Recent Activities in Tucson
On February 11th we participated in a forum in which representatives from Christian, Jewish, Hindu, Buddhist, Zoroastrian, Theosophist, and Baha’i faiths discussed their beliefs. The forum attracted about 100 people. It was a wonderful opportunity for us to tell people about the true religion of Islam as described in Quran, and to deliver the message
of submission to God alone. There was a great deal of interest; many people from the audience expressed their appreciation for having the opportunity to learn the facts about Submission.
On May 3rd, we were asked to represent the Muslim community for the vigil organized in Tucson in memory of the Oklahoma City blast victims. Each representatives of different religions gave speeches, some of which made the local television news, including ours.
Earlier this year, we spoke to about 30 people with a Christian background who wanted to know more about the religion of Islam. We are also continuing in our efforts to spread the message of worshiping God alone as the member of the Inter Religious council of
Southern Arizona.
Soup Kitchen
We participated in an ongoing project to help feed the hungry in cooperation with Casas Adobes congregational church and Temple Emmanuel synagogue. During one weekend every other month, representatives from the three communities get together to buy,
prepare and distribute food at a soup kitchen operated by the Salvation Army. The kitchen feeds 200 people at each meal.
Note: If there is any activity in your community that you would like us to include in this newsletter, please send us a brief description of it.
