The Reflections are thoughtful insights into everyday matters that affect the spirituality and progress of believers. Believers are continuously growing, like the tree described in the Quran, like as seed-produce that puts forth its sprout, then strengthens it, so it becomes stout and stands firmly on its stem (48:29). It is hoped that the Reflections will nurture good growth and create awareness of the obstacles that prevent growth.

When distress befalls man he supplicates to Us [lying] on his side, sitting, or standing; but when We remove his distress, he passes on as if he had never supplicated Us concerning the distress that had befallen him. Thus that which they do is made fair seeming to the extravagant ones.

(Sura Yunus, 10:12)

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
