On Monday, December 2, 2024, Regina Jama’at had the honour of welcoming, Respected Maulana Hadi Ali Chaudhary Sahib, Na’ib Amir Jama’at Canada, who presided over our Jalsa Seeratun Nabi (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) at Mahmood Mosque, Regina.
In preparation for the event, a Tabligh committee meeting was held on Friday, November 15, 2024, where plans for the Jalsa and other upcoming events were discussed. Flyers were created by November 1, and distributed at the Islamic Heritage Exhibition, which was organized from November 4–7 at Luther College. Over 200 students visited the exhibition. The duty chart was developed to ensure smooth coordination, including assigning responsibilities for visiting various worship places, such as churches, temples, Gurdwaras, and mosques. Around 400 Tabligh contacts were invited via email and physical invitations.
