On 3 March 2024, Jamaat-e-Ahmadiyya Kosovo organised an event to mark the Yaum-e-Musleh-e-Maud and the Independence Day of Kosovo, at the Ahmadiyya Mission House in Prishtina, where a total of 49 people participated, including external guests as well. The special guest of this programme was the Director for Security and Public Safety of the OSCE (Organization of Security and Cooperation for Europe) Mission in Kosovo, Mr Edward Anderson.
The programme started at 6:15 pm local time with a recitation from the Holy Quran with its Albanian and English translations, followed by two speeches.
The first speech was on “Love for the country and faith in God” by Rexhep Hasani Sahib. The second speech was on “Sacrifice is the key to nation-building” by Jinahuddin Saif Sahib. This speech was inspired by Hazrat Musleh-e-Maud’sra advice to the newly-formed Pakistan – a lecture delivered on 11 November 1949, at the Company Bagh, Sargodha.

The programme concluded with silent prayer, followed by Maghrib and Isha prayers, and dinner. Afterwards, attendees had the opportunity to learn more about two topics that were discussed during the question-and-answer session.
