Muslim youth urged to intensify the fight against immorality

Kumasi, June 27, GNA - The Ashanti Regional Missionary of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Mission, Maulvi Masroo Ahmed Muzaffer has urged Muslim youth to intensify their crusade in the fight against increasing falling moral standards in the society.

He said every effort should be made at all levels to acquire Islamic religious knowledge especially, to admonish adherents to accept the teachings of Allah.

Maulvi Musaffer was speaking at the opening ceremony of the 25th regional rally of the organized male youth group, Majlis khuddam-ul-Ahmadiyya Mission, in Kumasi.

"Building and sustaining moral standards, the role of the Muslim youth" was the theme.

The three-day meeting which was attended by over 500 youth from the various districts in the Ashanti Region was for stocktaking and spiritual awakening.

Maulvi Muzaffer said many people were yearning for "the spiritual food of God" and this is the time for young Muslims to do just that for unbelievers to know Allah.

Mr Abdul Salam Haruna, a tutor at the Kumasi Ahmadiyya Senior High School, said people who indulged in immoral acts have no favour before God.

He urged the young Muslims to fear Allah, examine their lives daily, pray incessantly and work on issues that would lead to peace and harmony.

Mr Hakeem Baidoo, Regional President of Ahmadiyya, urged the youth to be self-disciplined and law-abiding, very submissive and to have respect for the elderly.

Mr Jamil Ibrahim Badu, the Regional President of the Youth Group, noted that immorality was now on the ascendancy and that they had to desist from such acts and condemn them from all quarters.

He expressed the hope that the meeting would help them to go back as transformed youth to help in the battle against immoral acts that were destroying the moral fibre of the society.
