CDs with copies of the programmes are copied and distributed to those brothers and sisters who cannot listen to the broadcasts.

Programmes at the centre

Several programmes were held throughout the year at the centre. Attendance varied and there were between 10 and 60 guests at each programme. They came from the neighbouring towns and cities like Visoko, Breza, Ilijaš and Sarajevo.

On Ashura days mourners gathered at Sarajevo Husainiyya, where main lecture was delivered by Shaykh Akbar Eydi.
