The Founder of Al-Najihun, a frontline Islamic organisation, Alhaji Ismaeel Folaranmi Salaudeen, has urged the leaders of Ansar -Ud-Deen Society of Nigeria to begin massive creation of  companies that produce commodities for it’s future generations.

The preacher made this declaration as the centenary lecturer of Ansar-Ud-Deen, which took place at Oluyole  Branch of the Society at Liberty Road, Ibadan, Oyo State l.
While commending the society’s activities in the last 100 years in his lecture titled; “Ansar-Ud-Deen Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow,” Folaranmi stated that the sect had performed well in the last 100 years in the area of education and health, adding that the efforts of Ansar-Ud-Deen in the area of mosque planting is second to none.
He lamented that many Muslims were totally called back from other religions with their efforts in school creation, when colonial masters were using western education and Christianity to lure many Muslims.
Alhaji Folaranmi also thanked the past and present leaders of Asar-Ud-Deen for their determination, focus, concentration and cooperation.
“It is not that your members have all the money, but commitment and cooperation remain the reason many things were put in place and as we begin the journey of another 100 years, let us focus on socialism, that is to begin the establishment of commodities production companies for our future generations,” he said.
The international cleric also tasked the present leaders of the society to initiate the younger ones and encourage them to take over from where they will stop, adding that this is the best way to elongate the dreams of the founders.
In his welcome speech, the branch Chairman of Ansar-Ud-Deen, Alhaji Ismail Osuolale Ola stated that those selected for the awards were not only members of the society, but those who have selflessly worked for the propagation of Islam.
The Chairman of the occasion, Alhaji Chief Abdulateef Akinola, in his brief remarks, commended Ansar-Ud-Deen for their efforts in spreading good news about Islam and urged them not to relent in their efforts.
The Baale of Ayegun Oleyo, Ibadan Alhaji (Chief) Abdul-Kabir Olayemi Olajide, who was the royal father of the day, while speaking with First Weekly Magazine, called on other Islamic organisations to emulate Ansar-Ud-Deen because of their uprightness, justice and equity to all without bias.
The royal father however, urged Nigerian leaders to, as a matter of urgency, find  lasting solutions to the current hardship in the country.
