LOS ANGELES, Calif., Jan 6, 2007 - Members of the Los Angeles (West) Majlis/Chapter were visited on Friday (01/05) by Faheem Younus Qureshi, President (Sadr Sahib) of Majlis Khuddam-ul-Ahmadiyya USA. During his visit, Sadr Sahib had the opportunity to personally meet with all of the members present. “I am absolutely amazed at the great diversity here; I have yet to visit a majlis that is as diverse as this one,” he remarked while tallying the 9 ethnic backgrounds represented.

During his visit, Sadr Sahib asked those present to voice their general concerns; and offer suggestions that could be implemented to improve the overall activity level at the Los Angeles (West) Chapter. Amjad M. Khan, West Coast (South) Regional Qaid (Regional Leader) and Armaghan Mallik, Local Qaid (Local Leader) who were also among those in attendance, presented Sadr Sahib with the challenges they face on a daily basis. “Whenever I hear this word ‘challenge’ I try to change it around in my mind so I can see it as an ‘opportunity.’ You’ll be amazed at how quickly ideas start flowing,” he advised.

Majlis Khuddam-ul-Ahmadiyya was established worldwide in 1938, and later in the United States with the auxiliary’s first president in 1969. Since its foundation, MKA USA has grown to nearly 3,500 members in 59 chapters across the United States, with its national headquarters located in Silver Spring, Maryland. According to the auxiliary’s founder, Hadhrat Mirza Bashiruddin Mahmood Ahmad (ra), “the very name of the organization indicates that its members are Ahmadi servants of mankind.” MKA USA is the Youth Auxiliary of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community.
