Beginning with video clips of Hazrat Khalifatul Masih V’s^aa guidance to office bearers on service to the Jamaat, presidents were reminded of the importance of completing their duties with taqwa.Highlights of the refresher course included instructions of Khulafa on commonly faced issues, departmental recognition of majalis, tips to support and empower local amila, including an opportunity for local presidents to share their successful experiences. The members were fortunate to listen to the live address of Hazrat Khalifatul Masih V^aa at the UK Waqifaat-e-Nau Ijtema 2025. Lunch was served following the end of the session, followed by Zuhr prayer.
