Temporary Hussaynia in a rental Townhouse, Nairobi, Kenya

Hussaynia in a rental townhouse, Nairobi, Kenya for 
Somali Speaking and Ethiopian Speaking Shia.
 May 15, 2020




We are going to rent a townhouse to use as Hussaynia for newly converted Shia of Sudan, Somali and Ethiopia. As we mentioned previously letter, there is high need of Establishment of Masjid Imam Hassan a.s. for Somali Speaking and Ethiopian Speaking Shia in Nairobi, KENYA.

By the time we are working for the establishment of the above project the rental townhouse, will help to have regular prayers, Majalises of Ahlul Bayt a.s. and increasing knowledge.

In brief, we are pleased to inform there is small group of both of the above community very active in promoting Jafariya School of thought.  Despite Shia-phobic hostility including violent attacks from their own families and wider Somali community, the group grew in number. They let a one room on Muyuyu lane off Jam Street in Eastleigh, Nairobi, from where they met secretly to learn about the history of Ahlul Bayt a.s every day after swalat al-asr. 

They later started coming out and opened social media pages on WhatsApp, Facebook and YouTube focusing mainly on Sunni-Shia comparative study and responding to anti-shia misconceptions and propaganda among the Somali community. This attracted more people, especially the youth, to Shiism. So the numbers of the follower of Imam Jafar Sadiq a.s. School is increasing gradually. 

Many Somali and Ethiopian are looking to meet thier own Ulema to discuss face to face about Holy Quran translation and Ahadith translation which is described favoring Sahaba rather than the close members of Holy Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. - The Ahlul Bayt a.s. or Itrah.

Therefore, it is our abolute responsiblity to support the above group in their struggle.

We decided that at least we rent a town house, which can be used as Hussaynia, Musalla, Library and Madressa until our establishment of Masjid Imam Hassan a.s. is achieved.

The cost of One Year rent is around $6,000 and also we will need some sposors of Majalises of 12 Imams as the tradition of Shia Islam. The Month of Muharram is nearing we must also sponsor full baraka (Tabarruk, Niyaz) for the first 12 days to follow other important dates.
