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 Sayed Mogamat Peters, born and raised in Kramat Faure/Macassar Cape Town, completed his Islamic Education at Darul Uloom New Castle. He is now a father of 5 and Imam of the Sandvlei Muslim Jamaa.

Imam Peters has a deep love for deen and combines his knowledge of Islam with the background he has in family counselling and drug rehabilitation to address the many social problems present in the community.

Dedicated to working with and helping the youth Imam Peters runs a youth group and many youth activities through the masjid. He hopes to make a lasting and impactful difference in his community centred around love for Allah and His messenger. He serves the community further in the following roles:

• Daily Salah
• Friday Khutbah
• Afternoon Madrassah
• Nikah Ceremonies
• Janazah
• Hajj Classes
• Full time Hifdh Classes
• Youth Activities & Programs
• Extensive Community Counselling 

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.
