 ==Daya Walji Family History==
 The history of the Daya Walji family, traced from the few available archives and from verbal narrations by his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren dates back to the 1900s. Marhum Daya bhai Walji, one of the oldest pioneers and pillars of the community and his son Marhum Murrabi Suleman bhai Daya arrived in Tanzania when the son was very young. Suleman bhai was in business with his father and while being involved in a prospering family business, Suleman bhai gave voluntary services to [[Dar es Salaam]] Jamaat by serving as secretary and trustee for some years during which he physically, whole-heartedly and financially struggled for the betterment of the Jamaat. His tireless efforts and financial contribution led to the success of the Jamaat in many spheres.

 Suleman Daya was a strong believer in educating future generations. He donated to the Jamaat prime real estate during his life including the plot across the Aga Khan Hospital where the rental income once financed an annual meal at the mosque. This plot and the adjacent plot were subsequently donated by his descendants to Dar es Salaam Jamaat for education purpose. This is where the Al Muntazir Boys Primary School now stands.  Up to the fourth generation of the Marhum Daya Walji family lived in a house on this Sea View plot.
 In 1937, both Daya Walji and Suleman Daya donated a building described by archives as ‘magnificent’ to be used as a Madressah. This is well known as the '''''Daya Walji Madressah''''' where Husseini Madressah conducted its classes. In addition to the Madressah building, they donated the adjoining two-storey flats to generate rental income to finance the administrative and operating costs of the Madressah.
