CLAREMONT MAIN ROAD MOSQUE 170th ANNIVERSARY

On Sunday 27th October 2024 we celebrated the 170th year anniversary of Claremont Main Road Masjid. We gathered to express our gratitude to former imams, administrators and custodians of the masjid. The gathering commenced with the completion of the Khatam al-Qur’an, followed by dhikr led by the Al-Amien Dhikr Jama’ah and concluded with thur salah and attendees were invited to stay for lunch.
Short inspiring talks rich in historical detail were delivered from Abdud-Daiyaan Petersen and Professor Aslam Fataar. Continuing our tradition of honouring our elders and giving their proverbial and literal flowers to them while they are still with us, we were blessed with the presence of elders: Aunty Jany Saban (96), Aunty Fatima Ganief (95), and Aunty Mymona Galant who turned 85 on Sunday! It is our great privilege to honour them in their lifetime Alhamdullilah.
Long may CMRM continue to be a mosque that our community is drawn to, a place of both worship and learning and justice-seeking for all Insha'Allah ameen.
Please watch in full.
