Islam is very powerful here in South Africa. 90% of the muslims is in the Indian community and the rest is in the Black community. It is compulsory that when the children go to school then the parents send the kids to Madrassa after school to learn the Dean. Now we have many schools that are mainly Islamic schools that teach the normal secular syllabus as well as an Islamic syllabus. This makes it easier for the children so that they do not have a long day of attending two different schools. Many ladies are also having get togethers were they teach and share ideas, problems, stories of the sahabas and teachings of the quraan.
