Why I Gave Hajj Slot To A Woman Who’s Dedicated To God’s Work-Salaudeen Amala, Founder, An-Najihun Islamic Organisation

The Founder and Head of An-Najihun Islamic Organisation, Alhaji Ismaeel Salaudeen Amala, Mogaji Alfa Ogun-Elu Aare Alasa Dynasty, has explained why he gave the group’s Hajj slot to a member of the group instead of his wife.

While speaking with newsmen during the presentation of international passport and other travelling documents to Mrs. Mistura Oluwafunmilola Abdullah at her residence; No. 19, Temitope Street, Boluwaji Area, Ibadan, Oyo State, Alhaji Folaranmi disclosed that the gesture was borne out of the woman’s commitment, dedication and submission to the work of Allah since two decades ago.

He revealed how he refused to bow to temptations and pressures from people to give the slot to his wife, who has not performed the holy pilgrimage to Mecca.

“I had to contend with so many pressures, but I thank Allah that His will has been done and my mind is at rest. A lot of people persuaded me to give the slot to my wife or to even use it myself, but I refused and I want to advise our politicians to emulate this and ensure equal distribution of the country’s wealth without ethnic or religious discrimination,” he said.

In his response, Pa Abdullah Olaoluwa thanked the group for rewarding dedication to service instead of using sentiments. He however, prayed that the group will continue to grow in wealth and numerical strength.

Pa Abdullah also prayed for journey mercy for his wife to and fro and prayed for more successes for the group.

“I was just cleaning and washing the mosque, but I didn’t know people were watching me. But today, I thank Allah for being kind to me,” she said.

She also prayed for her sponsor and all the people that God used to bless her.

The presentation of the international passport and other travelling documents to Mrs. Mistura was witnessed by her husband and children.
