It is an auxiliary of Majlis Khuddam-ul-Ahmaddiya (MKA) for Ahmadi boys between the ages of 7 and 15. "Atfal"is derived from the Arabic word for "young children". MAA Australia is comprised of 23 Majalis in 4 regions.
Purpose
The purpose of MAA, according to Hadhrat Khalifatul Masih II (ra), was to inculcate the virtues of regularity in daily prayers, hard work, and truthfulness in the youth of Ahmadiyyat. These traits should be part and parcel of every Tifl as he matures into a Khadim.
