CHICAGO, IL., Nov 20, 2006 - The National Amila (Cabinet) met with Local and Regional Qaideen (Leaders) of Majlis Khuddam-ul-Ahmadiyya USA on Nov 18-19 for their 12th Annual Qaideen Refresher Course (QRC) at Baetul Jamaay Mosque in Glen Ellyn, Illinois. During the QRC, Qaideen were updated with the latest department plans for the Majlis, briefed on finance and reporting standards, and discussed solutions to issues they encounter throughout the year as a Qaid.

Faheem Younus Qureshi, Sadr Majlis, reminded office holders, “look at this opportunity to serve your majlis and MKA USA as a blessing of Allah.”

All conference attendees were also taken on a guided tour of Zion, IL, a city of great historic interest for the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community Worldwide. “Visiting this city is like having a window into the past, to see the actual place where such a historic event in the community took place,” said Asadulla Chaudhry, (Rep.) Qaid Majlis Philadelphia. “It’s really been a productive weekend.”

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.
