Jalsa Salana
The Jalsa Salana is held annually by Ahmadi Muslim Communities in more than 200 countries, including Ghana, by the Holy Founder of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, Hadhrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad of Qadian.
Hadhrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad said to his followers, "The purpose of Jalsa Salana is to enable every sincere Ahmadi Muslim to personally experience true religious benefits and the existence of Allah, the All-Living ".
The Holy Founder urged Ahmadi Muslim to participate in the Jalsa Salana with zeal and vigour and also listen to the proceedings in silence and with full attention, so that they would win Allah's bountiful blessings.
The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community was brought to the soil of Ghana (Gold Coast) in 1921 by a devout Indian Ahmadi Muslim Missionary, Ameer Alhaj Maulana Adbur Raheem Nayyar.
Maulana Nayyar was succeeded by a number of foreign Ameers and Missionaries until 1975, when the first Ghanaian Maulvi, the late Dr. Abdul Wahab Bin Adam was appointed by the then Supreme Head of the world-wide Ahmadiyya Muslim Mission, Ghana.
The late Ameer, Dr. Wahab Adam, who passed away at the Kole-Bu-Teaching hospital on Sunday June 22, 2014, served the Mission for 39 years. He is presently being succeeded by Alhaj Maulvi Mohammed Bin Saliah, who is also a Ghanaian.
The Ahmadiyya Muslim Mission of Ghana, since it was introduced into the country, has contributed immensely towards the advancement of Ghana, more especially in the field of health, education and agric.
The Ahmadiyya Muslim Mission of Ghana is the first religious institution in the country, which has successfully experimented with the cultivation of wheat in Ghana.
It was experimented by the present Supreme Head of the world-wide Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, Hadhrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad, Khalifatul Masih V, who was then an Agric expert and Director of Ahmadiyya Muslim Farm at Depale in the Northern Region.
