The Ahmadiyya Muslim Jamaat in Sierra Leone is celebrating Jalsa Salana in the Southern City of Bo. The event which started on Friday, February 14, will end on Sunday, February 16 at the Ahmadiyya School Compound in Bo.

This year’s event was opened by the President of Jamaat in Morocco, Isam El-Khamsi hosted by the leader of the Sierra Leone Jamaat, Amir Musa Mewa.

This year’s Jalsa Salana is the 60th, celebrating the impact of the Ahmadiyya mission in Sierra Leone and the launching of a translated Quran in Mende, the largest local dialect in Southern Sierra Leone.

Jalsa Salana is an annual gathering organised by the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, which was first established by its founder, Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, in 1891 in Qadian, India.

This spiritual convention serves as a platform for enhancing religious understanding, promoting brotherhood among attendees, and encouraging personal growth and self-improvement. The event typically includes speeches on Islamic teachings, prayers, and discussions on various social and moral issues.

Jalsa Salana is now held in many countries worldwide, with the largest gatherings in the UK, Germany, and Canada, attracting thousands of attendees. The event is known for its emphasis on peace, service to humanity, and unity among diverse communities.
