“May God Make USA a Super Power in Spirituality and Morality”

-Imam Shamshad Nasir

Ahmadiyya Muslim Community celebrated Independence Day by spreading the message of peace, love, harmony, sacrifice, and loyalty to our fellow-citizens.

Despite the hot weather and the Ramadan fast, Ahmadi youths had spent several days constructing and decorating the float for the Independence Day parade in Glen Ellyn, IL.

On the day of the parade, young boys, girls, and men marched along with the float, distributing candies, T-shirts and other memorabilia to kids along the way. Several members also joined the crowd of onlookers to cheer the parade participants.

After the parade, members were encouraged to gather at the Bait-ul-Jaamay mosque, where Imam Shamshad Nasir reiterated the importance that Islam lays on loyalty to one’s motherland.
