1 · About the Masjid

A community anchored in faith

Masjidul Kauthar, established and cared for by the Kuils River Islamic Society Trust (KIST), serves the Muslim community of Kuils River and the surrounding Northern Suburbs. The masjid is a place of daily salaah, Jumu'ah, Islamic education through our madrassa, and a range of community and welfare programmes.

Ours is a predominantly Shāfiʿī community, with khutbah and lectures delivered in English. Our doors are open to all — for prayer, learning and support. KIST is a registered trust run by dedicated volunteers serving the deen and uplifting our community.

🎒 MADRASSA APPEAL

Sponsor a Student — Change a Life

السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته

We extend our heartfelt shukr to all the sponsors who supported our students in 2025. Your generosity allowed many learners to continue their madrassa education. May Allah reward you abundantly.

As we begin this year, more than 60 students from financially struggling households still require assistance. For only R3,500 per year, you can sponsor one student and help provide:

  • Madrassa class fees
  • Educational resources
  • Qualified teachers and guidance
  • A safe Islamic learning environment

"Whoever follows a path seeking knowledge, Allah will make the path to Jannah easy for them."

By sponsoring a student you participate in sadaqah jariyah — ongoing charity whose reward continues long after the donation.
