The Ghana Chapter of the male youth wing of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, known as Majlis Khuddam-ul-Ahmadiyya Ghana, is gearing up for its annual National Ijtema'a (rally).
In a live MTA Ghana TV interview, the Sadr Mulk (National President) of the youth wing, Mr. Hanif Bipuah, and his Naib Sadr (Vice-President), Mr. Abdul Wahab Adusei, discussed the organization's purpose, activities, and the upcoming rally.
Majlis Khuddam-ul-Ahmadiyya, which translates to "Servants of Ahmadiyya," was established to bring together male youth aged 15 to 40 who have pledged allegiance to Islam and the Khalifa of the time. The primary objective is to foster spirituality, brotherhood, and service to the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community and the broader society.
The interview emphasized the importance of conferences and gatherings within the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community. These events serve as opportunities for spiritual upliftment, strengthening faith, and renewing bonds of brotherhood among members. The youth wing's annual Ijtema'a is a highlight, where thousands of youths from across the country congregate to engage in various activities.
The upcoming 42nd National Ijtema'a, scheduled for September 28th to 30th in Asokore, Ashanti Region, promises to be a vibrant and spiritually enriching event. Participants can expect various activities, including academic competitions, indoor and outdoor games, and a revived route march through the streets to introduce the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community to the local community.
Notable additions to this year's Ijtema'a include a creative project competition, where members showcase their crafts and innovations, and an exhibition featuring Jamaat literature and various departments' contributions.
The Sadr and his Naib stressed the blessings of attending such rallies, including increased spiritual virtues, a sense of community, and opportunities for economic growth through creative projects.
The interview concluded with an invitation to all Ahmadiyya youth to attend the National Ijtema'a and connect with the teachings of the Promised Messiah(as) and the Khalifa(atba). The event promises not only spiritual growth but also opportunities for friendship, sportsmanship, and showcasing creative talents.
As the date approaches, anticipation is building for the 42nd National Ijtema’a of Majlis Khuddam-ul-Ahmadiyya Ghana, where thousands of Ahmadi youth will come together in a spirit of unity, faith, and service.
