‘People who persecute in the name of religion are totally ignorant of the essence of religion. Religion is a metamorphosis of hearts. Religion is not politics and its adherent do not make political parties- it is the transformation of hearts- transformation for the good of the soul. The home of the religion is in the depth of hearts. It is beyond the sway of the sword. Mountains are not moved by the swords, nor are hearts changed by force. While persecution in the name of religion is the repetitive theme in the history of human aggression, freedom of conscience is the Quran’s repetitive theme,’ Hadrat Mirza Tahir Ahmad, IV successor of Ahmadiyya Muslim Community.
Ahmadiyya Muslim Community Glen Ellyn Chapter will offer special prayers for the victim and their families on Thursday, Dec. 18th at 6 pm and Friday, Dec. 19th at 1 pm in Masjid Baitul Jamaay.
