Mahe Rajab marks the beginning of the spiritual season of every believer ending with the end of the fasting month of Holy Ramadhan with the Eid Al Fitr. These three months (Mahe Rajab, Mahe Sha'abaan & Mahe Ramadhan) are unmatched in their importance. Praise be to the Almighty and thanks to Him for granting us yet another opportunity to cleanse ourselves of our sins and oversights.

The Holy Prophet (SAW) has said: “ Rajab is a great month of Allah, unmatched by any other month in the respect and significance (accorded to it); war with the infidels during this month is prohibited; Verily, Rajab is Allah’s month, Sha’aban my month and Ramadan the month of my Ummah; whosoever fasts a day in the month of Rajab will be granted the great reward of Ridwan (an angel in heaven); the wrath of Allah shall be distanced and a door of the Hell shall be closed.”

The Bab-ul-Ilm Library is a modern library setup primarily for the Shia Ithna-Asheri community of Dar-es-Salaam, Tanzania. It has been established in the Haji Daya Walji building (Tabligh Building), a stone's throw away from the main KSIJ mosque.

While the connotation from the name of the library (Bab-ul-Ilm) would be of a purely Islamic library, it is much more. It has materials in all fields of life, from picture books for toddlers to secular subjects like politics, psychology, and philosophy.

Madrasah al-Zahra (‘a) is an institute of higher Islamic learning that offers a two-year advanced level Islamic course that is tailor-made to help different groups of ladies in the community. The target groups included current and future teachers, zakirahs (orators), professionals, mothers and those who intended to go for further studies. We intended to ensure that, though we would follow a course similar to the introductory level of hawza, we would also include subjects that would fulfill the community needs.
We also provide specific modules for certain specialized groups e.g. Islamic Banking and Medical Ethics. Students who cannot attend the entire two-year program are permitted to attend specific modules that would be relevant to their fields of study or their interests. More
