My dear fellow citizens, peace be upon you!
The world is currently going through a great crisis. Calm is lacking everywhere. For one, COVID-19 is wreaking havoc across the globe. It behooves us that we adhere to the preventive measures that we are reminded of, such as:
1. Practice social distancing

4. Maintain good personal and environmental hygiene
Above all, pray to God Almighty that May He protect humanity and Save everyone from this menace. Ameen.
Secondly, I would like to request special prayers for our nation which currently is facing many challenges and difficulties. Especially on the west coast, many states are facing the threat of the raging wildfires. These deadly fires have caused great loss of life and property. The fire is doing what it is supposed to do. We should turn toward God, our Creator, that He may extinguish this fire with His Grace and compensate for the loss of human life and property, Ameen.
Third, rain, flood and hurricanes have displaced many people and have caused loss of life and property.
Fourth, restlessness prevails in many countries around the world. If we look around, we see great suffering of humanity and no one seems to be there to offer comfort. The countries who are able to offer help are not doing enough in this regard and many look for their own interests in every situation.
Therefore, I appeal everyone in our nation that:
1. For the improvement of these conditions, we bow down to God and pray profusely.
2. Wherever you can serve humanity, do so without looking after your own interests. Islam teaches us that if you have mercy on the dwellers of earth, God will have mercy on you, and that to love your nation is a part of the faith.
If the Ahmadiyya Community can help anyone and anywhere, please let us know. We are ready to serve.

About Ahmadiyya Muslim Community:
The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community is a dynamic, reformist and fast-growing international movement within Islam. Founded in 1889, the Community spans over 200 countries with membership exceeding tens of millions. Ahmadiyya Muslim Community USA, established in 1920, is among the oldest American-Muslim organizations.
The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community is the only Islamic organization to believe that the long- awaited messiah has come in the person of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (1835-1908) of Qadian, India. Ahmad claimed to be the metaphorical second coming of Jesus of Nazareth and the divine guide, whose advent was foretold by the Prophet of Islam, Muhammad.
The Community believes that God sent Ahmad, like Jesus, to end religious wars, condemn bloodshed and re-institute morality, justice, and peace. Ahmad’s advent has brought about an unprecedented era of Islamic revival and moderation. He divested Muslims of fanatical beliefs and practices by vigorously championing Islam’s true and essential teachings.
