"Muslims for Peace" present message

Baitul Hameed Mosque, in Chino, and the Ahmadiyya Music Community, in Chino brought a message of Muslims for peace to an Upland fire station on a recent Saturday.

The event, sponsored by the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), was attended by over 2000 Muslims from all over Southern California, where Imam Shamshad was joined by two Ahmadi members in attendance. Some 200 participants representing various faiths were present at the morning breakfast at the fire station. The Upland Interfaith Council (UIC), which the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community is a member, arranged its 15th annual 'Prayer Breakfast' at the same location as the last year - the Fire Station No. 1, located at the corner of Arrow Highway and 2nd Street in Upland, California.

Imam Shamshad Nasir, the Regional Missionary of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, began the event with opening prayers.

With several dignitaries from Upland city government and the president of the UIC at the head table, prayer meeting opened when Imam Shamshad Nasir recited the opening chapter from the Muslim Holy Scriptures, the Holy Quran.
