George Floyd’s inhumane murder ignites concern over the abuse of power by some law enforcement against my African American siblings. We’re finally realizing that the real issue is rooted in racial injustice and systemic discrimination.
As an Ahmadi Muslim I condemn racism, hatred, and injustice in all its ugly forms. I follow and advocate the teachings of true Islam’s compassion and sympathy for all humans as one family. True Islam eliminates fabricated boundaries that we’ve erected creating division and enmity and has been bridging gaps for 1400 years.
“And among His Signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the diversity of your tongues and colors. In that surely are Signs for those who possess knowledge” Qur’an 30:23.

In his farewell sermon, Prophet Muhammad said:
“Allah has made you brethren one to another, so be not divided. An Arab has no preference over a non-Arab, nor a non-Arab over an Arab; nor is a white one to be preferred to a dark one, nor a dark one to a white one.”

We encourage policymakers and leaders of our country to swiftly and sensibly implement preventative laws and policies which will proactively protect the lives and welfare of all people, irrespective of their color, creed, or nationality.
Better yet, each American should reflect inwardly on the moral culture we live by in our own homes and communities. If we adopted Islamic guidance, then we would repel evil with what is best and not let anyone’s injustice incite us to be unjust.
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 reinstitute 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.
