Deliver Islamic Messages Not Personal Opinions-Mufti Advises.

His Eminence Sheikh Shaban Ramadhan Mubaje, the Mufti of Uganda has urged all those involved propagating Islam to immerse themselves in the tenets of Islam so as to transmit the  divine message to the public without mixing it with their personal opinions.This was part of his message at the annual gathering of the Jamatil Tabligh locally known as Zikri Kalenge, which means excessive praise of Allah in Urdu that is widely spoken in indo- Asian countries held at their headquarters- Markaz at Kajjansi Town Council in Wakiso district. The well attended gathering drew hundreds of Islamic preachers and propagators from various countries including UK, Pakistan, Tanzania, Kenya, Somalia, and the host Uganda among others

In his soul uplifting  talk punctuated with various quotations from the Holy Quran backed with a the divine sayings of Prophet Muhammad PBUH, Mufti Mubaje advised the attentive participants to contemplate deeply if they are to succeed in the mission of guiding others towards the divine message of Islam
"It is an obligation to every Muslim believer to call the rest of humanity to join the fold of Islam,” Sheikh Mubaje admonished. He highlighted a Hadith when Jibril appeared in human form donning a white snow tunic at gathering where the Prophet was instructing his companions. 
The narration states that the mystical went straight where Prophet Muhammad was sitting and asked him several questions about Islam in general and the exact day of judgement and kept confirming whatever Prophet Muhammad responded to as being the absolute truth.According to the Mufti, that episode was meant to guide Muslim faithful in three aspects including deepening their Islamic knowledge, strengthening their inner faith in Almighty Allah, and live an exemplary life of good conduct.
In conclusion, Sheikh Mubaje called upon Muslim preachers to acquaint themselves on the three aspects cited in the Hadith as  the cornerstone of their efforts to disseminate the faith to humanity. 
He later flagged off the team to spread the message of Islam to all people near and far. Hon. Counsel Haj Muhammad Ali Aluma, the UMSC Secretary General and Sheikh Imran Ssali, Secretary for Religious Affairs both hailed the members of Tabligh Movement at Markaz Kajjansi for being disciplined, humble, promoters of Muslim brotherhood and above being loyal to UMSC.  
Earlier on Sheikh Hussein Mustafa, who spoke on behalf of the movement, thanked the Mufti for his support that has enabled them to carryout their planned activities across the country effectively.
