the biggest platform for all the Islamic community and anyone who wants to
learn about the Islamic religion. He urged Muslims to take advantage of the new
service and use it massively to learn what Islam requires them to do.
“I believe that the new service will simplify our work
as leaders of the Islamic community now that most of the teachings can be
accessed through ‘Zantel Madrasa’, and I take this opportunity to also urge our
non-Muslim friends to use this service to learn about Islam,” he said.
He added
that BAKWATA will help Zantel promote the service across Tanzania more
especially in Mosques.

Madrasa’ is the first service ever to
be launched by a mobile phone network in Tanzania in teaching religion and
