Nasrul-Lahi-l-Fatih Society (NASFAT) says its upcoming 8th Biennial Conference and Annual General Meeting aims to develop sustainable solutions for health, youth development, livelihood, education, and “Dawah’’
The National President of the Society, Alhaji Ayodeji Abdulwahid, said this at a news conference to announce the Biennial Conference scheduled to be declared open on Friday.
Abdulwahid, who said that the conference, themed, “Building Resilience in a Changing World: The Role of Faith and Community”, will strengthen institutional capacity, examine the role of faith during crises, and discuss community resilience and social cohesion.
According to him, the conference will review NASFAT’s progress under the LEAD – Leadership, Empowerment, Agents of Change – , and Dawah frameworks, as well as review and approve organisational reforms for the next two years.
“We are honoured to host this historic gathering here in Abuja, where leaders, members, scholars, partners, and stakeholders from across Nigeria and the Diaspora have converged to reflect, review, and reposition our Society for the years ahead.
`This year’s Conference’s theme speaks directly to the realities of the time. Our world is undergoing rapid and unprecedented change.
“Economic uncertainties, social pressures, insecurity, climate challenges, mental health concerns, digital disruptions, transitions in political leadership, and environmental concerns such as flooding, erosion, and climate-driven disruptions and the erosion of family values, all present new tests for humanity.
“As Muslims and members of NASFAT, we understand that faith is the foundation of resilience, and community is the anchor that sustains us,” the NASFAT President said.
He added that the LEAD model aligns directly with the year’s theme and guides the social impact interventions across all branches.
Abdulwahid said, while enhancing socio-economic resilience through skills acquisition, business development support, educational scholarships, health interventions, and livelihood programmes, NASFAT continues to uplift thousands across communities.
“We believe that economic stability and human development are essential pillars of resilience.
“Our youth and women are increasingly engaged in community service, environmental stewardship, GBV prevention, peace building, and outreach programmes.
“A resilient community is one where members actively contribute to progress, not remain passive observers.
“We will continue to expand digital Dawah, strengthen missioner training, enhance counseling systems, and standardise spiritual programmes across branches.
