By nineteen sixties quite a few Muslim Organizations had established themselves in the United Kingdom and the pressure started increasing for this Mosque to be reverted to its originally intended position of an Islamic Center. I was approached by the Secretary and the Treasurer of the Trust to accept the Imamate. I made it clear to them that I was a Sunni Muslim and showed them copies of some published articles, which I had written against Mirzaiyat. They told me that they were aware of my views and that they considered it as an asset.
Hadi kufikia miaka ya 1968 ni Jumuiya chache tu za Kiislamu. Zilizokuwa zimejiimarisha nchini Uingereza na shinikizo likaanza kuongezeka kuwa Msikiti huu urudishwe katika hadhi yake iliyokusudiwa awali ya kuwa kituo cha Kiislamu. Akanijia Katibu na mweka hazina wa Baraza la wadhamini kuniomba nikubali kuwa Imamu. Nikawabainishia wazi kuwa mimi ni Muislamu wa Sunni na nikawaonesha nakala za baadhi ya makala zilizochapishwa ambazo nilikuwa nimeziandika kuipinga Ahmadiya. Wao wakaniambia kuwa fikra zangu walikuwa wanazifahamu fika na kwamba waliziona kama ni rasilimali.
