MSSN: The Joint Shuuroh Committee AAC/UI Holds Orientation Session with Newly Inaugurated Appointees
By Adeyemi Qamardeen

Members of MSSN Akinyele/University of Ibadan Branch, secondary school coordinators, hall imams, and business teams of both strata got oriented on the 8th of May, 2023 at the University of Ibadan Central Mosque. During this session, the new appointees were able to meet other executive members; and importantly, learn their roles and responsibilities. Information about the MSSN hierarchy, vision, as well as mission statement was not ostracized.
The orientation session was slated to hold at 4:20 pm and started at 4:58 pm with an introduction by Brother Habeebullah Olaniyi, then a welcoming address by the chairman of the Joint Shuuroh Committee AAC/UI Branch, Brother Olajide Sodiq.
The orientation session continued with a speech by Dr. Yekeen who was a former UI Ameer and the former National Ameer. “It’s not about what you know or have, it’s about Allah choosing you. You have been pronounced for some reason. If it is from the consensus of some people that you have been chosen, you should be afraid.
“Whenever I am chosen, I will be afraid. My fear is that I think people are nonchalant to the call of Allah. Whether we believe it or not, whatever we do has its consequence on the Day of Qiyamah. These roles will come and meet some other roles in extra-curricular activities and lecturers won’t care about that. Each and every time I am tested with roles, I always pray to Allah. We should make up our minds to do our best and pray to Allah.”, he continued.
He then further said, “UI has been the main filler for Akinyele branch. Other schools within the council are the Federal School of Statistics and Kola Daisi University”. He added that the Akinyele secondary school coordinators’ speeches to the students go a long way in the life of some students who think the future is hard to reach.
He also talked about the issue of laa jamaica, and he advised that the hall imams should come together as one based on goodness and piety. “Some are members of executives but their allegiance is elsewhere. This is a sign of munaafiq!”, he said. He added that if any of the executives have that in mind, they should desist from it.
He ended his speech by saying that some will not mind spending what they have in energy and money on this cause and some won’t be able to afford that, so whoever finds this uneasy should refer to the Ameer.
The introduction of new appointees was done and questions were entertained by the members. Imam Mikail then advised not to see MSSN as a recruiting ground for creating an empire outside the four walls of MSSNUI. He disseminated the organogram of MSSN. He advised everyone to go online and read it, including the mission and vision. “But for you to accept responsibility and stab the MSSN at the back, it is an act of hypocrisy. MSSN started with an organization with drumming and dancing. There was a dancing competition and singing competition among Muslim students. Although, it was acceptable then. Study the history of MSSN; it started as an organization of secondary schools.”, he explained. He then added that the imams and faculty coordinators have created a lot of divisions within the organization. “Some of the imams don’t understand the law and they act to the law the way they want. The imam and faculty coordinators have been a problem for MSSNUI. On a final note, if any of the imams is to have a contrary opinion on an activity of the MSSN, they should write a letter of notification.”, he advised.
The Letter of Notice of Appointment was given to every appointee and the mission and vision of MSSN were read by the General Secretary, Akinyele Branch, Brother Kasali Habeeb as thus: “The new vision of MSSN is to establish an Islamic Ummah governed by the principles and rules of the Shariah within the next fifty years. While the mission statement is, the MSSN will work relentlessly towards that fosters all-round human development. To achieve this, MSSN will continuously strive towards strengthening the Ummah educationally, economically, spiritually, and politically through a wide spectrum of activities in schools and the larger society in partnership with like-minded organizations. To succeed, MSSN must ensure that its members are God-fearing, knowledgeable, united, and with superior moral values.”
Mr. Oloriaje AbdulRasak added to the admonition and the session ended at 7:01 pm.
