Madrassah
Mustadafin has 3 madaris which operates daily in areas such as Khayalitsha, Delft, Crossroads, Palican Park and Sherwood Park in Manenberg. With over 250 students. Madrassa classes run from Monday to Thursdays and the ECD 5 days for young and older students. Saturdays for adults.
Our Islamic curriculum consist of:
- Mustadafin Centres run Thikrs on Thursday & Sunday
- For years Muslim children from destitute areas have been escorted to buy clothes for Eid. Sponsored by a group in Laudium
- Students are taught how to perform Taraweeh Salaah
- Full Taraweegh program operate in all our centres during Ramadan.
- Iftaar dinners are run at the various centres. This is done in all areas where the poor have little or no access to meals. Mustadafin feeds through the year as well.
In conjunction to more classical training, Islamic & Leadership Based Camps for the Youth are established.
They encourage the ideals of the Holy Quran sent to Prophet Muhammad SWS and his Sunnah for the benefit of mankind.
Islamic training was introduced as a holistic approach to educate, introduce Tauheed so that they can appreciate nature and encourage them to perform the fard salaah five times daily. This has been a first for many of our madrassa students because even though they are taught in madrassa, it’s not always practised at home.
We want to build further on the syllabus of our Islamic education within our ECD and madaris so that our children, Youth and parents can be self-sufficient and self-reliant in both deen and life.
Pre-Abet
Written words comes to life for the unschooled
For the past 29 years the Foundation has been teaching illiterate adults to read and write through their adult literacy program, Pre-Abet. Most of the people are from the ages 17 to 60. The program has helped over 1000 adults. Participants attend classes twice a week, 3 hour sessions. They are taught English, Numeracy, Literacy, Afrikaans, basic Mathematics and how to write letters. Counselling is also offered when they need it because of the social problems the women face.
