The annual assembly is one of the Jama\u2019at\u2019s most significant events, intended to reinforce faith, promote moral development, and strengthen bonds within the community.<\/p>\n<p>In his opening address, Baba F. Trawally, the Amir of the Jama\u2019at, described the gathering as a forum for spiritual reflection and service. He emphasized the importance of peace and tolerance, praising The Gambia\u2019s longstanding tradition of religious coexistence.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cProgress and true worship cannot be achieved without peace,\u201d he said, urging participants to act as ambassadors of harmony in their communities.This year\u2019s convention is organized around the theme, \u201cThe Holy Qur\u2019an: A Solution for the Challenges of the Modern World.\u201d Trawally said the theme reflects what he described as a period of global uncertainty marked by social unrest, political division, and moral decline, adding that humanity is in need of moral guidance.<\/p>\n<p>Government officials attending the opening ceremony commended the Jama\u2019at\u2019s contributions to national development. Bakary Badjie, the Minister of Youth and Sports, praised the group\u2019s work in education, health care, and youth development and reaffirmed the government\u2019s support.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe congratulate the Jama\u2019at for its continued contribution to national development,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Sulayman Saho, a National Assembly member, pointed to The Gambia as an example of religious harmony, noting that communities of different faiths have coexisted peacefully for generations.<\/p>\n<p>Over the decades, the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama\u2019at has established a network of schools and health facilities across the country. Among its most prominent institutions is Nusrat Senior Secondary School, widely regarded as a leading center of learning that has produced many of the country\u2019s professionals and public servants.<\/p>\n<p>In health care, the Jama\u2019at operates facilities, including the Ahmadiyya Muslim Hospital, which provides affordable medical services. Its activities also extend into sectors such as agriculture and information technology, reflecting a broader role in the country\u2019s social and economic development.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Gambia<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Gambia.
