It is an immense favour of Allah the Exalted upon us Ahmadis that most of our youth as well as our elders understand that when one bows down and offers supplications before Allah the Exalted with great fervency and lamenting with humility, then Allah the Exalted listens to the prayers. Many people write to me as to how they sometimes become disappointed by everyone and whilst in a state of complete hopelessness, when they pray to Allah the Exalted, He manifests His Grace in a manner that it becomes a means of strengthening their faith. I will now present some of these incidents, which I come across in various reports.

The University of Lagos, UNILAG Muslim community, UMC in collaboration with Muslim Ummah of South Western Nigerian and UNILAG Muslim Alumni recently honoured Prof. Rahmon Bello and former Bursar, Dr Lateef Odekunle for their exemplary leadership and selfless service to the ivory tower and the country at large.
