NASFAT reaffirms commitment to Imams’ welfare as South Africa–Based NGO picks Imams for empowerment

Published on

Nasrul-Lahi-l-Fatih Society (NASFAT) has reaffirmed its commitment to the welfare of Imams, Da‘wah workers, and volunteers, pledging sustained support to ensure they live dignified lives, by the grace of Allah (SWT).

The Chief Missioner of NASFAT, Imam Abdul-Azeez Onike, made this known following the selection of ten (10) NASFAT Imams/Missioners by the South Africa–based Imam Development Programme (IDP) for its Economic Empowerment Programme.

The beneficiaries will receive a US$5,000 grant, a monthly stipend of US$105, capacity-building and empowerment support, four fully sponsored trainings annually, as well as opportunities for fully sponsored Hajj and ‘Umrah, among other benefits.

Imam Onike noted that the selected Imams emerged from about 80 candidates drawn from various Islamic organisations after a rigorous screening exercise held in September 2025 at the Lagos State Secretariat Community Mosque, Ikeja.

He commended the Imam Development Programme for its mission to empower Imams as effective community leaders and thanked its founder, Sheikh Bilal Ismail, for supporting Imams across Africa. He also congratulated the successful NASFAT Imams and wished them a fruitful and blessed participation.
