Imaam Development Project pleads with organizations to increase sheikhs’ salaries

Imaam Development Project has appealed to organizations that employ sheikhs in Malawi to increase their salaries in order to uplift their welfare

One of the coordinators of Imaam Development Project Abdul Noor Fundi made the plea during a special iftaar program which was organized for imams from different areas in Mangochi district

Speaking with radio Islam Fundi said imams play a big role in their areas but that is unnoticed by many people and organizations

“The program is a reminder to the society that sheikhs should be treated as very important people,” Sheikh Fundi

In his remarks chairman of Muslim association of Malawi in Mangochi sheikh Fahad Kamsuli said the special iftaar program for sheikhs is the first of its kind to happen in the district

Sheikh Kamsuli urged Islamic organizations that employ sheikhs to abide by the minimum wage which government set

Speaking at the same function principal of Assalam Mualim institute Sheikh Muslim Abbas Vinjenje said sheikhs deserve the best treatment and respect
