“The one who recites the Qur’an and the one who listens to it have an equal share in the reward.”
Prophet Muhammad (s)

Salaamun Alaykum,
On behalf of the Al-Haadi Management Committee, we wish all of you Mahe Ramadan Mubarak. We pray that everyone has a healthy and spiritually uplifting month and that we can all benefit from the blessings and rewards of this month.
We are saddened by the passing away today of Marhum Shiraz Abdulrasul Noormohammed, a dedicated Al-Haadi Study Centre volunteer who served with us in past years as a Teacher and Director of Operations. He was a lover of Ahlul Bayt (a) who was involved in community service where ever he lived. He was very helpful, generous and kind hearted and he will be missed. May Allah (swt) grant him a place with His chosen ones and may He grant the family and friends sabr and strength during this difficult time. Illahi ameen.
