HONOUR THE IMAM...

By supporting the Imam Development Program - which strives to enhance the skills of the Imam making him a Greater Asset to YOU.

Meet the Imam

Imam Farooq Chilunga, Hafidhul Quran, was born, raised in Blantyre, Malawi. He completed his studies at Kanjedza Islamic Centre. A father of four who is based in Uitenhage, Eastern Cape.

He is motivated by the hadith of our beloved Rasulullah which teaches, "The best among you is the one who learns and teaches the Quran." He is passionate about reciting Quran and loves to find his community reciting the Book of Allah in the manner in which it was revealed. His goal is for his Quran lessons to inspire love in the hearts of the people in his community for the Book of Allah. Imam Farouk Chilunga is responsible for:

  • Daily Salah
  • Friday Khutbah
  • Daily Madrassah
  • Janazah
  • Adult Classes
  • Quran Classes
  • Counselling 
  • Prison Visits

 

How does the Imam Development Program assist him?

As the leader of the community, the Imam is not only tasked with leading the 5 daily prayers but is responsible for introducing our children to Islam, advising our youth, patching up broken marriages, feeding the hungry, guiding the sinner to find absolution, giving hope to the hopeless; all with the ultimate aim of reconnecting everyone back to their Lord. Sadly, the men and women who are the heart and soul of the masjid; responsible for leading it and its congregation are many times neglected, under-resourced, under-skilled, overworked and overwhelmed by the magnitude of the task on their shoulders.

With the Imam Development Program, Imams receive a financial & development package. They receive targeted training and skills development focusing on key areas such as - Iman & Ihsan, Further Education studies, Public Speaking & engagement, Counselling & Problem-solving skills, and Essential emergency response care. All these contribute to enhancing the skill set of the Imam, adequately preparing him to deal with the needs of his community.

IDP also takes care of the Imam so he can take care of YOU! 

We support the enrolled Imams financially, physically and spiritually on a continued 24-month quality development to ensure the imam's dignity, quality of life and peace of mind.
