Shah Kirit Kakulal Govindji

talk, seminar

Fees: Free

In the context of inter-religious community with varied cultures, the subject matter would evolve on the youth especially who are prone to face some social problems.

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 the leading and most popular speakers on Comparative Religion in Malaysia.
As the leading da'wah officer at IIS (Islamic Information and Service Foundation) which is non-profit da'wa organisation, 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.
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 through the nation and the world. 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 Muslim.
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!
