MJC Speaks: Recent Episodes
The Voice of the Cape
This weekend South Africa lost an icon in Maulana Ihsaan Hendricks. He was a giant in the international Islamic scholarly community, was a friend to the Palestinian people, an activist in the Palestine solidarity movement and a supporter of the BDS boycott of Israel campaign. He had regular programs on VOC Radio pertaining to Masjidul Aqsa in order to bring awareness of Islam’s most third holiest site and the fight to keep it in the hands of the Palestinians.

Tonight we try and understand why Moulana was so loved by the people of Palestine and what made him stand out from the rest of the world.
