FEDERATION OF KHOJA SHIA ITHNA-ASHERI JAMATS OF AFRICA P.O. BOX No. 1085 – MOMBASA
Honourable Kulthumbai Abdalla Khimjee Dar-es-Salaam
The services you have been rendering as a Zakire Hussain for years are commendable. Our ladies sections have been in search of such a fountain and are now able to quench their thirst (of religion).
The mode of your lectures (sermon) which are frank, direct, open hearted, easy to understand have actually given an upliftment to our ladies for which the credit goes to your efforts. We have lacked in conducting religious classes for our ladies but your services have met our requirement. Our Community is very lucky to have someone of your calibre.
In appreciation to this the Community is proud to present you a “Fatemi Medal” and we also announce (declare) that you are the first one to have received this Star.
By the Wasila of the 14 infallibles we invoke to the Almighty to bestow you a cheerful and prosperous life.
From servant Mohamedali Meghji – President – Federation of K.S.I. J of Africa
3rd Shabaan 1385 27th November 1965.
