By the way what is the main objective of Association of Muslim Professionals (AMP). In other words, why the grouping?
This is a good step. I would like to request all muslim professionals to join this grouping. Its cause is for the general well being of Islam and Muslims in Malawi
Wishing you all Allah's blessing and help to enable you accomplish the goal of this organisation. It is indeed the duty of the muslim professionals to present Islam to their fellow non muslim professionals in a professional manner.at the same time is a motivating factor to the muslim youth to learn that there are muslims who are occupying high ranks and positions in the profession world.in the old days it was something unheard of that muslims majorities are able to hold leadership and high rank positions and have trades and professions.
Alihamdulillah, we are coming up now and reclaiming our position in society as we are commanded by our religion
