Cherished Memories of Africa — Page 212
194 During my tenure at Farafenni in the Gambia, I was assigned the duty of Tabligh in Senegal. Senegal authorities did not issue visa to Pakistani citizens. I used to enter Senegal with the help of Senegal’s border police and would spend two weeks there because crossing the border repeatedly was difficult. I had to spend the nights mostly in villages as in towns there was risk of police action. A few times I was captured by police but Allah saved me miraculously each time. There is a village Chako in Kaolack region. A poor Ahmadi Demba Jallow lived near that. He had built two rooms with grass and millet stalks in the outskirts of the village. I used to sleep in one of those rooms because there was no threat from police there. Demba Jallow was a very poor but sincere Ahmadi. I still remember his hospitality in the form of millet and yoghurt. I used to help him as much as I could. May Allah reward him abundantly, Amin! Dawud Bah declares Ahmadiyyat on the wall Sare Gaory is a small town in Kaolack region of Senegal. An Arabic ustaz Dawud Bah lived there. He belonged to the Qadiriyya sect. Once our muallim Alhaj Jannee visited him for Tabligh. However, he refused to listen to him on the basis of hearsay. The muallim gave him an Arabic publication by the jama’at القــول الصریح for study. Dawud Bah accepted it and studied it carefully. Allah made that book a cause for his guidance. ( ـح ـول الصریـ القـ is a very useful book written by the Ahmadiyya muballigh Maulana Haji Nazir Ahmad Mubashir. It comprises of refutation of all the allegations against the jama’at. The Arabic teachers in Senegal have benefitted from this book a great deal).
