We are a resilient nation; we cannot allow anyone to terrorize us. As Muslims and Americans, we stand by the values of moral virtue and justice central to our faith and stand by all those affected. If you would like to help, please visit Red Cross of Eastern Massachusetts.

Ahmadiyya Muslim Community condemns bombings and calls for unity against extremism

Ahmadiyya Muslim Community USA expresses its most heartfelt condolences to the victims and families affected by the bombings in Boston today and prays that God Almighty gives them patience, comfort and strength during this time of immense struggle. While details of the attack continue to emerge, Ahmadiyya Muslim Community USA condemns this horrific act in the strongest possible manner. The Community prays that those responsible for today's bombing are swiftly brought to justice and that peace is once again restored.

'As Muslims, our duty is both to God and to humanity,' said Ahmadiyya Muslim Community USA National Vice President Dr. Nasim Rehmatullah, 'and we want our fellow Americans to be confident that we stand united with them, especially in this difficult time.' Moreover, the Community's Boston chapter is available to provide assistance to those affected by this tragedy.

About Ahmadiyya Muslim Community:

Ahmadiyya Muslim Community is a dynamic, reformist and fast-growing international revival movement within Islam. Founded in 1889, the Community spans more than 200 countries with membership exceeding tens of millions. Ahmadiyya Muslim Community USA, established in 1920, is among the first American-Muslim organizations.

Ahmadiyya Muslim Community is the only Islamic organization to believe that the long- awaited messiah has come in the person of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (1835-1908) of Qadian, India. Ahmad claimed to be the metaphorical second coming of Jesus of Nazareth and the divine guide, whose advent was foretold by the Prophet of Islam, Muhammad. The Community believes that God sent Ahmad, like Jesus, to end religious wars, condemn bloodshed and reinstitute morality, justice and peace. Ahmad's advent has brought about an unprecedented era of Islamic revival and moderation. He divested Muslims of fanatical beliefs and practices by vigorously championing Islam's true and essential teachings.
