We will not stop here, we are going to make sure that more fund comes in the future” Mayor of Banjul, Abdoulie Bah, said: “We thank the Almighty ALLAH for the organisation to give out Quran as charity which we all know is Allah’s saying. The madrassa will benefit; they have something to learn that can help them today and in the future.” The imam of the Taqwa mosque, Outass Boye, hailed the donors for their intervention, saying this came at the time it is needed the most. “Everything has a direction or way to paradise is knowledge, as it is the important thing that helps an individual, communities and countries to achieve its goals. “Seeking knowledge is an obligation to Muslims, both male and female.” He is optimistic that the organisation will continue to offer more help to the madrassa.]]>
