IUS [Islamic Unity Society - www.ius.org.uk]

Though IUS covers many areas of United Kingdom, but their activities in Cheadle, Cheshire (Greater Manchester) are worth mentioning. They held live English lectures for the youth. The lectures were delivered by visiting Sheikh Haji Usama Al-Attar of Vancouver, Canada. Haji's beautiful Qiraat of holy Quran, duas and majalis were the most admirable.

The participation by momineen was also overwhelming. The large hall was completely full by momineen, mominaat and children. The majalis started and finished on time in a very disciplined manner. Amazingly, children and mobile phones remained silent through out the lectures. The administrative team seemed to be in full control of events. They also had projector and screen for audience to read along the duas that were recited by the respected speaker. The lecture was also broadcasted live via internet. It may not be wrong to say that this was a character building experience for most. The messages were clear, and, seem to have affected the attendees. Congratulations to IUS management, the guest speaker, and the audiences.

Momineen.com highly recommends that all momineen and mominaat should become members of IUS, and support them in every possible way. InshAllah, this will be a good investment of money and time. To signup, please visit http://www.ius.org.uk/
