A two member Ahmadiyya Muslim delegation comprising of Ahmadiyya Chief Missionary Sri Lanka, Moulavi A.B. Musthaq Ahmad and National Director, Faith Outreach, A. Abdul Aziz, visited the Elections Secretariat and delivered a copy of the Holy Qur’an Sinhala Translation to the office of the Commissioner of Elections Mr. Mahinda Deshapriya.
The Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama’at Sri Lanka launched the Sinhala Translation along with original Arabic text of the Muslim holy scriptures, the Holy Quran, at National Education & Book Fair in Colombo last July.
The Ahmadiyya Muslim delegation also visited University Grants Commission (UGC) in Colombo and met with UGC Chairman Prof. Mohan De Silva who commended the efforts put in by the community for the Sinhala Translation.
Prof. De Silva said he is very much interested to know more about Islam for which, he said, he has an affection and termed Islam as "Fine Religion." Chairman UGC – a religious-minded Scholar – opened the Qur’an in the presence of the delegation and said,'I will read it and understand what it says."
He also expressed his dismay about 'certain elements who creates a bad image of this fine religion' and described them as very few.
The delegation talked about the tireless efforts being made by the Khalifa and the Ahmadiyya worldwide leader, Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad, for spreading the true teachings of Islam through various means, particularly addressing lawmakers at Capitol Hill, EU Parliament, in Ireland Parliament, and recently the Dutch Parliament.
About the Ahmadiyya Jama’at, the delegation introduced it as 'One Community – One Leader,' with a motto: Love For All; Hatred For None.
"People should read and understand this Holy Book – that is our prayers and wish," the press statement said
