Ashara 1418H Official Web Page

Ashara 1418H Official Web Page

With the Raza Mubarak of Aqa Maula (TUS), a website has been created for Ashara Mubraka 1418 H for the benefit of those mumineen who were unable to attend Ashara in Surat.

The website mainly contains the iqtebaasaat (summary of the day's waaz). It also contains a Nasihat section with the Nasihat's of different Hudaad Kiram prayed everyday at the waaz.

Please e-mail Yusuf Goolamabbas for username and password for access to this site. Please e-mail the webmasters of the site directly for comments, suggestions, and donations of photos or other items that may be suitable for inclusion.
