A group of Ahmadi Muslim youngsters of Bangalore visited door to door in the Posh Indira Nagar Locality, spreading the Message of Peace and removing the misunderstandings about Islam.
About 20 members from the department of Dawat-ilAllah of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Youth auxiliary (Majlis Khuddamul Ahmadiyya) including 3 children gathered in the morning of Sunday the 15th of June, planned the information packages for the day and selected various blocks of Indira Nagar for distribution.
Splitting up into 5 balanced teams the teams covered nearly 300 houses in 4 hours. Almost all the recipients responded positively, appreciated the work of the youth very much and said it was the need of the hour. Many rightly pointed out that today the entire world sees Islam and Muslims in a totally wrong way and drives such as these could certainly help in removing a large amount of misunderstandings and suspicions.
Each of the teams carried material such as the Messages of Peace pamphlets, introduction to the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, leaflets about the real philosophy of Jihad, etc. in English, Kannada and Urdu.
Many of the people whose dwellings were visited talked about the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, asked how it were different from the other Muslims, what were their efforts taken for the betterment of the society, etc. Some even asked theological questions which were answered but the team members.
Serious discussions also took place at a couple of residences which went on for hours. For example, one with a non-Ahmadi Muslim who was new to hearing about Ahmadiyyat and was very interested to know in depth about its beliefs. He was very delighted to get his personal doubts cleared on many issues on Islam.
At one of the houses where a team visited a lady was so overwhelmed with the efforts taken by us she offered fruits and money for their refreshment.
Team leaders said it was a very good experience for all their members and for many it was a good learning opportunity as well.
