The ‘DAD’ team comprised four Ulama members of Darul Ihsan Centre.
Maulana Zakaria Murchie, a drug and substance abuse researcher and specialist and Maulana Mohamed Ameer, a social and family affairs coordinator, presented a series of lectures/talks to learners at the Pioneer Primary, Williameils, Benoni Muslim and Springs Muslim schools.
In their talks Maulana Murchie focused on the harsh and real statistics of drug and substance abuse in our society and Maulana Ameer addressed all on the negative and destructive impact of this scourge on our families and communities.
Talks were followed-up with Jumuah at the Lakefield Masjid, Vilalisa Masjid, Newmodder Masjid and the Jame Masjid in Actonville.
The team also interacted with members of the Benoni Muslim Charity Organisation (BMCO) in a view to network proactively on matters of drug and substance abuse in our communities.
Three programmes were concurrently hosted for ladies in Mackenzie Park, Rynsoord and Actonville.
A post Esha public programme was also presented - with Q & A session - at the Mackenzie Park Masjid.
On Saturday morning the ‘DAD’ team hosted a community workshop and a Q & A session at the BMJ Madrasah Hall.
Darul Ihsan Centre thanks all esteemed members of the greater Benoni Muslim community for their facilitation and coordination of an initiative which is at the heart of many individuals and families who are experiencing this challenge in their lives.
May Allah Ta’ala make it easy for those whose lives have been impacted upon this scourge and protect us and our families from it.
