The Ahmadiyya Muslims of Oshkosh, Wisconsin, organized an event to commemorate and celebrate the founding of their community 126 years ago by the Holy Founder of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community (AMC), Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad of Qadian, a small town in the Punjab, India.
The remembrance has come to be known affectionately as the "Promised Masiah Day" in the memory of Hazrat Ahmad who claimed to be the 'promised reformer' of the latter days, foretold by the religious scriptures. Hence, the title "Promised Messiah" is designated for him, especially in the Abrahamic faiths.
According to the report compiled by the organizers, the event hosted local as well as the outside members from Zion and Milwaukee communities.
The program, organized in the community's traditional format, opened with the recitation of the Holy Quran, followed by recitation of sacred hymns composed by the Holy Founder of the community.
Among the speakers, Naser Shams, Mohammad Sabir, Saad Ahmad, Fazal Ahmad, and Hasseim Babatu spoke on various topics related the theme of the event.
Imam Faran Rabbani, Missionary of the community's Midwest region spoke to highlight the status of Hazrat Ahmad of Qadian and his grandeur as the Promised Messiah.
National Vice President of the AMC, Malik Masoud Ahmad, also addressed the attendees.
On the lighter side, the program included a competitive game of Jeopardy to to enhance the knowledge about the Promised Messiah, his life, and the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community.
