees and Attendees.
We continued with our burial charitable work in order to commence with the preliminary planning processes and collate some feedback from the council in order to allow a future application submission. We had some excellent support from our devotees and donors to assist with this 1st stage. As always, we also celebrated the Birth of our beloved Prophet Mohammed (peace and blessings be upon him) with many people attending the function to listen to the Message and the Life of our Prophet Mohammed (peace and blessings be upon him).
A Naat Programme (expression of love and praises) and langar was served to all those who made this event a success. Various smaller spiritual gatherings were also held during the important Islamic months and in particular during Ramadhaan (fasting month) where the arrangements to break the fast was provided every day. Eid, marking the end of the fasting month was celebrated where the young children under supervision were encouraged to cook and provide food to those who live near the Darbar Unique Centre area.
We aim to strive for equality, respect, love and caring for all in all walks of life and peace around the world.
During July we had various discussions and talks on the HAJ Pilgrimage to MAKKA. This Eid marks the Festival of Sacrifice. This encourages us to submit to the will of Our Creator, Allah. As practiced by Abraham, willingness to sacrifice his son Ishmael.
