Whilst the JUT paid attention to the overall Dinî needs of the Muslims, its initial emphasis was on education. So, as early as 1961, we find the JU drawing up a syllabus for the entire Transvaal. Correspondence, as early as 1940 on the suggestions of various 'Ulamâ like Moulana Ahmad Hathurani on the improving of the then syllabus, is well documented. Under the auspices of the JUT, a number of books were published. As early as 1927, the JUT published its first book designed for Shafi’î students and adults guiding them in the manner of performing Salâh. In the 1950s, the JU took up the cudgels with the Nationalist government against the Group Areas Act and succeeded in defending our Masâjid and Madâris from demolition. In the 1970s and 1980s, the JU interacted with the government on Muslim affairs, Muslim Personal Law etc. The new dispensation did not prevent the JU to forge links with the democratically elected government. If anything, the interaction has increased tremendously. In 1994, a JU delegation met with President Mandela, who gave ~is personal assurance that his government would ensure that all obstacles are removed in the path of Muslims in implementing Muslim Personal Law in South Africa. Among the many researched memorandums, which the JU submitted to the government, include the issues of pornography, abortion, the introduction of religious education in state controlled schools, capital punishment.
