Open Day summary
Bald Hills Masjid Taqwa Open Day
Alhamdulillah our Masjid open day held on 23rd July 2011 was a great success, we got about 22 visitors mainly from a local Church, including their Cardinal and his wife. The allocated time was from 10:30 am to 12:30 pm and all of them came at 10:30am and had a good time, so much so that they all left at 12:45pm. It was a lovely day enjoyed by all and was lovely to see people from all ages and backgrounds share this day. We should definitely make a habit of it and build relationships within the community.
The program started with an excellent documentary movie of our Prophet Muhammad (pbuh).
Soon after the documentary we had a tea/coffee break which allowed our brothers and sisters to mingle with the visitors and answer queries, we also had a Masjid tour explaining Wudu area, prayer hall, Mimbar, ladies section etc. After these events our Imam, Mufti Junaid Akbar delivered an excellent talk on Divine religions and people of the book.
Thereafter the local Church representative Mr. Garth Read gave a short speech about interfaith activities. He also mentioned that how the Muslim community wants to interact with other communities in Australia and that the Masjid is open to all.
This was followed by vote of thanks delivered by Brother Taslim Baksh.
We also had Hena painting for the girls and our sister Rizia Ebrahim was very busy painting the hands of a few children and ladies, we thank sister Rizia for her efforts.
We had many books, information brochures and CD’s for free distribution and Alhamdulillah by the end of the day many of these were gone.
Finally we had a yummy sausage sizzle which everyone enjoyed and Brother Reza Ebrahim did a great job in cooking the sausages.
We take this opportunity to thank our main organisers of this event, brothers Mohideen Thassim and Reza Ebrahim. Our thanks also must go to Brother Ismail Ebrahim who came up with this idea of open day and worked in the background to make this event happen. Also we would like to thank our volunteers (brothers and sisters) from the community who helped on that day.
Insha’Allah we want to continue this event and many other events in the future. Please make Dua for us.
