The 41st Annual National Ijtema’a (rally) of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Youth Organization Ghana is underway at Bustan-e-Ahmad in Accra.
The rally, which is an annual event on the calendar of the Majlis Khuddam, began with the registration of participants following their arrival at the venue and registration for academic and sporting competitions.
The National Coordinator for Review of Religions Ghana, Maulvi Umar Gyasi Agyemang, gave a presentation on “The Review of Religions; a Panacea for Moral Regeneration.” In his address, he pointed out that acquiring knowledge is essential, elevates people, and opens Allah’s door to those endowed with it. According to Maulvi Umar, our Beloved Khalifa’s response to a question on his vision for Ghana shows that knowledge acquisition is his ultimate requirement for seeing all Africans become Muslims and that this should be the goal of every leader of the Jama’at.
Maulvi stressed that personal development and acquaintance with the teachings of the Jama’at are indispensable in carrying out any form of Tabligh. Therefore, according to him, the Review of Religions has become an essential source for religious knowledge and contemporary issues regarding knowledge acquisition.
He said, “The western world boldly denies the existence of God while Africans are gradually doing the same thing through their actions like interest and addiction to online gambling and betting. With these social vices sweeping across all countries of the world, The God Summit, a product of the Review of Religions, has recently made a significant impact by drawing the world’s attention to the existence of God”.
“The Promised Messiahas has warned his community about the danger associated with the non-existence of the Review of Religions. Therefore, Ahmadi Muslims must preserve the continuity of the Review of Religions started by Promised Messiah and Mahdi Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad(as) in 1902.”
Maulvi Umar Gyasi announced that The Review of Religions is coming out with an innovative version in audio and video for variety. He said the ‘Review Digest,’ born out of popular demand and the guidance of our Beloved Huzoor, will soon be launched on MTA Africa.
The national coordinator called on all readers of the Review of Religions to handle it with extra care and caution due to the presence of Qu’ranic verses and Khalifa’s picture.

The Gomoa East Zone of the Majlis Khuddam-ul Ahmadiyya Ghana, on Saturday, 23rd April, 2022, made donations at separate functions to the Winneba Local Prisons and the Trauma and Specialist Hospital, all in Winneba.
The donation forms part of the Majlis’ action plan for the year and also in the observance of the fast in the month of Ramadan. This gesture by the Majlis was to show compassion and affection to the inmates of the Prisons as well as the children at the Paediatric Unit of the Trauma and Specialist Hospital.
Speaking at both presentations, the Zonal Qaid, Mr. Abdul Hameed Amponsah said, the period of Ramadan is for the showing of love to all of mankind by the Almighty Allah and was therefore necessary for the Khuddam to extend a helping hand to the less fortunate and underprivileged in society.
He observed that it was the first time ever in the history of the Khuddam in the zone to make such a donation and was hopeful the kind gesture would be repeated often, not only to the prisons but also to other segments of society that may be in need. He was grateful to the Khuddam in the Gomoa East Zone for the initiative and the immense support in getting the needed items that were donated.
The Winneba Local Prisons Commander, ADP Peter Afari Mintah, who received the items, expressed the appreciation of the Command and that of the inmates to the team.
He said, there is a thin line between a prisoner and the one who is not in prison, and as such, there was, therefore, the need for society to turn its attention to the inmates. He added that some inmates have found themselves in prison due to many factors and therefore must be supported towards their rehabilitation.
ADP Peter Afari Mintah recalled a courtesy call by the Zonal Missionary to his office in 2021 and promised a fruitful relationship between the Command and the Zone.
In full compliance with the COVID-19 protocols, however, only a few members of the team were allowed entry into the prison yard to talk and pray with the inmates.
Items donated at the prisons were bags of rice, gari, cassava, water, and cooking oil. There was also a carton of canned tomato, disinfectants, quantities of assorted soaps, sugar, loaves of bread, used clothing, toothpastes and toothbrushes.
At the Trauma and Specialist Hospital, Winneba, the team was received by the Officer-In-Charge of the Neo-Natal and Intensive Care Unit, Madam Joyce Mawuena Apau.
She expressed gratitude on behalf of the Unit management and the patients to the team for such a wonderful gesture.
Items donated to the facility and patients included baby diapers, bottled water, non-alcoholic drinks, soap, and disinfectants. Others included bleach, baby clothing, and sanitary tissues among others.
Present at the ceremony were the Zonal Missionary, Maulvi Abu Basheer Donkoh, and Mr. Nazir Ahmad Keelson, an elder of the zone.
