Speaking at Moyeni, the Guest of Honour Haji Hassan A. M. Jaffer recalled the Hadith of the Holy Prophet (saww) that when a person dies, his account books of deeds is closed shut except for the three things which he might have done in his life time.

|
|
|
|

|
*Leave behind a charity that continues to benefit mankind after his departure; *Bequeath knowledge that continues to benefit mankind after his departure; and *Leave behind virtuous progeny who would pray for the deceased parents. |

In that spirit, he lauded the donors for their contributions, the Muallims and the teachers for their services in training the children and urged elders to work in harmony with the Muallims and the teachers to develop virtuous progeny who in turn would remember them after their death.
