Imam delivered a succinct commentary on the basic fundamentals of the movement. His message that the Jama’at stands for universal love, peace and tolerance was very well received by the Council.

Imam Shamshad stressed upon the need for peace in the world today. He also mentioned the efforts of His Holiness Hadhrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad (Worldwide Head of the Ahmadiyya Community) in this regard, particularly his addresses to the Parliaments (including Capitol Hill), and letters to the world leaders.

Imam then recited the prayers of the Holy Prophet (saw) for peace.
