A poster sign in a polite shade of green with a blue band in the bottom stands out nicely on a yellow bus in Sydney, Australia. But that is not all. The words carried on the poster are actually more eloquent.
“Love for all; Hatred for none” is the first line of the message on the poster that is placed on buses as part of the national peace campaign by the Ahmadiyya Muslim Association of Australia (AMA), whose website, www.alislam.org.au is displayed in the blue band in the bottom of the poster.
The phrase “Peace, loyalty, freedom, equality, and respect” is written in bold white in the middle of the message.
Placed under the charge of its youth wing, Majlis Khuddamul Ahmadiyya (MKA), AMA – Australia has started a bus ad campaign to promote the Ahmadiyya message of peace and that Islam dictates loyalty towards ones homeland.
“We need to fulfill our duty to God and His creation and reflect our commitment to peace in our daily lives and equality of mankind,” reports Murad Mahmood Khan of MKA-Australia.
The report is published in Al-Masroor, a monthly publication of MKA Australia.
Mr. Khan explains in his report that the teaching brought by the Holy Founder of Islam, Prophet Muhammad (on whom be peace and blessing of God) was revived by Hadhrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (peace be upon him) for this age.
Ahmadi Muslims stand to promote the values Islam established over 1,400 years ago through Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), writes Mr. Khan. “This message was revived by the founder of our community, Hadhrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (peace be upon him).”
Ahmadis are the only community of Muslims to have accepted Hadhrat Ahmad as the Promised Messiah and Mahdi who was prophesied for this age.
Hadhrat Ahmad, found the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community in 1889.
Based upon the interpretations made by Hadhrat Ahmad, Ahmadis reject the concept of a violent jihad, promote equal respect for all religions and abide by the laws of the land wherever they happen to call home.
“The Ahmadiyya Muslim community lives up to its motto, “LOVE FOR ALL, HATRED FOR NONE”, and with this in mind we convey our Message of Peace to all," further reads Khan’s report.
