Speaking while admonishing the new executive members at the meeting, the Chief Missioner of the society, Imam Abdul-Azeez Onike in his lecture titled, \u201cArise la rika\u201d loosely translated to \u201cYou can only take stocks of your achievement after your tenure if you have achievements to list\u201d, he cited the saying of a popular and leading Arab philologist,
\nIbn Durayd who says “A person leaves only a tale behind him, so strive that your tale be remembered as a beautiful one\u201d, of course not only after death but also after leaving office.<\/p>\n
The statement which resonates well with Quran 9 verse 105, \u201cAnd tell them, (O Prophet): “Keep working: Allah will behold your works and so will His Messenger and the believers; and you shall be brought back to Him Who knows that which is beyond the reach of perception and that which is within the reach of perception. He will then declare to you all that you have been doing.”<\/p>\n
Onike gave the new exco members the ingredients for personal and group success in their endeavors, which he refers to as \u201cGood Intention\u201d for personal success and \u201cUnity and Love\u201d for the group success.<\/p>\n
The meeting which spanned over 6 hours gave the opportunity to each portfolio holder to present his \u201cTo do List\u201d for the next two years by Allah\u2019s Grace.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
