The aim of the Ziafat department is to provide food and refreshments for Lajna Ima’illah events which take place throughout the year. Our national Ziafat team works hard to prepare for these events to ensure we are able to meet every individual’s needs, and provide a good service.

Objectives
From the past few years the aim of the Ziafat department has been to ensure:
- Lajna Ima’illah members and children understand the etiquettes of eating and to keep food wastage at a minimum whether on jamaat events or in they’re day to day lives.
- To provide Lajna with table manner settings and high tea settings so that our young girls are able to learn the basics of hosting dinners/events. We have sent out videos as ideas to all Lajna members so they can be inspired and try them out in there own homes.
- To promote the importance of cleanliness. We urge our Ziafat secretaries to encourage local jamaat members to promote cleanliness in there homes so that their children can also learn the importance of cleanliness. When cleanliness begins from home, it helps with jamaat events that take place at a local level and then also at a larger scale such as Jalsa and Ijtema.
