Prayer Vigil to be held at Ahmadiyya Muslim Mosque

Please join us for the prayer vigil held at Bait-ul-Ata Mosque in Norcross on Saturday, December 12th at 4 pm.

The backlash towards Muslim Americans after the mass shooting in San Bernardino has been strong. In light of this horrific tragedy, the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community is holding prayer vigils for the terror victims all across the US. The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community in Georgia is holding an interfaith prayer vigil at Bait ul Ata Mosque on Saturday, December 12th at 4 pm. Islam is a religion of peace and by no means does it promote killing of innocent people. In fact, the Holy Quran teaches us that killing of an innocent is like the destruction of all of mankind.

This Saturday, the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community of Georgia will unite to express our deepest condolences with the victims and their friends and family. We are with them, grieving and praying for them. This has affected all of us and we urge calm. Please join us and see the real face of Islam.
