Luqman Bajwa, Missionary, French Guiana
Jamaat-e-Ahmadiyya French Guiana organised a Quran Exhibition on 25-27 October 2024 at the mission house, welcoming visitors daily from 9 am until 6 pm. The guests were warmly welcomed with refreshments and short documentaries about the Jamaat, presented in both French and Arabic. Throughout the exhibition, the visitors were able to view the Holy Quran’s translations in over 20 different languages, and various verses and prophecies of the Holy Quran were displayed on roll-ups. Each formal visit concluded with a question-and-answer session. A dedicated book corner was arranged, where visitors could explore Jamaat literature. Several Afghan guests visited and stayed for an extended period. Two women expressed their appreciation, commenting that “they were truly happy to have decided to come here and felt as though they had known us forever, even though they had only been with us for a few hours.”
On the second day, a tabligh contact, Mubarak Mikaël Neker, expressed his satisfaction and decided to accept Islam Ahmadiyyat. On the final day, Mubarak Ashfaq Rabbani Sahib delivered a brief address, and we concluded the exhibition with a silent prayer.
