The ACT chapter of Ahmadiyya Muslim Association held a popular Holy Quran Exhibition in Canberra on 13th of August 2013.

The exhibition was held at the ACT Legislative Assembly public reception room from 10am to 3pm.

The exhibitionhighlighted the peaceful message of Quran and also showcased what the Holy Scripture says about questions that have always fascinated humanity like creation of the Universe, life after death, end of the Universe and prophecies about future events and inventions.

The community hopes the exhibition helped the fellow Australians in understand Quranic teachings about various contemporary issues better.

"Understanding the Quranic teachings about various contemporary issues is an urgent need in the aftermath of 9/11 and various other large scale atrocities committed in the name of Islam," the community said in their press release. "Fellow citizens who don’t have a sufficient understanding of the basic teachings of Quran often give into the mis-perceptions that have become common place in the national media."

Ahmadiyya Muslim Association has translated the Holy Quran in 70 different languages and some of these translations were showcased at the exhibition.

The community expressed satisfaction with their efforts as the visitors showed great interest in the various translations and banners highlighting chosen topics such as, science in Quran, prophecies in Quran, creation of the Universe, life after death, end of the Universe and quotes about Quran by well-known non-Muslim intellectuals.

The exhibition also showcased a large number of other related books for example inluding, A Man of God, numerous editions of Review of Religions, Islam Response to Contemporary Issues and various brochures about peace, social responsibility and loyalty to the home land.

The exhibition was attended by numerous dignitaries including, ACT Minister for Multicultural Affairs, Joy Burch; Labor Member for Ginninderra, Mary Porter MLA; Canberra Liberals MLA, Nicole Lawder; Deputy High Commissioner of Pakistan, Asima Rabbani; Defence Advisor at High Commission of Pakistan, Brigadier Zahoor Ahmed.
