In his congratulatory message, Alhaji AbdulRauf emphasized the importance of fostering collaboration between NASFAT and the UK government to promote religious tolerance, social impact projects, and leadership training opportunities across NASFAT locations in the UK.
Alhaji AbdulRauf highlighted the significant presence of NASFAT in various UK cities, including Dartford, Millwall, Thamesmead, Woolwich, Barking & Dagenham, Grays Thurrock, Milton Keynes, Manchester, and Newcastle.
He expressed NASFAT’s readiness to work closely with the new administration to enhance community relations and support initiatives that benefit both Muslims and the wider society.
“We are committed to promoting religious tolerance and understanding through our sensitization programs. By collaborating with local councils and the government, we aim to empower our members and foster a community spirit that aligns with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)”, Alhaji AbdulRauf said.
According to NASFAT’s President, one of the key areas of focus for NASFAT is the development of leadership skills among its members.
