LONDON, November 6, 2013 /PRNewswire/ —
More than ten thousand Ahmadi Muslims will this week stand united with the country in remembering the brave members of the Armed Forces who sacrificed their lives for Great Britain.
Thousands of worshippers will congregate at Mosques across the country, including the UK’s largest Mosque in Morden, at2:30pm on Friday. The Community will also be inviting volunteers to sell poppies at the Mosques.
Hundreds of young Members of the community’s youth group, the Ahmadiyya Muslim Youth Association (AMYA), have been out on the streets, in shopping centres, and train stations selling poppies.
2013 marks the fourth year in a row that members of the AMYA have raised funds for the Royal British Legion (RBL). So far the AMYA has raised more than £40,000 for RBL and this year they are hoping to raise even more.
Ahmadi Muslims believe that loyalty to one’s country is part of their faith and so have been out at dozens of tube and train stations, shopping centres, and football stadiums, raising money for injured servicemen, veterans and families of the fallen.
AMYA’s hard work has not gone unnoticed.
