EDITORIAL COMMENT WHILE WE WERE IN “COMA”!
T
hank God, THE T R U T H Newspaper in NOT a business venture belonging to any worldly individual investor or corporate business outfit. Were it so, it most probably would have died long ago. But today, by the special grace and mercy of Almighty Allah, the publication still remains, despite all seemingly insurmountable challenges and obstacles, and it still proudly maintains its unrivalled status of being the FIRST a n d L O N G E S T SURVIVING MUSLIM WEEKLY Newspaper in
Nigeria since 1951! To Allah the Omni-present be the glory! Yes, we were in “Coma” for more than two months now due to a “production accident” in which we were involved in the process of producing a SPECIAL EDITION of the paper, which was excruciatingly devastating to the production team, and eventually sent us into a sudden “coma”. However, despite the unfortunate incident, we were not totally unconscious of the happenings around us. Hence, now that we are fully resuscitated, in fact, better, healthier, stronger and more refreshing, by the grace of
Allah the Almighty, we wish to use this our refreshed outing to briefly recapitulate some of the important events that passed-by during the period, probably either unnoticed or un-reported by others, so that we can set the memory of you our loving teeming readers back on track. While we were in “coma”, a high-powered delegation comprising about twenty-five delegates, led by the Amir N i g e r i a , A l h a j i ( D r, ) M a s h h u d Adenrele Fashola, raised the Nigerian flag high at the 2013 Jalsa Salana of the United Kingdom Jama'at.
