A Fond Farewell and a Heartfelt Thank You to Sister Khadija

Some pictures from yesterday evening's meeting at Ingersoll Town Hall, where our Sister Khadija said farewell to the Town Council after four years of dedicated service.

I also had the opportunity to address the Mayor, councillors and municipal staff, highlighting the importance of diversity, representation and meaningful engagement with Muslim and minority communities, and the positive contribution these communities make to our wider society.

On behalf of the Muslim Association of Woodstock (MAOW), we would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to Sister Khadija for her hard work, dedication and commitment to the community of Ingersoll. She has also been an important voice and representative for our Muslim community across Oxford County.

It is not always easy to serve in public office, particularly as a woman, a Muslim and a member of a minority community. It takes courage, commitment and perseverance to step forward and represent others. Sister Khadija has done exactly that, and we should recognise and appreciate her contribution.

We pray that Allah Almighty rewards Sister Khadija abundantly for her efforts, accepts her service as a form of sadaqah, and blesses her with continued success in whatever lies ahead.

Perhaps one of her most lasting contributions will be the door she has helped open for others. We hope her example will encourage more members of our community, particularly our sisters and younger generation, to become involved in civic life, seek public office and have a voice in shaping the future of our communities.

Thank you, Sister Khadija. You have made a difference, and your contribution will not be forgotten.

May Allah almighty bless you and your family. Ameen.

Jazakallah,

Br Mohamed
