Ahmadies are “renowned for working together to serve the greater good.”
When Prime Minister Stephen Harper participated in the unveiling of the largest mosque complex erected in Canada, he made unique remarks about the group of Muslims who built the spectacular 48,000-square-foot Baitun Nur mosque in Calgary. “Ahmadis are renowned for their devotion to peace, universal brotherhood and submission to the will of God – the core principles of true Islam,” said Prime Minister Harper. The mosque was inaugurated by the head of the worldwide Ahmadiyya Muslim community, His Holiness Hadhrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad.
The Prime Minister recognized the community, saying “They are also renowned for working together to serve the greater good through social, health and education initiatives, as well as mosque projects like this one. And wherever they live in the world, Ahmadis are renowned for participating in the larger community and peacefully co-existing with people of all faiths, languages and cultures.”
“Calgarians, Albertans and Canadians will see the moderate, benevolent face of Islam in this mosque and the people who worship here,” the Prime Minister said.
The Prime Minister paid special tribute to His Holiness the Kalipha [Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad] as a champion of peace and religious freedom. “We especially applaud the Kalipha for denouncing those who pervert faith by claiming it as a justification for violence,”
