Antecedents
As early as October 1926 (Volume 1 - History of Lajna), the Sanat and Dastakari division began its journey. At that time the women of the Jamaat decided to sell their hand-woven and ready-made cotton garments for the purpose of raising money for the Jamaat.
In October of this year a gathering was organized at the house of Hazrat Mirza Bashir Ahmad (R). Some items were sold here and the proceeds were deposited in the Tabligh Fund.
In 1926, the following year, the first exhibition was held to showcase the handicrafts made by the Lajnas. Tickets were available to enter the exhibition. The winner of this exhibition was Amatul Mugni Shamim Sahiba, a Lajna who worked on silver thread with the word 'Alaisallaho' on the blue velvet banner. He was awarded a silver medal.
By 1928, an exhibition was held every year thereafter. The idea is to turn this work into a separate Lajna section, which will include the exhibition and a section.
