IMPACTS OF MUSLIM ORGANiZATIONS

THE IMPACT OF MUSLIM ORGANIZATIONS ON THE MUSLIM STUDENTS; MUSLIM STUDENTS’ SOCIETY OF NIGERIA AS A CASE STUDY.

Islam being the foremost religion to strive and gained ground in Nigeria, brought to the northern part of the country and spread across length and breadth, nooks and crannies of the country with Hausas as the major followers and few Yorubas.

Islamic organization is the association formed by group of people for the propagation of ISLAM. Among the early Islamic organizations are; ANSAR-UD-DEEN SOCIETY OF NIGERIA, founded on the 23rd of December,1923, ANSAR- L-ISLAM by SHEIKH KAMALDEEN AL-ADABIY, JAMATUL NASRU by Late(Sir)Alh AHMADU BELLO, MUSLIM STUDENTS’ SOCIETY OF NIGERIA founded on 18th of April, 1954, NASFAT, FATHI-UL-QOREEB and many others meant to propagate Islam and youth development as their major objectives.

 

All the aforementioned societies have in many ways been source of assistance to the youths as each and every of them has special programmes for the youths which lead to the formation of ‘YOUTH WING’ in the Muslim societies today.

Has this been helpful so far?

Has it gotten its desired merit?

Have youths been transformed through this programme?

 

All these questions are best answered with the introduction of MUSLIM STUDENTS’ SOCIETY OF NIGERIA (MSSN) to Secondary Schools, Colleges of Education, Polytechnics, Universities and other Institution of learning. The has gone a long way to unite Muslim Students from different part of Nigeria and in extension to other neighbouring countries.

 

Many muslim students have gone astray due to lack of proper Islamic upbringing at home and miserable life on campus. Religious activities in some schools is nothing to write about.

Praise be to ALLAH and kudos to those people who formed the society that cater for the students’ spiritual well-being. The society has gone a long way in transforming, reforming and bring out the best in some muslim students nationwide with its varieties of programmes, which include; THE DAWAH CAMP, USRAH, FIGH SESSION (deals with interaction based on questions and answers from the HOLY QURAN among members), SISTERS’ CIRCLE, BROTHERS’ FORUM among others.

 

THE DAWAH CAMP, which is an annual programme, organized by the society starting from the branch to National level has been one of those motivating programmes that empower the muslim students morally, mentally and spiritually. This camp also serves an avenue to meet different people, culture, background, lifestyle, education and how ISLAM is being practised in some other part of the country.

This camp being the major one has supporting strikers that play its role during the year. USRAH, FIQH SESSION among other play vital roles in stimulating students before another DAWAH camp.

 

 

Today, is a great development seeing how far this society has intervened, transformed, and reformed some students which earn the society NATIONAL and INTERNATIONAL recognition. The role played in EDUCATION, HEALTH, ECONOMY & FINANCE, ENGINEERING & TELECOMMUNICATIONS, AND YOUTH EMPOWERMENT cannot be overruled but appreciated in the history of this country.

 

BEHOLD, how good and pleasant it is for MUSLIM BROTHERS AND SISTERS to dwell in PEACE, UNITY, LIFE FREE OF PROMISCUITY, FREE OF INFIDELITY and take the way of ALLAH.

May Allah grant us his will to carry out our obligations. Ameen.
