The Majlis Khuddamul Ahmadiyya The Gambia (MKATG) recently concluded its 30th annual National Convention at Nasir Ahmadiyya Senior Secondary School in Basse, Upper River Region (URR).
According to a press release conveyed to the Daily Observer, the three-day convention was meant to train its members on true Islamic values; to induce in them the love for the best of mankind, Sayyedna Muhammad Mustapha (SAW), and to inculcate in them the spirit of love and service to their country.
Addressing the closing session of the event, Baba F. Trawally, Amir of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama'at The Gambia, stressed the need for good moral practice among the youth, especially in this age.
According to him, for one to succeed in his strive for moral and spiritual training; he has to hold fast to the unity of Allah Almighty as the number one principle. In order to succeed in training, he said Allah the Almighty must be continuously praised, remembered and His holiness extolled. He warned that we must not be like those who forgot Him and he consequently made them forget themselves. He added that Istighfar (seeking effacement for our weakness and shortcomings) is another important branch of training "because it is Allah Almighty alone who can efface our weaknesses and make us highly moral and spiritual beings". Success in this regard, he noted, is impossible without Istighfar. The Promised Messiah and Imam Mahdi (AS) said: "He who does not do istighfar is not better than the worms of the earth because he will not succeed in his endeavours".
Amir Trawally went on to say that the believer is indeed very fortunate to have the best guidance in the form of the Holy Qur'an, the Sunnah, the institution of Salat, fasting, etc. He therefore urged the gathering to follow these teachings to the best of their abilities and to love the Holy Qur'an with all their hearts; recite it thoughtfully and act on it teachings to the fullest. "The Sunnah of the Holy Prophet Muhammad Mustafa (SAW) should illuminate your countenances because he has said that in the time of disorder and misguidance among the Ummah, all shall be hell-bound except those whose distinctive feature is the Sunnah. Let the delight of your eyes lie in Salat because it is the light to salvation and the key to Heaven. It purifies the heart and eliminates all moral and spiritual impurities," the Amir remarked.
Speaking earlier, Tahir Ahmad Touray, Sadr (President) Majlis Khuddamul Ahmadiyya The Gambia, intimated that Majlis Khuddamul Ahmadiyya, the youth association of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama'at, was formed on 4th February 1938 by Hadrat Mirza Bashiruddeen Mahmood Ahmad, the second successor to the Promised Messiah and Imam Mahdi (AS).
