Nasrul Lahi-L-Fatih Society, NASFAT has charged its leaders to lead by example as enshrined in the Holy Quran and in the practice of the Holy Prophet Muhammed SAW.

NASFAT National officers from headquarters, Vice President 2,  Prof. Abdulrafiu Adegbola and Desk Officer Alhaji Salman Abiola Mogboyin were on ground for the induction exercise.
Speaking, Vice President 2,  Prof. Abdulrafiu Adegbola who represented the President, NASFAT worldwide, Alhaji Niyi Yusuf during the  induction said the exercise was meant to refresh the memories of the incoming executives, share the dos and don’ts of NASFAT so as to be able to face the tasks ahead of them.
“Some of these things they may know, some they may need to refresh their memories and understand the policies and the constitution of NASFAT in order to aid them in their operations.
“In the course of the induction, we do advise that there be a retreat as a follow up to be able to throw more light on some issues because it is impossible to cover everything in details”. He said.
As a member, you must know what your constitution stands for.” He emphasized.
He challenged the executives to step up dawa’ah programmes keeping in mind NASFAT core principles of ‘HELD’.
That is, the promotion of health of members, provision of empowerment, improving the livelihood of members and those in the society through Zakkat programme.

The Desk Officer Alhaji Salman Abiola Mogboyin giving a run down of NASFAT’s constitution/code of conduct enjoined the incoming executive members to follow the rules and regulations to the letter as that will help in the discharge of their duties
 “As a people, it is because most of us don’t do the right thing, that is why things don’t work out for us. So, as an executive of NASFAT once you see the right thing to do, please do it.
Work together as a team. Strive for success to bring positive change. Supporting it with the verse in the Holy Quran, he said , “Allah does not change the condition of a community until people change what is in their hearts.”
A leader must possess certain qualities amongst which are, he must be knowledgeable. Stressing that, NASFAT emphasizes on the pursuit of knowledge, both Islamic and western education.
“You must know your creator ‘Allah,’ and how to worship ‘Him’
How do you serve Allah if you don’t know Allah? So you must search for knowledge.
Allah says, you must know Me before you can worship Me.
NASFAT is known for prayers. We don’t believe in anything but prayers.” He added.
 National Executive Council (NEC) member, Engr. Muhyideen Alimi Yusuf emphasized on team work, the need for a succession plan as well as grooming the youth for a better tomorrow.
“There must be a succession plan. We must groom our youth and let’s abide by the principles of cooperate governance.
Whatever we know that we can contribute meaningfully, let’s do it. And if you’re not able to contribute, follow them with prayers.”
