A Call for Unity in a Time of Division
Imam Mohammad Atae Rabbi Hadi, Ahmadiyya Muslim Association, Queensland, emphasised the urgency of fostering unity during these challenging times:
"Now, more than ever, there is a need for people to come together. We must showcase this unity in mainstream media to promote positive relations, brotherhood, equality, loyalty, and friendship. Ramadan holds immense significance for billions of Muslims, and this will be an opportunity for the wider community to experience a Ramadan evening in a mosque. Jews, Muslims, Christians, Hindus, and people of all backgrounds will unite and break bread together, demonstrating solidarity in a time of division."
Honouring a Legacy of Peace
The mission of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community aligns with the teachings of its founder, Mirza Ghulam Ahmad of Qadian, who said:
"The task for which I have been commissioned is that the chasm that has arisen between God and the relationship with His creation should be removed and to re-establish love and sincerity and by showing the truth, to end religious conflict and lay the foundations of peace."
