“We are appreciative of this gesture, which is nothing short of a boost to our growing Muslim community on campus,” says Chief Imam of the Jama’at, Ibrahim B. Kargbo.
The book distribution is part of several humanitarian projects carried out by the Islamic group to preserve and promote Islam and deepen taqwa (God-consciousness) on campus, simultaneously with pursuing secular knowledge.
“The content of both textbooks is very helpful to all those who have benefited today, irrespective of age and educational background,” said Sullay Jamal Kalokoh, President of the Jama’at.

The donors of the project, Ummah Welfare Trust, are one of the biggest contributors to the advancement of Islam in Sierra Leone, providing free Islamic courses for thousands of kids across the country and employing hundreds of Muslims, from youth to the elderly.
The teaming up of the two groups reflects shared values and commitment to promoting pristine Islam through ilm (knowledge), ikram (humanism), and dawah (proselytisation).
