IDM, through its network of Masaajid and Islamic Centers, as well as through its close
co-operation with grass-roots based sister organizations in South and Southern Africa, serviced thousands of Muslims in South Africa during this sacred and holy month of Ramadaan. This service included meals, distribution of food hampers, and disbursement of Zakaat-ul-Fitr.

[4] OTHER ASPECTS OF THE PROGRAMME
Alhamdullilah, Taraweeh Salaah was performed at all IDM Centers. It was necessary to source out experienced Hufaaz to lead Taraweeh Salaaah. At some centres, students performed Imamat as part of their training in their Hifz classes in this blessed month.
Once again, IDM accommodated about 120 promising young adults from our new Muslim communities during the month of Ramadaan at some Centers.
Borders at the centres were encouraged to perform supererogatory deeds such as Lailatul Qiyaam (Tahajjud Salaah), tilawatul Quran and Zikr, as a means to bringing them closer to their Creator and uplifting their spirituality and Imaan.
As mentioned above, several of the IDM Islamic Community Centres accommodated a total of 120 boarders. The Hifz Classes were part of this Ramadaan programme. This was necessary to the learners to improve their experience in recitation when performing Imamat.
Study groups (Halaqa) were strengthened to enable newly reverted Muslims better understanding of Islam and fasting.
This important occasion of Lailatul Qadr was observed in all our areas of operation with the average attendance exceeding the usual number during the other nights of Ramadaan.
Eid Salaah was performed at all the IDM Islamic Community Centres. Men, women, youth and children attended the Eid Salaah and programme in several centres. Snacks and full meals were served at the respective centers.
About R 11,000.00 ($ 785.00) of Zakaat ul Fitr was disbursed in cash during this period to needy recipients.

[6] CONCLUSION
The IDM Ramadaan Iftaar Saa'im (Feed the Fasting) Programme was conducted primarily in historically disadvantaged areas of Southern Africa, mainly amongst new Muslim reverts. In these communities, unemployment, poverty levels and negative social behaviors are very high.
This Programme highlights the compassionate and humanitarian aspect of Islam. This, together with a host of other factors, has great dawah implications in the IDM areas of operation.
IDM wishes to thank you for contributing to the success of its South Africa Ramadaan Iftaar-Saa'im Programme, 1440 (May/June 2019).
And all Praise belongs to Allah Ta'ala, the Lord of the Worlds!
