This year the Fazle Umar mosque of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community at 637 Randolph St in Dayton Ohio, was recognised for displaying the American flag along with Ahmadiyya flag year round, and a plaque was awarded.
Imam Shamshad Nasir, Regnioal Missionary of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community of Midwest region along with the president of the Dayton Chapter , received the plaque for Dayton Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, and addressed the gathering on the subject of “Who we are as muslims and as Americans.” The Imam outlined the Community’s faith history and its high regard for all faiths as heavenly teachers sent to reform humanity. Imam Shamshad explained the meaning of Islam and muslims, and elaborated how true muslims are loyal to their country of residence. He also explained how peace cannot be attained without justice and the importance of acting justly for peace without personal interest. Islam teaches us to sacrifice our rights for others, he further explained.
