STATEMENT BY THE PRESIDENT:
O my brethren, as we are thrust into yet another
year whether we welcome
it or not let us confront
our shortcomings with honesty. We must strive
to be more compassionate, steadfast, and relentless
in our prayers and duas, for nothing else will save us from the abyss we create for ourselves.
We beg for the boundless mercy of Allah (the supreme) because we know our deeds are pitiful, our sins overwhelming, and our reliance on His unimaginable grace is our only hope for Jannah.
O Allah, forgive the heinous sins we commit again and again without shame. Purify our hearts, which are hardened with arrogance and neglect. Guide us with the light of Ali and Hussein, and grant us the severe patience we lack, the humility we refuse to embrace, and the piercing realisation of our approaching ominous akherat (our souls are
but in your hands) !!
Ya Ali, Ya Hussein.!!!
Br. Mahmood Padhani
"We are severely indebted to Allah (the Exalted) for being so kind & granting us good health with no issues & no problems".
"Any problems we might think we have - just
pales into insignificance"
"Praise be to Allah
(the Almighty) indeed
a great deal of praise."
All praise be to Allah,
Lord of the worlds, All praisebe to him with abundant & pure praise.
Ya Ali Ya Hussain !!!!
