Alhamdolillah, the local Ijtema of Reading Ansarullah was held on 27th April in Darby Green near Yateley, Hampshire. The theme of the Ijtema was ‘Righteous Servants’ in line with the UK guidelines. Some forty Ansar attended out of a contactable tajneed of fifty, an improvement on the year before. Preparations began many weeks before with the appointment by local Zaeem Imtiaz Malik Sb of Munawar Khawaja Sb as Ijtema Chairman. The committee made concerted efforts to invite members to the Ijtema and to help with transport where required.
