In the Name of Allah, God Most Merciful, Most Compassionate





























In the Name of Allah, God Most Merciful, Most Compassionate, this is the proposed Islamic Centre of Masjid Jamek Bandaraya Kuala Lumpur.

This building contains the hall of the mosque and I plan to turn it into a fully functional Islamic Centre of Knowledge and Understanding of Islam, in this part of the capital city of Malaysia.

It already has library cabinets in place, plus tables and chairs.

Insya Allah, with the help of my fellow Muslims, I will see to it that audio visual facilities are added to it to make it a proper centre, able to cater to the needs of our mosque's visitors, both Non Muslims and Muslims alike. Insya Allah.















This meaningful scene shows a father leading his son in prayer to Almighty Allah, Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.

In the sanctuary of the cool, marbled floors of the oldest mosque in the heart of the sprawling metropolitan capital city of Kuala Lumpur, such a sight is a panacea to one's heart.















To this blessed masjid, comes many a visitor and tourist from all over the world, curious to learn about what is it about Islam, that makes hundreds of thousands of people embrace this faith that is said to be oppressive, backward and out of touch with today's modern lifestyles yet so many go flock to the very centres of Islamic Knowledge such as this mosque amongst the millions of mosques all over the world!

The Islamic Centre which I have proposed to be set up in the Masjid Jamek Bandaraya Kuala Lumpur is intended to cater to the visitors to this mosque who have not been properly attended to all these hundred over years since the mosque has been established!















Not an easy task, I assure you. To have a fully functional centre, I need to have the full blessings of the mosque's Administration Committee and also a dedicated team of volunteers, capable of running the centre from now on if and when I am no longer alive on this Earth.

I am preparing the proper working papers on this project after getting the green light from the Admin Committee of the mosque last week, Alhamdulillah!

I have received about half of the biodata's of the 15 volunteers so far and will need to get the balance from the rest of the blessed Muslims and Muslimats who have volunteered to run this centre!

In these times when people complain of being too busy to even break into a smile, here are 15 blessed souls who have sent in their applications to be the first ever team of volunteers for this centre!

May Allah bless these kind souls and sincere folks who have answered my call to help me run this centre and be the pioneer Da'ee's and Da'eeyah's of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala and take part in the most noble of efforts on Earth, that is to help share their knowledge and faith of Islam with all those who come daily to this blessed mosque wanting to learn about Islam!

To the following Muslims I express my sincere gratitude and appreciations:
  • Brother Zulkifli bin Ahmad,
  • Brother Mohd Suhaimi bin Abdul Aziz,
  • Brother Wan Adnan bin Wan Chik,
  • Brother Zainal Abidin bin Baharom,
  • Brother Mohd Nazri bin Mohd Yusof,
  • Brother Abdun Nizar bin Ahmad,
  • Brother Hasni Marjumat,
  • Brother Ismat Abdul Qayyum bin Jamaludin,
  • Sister Mrs.Marlina binti Amir Hamzah,
  • Brother Ganeematullah Baharudin,
  • Sister Asmah binti Ibrahim,
  • Brother Zainudin bin Hj Ismail,
  • Sister Rusmimy binti Rosli
  • Sister Noorasyikin binti Asrorie
Ya Allah, bless all these wonderful people, Your servants who have answered your call and commandment as in Surah An Nahl, Chapter 16 Verse 125, Al Quran Al Kareem

" Invite (all Mankind O Muhammad Sallalahu Alaihi Wassallam) to the Way of your Lord (Islam) with Wisdom and Beautiful Preaching and Reason (discuss, argue, debate) with them ( Non Muslims and Muslims -deviant, innovators, liberals, alike) in a Way that is better. Truly, your Lord knows best who has gone astray from His Path, and He is the Best Knower of those who are guided."

May this Islamic Centre come into being, befitting it's status as a centre of learning and understanding for us , the Children and Descendants of Our Father, the Prophet Adam Alaihis Salam ( May Allah be Pleased with him) ! Ameen.
