BISMILLAHI RAHMANI RAHEEM, ALHAMDULLILAH!!!!! ALHAMDULILLAH!!!! ALHAMDULLILLAH!!!!! MY RESPECTED ELDERS AND BROTHERS IN ISLAM, WE GIVE THANKS TO ALLAH FOR MAKING EASY FOR US TO BE ABLE TO UNDERTAKE THE EID-FEAST SUCCESSFULLY. ALHAMDULILLAH WE GOT OVER 150 CHILDREN SINCE SOME OF THE MOSQUE COULDNT PRESENT THEIR CHILDREN BECAUSE OF TRANSPORTATION. IN ATTENDANCE TO GRACE THE OCCASION WAS THE DIRECTOR FOR THE MADINA ISLAMIC UNIVERSITY FOR QURAN IN ACCRA (DR. TAMIM-DAARE), THE MADINA CHIEF IMAM (SHEIK ADBULLAH) AND HIS FIRST DEPUTY (SHEIK SAASA). ALSO IN ATTENDANCE WERE IMAMS FROM THE VARIOUS MOSQUE. THE GATHERING WAS ADDRESSED BY SHEIK ADBULLAH AND WAS CHAIRED BY DR. TAMIM. IN HIS ADDRESS, HE TOOK OUT THROUGH THE VARIOUS STAGE OF HIS PERSONAL LIFE AS AN ORPHAN (HE LOST THE FATHER WHEN CRAWLING). IT WAS INDEED AN INSPIRING ADDRESS. MY RESPECTED BROTHERS AND SISTERS, I COULDNT IMAGINE HOW IT FEELS LIKE BEEN AN ORPHAN UNTIL I INTERACTED WITH THESE CHILDREN ON THE DAY OF THE PROGRAM. VERY YOUNG BROTHERS AND SISTERS WHO OFTEN TURN AROUND AND ASK "WHERE IS DADDY OR WHEN IS DADDY RETURNING". WE NEED TO STEP UP EFFORT TOWARD HELPING THESE CHILDREN. ALLAH TAALA HAS MENTIONED IT SEVERAL TIMES IN THE HOLY QURAN OF HOW WE SHOULD PAY ATTENTION TO THEM. ALHAMDULILAH, WE GOT ENOUGH CONTRIBUTION TO ORGANISE THE PROGRAM FROM BELOVED BROTHERS AND SISTERS, YES FROM AMONG OURSELVES DOMESTICALLY. THE MESSAGE THEREFORE IS THAT WHEN WELL ORGANIZED WE CAN DO ALOT TO HELP OUR COMMUNITIES. SO LET COME TOGETHER TO DO MORE OF SUCH. IT TAKES LITTLE BUT THE REWARD IS MAGNIFICENT. MAY ALLAH BLESS WE ALL AND MAKE IT EASY FOR US SO THAT WE CAN ORGANISE A BETTER ONE DURING EID-ADHA THAN WE HAVE EVER DONE. JAZAAKALLAHU KHAIRAN. MAY ALLAH FORGIVE US AND CORRECT OUR INTENTIONS AND MISTAKES. SALAMU ALAIKUM.
