Thousands gathered for the second day of Jalsa Salana 2022 (Annual Convention) of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jamaat Canada at Hadiqa Ahmad, Bradford, ON. The official program was presided by Imam Azhar Haneef, which included a special address by The Right Honourable Justin Trudeau. Several dignitaries, politicians and community leaders also spoke on the second day of the three-day National Islamic Convention. The Jalsa Salana (Annual Convention) of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jamaat offers practical solutions to combat various
forms of religious extremism, while discussing the reconciliation of freedom of speech, freedom of religion and
Islam’s compatibility with the West.
Justin Trudeau commended the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama`at for its commitment to upholding the principles of
respect, inclusion and fairness. Trudeau expressed, “I can think of no community that better embodies the very
values that Canada aspires to, more than the Ahmadiyya [Muslim] Community.”
The Prime Minister was keenly aware of and expressed empathy for the unjust arrests of Ahmadi Muslims in
Pakistan last week for taking part in Eid festivities.
