Father James Quinn of St Matthew Catholic Church in Hallandale Beach first met Regional Missionary Imam Muhammad Saeed Khalid and Mr. Munawar Chaudhry, President of Ahmadiyya Muslim Community-Miami at the National Day of Prayer Observance at the Hallandale Beach City Hall on May 2. During the course of the conversation, Father Quinn extended them an invitation to visit St Matthew.
Further communication and meetings panned out to an event at the Church premises. The goal was to inform the congregation aboutIslam and its basic tenants. Father Quinn extended a hand of friendship towards Ahmadiyya Muslim Community because he felt the urgency to bring the peaceful message of Islam to his congregation –and fill the information gap that exists. The need to foster understanding between Muslims and Christians was never greater. The world is riddled with chaos and turmoil and the responsibility lies upon religious leaders to work towards peace in the society. Filling the information void is integral to fostering harmony and building bridges between faiths

[Qur’an 2:63] “Surely, the Believers, and the Jews, and the Christians and the Sabians — whichever party from among these truly believes in Allah and the Last Day and does good deeds — shall have their reward with their Lord, and no fear shall come upon them, nor shall they grieve.”
