To participate in propagating Islam throughout the world.

THE FEMAS ORGANIZER

Datu Alexander Lucman organized the Federation of Maranao Associations in Saudi (FEMAS) in 1995 with the support of some prominent Maranao leaders in Riyadh. Datu Lucman has been very instrumental in uniting the maranao community in Saudi Arabia, particularly in Riyadh by organizing FEMAS.  At least 20 maranao associations supported his ambitious plan by affiliating with it.

Before putting FEMAS into realization, Datu Lucman had been very active in promoting the social and economic welfare of not only the Maranaos but the entire Filipinos in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. He has been in the Kingdom for several years but his popularity and good image have never been tainted due to his being approachable, friendly, and helpful fellow in addition to his being religious.
