The arrival of delegates began a day prior and continued until the day of the shura. As the delegates arrived, they were issued cards and the registration procedure continued.
167 people attended the shura, including central and local missionaries as well as members of the national amila and representatives of the auxiliaries.
The event formally commenced with the recitation from the Holy Quran at noon and was presided over by the Amir and missionary-in-charge Liberia, Naveed Ahmed Adil Sahib. Amir Sahib addressed the audience and emphasised the importance and blessings of the shura system, as well as gave a detailed description of how it operates.
