Constitution and Official
All this time the Jamat had functioned without any
formal guidelines. An important committee was commissioned to work on the
constitution. It consisted of elders Abdulkader Yakub, Abdulrahim
Goralwalla and Abdulhamid Hathiyani as
the coordinator. On November 10, 2001 the draft constitution was presented to
the Jamat at a meeting, which has come to be known as the “constitution
meeting.” It was held at Iqbal Restaurant. After a good discussion and a few
amendments the constitution was adopted with an overwhelming majority thus
creating history for our Jamat and giving us a firm foundation and a guiding
principle. This pioneering event was soon followed by another historic
milestone when the Jamat officially got registered with the Government of
Canada on March 11, 2002 as a non-profit charitable organization. The first
officially registered office bearers thus became Abdulhamid Hathiyani as the
President, Ghulamhabib Yakub as the Actg. Vice President, Mohamed Zahir Salyani
as the Hon Secretary and Mohamed Kadernani as the Hon Treasurer. To commemorate
this historic achievement our first publication “An Najm”, A Rising Star, was
initiated with a 2-day event organized in August 2002. These momentous
achievements gave further boost to the morale and spirits and our own Website –
www.nmjcanada.com – was launched in May 2002 to keep our members and others all
over informed of our activities.
These have been major steps in our short history paving the way to many positive things to come, Inshallah.
