KAMPALA.
The Secretary General of the Uganda Muslim Supreme Council (UMSC), Hajji Abbas Muluubya Ssekyanzi, on Monday hosted Hajji Shafiq Mulumba, a prominent Kampala-based businessman and son of the late former Chief Kadhi of Uganda, Sheikh Kassimu Mulumba, at his office at the UMSC headquarters in Old Kampala.
The two, longtime friends, shared light moments before proceeding to the gravesite of Sheikh Kassimu Mulumba, who was laid to rest at the UMSC headquarters in December 1986. Adjacent to his grave lies that of his close contemporary, the late Mufti of Uganda, Sheikh Saad Ibrahim Luwemba, who passed away in July 1997.
Mr Muluubya and his guest were later joined by other UMSC officials, including Hon. Counsel Hajji Muhammad Ali Aluma, Deputy Secretary General in charge of Finance and Administration; Hon. Hajji Muhamood Kateregga Namuguzi, Executive Member; Sheikh Imran Ssali, Secretary for Religious Affairs; Hajji Abubakar Bbosa from the Sharia Department; and Hajjat Madina Nakalema, a longtime volunteer in Women’s Affairs.
Together, they offered fervent supplications, beseeching Almighty Allah to bless the souls of the departed leaders during the holy month of Ramadan.
