Alatoye Folorunso Azeez inaugurated Masjid Fazl, a newly built first ever mosque in the village.The mosque was constructed and donated by the grand daughters of Late Hazrat Nadir Malik Khan Sahib (ra), a companion of the Promised Messiah (as) who took Baiat in Africa in 1897.Siting the mosque in Morakinyo Village is not only a landmark achievement but a historic initiative, capping the successful Tabligh (Preaching) expeditions of Ahmadiyya Muslim Community which were orchestrated and spearheaded by notable missionaries and members of Coca Cola branch of the Muslim organisation.Delivering his speech at the event, the Amir commended the efforts of members who are the brains behind the successful preaching expedition leading to the donation of landed property to Ahmadiyya community to contruct the mosque.He enjoined members not to relent in their efforts towards the preaching activities which always attract more converts into Ahmadiyya fold, adding that members’ good conduct and characters would automatically qualify them as role models in the hearts of non members.Alh. Alatoye also admonished members to uphold the sanctity of mosque, being a sacred place of worship, noting that offering of prayers and holding of Taleem (Education) Classes must be adopted as the most critical activities in the mosque.The Village Chief Pa Rafiu Olasunmade expressed his gratitude to the Ahmadiyya Community for building the mosque in the area, which according to him, will serve dual purpose of worshipping Allah and training their wards the basic tenets of Islam.Among the dignitaries that attended the mosque commissioning are: the Naib Amir (Deputy National Head) Finance and Administration Alh.

The Amir (National Head) of Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama’at of Nigeria, Alhaj (Barr.) Alatoye Folorunso Azeez has officially commissioned the Baitul Dua Mosque in Temidire, Ondo State today 1st May 2026. The mosque was donated by the families of Late Mr. Sheikh Muhammad Sajid and Late Mrs. Shamim Akhtar.The event was well attended by prominent personalities within and outside the Ahmadiyya Community including the paramount ruler Olu of Ita Oniyan of Akure LandAmir of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community in Nigeria, Circuit President Alhaji Sulaiman Nuh, and Oba Akinyemi Ishak, the Olu of Ita Oniyan of Akure land; Naib Amir (Deputy Head) Finance and Administration of AMJN Alh. Mufadhil Bankole; General Secretary AMJN Alh. Ayelagbe Jabar; and National Jaidad (Incharge Properties) Secretary AMJN Builder B.S.A Towolawi.The branch president, Alhaji Sulaiman Nuh warmly welcomed the Amir and his entourage, offering sincere prayers for divine guidance and spiritual protection over his leadership, describing his presence as an honour and a source of encouragement for the entire community.The land upon which Baitul Dua Mosque stands has a remarkable history. Originally owned by a Christian congregation, an internal dispute among its members led to its eventual sale and subsequent acquisition by the Jama’at, a development the community regards as divine providence.The journey was not without challenges. An earlier mosque at Ire Akari, built during the tenure of Muallim A.G. Oladipupo, was demolished over a land rights dispute.Through the combined contributions of the Jama’at, a generous member, and the then Missionary-in-Charge Maulvi Nayyar Khalique, a new foundation was laid though it later stalled due to inactivity. A subsequent missionary reignited the vision, drawing inspiration from the Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), who first built a home upon arriving in Madinah. The Jama’at followed this counsel, building a mission house before completing the permanent mosque that stands today.The Amir delivered an insightful and compelling address distinguishing the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community from other Islamic sects, affirming that it represents the truest expression of Islam. He stated categorically that the Promised Messiah, Hadhrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (peace be upon him), was a prophecy fulfilled part of a divine chain of prophecies spanning generations. He noted that it is human nature for some to accept divine truth and others to reject it, as has been the experience of every prophet throughout history.He further urged members to remain steadfast, engage the world with wisdom, and uphold the community’s cherished motto of “Love for All, Hatred for None.”The ceremony concluded on a spiritually uplifting note as the first Jumu’ah service was held in the newly commissioned mosque, led by the Amir, a historic and deeply moving moment as the mosque fulfilled its sacred purpose for the very first time

The Amir Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama’at of Nigeria, Barrister Alatoye Azeez Folorunso, has called for a peaceful world through the sharing of love and upholding the dignity of mankind. He stated this in an Eid -ul -Fitr message, marking this year’s Ramadan Fast. The message was entitled “SEEK THE LOVE OF ALLAH TO ACHIEVE THE PURPOSE OF YOUR CREATION.” Barrister Alatoye noted that the just-concluded Ramadan was a trying period not only for the Muslim ummah but also for the whole of mankind. “The effects of the upheavals in the Middle East, occasioned by the joint attack by Israel and the US on Iran, were felt all over the world as it brought the world to the precipice of a World War”. He regretted that the precarious situation the world found itself in recent times could not have arisen if mankind had lived its live-in accordance with the commandment of its creator, this being the only way to express our love to Allah and to earn His love. “It is ironic that we use man-made products for purposes for which they were manufactured but fail to live according to the purpose for which we were created”. Quoting from the Islamic scripture – the Holy Quran (Chapters 3, verse 32 and 51 v 57), the Almighty Allah declares: “Say, ‘If you love Allah, follow me: then will Allah love you and forgive you your faults. And Allah is Most Forgiving, Merciful.’ “And I have not created the Jinn and the men but that they may worship Me The leader of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jamaat of Nigeria said these verses of the Holy Quran clearly give the reason why the human race was created. A product used wrongly will not only fail to work, but it will also create additional problems. This is why the world has not been at peace. He made a good reference to the lives of the holy Prophet Muhammad and the Founder of the Ahmadiyya Muslim community, Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (as), who stated that the love for Allah is expressed through worship and the failure of man to serve the one and only true God, and to give fellow humans their dues are the real reasons behind our challenges. “Rather than serve God and respect the rights of others, the world has chosen to serve itself and to usurp the rights of others. This is the root cause of instability across the world” . He noted. Alatoye further explained that as recently pointed out in a Friday sermon by the Supreme Head of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama’at, Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad (may Allah be his Helper), some have not only failed to serve Allah, but they have chosen to serve certain individuals, countries or institutions, in the erroneous belief that these will bring them peace, prosperity and safety. Unfortunately, the opposite has been the case. The Islamic leader said Ramadan was a reminder to return to the purpose of our creation and thus seek the love of Allah. “It was a time when more attention was paid to the worship of Allah and to accommodate the needs of our fellow human beings. It was a time when most Muslims shunned mundane things, avoided trouble, and lived humbled lives. It was a time when Muslims shared what they had with others for the love of Allah”. He urged Muslims to remember that what we did to earn Allah’s love during the month should not stop, but should be continued until we are privileged to witness another Ramadan. Qasim Akinreti, Ph.
