Majlis Khuddam-ul-Ahmadiyya, Ghana

The Majlis Khuddam-ul Ahmadiyya (MKA) aka Ahmadiyya Muslim Youth Organization, Ghana, is the Ghana branch of the youth wing of the worldwide Ahmadiyya Muslim Community. The Majlis was founded by Hadhrat Mirza Bashiruddin Mahmud Ahmad, second successor of the Promised Messiahas in 1938 as one of the auxiliary wings of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community. MKA is made up of the male members of the worldwide Ahmadiyya Muslim Community between the ages of 15 and 40. MKA also has oversight responsibilities over Majlis Atfalul Ahmadiyya (MAA) who are the male children of the community between the ages of 7 and 15.

OUR KEY OBJECTIVE

To train and educate our members, including Atfal-ul Ahmadiyya, in true Islamic ways, to inculcate in them the love of Allah and Hazrat Khataman Nabiyyin Muhammad Mustafa saw, the spirit of serving Islam, country, and mankind, and strive for their welfare.

Like the other branches worldwide, we are under the auspices of the Khalifatul Masih, the worldwide leader of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community. The Majlis is administered by a National Aamila (Executive body), headed by a National President (Sadr), with its national headquarters in Accra. The National Aamila is made up of young men from across the country heading various departments and regions.

Besides the Sadr and his deputies, there are 17 departments and 12 regions headed by individual members of the National Aamila. Each of the 17 departments is headed by a Muhtamim (Secretary) and each of the 10 regions is headed by a Qaid Ilaqa (Regional President).

The Departments under the National Aamila are replicated in the 10 regions across the country with each department at the regional level headed by a Nazim (Regional Secretary) and each Circuit/District (Dil’a) by a Qaid Dil’a (Circuit President). The same departments are also repeated at the Dil’a level where each department is headed by a Nazim Dil’a.

Since the establishment of Majlis Khuddam-ul-Ahmadiyya, Ghana in the 1970s, there have been eight National Presidents (Sadran) with the current National President, Mr. Hanif Bipuah taking over from Mr. Nasir Ahmed Bonsu on 1st November 2022.

Service to Humanity

We engage in many community service initiatives over the years. In Ghana, we are well known for our humanitarian services such as blood donation exercises, communal labour at public places and donation of gifts to orphanages, hospitals and prisons. Across the country, we organize blood donation exercises periodically to save the lives in need of urgent blood transfusion. We also organize clean-up exercises at hospitals, market centres, orphanages, etc. and make donations in the form of food items, clothing and cash to orphanages and prisons.
