May God Make USA a Super Power in Spirituality and Morality: Imam Shamshad Nasir

Ahmadiyya Muslim Community celebrated Independence Day by spreading the message of peace, love, harmony, sacrifice, and loyalty to our fellow-citizens. Despite the hot weather and the Ramadan fast, Ahmadi youths had spent several days constructing and decorating the float for the Independence Day parade in Glen Ellyn, IL.

On the day of the parade, young boys, girls, and men marched along with the float, distributing candies, T-shirts and other memorabilia to kids along the way. Several members also joined the crowd of onlookers to cheer the parade participants.

After the parade, members were encouraged to gather at the Baitul Jaamay mosque, where Imam Shamshad A. Nasir reiterated the importance Islam lays on loyalty to one's motherland. Imam explained that it is the duty of every Muslim to make any sacrifice necessary to defend their homeland against all enemies. He prayed and asked all present to join with him in prayers that God make USA a super power in spirituality and morality, continue to bestow his bounties on our country, strengthen us as a nation, protect our freedom, and keep all our fellow-citizens safe.

Imam Shamshad also thanked God that as Islam is the champion of peace and advocates peace, Ahmadiyya Muslim Community is spreading the message of peace here in the USA and exercising its faith freely. He urged all members to set up good example of being good Muslim.

The Sierra Leonian Muslim Community also joined us for our afternoon program. After the Quran lesson delivered by Imam Shamshad Nasir, iftar and dinner were served. The day ended with Isha & Taraveeh prayers.
