SHORT HISTORY The quest for Islamic knowledge and brotherly/sisterly/family association led to the forum where Muslim faithful came together to rub minds with learned Islamic scholars to know more about the religion favored by Almighty Allah – ISLAM. The aim is to maximize favorably the leisure time that exists amongst Muslims. The need to spend these precious leisure hours judiciously arose amongst a few Muslims who rose to the challenge. Istijabah Muslim Association was developed out of a previously unregistered family-oriented prayer group. Phone calls were made to some selected Muslim from all walks of life, and consequently, on Sunday, March 5, 2001, the society now named Istijabah Muslim Association has its inaugural prayer session at the residence of its pioneer president, Alhaji Mohammed Adewale.
