A splendid event entitled “Jashan-e Rahmatulil Aalameen” [‘Mercy for all the worlds’ Festival] was staged to commemorate the birth and life of the Holy Founder of Islam, the Holy Prophet Muhammad (saw), here in Calgary during the last weekend.
The event was organized by Hasan Nawab Rizwi and Burhan Khan, in cooperation with the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community of Calgary, Canada.
This was an unique event where, for the first time in the history of Canada, a Sunni Muslim or Shiea Muslim organization not only invited the Ahmadi Muslims to attend such an event, but also asked Ahmadi leaders to address the audience.
The event was meticulously organized with participants and discipline in mind and the program presented a beautiful balance.
The speakers, Dr. Salman Tarrabi, Sayed Arab Gilani, Dr Abdur Rahman, Afaq Hussain , Nayer Aziz, Sadaqat Ghazi, Almia Rizwi, and Faizan Mustafa, were joined by Nasir Mahmood Butt from the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community.
During the ceremony, the participants rose to their feet several times to answer the Allah-o Akbar and other sentimental slogans.
A large number of women also participated in the program and a female speaker was invited to address the gathering.
A visiting provincial minister from Pakistan, Miss Farzana Rabia also participated in the event.
In the end Burhan Khan thanked the attendees for their participation. He also appreciated the speakers for sharing the stage to present their beautiful thoughts.
The attendees and speakers from the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community indicated they were pleasantly surprised about their successful participation in the auspicious occasion and thanked the organizers for the invitation.
The guest were treated to a community feast at the end of the program.
