As an Ameer of Chittagong Jama’at, which is considered as the second most important Jama’at in Bangladesh, late Monam Billah discharged his duties and responsibilities with paramount sincerity to the entire satisfaction of Allah Almighty and Khilaft-e-Ahmadiyya. He was a Musi. Generosity and sympathy were also his special characteristics and he was very much fascinated for the service towards humanity and wellbeing of the poor people.
He was very keen on propagation of peaceful Islam and throughout his life he would never let go off any preaching opportunity. He used to preach without fearing anyone. It was through his efforts that he gave the beneficence of the light of Ahmadiyyat to students, teachers and all walks of the people of the atmosphere.
Late Monam Billah was a man of high moral values. He served Nizampur University College in Bangladesh since 1965 to 2005.

After this his dead body was taken to Nizampur University College where the second Janaza Prayer was held. It was attended by a good number people who comprised of students, teachers, political leaders, local people including Vice Chancellor of a Private University who used to be deceased’s student.

Members of the community, Professors of various colleges, his former students now serving at various levels of the country attended the funeral prayer.
Late Monam Billah, who served the education sector was among the few successful Principal’s in the history of Bangladesh who made the changes on a better note. Late Billah did his B.A (Honours) & MA in English from University of Dhaka.
We pray that Allah blesses Late Monam Billah Sahib with a lofty station in paradise and enables all those he has left behind the strength to bear their loss.
