Doha, Qatar: The Sheikh Abdulla Bin Zaid Al Mahmoud Islamic Cultural Center organised two lectures for the Malayalam-speaking Muslim community, which were attended by nearly 1,600 people in total.
The Center aims to enhance religious knowledge among non-Arabic speakers and to provide programmes that suit the diverse needs of these communities.
The preacher and lecturer, Hassan Kollamannil, spoke to 400 professionals from various medical and engineering sectors. The lecture, titled “Busy Lives and the Quest for Serenity,” addressed the importance of peace, tranquillity, and trusting in Allah amidst the hustle and bustle of daily life.
He emphasised the necessity of making sincere intentions, persevering in worship, and achieving excellence at work, highlighting it as a means to earn the love of Allah Almighty.
Additionally, at the Sheikh Abdulla Bin Zaid Al Mahmoud Islamic Cultural Center’s headquarters, the preacher addressed 1,200 men and women on the blessing of security. In a lecture titled “Islam: A Source of Security and Peace of Mind,” he explained that Islam is a religion that fosters psychological tranquility and self-discipline, which in turn reduces crime and spreads peace and security.
These lectures are part of an ongoing series of lectures organised by the Center to address various topics tailored to different expatriate communities. The Center hosts regular lectures and invites preachers speaking nine languages: Urdu, Malayalam, Tamil, Bengali, Pashto, Filipino, Malay, Oromo, and Amharic, in addition to weekly jurisprudence (Fiqh) lessons in English held after the Friday prayer.
