Right now, over 40,000 Muslims from ~100 nations are holding a massive 3-day Islamic peace conference in Germany
•It’s open to ALL people
•I’m willing to bet this tweet is the first you heard
•Share w/ppl who think us Muslims don’t exemplify our faith with love

So #JalsaGermany just concluded with 41,000+ Muslims from 90+ nations. Here are some gems media largely missed, that I feel compelled to share with you.

1. The Khalifa called out the anti-Muslim & anti-Islam animus behind Europe’s immigration concerns.
/2

The Khalifa condemned those Muslims who engage in any form of abuse of women, verbal, sexual abuse, or domestic violence

He leaves no excuse for such reprehensible behavior & reminded everyone that Islam has mandated exceptionally strong punishments for rapists

The Khalifa implored societies to recognize the humanity in helping genuine refugees & to be the support they need.

This is really a moving message. It’s a call to action to be our brother’s & sister’s keeper.

The Khalifa likewise spoke up for national security & admonished that we can show our compassion while ensuring our safety. The two concepts are not at odds with one another.

This is a message the Khalifa has delivered for years.

Moreover, the Khalifa rejected Far-Right nationalist terror groups who deminize Muslim Refugees b/c of the acts of a small minority of extremists.

He quoted Quran 10:100 & 18:30 to demonstrably show that extremists have nothing to do with Islamic teachings.

Finally the Khalifa implored humanity to rekindle their relationship with the Creator as a means of attaining inner and international peace.

Today #JalsaGermany ended in tradition of singing poetry in praise of God and Prophet Muhammad (sa).

Here are German Ahmadi Muslims singing in German.

Next, our African Ahmadi Muslim brothers sang poetry in praise of God and Prophet Muhammad (sa).

And if you like Arabic poetry, see our Arab Ahmadi Muslim brothers reciting their hearts out at the end of #JalsaGermany
/10

There was also poetry in Spanish, Urdu, & Macedonian—showing again how truly global Ahmadiyya Muslim Community is

A worldwide Muslim community under a Khalifa, dedicated to peace, service of all humanity, & God—But media is absent😑

Frustrating—but guess what?
