Dr Salman Ahmed Karim, Sheffield
On 24 January 2026, African members of Jamaat-e-Ahmadiyya Sheffield organised an event to highlight the impact of Ahmadiyyat in Africa, attended by 130 Ahmadis. Ahmed Owusu-Konadu Sahib, Vice President of PAAMA UK, travelled all the way from Glasgow.
The programme commenced with a recitation from the Holy Quran, followed by speeches where members shared personal experiences in relation to the theme. Very informative videos on the spread of Ahmadiyyat in Africa and the contribution of the Jamaat in welfare projects, hospitals and schools were shown.
Clips from a video of the Atfal trip to Ghana in October 2025 highlighted their visit to the Ahmadiyya Mission Headquarters in Osu, Asafo Ahmadiyya Mosque in Kumasi, Techiman Hospital in Kumasi, Jamia Ahmadiyya in Kumasi and Akrafu Mosque, among other places visited. They experienced a strong sense of brotherhood and the hospitality from members of local jamaats in Africa extended towards them.
At the end, an address was delivered by Ahmed Owusu-Konadu Sahib, who emphasised the importance of brotherhood, inclusivity and the benefits of financial sacrifices. This meeting concluded with a silent prayer.
