PRESS RELEASE!
MPAC OPEN DAYs EVENT, 2018.
From Monday 22nd to Sunday 28th October 2018, the Muslim Public Affairs Centre (MPAC), Nigeria will be holding its Annual Open Days event at its office 21 Salvation Road, Opebi, Ikeja, Lagos, Nigeria.
At this event, MPAC will play host to members of the public and stakeholders – our neighbours, volunteers, donors, sponsors, media, etc. The open days’ event is designed to get the public acquainted with the activities, programmes/projects of MPAC and act as one of the platforms to help us meet our reporting obligations.
On these days (from 11.00am to 3.00pm each day), MPAC trustees, directors and team leads will be on hand to welcome and take questions/suggestions and comments from members of the public who attend the event.
MPAC is also using this medium to encourage our neighbours, including many businesses and churches in the neighbourhood, to attend on any day of their choice to know about us, about the Muslims and about Islam. We are looking forward to very interactive and stimulating sessions, as it will be a good opportunity for our guests to extract information from us on any issues of interest and importance. We desire to let them know of their right in Islam that we maintain a good relationship with them, as the Prophet is reported to have stated that;
“The best friend in the sight of Allah is the one who is good to his companions, and the best neighbour in the sight of Allah is the one who is good to his neighbours.” [Reported by Tirmidhi]
“He will not enter paradise, the one whose neighbour is not safe of him.” [Reported by Muslim]He, peace be upon him, was also reported to have commanded as follows:
“Whoever believes in Allah and the Day of Judgement, let him do good to his neighbour…” [Reported by Muslim]
