GENERAL INFORMATION ((CONTINUED) RICE TICKETS Where bread will be served, rice will be available for people unable to eat bread. Only those people with a rice ticket will benefit from such a facility. Branch presidents should be contacted prior to Jalsa Salana to obtain the said tickets. CANTEEN A canteen will be in operation on ladies` and men`s sides where snacks, drinks, etc will be available. However, the canteen will remain closed during the Jalsa proceedings. LOST AND FOUND PROPERTY If you find or lose anything, please report to the registration desk. MOBILE PHONE Please switch off / Silent your mobile phones during Jalsa. 11
FOOD DISTRIBUTION Please note that cutlery will not be available. Anyone needing cutlery will have to make his own arrangements. It has been observed that a lot of food is wasted during these days. It is generally a good practice to take only so much in a plate as you can eat and thus waste nothing. Teach the same to your children. Special tents on ladies` & men`s sides have been pitched for eating & drinking; please do not eat elsewhere. Please queue up to take your food before entering the Food Marquee. Once you finish your meals, please deposit your plates in the waste-bins that are provided. We should all undertake to keep the environment clean. EXHIBITION The Majlis Ansarullah of Mauritius is organizing an exhibition on the jamaat of Mauritius. Special arrangements have been made for ladies as well to visit the exibition 12
CLEANLINESS The MFA has graciously put its football grounds and administrative building at the Jama at s disposal. Therefore it is very important that all members pay due care to keep the place very clean. Whosoever notices any litter should pick it up and deposit it in the litterbins or boxes provided for that purpose. It is the duty of everyone to keep the Jalsa site free of litter. There are simple etiquettes of cleanliness that need to be observed. Remember to keep the toilets clean, after all cleanliness is next to godliness. We must always keep in mind the cleanliness of the premises. BOOKSTALL The Ishaat department will operate a bookstall in the Jalsa Gah where various books and magazines will be on sale. Similar Arrangements exist on ladies side. 13
Purpose of Jalsa Salana This is not a festival but a Jama at convention. Do not think that you are participating in a festival and do not waste your time in personal meetings or in buying and selling or showing off latest fashions. Greet each other with smiles. If you had any rancour, end them with smiles in these three days. Secondly, spread the good words and urge others to perform good deeds and tell them to desist from bad practices. After all, this is the prime purpose of Jalsa Salana. Those who come to attend Jalsa, must participate in it fully and instead of roaming about aimlessly, they should derive maximum benefit from the programme. Care should be taken that the ladies and the children sit and listen to the Jalsa proceedings quietly and try to derive the maximum benefit from them. Blessings of Jalsa Some people only come for one day instead of all three days and their objective is to meet friends rather than gain the blessings of the occasion. If the blessings of Jalsa are kept in mind, then attendance on all three days is essential. Listen to the speeches and other programme in silence paying full attention. Do not waste this precious time. Etiquettes of the mosque Remember the etiquette and sanctity of the place in and around the mosque. During the jalsa, the marquees serve as mosques. Therefore, remember to observe the sanctity of the mosque in these. 14
Road to Jalsa Gah The Jalsa Gah is situated at MFA, Trianon 15
