The event continued with the distribution of Muhammadiyah Membership Cards (KTAM) to several Muhammadiyah residents representing PCIM UK and Ireland.
The KTAM distribution was not merely and administrative agenda, but a symbol of emotional bond and commitment to Muhammadiyah and to serving the organization abroad.
The rare opportunity for members of the Muhammadiyah diaspora to gather overseas became a precious moment. The celebration of Muhammadiyah’s 113th Anniversary also served as a chance to ease the longing of being far from the homeland.
