The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community has organized these events, to remove misunderstanding about Islam and Muslims, and to preach real Islamic teachings to public and individuals. These events were started a few months ago, and there have been many good experiences. Men, women even children are attending these events. These events are held regularly every week in big and small towns and cities of USA.
Imam Shamshad from Chicago Illinois was invited as a guest speaker. He was also accompanied by Mr. Mashhood Mirza. Besides members, non-Muslim guests were present and asked various questions.
The Theme of this event was " Muhammad The Mercy for all Mankind."
A Chinese friend asked questions about ISIS. Why do they call themselves Muslims while they don't follow Islamic teachings? Why Muslims are fighting among themselves and does Islam teach peace or terrorism?

I am pleased to learn of this recent event in Ankeny! Wish I could be there: it is always a joy to hear Imam Shamshad speak to any group!
ReplyDeleteIt is very necessary that the quiet, day-to-day actions of true Muslims be publicized as they go about strengthening the fabric of this great nation. Be it healing the sick. bringing up the young, or teaching life-skills to eager learners, peaceful Muslims are working for a better world every day! Events such as the Ankeny meet serve to dispel the false notion that Muslims are somehow at odds with progressive American concepts.
I have learned much from the website alislam.org, which I recommend to all readers!
Peace to all!
