the century of service rendered to the members of the
congregation of the
Mosque by the house of the first officiating priest,
late Khateeb
Sheikh Ismail Lebbe Abdul Latiff.
The service was continued by his son, the late Khateeb
Abdul Latiff Abdul Caffoor,
followed by his son, the late Khateeb
Abdul Caffoor Abdul Jawad. This is now
being continued by the latter’s son, Khateeb Abdul jawad Muhammad Warid. In
appreciation of his uninterrupted and unique service to
the Jama’ath
of the Mosque, glowing tributes were paid by several
speakers, reference being
made to the special grant by Governor Sir Colin Campbell
on February 13, 1845"
