Three day 121st Annual Convention of Ahmadiyya Muslim Jamat to begin on December 29 - The Times of India
AMRITSAR: Ahmadiyya's from across the
world including Pakistan would converge
at Qadian in Gurdaspur district to
participate in the three day 121st Annual
Convention of Ahmadiyya Muslim Jamat,
India beginning on December 29th.
The Ahmadiyya Muslim community
within Islam was founded in 1889 and
spans over 250 countries with
membership exceeding tens of millions
having current headquarters in UK,
informed Secretary Press Committee,
Sheikh Mujahid Ahmad while talking to
TOI on Tuesday.
Notably In Pakistan Ahmadiyya's have
been declared as non Muslims, they are
not allowed to call their places of
worship as mosque, give azan and were
subjected to severe punishments if they
call themselves Muslim. The community
have been raising their voice at
international level against the alleged
brutality of Pakistan government towards
them.
He informed that it was the only Islamic
organization to endorse a separation of
mosque and state. "Over a century ago,
Mirza Ghulam Ahmad , founder of
Ahmadiyya sect, taught his followers to
protect the sanctity of both religion and
government by becoming righteous souls
as well as loyal citizens" he said. Deputy
Secretary Maqbool Ahmad said that the
aim of the gathering was that the
members of the Jamaat should be able to
derive religious benefits and at the same
time they should acquire more of the
knowledge and advance in their
realization of God.
Another aim of the Convention, Maqbool
informed was to promote peace in the
world, to project the pristine teachings of
Islam and to promote the bond between
human beings and Allah. Likewise
safeguarding the rights of women,
guaranteeing the human rights,
controlling the rise of 'fundamentalism'
and so on will also be deliberated in the
convention in the light of the time-
invariant lofty Islamic teachings.
Various departments of the Jama'at
Ahmadiyya have already become active
to provide security, boarding and
lodging, medical facilities and other such
services to the guests. On December 30th
convention will be celebrated as All
Religions' Day when scholars from
different religions and faiths will give
discourses on peace and brotherhood
from their respective scriptures.
