It’s not easy surviving coronavirus in an increasingly unstable society. The unalienable right of justice seems reduced to sensational words and empty promises by current political leaders.
Alarmingly, the same perils were faced 100 years ago when Mufti Muhammad Sadiq, the first Ahmadi Muslim missionary to America, came to share true Islam’s needed values.
Inspired by Prophet Muhammad’s strivings in Hilful Fudul, a 6th-century alliance to uphold justice and alleviate suffering, Sadiq challenged and addressed the lack of social and economic justice, morality, freedom and unity so effectively that hundreds of Americans were attracted to the source of Sadiq’s revolution: the Ahmadiyya Muslim community.
Here, the marginalized found fairness, compassion and universal love. It was in our actions that the underprivileged discovered a palpable and lasting impact, and the same can be said today.
The worldwide head of my community, Caliph Mirza Masroor Ahmad, instructed, “Our campaigns and efforts should be focused on ensuring that Black people and other minorities take part fully in all democratic processes and they focus on being represented in all levels of government, law enforcement and other sectors so that real change can occur.”
Thus we launched AAJ, Alliance for Absolute Justice, to reignite the spirit of service in fulfilling the rights of others over our own through God’s recognition as modeled by Prophet Muhammad and enshrined in the Holy Quran.
We invite you to join forces in our call to action in collaboration with Power the Polls to bridge voter gaps. Let’s empower compatriots to vote by volunteering at the polls this election day. Islam guides us to hand over trusts to those who qualify and the greatest qualifying quality is that once elected they should have the courage to govern with justice. Please join our efforts and visit absolutejustice.us.
