This year's July 4th celebrations allowed the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community to use their recently built new mosque, Masjid Mubarak (House of Blessings). It was the first time the community was able to use the building for this purpose which allowed for an assortment of activities to be held.
The barbecue was open to the general public, among which a number of political delegates were in attendance, as well as residents from in and around the neighborhood. An endless supply of food and cold drinks catered to the attendees of that sweltering 4th of July Thursday, people got to enjoy delicious hamburgers and hotdogs, washing them down with ice cold soda drinks.
Tariq Amjed, President of the chapter where the mosque is situated, was overall pleased to have so many guests attend the 4th of July function. "This is our first function at this new mosque site, inshallah (God willing) we will be holding many more functions in years to come."
