Alhamdulillah, the inaugural Safe Doem Dinner for Majlis Ansarullah West Midlands was held successfully on Sunday, 16th February 2025 at 5:00 PM at Darul Barakaat Mosque, Birmingham.
This special gathering served as a warm welcome for newly inducted Ansar brothers and provided an opportunity to formally introduce the Safe Doem initiative in the region. The atmosphere was both welcoming and spiritually uplifting, as members connected over food, brotherhood, and shared commitment to service.
The event highlighted the importance of supporting one another as Ansar and outlined the goals of the Safe Doem program—fostering stronger bonds within the Majlis, encouraging spiritual growth, and ensuring no member feels left behind.
We pray that this initiative becomes a source of unity and strength for all Ansar in the region.
Dua:
May Allah the Almighty bless this initiative and enable all participants to serve with sincerity and steadfastness. May this effort foster lasting brotherhood and increased spiritual awareness. Ameen.
