The head of the Ahmadiyya Muslim group in Guinea Bissau says claims about British funding are false. Muhammad Hassan Memon shared this in an interview on Friday. He was at a big yearly meeting in Safim.
Memon said his group is ready to push back on wrong ideas. Some say the British made Ahmadis to split up Muslims. But Memon called this a "big false allegation."
"We have love and respect," he said. "Allah will judge between us and them." He noted that Allah does not like lies. People should look into things before saying untrue words.
Memon said members give money to help their faith grow. It comes from them, not the British. "We are not sponsored by anyone but ourselves," he said clearly.
He shared that the group's founder began these meetings. They are for remembering Allah, not worldly things. The first one had 75 people. But now, over 200 countries have them.
About 40,000 Ahmadi Muslims live in Guinea Bissau, according to Memon.
