Imam of the Baitul Hameed Mosque in Chino, California, and the southwest regional missionary of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, Syed Shamshad Ahmad Nasir, attended the National Day of Prayer interfaith event in the neighboring city of Upland, on May 1st, 2014.
The event, organized by the Upland Interfaith Council, was held at the Upland City Hall courtyard at 6 pm.
Imam Shamshad offered 'Prayer for Peace,' reminding everyone to be active participants in the cause of peace.
Quoting from chapter 10 of the Holy Quran, Imam Shamshad said living in peace goes hand-in-hand with justice, respect, and better understanding of each other.
"Everyone know the expression 'you can't just talk the talk -- you have to walk the walk,' Imam Shamshad said. "But now days this saying has become so well known that I feel it no longer has the impact that it should."
"Therefore," Imam reminded, "in order to impress it more deeply on our minds, we must all strive to "walk the talk"."
Reverend James Pike, Pastor of Grace Lutheran Church appreciated Imam's message of peace.
There were several faith-tradition organizations represented at the event including, Islam, Judaism, Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Baha'i, First Church of Christ Scientist, St. Anthony Catholic Church, and Unity Church of Pomona.
