In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.
7:1: I, Allah, am the best Knower, the Truthful.
7:2: A Book revealed to thee — so let there be no straitness in thy breast concerning it — that thou
mayest warn thereby, and a Reminder to the believers.
7:3: Follow what has been revealed to you from your Lord and follow not besides Him any
guardians; little do you mind!
7:4: And how many a town have We destroyed! So Our punishment came to it by night or while
they slept at midday.
7:5: Yet their cry, when Our punishment came to them, was nothing but that they said: Surely we
were wrong-doers.
4
7:6: Then certainly We shall question those to whom messengers were sent, and We shall question
the messengers,
7:7: Then surely We shall relate to them with knowledge, and We are never absent.

Assalaam O Alaikum Hazrat Ameer Sahib & Brothers and Sisters of the Ahmadiyya Jamaat worldwide.

It is with great pleasure on behalf of the Toronto Jamaat I extend to one and all EID MOBARAK.

May Allah accept our Prayers & our Fast during the month of Ramadan & shower His Choicest Blessing
on us for the effort.

It is time for us to unite and work together for the Blessing of all mankind. Let us use our resources to
expand the knowledge of the virtue of True Islam to our Brothers and Sisters. Mankind is yearning for a
better life in this troubled world and we have the tools to accomplish this goal.

May the Message of Peace be with us all.

Wassalaam O Alaikum.

Yours truly
Ahamed Hosein
President, OAAIIL (Toronto Canada)

Eid message from Abdul Nasim, President AAIIL, Fiji

“It is not righteousness that you turn your faces towards the East and the West, but righteous is the
one who believes in Allah, and the Last Day, and the angels and the Book and the prophets, and
gives away wealth out of love for Him … and keeps up prayer and gives the due charity; … These
are they who are truthful; and these are they who keep their duty” (2:177).

Dear Hazrat Ameer and all the members the Jamaats globally.
Assalamu alaikum wa Rahmatullahe wa Barakatuhu.

On behalf of the Board of Directors and members of Ahmadiyya Anjuman Ishaat Islam (Lahore) Fiji, it
gives me tremendous pleasure to convey our Eid Mubarak to all of you.

Alhamdulillah, all praise is due to Allah, Who has allowed us to complete a month of fast in obedience to
His command. Allah Subhanutallah tells us in verse 2:183 that fasting is prescribed for us so that we may
guard against evil, and in verse 2:185 we are told that Allah desires ease for us and not hardship. Merciful
Allah has facilitated and made it easy for us to complete the fast and I am sure we have done all the duties
imposed on us and have guarded against all evil thoughts and actions. Most of the requirements during the
Ramadan, apart from such things as eating and drinking, are the duties imposed on us for our everyday
life.

In the verse 2:177 which I have quoted above, Almighty Allah tells us that righteous is the one who
believes in Allah, the Last Day, the angels, the Book (Holy Quran) and the prophets, as well as to keep up
prayer and give due charity. These are obligations not only during Ramadan but throughout our lives. We
have, of course, given these things top priority during Ramadan, and now that we have been able to
comply with these requirements, let’s pray that we can keep the spirit of Ramadan in our minds every day
and fulfill these duties on daily basis so that we can seek Allah’s pleasure in this life as well in the
Hereafter.

Please convey our EID MUBARAK to all the members and their families.

Wassalam,
Abdul Nasim
President
Ahmadiyya Anjuman Ishaat Islam (Lahore) Fiji
