As Ahmadi Muslim Americans, we extend heartfelt wishes of peace, blessings, and merriment to our compatriots of all faiths amid the New Year.
Who are we? We’re your friendly neighborhood Muslims for peace, life, loyalty and love who believe the Promised Messiah has come in the person of his holiness Mirza Ghulam Ahmad of Qadian. We believe God sent Ahmad, like Jesus, to end religious wars, condemn bloodshed, and reinstitute morality, justice, and peace, championing Islam’s true teachings. Today we’re led by and united under the real Khalifa of Islam, his holiness Mirza Masroor Ahmad, who illustrates peaceful service to God and humanity.
We’re grateful to live and serve alongside you under God with indivisibility in the land of the free and the home of the brave.
During 2015, we collected enough bags of blood to save hundreds of American lives through our American Red Cross biannual blood drives, hosted and spoke at numerous interfaith gatherings in diverse centers of worship, and held community engagements.
We look forward to another promising year of unifying forces in advancing education and combating radicalization while strengthening our ties of affection, as true Islam teaches.
Let’s keep aflame our togetherness in demonstrating “love for all, hatred for none.”
