Welcome to IIS’s Hi-Tea Talk !!
Drop everything and come to the Hi-Tea Talk hosted by Islamic Information & Services Foundation (IIS). The Speaker is Brother Shah Kirit Kakulal Govindji. Topic for the evening : ISLAM… A BACKWARD RELIGION ? Come get a feel of the caring, love & peace message in Islam – something Muslims as a people have taken for granted in their life. Come to hear how “scientific” the Holy Qur’an is, and why practicing Islam is as relevant to present era of Science & Technology as it was 1400 years ago. Come get your questions answered, perhaps you have long conceived questions like : why does Islam “subjugate” women, or why Islam allows polygamy; why Islam prohibits alcohol, gambling and pork; does Islam preach violence; is it not true that Islam was spread by the sword; perhaps Islam is undemocratic. In short, is Islam a backward religion?? Come – it is both an invitation and a plea!

About The Speaker
Shah Kirit Kakulal Govindji
His name perhaps reflects his non-Muslim origin and also his current status as a Muslim. It would not be an exaggeration to claim that Brother Shah (the way he likes to be called) is probably one of the leading and most popular speakers on Comparative Religion and on Islam for non-Muslims, in Malaysia today.
As the leading da’wah officer at IIS, he has been delivering talks and giving courses on Comparative Religion for five years now. He is also a Manager at SABA Islamic Media Sdn Bhd, having joined the organization in 1999.
His friendly, sincere, unassuming and always-humble way befits his main purpose in life – to explain Islam to anyone in the most direct and simple way possible, hence making clear Islam’s great message of peace and hopefully making a difference to Peace & Harmony throughout the nation and the world. Simply put, it is something of an impossibility for anyone to dislike Brother Shah, even if one disagrees with his view. Being an avid advocate of truthfulness and fairness, he does not hesitate to correct actions and situations around him, be it among Muslims or non-Muslims.
You will find his talk simple to understand, informative, solid and most certainly interesting. You will most likely find it “too short” and will be wanting more of him… be warned !
