Alhaji Raji, who described Majlis Ansarullah as the elders’ association of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, outlined the organisation’s activities and its commitment to promoting peaceful coexistence and serving humanity. He also briefed the Chief Imam on the activities lined up for the 50th Annual Majlis Ansarullah Convention, scheduled to take place in Abeokuta, including a free medical outreach and a symposium.
The National President invited the Chief Imam to the symposium, scheduled for Saturday, August 22, as a key part of the Golden Jubilee Ijtema, noting that the gathering would bring together participants from across Nigeria and other African countries, including Kenya, South Africa, Cameroon, Benin, Sierra Leone and Ghana.
In his address, Sheikh Bamgbola commended the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community for its humanitarian and educational initiatives, describing them as a reflection of the commandment of Allah to strive in His cause. He prayed for the success of the organisation’s efforts and encouraged it to sustain its contributions to society.
The Chief Imam, who noted that the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community has been in existence in Nigeria for over a century, urged the organisation to continue building on its legacy, particularly in the areas of education and healthcare. He commended its establishment of schools and hospitals and called for greater investment in scholarships and other initiatives that would benefit more members of society.
He also encouraged Islamic organisations generally to embrace greater service to humanity, stressing the growing need for such initiatives in the society.
Responding to the Chief Imam’s remarks, Sadr noted that the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community had continued to expand its educational and welfare initiatives. He highlighted the work of the National Scholarship Board of the Community, which provides financial support for students’ educational expenses irrespective of their background.
He further noted that the Jama’at’s educational efforts have progressed from the establishment of primary and secondary schools to tertiary and technical education, citing the establishment of Minaret University, Ikirun, Osun state, and Masroor International Technical College (MITC), in Ilaro, Ogun state.
