With reasons to be thankful every day, Thanksgiving allows us to share these feelings with our family and friends. It s also extremely important that we return our thanks to the whole society.
The Ahmadiyya Muslim Youth Association, the religious youth group to which I belong, helps me demonstrate this return of gratitude by initiatives such as helping feed the hungry and donating blood.
Just within the past year, the Muslims for Life campaign meant to be done in the remembrance of the victims of 9/11 has collected more than 5,000 units of blood and has fed 55,000 people.
The prophet Muhammad once stated "One who is not thankful to people, is not thankful to Allah."
So during this time of giving thanks, I wish to encourage my fellow Americans to follow the true spirit of Thanksgiving and to charitable to those who need it.
SALMAN MUNIR, Bryan
