	Marhum Bashir would always be together with Marhum Haji Ali Muhammad Jaffer Sheriff Dewji. It would be his daily routine at the end of his business for the day to give a lift to Marhum Ali Muhammad Jaffer and go to Dilbahar, a local café, where they would engage actively in Tableegh conversations with friends of the Sunni faith. As one of the committee member of Bilal Kenya, Marhum was devoted to cultivating public relations in the wider Muslim community in Mombasa. This strategy of reaching out to scholars and personalities was of great benefit. As an outcome of these initiatives, some Scholars were invited to deliver addresses at the Husaini Imambargha for the Muharram Majlis programmes. Together with his eldest son Hasan, Marhum Bashir commissioned then the new media facility of video recording by arranging for all the lectures to be recorded and distributing widely the recorded video cassettes. This provided added momentum to Tableegh during the time when such facilities were scares in Mombasa town. Bashir was also instrumental in organizing and conducting TV talk shows over VOK Sauti ya Pwani.		Marhum Bashir would always be together with Marhum Haji Ali Muhammad Jaffer Sheriff Dewji.
