Muallim Omar Farouq Fiifi Dawson, Naib Qaid Umumi for Ekumfi Zone has reminded members of the Majlis Ansarullah, Ekumfi Zone that “Obedience to Khilafat is not submission to man but submission to a divine order. Muallim Dawson said this at the 2nd Ekumfi Ansarullah Zonal rally held on 25th May 2025 at Ekumfi Otuam under the theme “Obedience to the Institution of Khalifat, a Panacea for Socio-economic Development”. Muallim Omar Farouq Fiifi Dawson, the keynote speaker, explained to participants that Khalifat (spiritually guided leadership) is the path to a brighter future. He stressed that in Khalifat lies the solution to our disunity, economic struggles, and moral decay. He added that Khalifat establishes a system where economic policies are rooted in Islamic values such as justice, compassion, and equitable distribution. Muallim Dawson also explained that obedience is key to reaping the benefits of Khilafat, citing the Holy Quran (Surah An-Nisa, 4:60), which says “O ye who believe! Obey Allah and obey the Messenger and those in authority among you…”. He cautioned that disobedience leads to chaos, while obedience fosters unity, peace, and prosperity.
