Ansar-Ud-Deen Society of Nigeria will tomorrow inaugurate the Board of Trustees of its newly-created Ansar-Ud-Deen Foundation. The event will take place at La Scala Restaurant, MUSON Centre, Onikan, Lagos.
The society described the inauguration as an important step in strengthening its long history of faith-based service, education and community development.
For more than 100 years, Ansar-Ud-Deen has promoted Islamic knowledge, moral values and social support across communities. The foundation is expected to help organise and expand these efforts in a more structured and sustainable way.
According to the President of the society, Prince Mosediq Kazeem, SAN, the foundation would focus on major areas such as education, health care, youth empowerment and community development.
He said it would operate based on Qur’anic principles of charity, fairness and compassion.

He said the foundation would act as a permanent endowment to support key projects of the society.”
One of its main responsibilities will be the renovation and maintenance of Ansar-Ud-Deen mosques nationwide.
“Our mosques must be accommodating and welcoming. We must be proud of any Ansar-Ud-Deen mosque we visit,” he said.
Other areas of focus include improving the infrastructure of Ansar-Ud-Deen schools, supporting Summit University, Offa, and funding social welfare and empowerment programmes for Muslims and the larger community.
The foundation will also handle investments and donations on behalf of the society, ensuring resources are well managed, transparently reported and invested in halal and ethical ventures that provide long-term benefits.
