Every Saturday, regardless of the weather, members from the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community from South London erect a stall amid busy locals, who pass the town's busiest shopping centre to buy goods.
This stand, or better known as a 'Tabligh Stall' illustrates the true message of Islam through its means of advertising and allows passer-bys to have a look at the Ahmadiyya literature as well as books, magazines, leaflets and contemporary issue articles that have been published by the community.
Khuddam and Ansar members, stand from 10 am in the morning until 4 pm in the Whitgift Centre in Croydon and do so without fail, every Saturday.
The stall has proved to be very successful. Leaflets about the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community's message are handed out. The location of the stall allows anyone to freely approach the Ahmadi members and ask questions about any misunderstanding they may have regarding Islam. The stall has surely eradicated the fear which many possessed against Islam.
Many faith-inspiring stories have also been narrated. Many, who knew about the community, praise the community's efforts in their humanitarian work as well as the strive they have for promoting peace, tolerance and brotherhood amongst multicultural communities; a dire need in today's society.
The members of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community find this task a privilege, to represent Islam at its forefront and to be the soldiers who work hard through the days of their rest, to promote and display the courageous tasks the members of the community carry out throughout the country; ranging from blood drives, annual retreats, to more subtle activities such as, visiting the poor or feeding the needy, as well as, promote the truthfulness of Islam and how it has truly brought about peace.
