BARMASI (ONE YEAR) MAJLIS IN MEMORY OF MARHUM AZADALI JAFFERALI KASSAM

August 2, 2020 Tahsin Kassam

On Sunday 2 August 2020, a majalis in commemoration of the first anniversary of Marhum Azadbhai returning to Allah (swt) was streamed live via YouTube - majalis were being held in this way due to Government Guidelines and restrictions in relation to counter Covid-19 measures. In light of this, part 11/14 features a virtual visit to Woodcock Hill Cemetery (Northwood) where Marhum Azadbhai is buried.

In the absence of physical congregations, it was encouraging to see how well the community has adapted to online majalis during these months. Alhamdulilah, the majalis received over 800 playbacks on the evening it was aired. In case you missed it, the full majlis is available to watch on YouTube - the fourteen parts are presented here, in this blog post.

Please recite a Suratul Fateha for all marhumeen.

HUJJAT SENIORS WEDNESDAY PROGRAMME DEDICATED TO MARHUM AZADALI JAFFERALI KASSAM

September 18, 2019 Tahsin Kassam

The weekly KSIMC of London Hujjat Seniors programme, held on 18 September 2019, was dedicated in loving memory of Marhum Azadali Jafferali Kassam. The programme was attended by members, both gents and ladies, from several Jamaats including Leicester, Birmingham and Peterborough.

The vibrant atmosphere was illuminated with inspiring recitations as well as a lecture by Mawlana Kalbe Abbas of Hujjat Stanmore - this was based on living life with awareness, being conscious of death while placing full trust in Allah (swt) as the believer is unknowing about when or where death will approach him.

Undoubtedly, these elders of Hujjat Stanmore - that are the mothers and fathers of the community continue to demonstrate, through their weekly gatherings, the very essence of sisterhood and brotherhood that has set the strong foundation on which this prosperous community has been built upon.

“Work for this world as if you will live forever and work for the hereafter as if you will die tomorrow.” - Imam Ali ibn Abu Talib (as)

SPEECH BY SULTANBHAI KERMALLI @ PETERBOROUGH JAMAAT

August 7, 2019 Tahsin Kassam

Bismilahi Rahman Rahim
Respected brothers in Islam Salaam Alykum
I am thankful to Peterborough Seniors to give me an opportunity to speak to my brothers from various Jamaats who are present here today.
Today our brother Marhum Azadbhai Kassam was to stand here to deliver this speech. Alas he is no longer with us. Allah (swt) in his mercy has decided to take him away from us. We pay our sincere condolences to Marhum’s family and to give them strength to bear the loss. May Allah (swt) elevate his positon among the Chauda Masoumeen (as). May I request you all to say Sura-e Fateha for Marhum Azadbhai and all our Marhumeen
Azadbhai was a very humble man, full of enthusiasm and joy. He served the community faithfully for many years as Secretary, Mukhi, and Chairman of Hujjat Senior Citizen. His devotion to serve the community is unappalled. He was always striving to bring unity in the community. During my chairmanship of Hujjat Senior Citizen he was unselfishly helping and advising us. Despite his ill health he never refused to help Hujjat Senior Citizen. One could always rely on him to volunteer to attend meetings to do with Senior Citizen. We will all miss him very much.
When my granddaughter Maleeka heard of the demise of Azadbhai She called me and said who is going to recite dua during Holy month of Ramadhan when we break our fast. You can see even children are going to miss him.

Hujjat Seniors - Homage to Marhum Azadbhai Kassam - Quran Gujarati Tafsir – al – Baqarah (30 - 34)

July 31, 2019 Tahsin Kassam

On 31 July 2019, Dr Sibtain Panjwani delivered a talk at Hujjat Seniors in tribute to Azadbhai Kassam. The talk, in Gujarati, was based on the Tafseer of Surah al-Baqarah.

“Every book has its objectives. The objective of the Quran is to make man aware of the Creation plan of Allah swt. It is to tell man why God created this world? What is the purpose of settling him/her on earth? What is required of him prior to his/her death? What is going to confront him/her after death?”

This talk is a part of a series of lectures from “Awakening Project for the KSIMC” - https://bit.ly/2GV7XD5
