The Ahmadiyya Muslim Youth Association South London (AMYA) is hosting a charity football tournament this Sunday (April 14th) to raise money for Multiple Sclerosis Croydon.
Called the AMYA Friendship Cup, the tournament will take place at the Oasis Academy in Shirley.
So far, teams from the local police force and fire brigade have agreed to take part as well as a number of businesses and representatives from local religious organisations.
Mubarak Shams, regional head of the AMYA Croydon comma told YourLocalGuardian.co.uk that he hopes the diverse communities of Croydon will see the tournament as way of coming together under one banner of "mutual friendship and love".
He added: "The event, a first for Croydon, will be a friends and family gathering where everyone is invited to come along and enjoy the day, but, most importantly, raise much needed money for an incredibly worthy cause."
According to the NHS, multiple sclerosis currently affects around 100,000 people in the UK.

It was political expediency, and not religious belief, that had prompted Bhutto to shepherd the passage of this amendment. This is corroborated in an informative article recently carried by a Lahore-based newspaper which recalled that he had to persuade Dr Abdus Salam to remain in the government and had even promised that he “would undo the second amendment one day.” Two years later, in 1976, Bhutto wrote to Sir Zafrullah Khan extolling his services for the Muslims of South Asia, particularly during his one-term presidency of the All India Muslim League.
ReplyDeleteWith the adoption of the second amendment, Pakistan’s only Nobel laureate and its first foreign minister were, in one sweep, declared non-Muslims. It is strangely ironical that during his recent visit to Islamabad, Egypt’s Islamist president, Muhammad Morsi, did not have the least hesitation in saying that Dr Abdus Salam was a source of pride for the entire Islamic world.
