The inaugural East and Central Africa Ansarullah Refresher Course, hosted in Kenya on 18-19 October 2025, marked a historic milestone for Majlis Ansarullah on the continent. The seminar successfully gathered delegates from 10 nations to foster spiritual growth and administrative excellence, culminating in a renewed zeal for the service of Islam Ahmadiyyat.
The days leading up to the conference were marked by purposeful activity following the arrival of a Markaz representative, Abdul Khaleque Talukdar Sahib, on 13 October 2025. On 15 October, a visit was conducted to a mosque of the Kathiani Jamaat, the headquarters for the Eastern Region. This visit featured a highly interactive meet-and-greet session with local members. Delegate arrivals commenced on the same day.
The well-attended seminar commenced on 18 October. The foreign attendance comprised 28 delegates from 10 countries. The total attendance reached 67.
The inaugural session involved introductions by the heads of each delegation, followed by a welcome speech from Sadr Majlis Ansarullah Kenya, who also provided a brief presentation on the administrative structure of Majlis Ansarullah. The core of the seminar was modelled around highly interactive presentations focusing on the four pivotal qiadats: Umumi, Maal, Tarbiyat and Tabligh. Delegates actively shared their regional experiences and best practices, enriching the learning environment for all present. The Markaz representative also provided guidance in light of the instructions from Hazrat Khalifatul Masih Vaa. On the final day, participants watched a repeat telecast of Huzoor’saa inspiring closing address that he had delivered during the Majlis Ansarullah UK’s 2025 Ijtema.
