The Islamic Religious Program is at the moment running for one period per week. The program has proved to be very successful and is currently engaging witn several Islamic educators Educating around Two hundred people per week. As it was suggested, it is running effectively and professionally, so the Tamil speaking muslims get benefited round the year. Indo-Qatar Islamic Council is committed to sustain this program particularly as the number of Tamil speaking Muslims increases each year.
