The Jalsah was organised with the intenon of paying tribute and honouring the long-me serving Imaams, Muadhins and Employees that have served the LSMA and Muslim com- munity of Lenasia South over the last three decades. The guest speaker of the evening was Maulana Moosa Akoodie Saheb damat barakaatuhu, a senior Aalim of our country and khalifah of Ml Zulfiqaar Naqshbandi.

Amongst the points Maulana also menoned were of acknowledgement and gra- tude. As Muslims, it is important to acknowledge and show gratude to a fellow Muslim and as Maulana pointed out from the Hadith of Rasullulah sallahu alayhi wa sallam : He who is not grateful to his fellow man is not grateful to Allah This occasion was to be a means of acknowledging and showing gratude to those who have served our Muslim community relessly in the last three decades. Maulana Shabier Khan, Ml Abdullah Sayed, Ml Abu Bakr Cajee, Ml Yusuf Sarigat, Hafiz Mohammed Vaid, Shk Moosa Qasim and Br Sulaiman each received an honorary award for their tremendous service and efforts in serving the community and the LSMA.

We ask Allah Ta’ala that He those who give to our community the best of this world and the best of Aakhirah and grant them strength to connue the good work they endeavour to do. Ameen. Three levels of Fasng The three levels of fasng, as delineated by the great twelſth century scholar, Ibn Qudaamah al- Maqdisi: Level One: This is the most basic level of fasng, and it is to refrain from the desires of the stomach and private parts. In other words, to refrain from food, drink and sexual relaons. This is the minimum requirement of our fasng. Level Two: In addion to complying with the minimum requirements, we lower our gaze and prevent our tongues, hands, feet, hearing, eyes and the rest of our body parts from comming sinful acts. Level Three: This highest level of fasng is reached by fulfilling the requirements of the first and second levels, as well as striving to pull our hearts away from yearning aſter the world and its affairs, and all those thoughts that distance us from Allah(SWT). Masjid Abu Bakr Renovaons Renovaons at Musjid Abubakr is nearing compleon. Two families from our locality are busy with the renovaons. We would also like to thank Moulana Abu Bakr Cajee for his efforts in organizing these renovaons.
