		+
		+	Dear Brothers-in-faith,
		+
		+	''Salaamun Alaykum.''
		+
		+	At the outset I take this opportunity to thank all members for electing me for the second successive term as the President of the [[Dar es Salaam]] Jamaat.
		+
		+	I am all too conscious of the support and confidence placed in me and my colleagues. I am equally well aware of the heavy responsibilities entrusted to us.
		+
		+	It goes without saying that I and my fellow members in the Managing Committee will do our utmost to serve you to the best of our abilities and within the resources at our disposal.
		+
		+	Evidently much progress was achieved in the last two years and we will be all out to match it again during these two years. Our goal is to improve in the performance still further.
		+
		+	The prestigious projects, i.e., the construction of Madressa complex, the block of Alawi flats and the formation of Shabbar flats, are all on our priority list and will be completed with minimum of delay.
		+
		+	These projects are a result of the cooperation, assistance and guidance by various members of the Community. It is our firm belief that given the same environment, we shall progress still further and further.
		+
		+	Dar es Salaam Jamaat boasts as one of the leading Jamaats in Africa. It has a very clean record of unity, discipline and cooperation. In fact, it will not be egoistic to state that our Jamaat is a model to be emulated.
		+
		+	Let no one therefore spoil this image. Let grievances be settled logically and democratically. Let the available administrative machinery be exhausted before succumbing to harmful actions. Above all let us unite in brotherhood and become partners in progress.
		+
		+	* Let us pray for the prosperity of our community and by adhering faithfully to our religious obligations, hope for a better world hereafter.
		+
		+	''Wassalamun-Alaykum''.
		+
		+	Your brother-in-faith,

		+
		+	* We pray to Allah (SWT) to grant the Marhum maghferat, and place him amongst the blessed ones in the vicinity of Chahardah Ma'sumeen (‘a) where he continuously receives mercy and grace of Almighty, The Exalted. Ameen.
		+
		+	* Sura-Al-Fateha is requested for him and all the Marhumeen.

-My career in the service of my Community is close to 40 years and with the grace of Almighty Allah SWT, I am still in the leadership of my community having served the noble offices, in various capacities culminating to my present Chairmanship of the AF of the KSIJ. To date, I have served this position twice, two terms each. Indeed, it is the [[Africa Federation]] which has been a creation and a spring board for all other federations.
+Inna Lillahi Wa Inna Ilayhi Rajioon
-The opportunity of having been able to serve my Community all this long, is certainly a great achievement to my conviction to serve my people and must admit that I cannot, by any stretch of imagination, accredit this success due to my personal self but to Allah SWT whose blessings facilitated smooth discharge of heavy duties and responsibilities entrusted upon me each time. This noble spirit that was kindled in my most prime years is still living and indeed, a major source of motivation and resolve into declaring my candidacy for the highest office in the Community.

-I am cognizant and consider it absolutely vital that geographical mobility is inseparable part of the whole duties attached to the President of the WF in an effort to maintain pace with global changes in economical, social, moral and religious awareness, for the benefit of non else but our Community who are endowed with the religion, the best and the true one on this Universe.
+==Brief Profile==
-==Obituaries & Tributes==
+Marhum Mohamed Gulamhussein was born and brought up in Tanga, in a family with a distinct religious background.  He was the son of Marhum Gulamhussein and Marhuma Sakina and the brother of Zehra Akbar Hasham, Marhuma Rukia, Marhum Gulamhassan (Sheni), Marhum Ali Asgar, and Marhum Dr. Mushtaqhussein. Marhum Mohamedbhai, the eldest of six siblings, moved with his family to Dar es Salaam at a young age where he completed his academic education – both primary and secondary, and thereafter joined the Civil Service treasury under the British Colonial government, working with the Tanganyika government, and then under the Tanzania Government. As a Civil Servant, he developed systems that served as a benchmark during his time. He established his own business when his career as a Civil Servant ended and ran it until his retirement from work altogether.
