Our Mission: A Legacy of Service
Since 1984, we have pioneered initiatives that redefine what it means to live Islam holistically. From Lagos to Abuja, Cross River to Kwara, our journey is marked by milestones that inspire, uplift, and ignite change:
➢ MUSWEN: Uniting the Muslim Ummah of South-West Nigeria under one banner, fostering collaboration among scholars, leaders, and communities. The Companion, working in concert with other Muslim organisations being its usual philosophy, initiated and brought to fruition the establishment of Muslim Ummah of South-West Nigeria (MUSWEN). MUSWEN is an umbrella and coordinating body for Muslims in the region. Its membership spreads across prominent Muslim organisations, prominent Muslim personalities, League of Imams and Alfas, the academia, youth, scholars and clerics, and other stakeholders.
➢ The Academy for Ethics and Leadership (TAFEL): Cultivating ethical leaders who champion justice, transparency, and Islamic values in politics, business, and public service.
➢ Dawah Holiday Programme (DHP): Empowering 10,000+ youths with vocational skills, Qur’anic wisdom, and leadership training—shaping tomorrow’s torchbearers.
➢ Zakat & Sadaqah Fund: Distributing millions annually to eradicate poverty, fund education, and fuel entrepreneurship in alignment with Sharia.
➢ The Criterion: Our autonomous women’s wing, empowering Muslim women in business and professions to lead with faith, intellect, and influence. Through mentorship, skill-building programs, and advocacy, The Criterion ensures Muslim women thrive as pillars of family and society.
➢ Muslim Welfare Fund (MUWELF): A compassionate initiative addressing systemic poverty and vulnerability in conjunction with other sister Muslim organisation such as MICA etc. MUWELF provides sustained welfare support and emergency relief to uplift marginalized Muslims and restore dignity.
➢ Media Dawah: Illuminating hearts through Ramadan TV programs like “A Moment with The Companion”, reaching millions with timeless Islamic teachings.
➢ National Discourse: Leading critical dialogues on governance, economic justice, and Nigeria’s future—proving Islam is a solution, not just a sermon.
