I am proud to be a part of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, which is trying to revive the actual beauty of Islamic teachings. “Love for All, Hatred for None” is the motto of this community and we believe in it with all of our hearts.

There is no difference between following Islam as a religion and having loyalty to one’s country of residence. Being loyal and having love for one’s country is a part of the Islamic faith. The Quran states, “O ye who believe, obey God and obey the Prophet and obey those in authority from among you” (4:60).
The word Islam means “peace.” In an ideal Islamic society, peace and harmony start at home, expanding to the community level, and spreading out to the entire world. God has provided us with the perfect way of life for every aspect of human society.

All of these different responsibilities have one overarching goal — peace in society.
