175 Fazal Ahmad Majoka Sahib stayed in Senegal for some time. As he had no visa, he could not get any employment there. He worked sincerely and diligently (for the jama’at). May Allah reward him abundantly! In addition to ta’lim and tarbiyyat he had many mosques built in the Kolda region. Muhammad Tufail Ghumman was sent to Sedhiou area. He also served there to the best of his ability. Sali Jabi When I went to Senegal for the first time, I went to Nguch village. There were three Ahmadi friends –Sali Jabi, Berom Ba and Alie Sow the photographer there. Mr Saali Jaabi’s house was situated on a well-known road. I spent many nights in that house over a period of about twenty years. Sali Jabi was an Arabic teacher. During my stay in Senegal as a muballigh, he worked with me as a muallim and maintained that relationship faithfully throughout his life. He stayed with me in Dakar most of the time. I had to travel frequently and he used to look after my household while I was away and I did not have to worry about them. He was a very honest and sincere friend. He was very helpful in my duties of tabligh and tarbiyyat. He also had the good fortune of participating in Jalsa Salana UK once. He passed away a few years ago. Hadrat Khalifatul Masih V (atba) offered funeral prayers in absentia for him and also eulogised him. He was a very sincere and virtuous friend, more like a member of my family. He stayed in my house like a sincere, beloved and sympathetic brother for a long time. May Allah, the Almighty have mercy on him and bless him with high ranks in heaven, Amin!
