In keeping up with the importance of Libraries in the Madaris within our Jamaats, the Africa Federation Tabligh Board (AFTAB) in conjunction with the World Federation donated story books to promote reading within our children.

Libraries play a big role in promoting reading and our madaris being our spiritual institution needs to be well equipped to fulfil this crucial role. A rich library providing books, audio-visuals to learners who are thirsty of knowledge, guidance and enlightenment is a necessity. No society can progress, move on the path of development without cultivating and inculcating the culture of reading into its people. Reading is the key to science and technology.
One of the aims of the Africa Federation Tabligh Board (AFTAB) is to raise the standards of the Madaris under its jurisdiction by assisting them to have well equipped books and educational materials to assist them provide quality education to the children and enable them to play that fundamental role of building a community based on Divine principles.
In this perspective the Board in conjunction with the World Federation Madrasah Centre of Excellence (MCE) took the initiative of donating books to Madaris across Africa, each Madaris has received 67 Story books. AFTAB is looking into sourcing more books but we would also like to encourage Jamaats to set a budget into sourcing books for their Madaris.
The Board records its appreciation to the World Federation MCE for their support towards this Project and requests members of the Community to create a reading environment within their homes so that we develop this habit within our Children.
