Lagos, Dec. 23, ’25 (TNZ) The Muslim Congress (TMC) is set to host thousands of delegates at the 32nd edition of its National Islamic Training Programme (NITP).
TheNewsZenith reports that the NITP is scheduled to hold from Wednesday, Dec. 24 to Sunday, Dec. 28.
The event is part of TMC’s annual spiritual and capacity-building camping programme for Muslims across Nigeria.
For S/W Zone 1, the programme will hold at Vanguards Academy, along Ijebu–Epe Expressway, Odosengolu in Ogun State.
M uslim professionals, artisans, entrepreneurs, scholars, and community leaders seeking spiritual rejuvenation, moral clarity, and practical guidance for navigating contemporary life are expected to attend the annual event.
TheNewsZenith reports that the theme of this year’s NITP is “Guidance and Direction for Today’s Muslims”
The training programme is designed to respond to the realities confronting Muslims who are striving to balance faith, work, family responsibilities, and ethical conduct in an increasingly demanding environment.
Addressing Real-Life Challenges Facing Muslims
The organisers explained that many Muslims today struggle with prioritising acts of worship. Such acts include prayer, fasting, charity, and sacrifice. This is amid the pressure to generate income and survive economically.
Others experience spiritual dryness and disconnection, whether in the midst of material success or financial hardship.
A growing number also face difficulties managing time between work, family life, and devotion to Allah, often resulting in burnout, confusion, and loss of inspiration for righteous living.
Organisers have carefully structured the 32nd NITP to provide practical Qur’an- and Sunnah-based solutions to these challenges.
