New Year – on Path to Peace

This past year has been an intense stressful year for many individuals around the world. Many have suffered losses such as family, homes, jobs, and more.

Even through all these hardships, I want to reiterate the words of the Worldwide spiritual leader of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, the Fifth Caliph to Messiah Ahmad, His Holiness Mirza Masroor Ahmad from his book, ‘World Crisis and the Pathway to Peace’,

“The same sentiment and hope is expressed by all of us, which is that peace in the world comes to be established before our very eyes; and so each year I also request all of you to endeavor to promote peace wherever you have the opportunity and with whoever you have contact. Furthermore, I also request all those who are linked to political parties or governments that they should also convey this message of peace within their circles of influence. It is essential that everyone is made aware that, for the establishment of world peace, there is a far greater need for high and principled moral values than ever before.”

We have been through a great deal, as we enter the New Year and set goals for ourselves, I encourage kindness and patience, spread love and support one another. We are strong individuals who now need to start new, start fresh. The best way to start this is within ourselves and then to our closest friends and passing it on. Remember to encourage love for all, hatred for none.

About Ahmadiyya Muslim Community:

The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community is a dynamic, reformist and fast-growing international movement within Islam. Founded in 1889, the Community spans over 200 countries with membership exceeding tens of millions. Ahmadiyya Muslim Community USA, established in 1920, is among the oldest American-Muslim organizations.

The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community is the only Islamic organization to believe that the long- awaited messiah has come in the person of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (1835-1908) of Qadian, India. Ahmad claimed to be the metaphorical second coming of Jesus of Nazareth and the divine guide, whose advent was foretold by the Prophet of Islam, Muhammad.

The Community believes that God sent Ahmad, like Jesus, to end religious wars, condemn bloodshed and re-institute morality, justice, and peace. Ahmad’s advent has brought about an unprecedented era of Islamic revival and moderation. He divested Muslims of fanatical beliefs and practices by vigorously championing Islam’s true and essential teachings.
