KUMASI NORTH ZONES PARTCIPATES IN THE VIRTUAL JALSA SALANA GHANA

Kumasi North Zone participated in the just ended JALSA SALANA 2022 with the theme ‘Khilafat Ahmadiyyat - A tool for authentic Islamic revival.’

Opening address was led by Alhaj Maulvi Noor - Muhammad Bin Salih. He urged participants to get involved because only a few speeches would be delivered.

The main speaker for the day, Maulvi Naeem Ahmed Cheema, a special aide to the Ameer and Missionary -In -Charge spoke on Khilafat and it's significance in contemporary human society. He said Khilafat was the centre of Ahmadiyyat and it is as relevant as it was and as it is now. Members should believe that, The Promised Messiah and Mahdi has come. So there is the need for Muslims to come together, accept and pay allegiance to him. He touched on the fact that signs were clear and that, non Ahmadi members need to come for bai'at in order to become Ahmadi Muslims.

On the second day of the JALSA SALANA 2022, The Ameer and Missionary-In-Charge again chaired the programme. ‘Qur’anic teachings on Islamic etiquette,’ a speech delivered by Maulvi Mohammed Opoku was the first speech for the day. He stressed on the need for Muslims to inculcate the Qur’anic teachings in themselves as this will help members have respect for each other, be obedient to authority, show kindness, love etc. towards each other.

Maulvi Aleem Mehmood, a special aide to The Ameer and Missionary-In-Charge spoke on 'Allah's support for His righteous servant- The example of the Promised Messiah(as) and some of his companions.' He said Allah was always with His servants. Therefore if one truly believes in Allah, there was no way they would be defeated in all their endeavours. For example, it was revealed to The Promised Messiah the message, 'I will cause thy message to reach the corners of the world,' the debates he held with other religions were all successful, the volumes of books he wrote etc. This tells us that, Allah does not dessert His followers.

The third speech for the day was delivered by Abdul Noor Wahab Sahib, Zonal President, Koforidua. He touched on ‘the need and relevance of Nizam- e –Jama’at.’ When this was fulfilled, members will get to recognize each other, set examples for others to admire and follow etc.
