The national secretaries who form part of the central leadership are Nihal Kidiyoor, Dr. Naseem Ahmed, Tahoor Anwar, Rameas EK, Musab Qazi, Fawaz Shaheen and Abdul Hafeez.

The joint state conference of the Students Islamic Organisation and the Girls Islamic Organisation was held at the Al Jamia al Islamiya at Santhapuram in Malappuram on December 22 and 23. The conference titled ‘the power of faith for a beautiful life’ was inaugurated by Dr Thaha Mateen, national leader of the Jamaat-e-Islami.

More than 3,000 students from different parts of the state attended the conference.

Fatima Nafees, mother of Mohammed Najeeb who has been missing from the JNU, inaugurated the art exhibition titled ‘Oodum Pavum’ arranged at the Conference venue. The exhibition themed ‘defend the racist looks’ was noted for its distinct nature – it had set the rooms of Mohammed Najeeb and Rohit Vemula who had committed suicide in the HCU following caste discrimination by the university authorities, symbolic graves for those killed in state atrocities in Kashmir as well for those killed in mob lynching, representation of the Muslim woman as stereotyped by the mainstream public and media etc. The exhibition was organised by the students of the Al Jamia al Islamiya.
