Season’s Greetings Initiative
As part of its outreach efforts during the month of December, Regina Jama’at organized a Season’s Greetings initiative to foster goodwill and strengthen ties with the wider community.
On Sunday, December 14, Jama’at members visited a local Gurdwara and several churches, delivering Season’s Greetings cards accompanied by chocolate treats. Cards were also sent to neighbours and Luther College at the University of Regina. In addition, over 200 Season’s Greetings messages were shared with Tabligh contacts via email and WhatsApp.
Members were encouraged to collect additional cards from the mosque and personally deliver them to coworkers, neighbours, and other Tabligh contacts. A notable outreach effort included a Jama’at member delivering Season’s Greetings cards to ten NDP MLAs in Regina.
Miscellaneous Outreach and Tabligh Efforts
Throughout the month, various individual and group Tabligh efforts were carried out:
A Jama’at member introduced Ahmadiyyat to a visitor at Mahmood Mosque and presented her with two books: Jesus in India and The Philosophy of the Teachings of Islam.
Another Jama’at member held a one-hour individual sitting with a Tabligh contact, introducing Islam and the Jama’at.
