While I watched the horrid news of a bomb explosion ripping through a street in Manhattan and New Jersey, as member of the Ahmadiyya Muslim community I feared the worst and prayed for the affected. To my utter dismay, the suspect was identified as Ahmad Khan Rahami, a U.S. citizen of Afghan descent, and moreover a Muslim.
Although his motive remains unclear, he may have committed this act as a retaliation to anti-Muslim harassment. However, the Holy Quran disapproves this in Chapter 5: "And let not the enmity of a people incite you to act otherwise than with justice. Be always just, that is nearer to righteousness."
Let's rid this society from the dangers of hate, extremism and paranoia. As Muslims who care about this country, join us for a weekly Coffee, Cake & True Islam initiative, an open house invitation to our local Al-Nur Mosque in Pittsburgh every Tuesday from 7 to 8 p.m. for an informal discussion about religion or other topics.
The healing process starts right here.
