As we all know, by the grace of Allah (SWT), AMP is growing by each passing year and scaling up its activities to serve the Ummah better in India and Abroad. This has been made possible only because of dedicated volunteers, support of various Institutions and certain Individuals who have taken the responsibility of running this Organisation their life goal.
 
However, in this journey of expansion and growth, we need support from more people and importantly from those who are influential members of the society and are ‘Thought Leaders’ and ‘Change Makers’.
