Give Blood, Save Lives!

This September, help us honor the victims of 9/11.

About 14 years ago, a tragic attack on America left an indelible mark. Nearly 3,000 people died in this attack. As we commemorate the 14th anniversary of 9/11, the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community around the US is holding their annual “Muslims for Life” campaign. Through this campaign, our community is holding blood drives with the goal of saving thousands of lives. Within four years, our community held 1074 blood drives and collected 39,477 pints that could potentially help save 118,000 lives!

This campaign emphasizes Islam’s true teaching of peace. In fact, the Holy Quran teaches that life is sacred by stating that whoever unjustly kills a single person is as if he had killed all of mankind; and whoever saves the life of one person is as if he has saved the life of all of humanity (5:33). “Muslims for Life” campaign sends a message to all that we stand for peace, not terrorism. Our aim is to save lives and unite Americans regardless of faith.

The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community in Georgia is holding many blood drives this month. We would love to see our fellow Americans join us in this blessed campaign to help save lives. Information of the upcoming blood drive is given below:
