Ustaz Abdul Mumeen said, Islam and Allah have made it established in the Quran that difficulties and hardship have been made mandatory on the path of mankind to pass through. So, the shakles are natural. Shackles is a necessary facility in our life. If there is no problem there will be no progress. Our theoretical idea is to show people the frontiers of this religion in a clear, complete and evident with no addition to them nor cuts from them and no ambiguity in them, he said. Stressing the significance of dawah, he said the work is global is global and perpetual adding that the constitution is Quran and our leader is Muhammad.

He however, said the implications of the shackles on the work include among others psycological imbalance likely defective tendencies, sit on the fence, I-dont-care attitude and complacency. On the advantages of the shackles, Ustaz Abdul Mumeen averred that shackles is a sunnah of the dawah as he said it purifies the believers from their inequities and strengthen the ummah. He added the shackles emancipate the ummah from the yoke of slavery and enthrench the spirit of brotherhood to fortify Islamic territory. Giving his inaugural speech, the current Amir, Dr. Yusuf Abdul Hakeem thanked Almighty Allah for giving him the opportunity to serve as the leader of the branch as he craved the prime support of everyone towards achieving progresses in the branch and the country at large.

Also, we impolore everyone of us that the mantle of leadership bethroated on us does not mean that we will do anything before you, we are all respective leaders. The position of the Amir, Naibul Amir or Secretary does mean we are the best but, we have only been appointed to cordinate the affairs of our members, he said. Mallam Yusuf added, But at times, it is always most of you that are always behind the scene doing more, seeing more and I believe this is what we expected from you all. We pray Allah reward everyone of us abundantly and make us dwell in the paradise at the end of this challenges. Amin.
