The Quran in Sesotho: Bringing Allah's Words to Southern Africa
Ending 28 Feb, 2025
For many Sesotho-speaking Muslims, this campaign represents more than a translationââ¬âit is an opportunity to connect with their Creator in a deeply personal way.
The Quran in Sesotho: Bringing Allahââ¬â¢s Words to Southern Africa Â
This Rajab, join Islamic Dawah Movement of Southern Africa (IDMSA) in a profound mission to bring the Holy Quran to life for Sesotho-speaking communities across Southern Africa. With your help, we aim to raise R200 000 to print and distribute 2,000 Qurans in Sesotho, giving millions the opportunity to connect with the words of Allah (SWT) in their native language.
For just $6, you can sponsor a Quran and illuminate a path to spiritual understanding and guidance for generations to come.
Â
Â
Why Sesotho Qurans Are Needed
Â
Sesotho is spoken by over 7 million people in Southern Africa, primarily in Lesotho, South Africa, and Botswana. However, many Muslims in these regions lack access to Qurans translated into their native language. This gap leaves countless individuals yearning for a deeper connection with the Quran, its teachings, and the beauty of Islam.
For many Sesotho-speaking communities, the Quran in Arabic or other widely available languages can feel inaccessible due to language barriers. By providing translations in Sesotho, we can bridge this gap, empowering communities to learn, implement, and share the message of Allah (SWT).
Â
A Testimony from a Recipient of the Sesotho Quran:
Â
"As-salamu alaykum, I am a Sesotho-speaking Muslim, and for many years, I longed to understand the Quran in my own language. When I received the Quran in Sesotho, it opened doors to a deeper connection with Islam and Allah (SWT). I now feel closer to my Creator and can better apply the teachings of the Quran in my daily life."
