Thank you to the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama’at Canada & the Ahmadiyya Parliamentary Friendship Association for hosting the 10th Annual Eid/Ramadan Dinner. This meaningful evening brought together faith, community, and political leaders in Ottawa to foster dialogue and community.

As co-chair of the Parliamentary Friends Association of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama’at Canada @PFA_Ahmadiyya, I was happy to welcome members of the community, MPs, Senators and other leaders at the annual Break-a-Fast (Iftar) dinner on Parliament Hill. Thank you to Minister @MarcMillerVM for representing the Government of Canada. Ramadan is the sacred month of fasting, prayers and charity, marked by compassion and empathy for those less fortunate. Thank you to Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama'at Canada @ahmadiyyacanada for your community’s volunteer and charitable work in #Etobicoke and across #Canada. Ramadan Mubarak! Faheem Affan @FdAffan

I was pleased to join my colleagues and attend the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community’s annual Break-A-Fast in Ottawa last night, bringing together community leaders, public servants, and Canadians from all faith backgrounds. Organized by the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, the evening reflected the spirit of Ramadan — a time of reflection, compassion, and service to others. The theme of interfaith support and dialogue is more important than ever. Canada is stronger when communities come together in this spirit of unity and mutual respect. Events like this highlight the important role the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community plays in civic life and in advancing the values of peace, inclusion, and religious freedom across our country. 🇨🇦☪️ J'ai eu le plaisir de me joindre à mes collègues et d'assister hier soir à Ottawa au repas annuel de rupture du jeûne organisé par la communauté musulmane Ahmadiyya, qui a réuni des dirigeants communautaires, des fonctionnaires et des Canadiens de toutes origines religieuses. Organisée par la communauté musulmane Ahmadiyya, cette soirée reflétait l'esprit du ramadan, une période de réflexion, de compassion et de service aux autres. Le thème du soutien et du dialogue entre les religions est plus important que jamais. Le Canada est plus fort lorsque les communautés s'unissent dans cet esprit d'unité et de respect mutuel. Des événements comme celui-ci soulignent le rôle important que joue la communauté musulmane Ahmadiyya dans la vie civique et dans la promotion des valeurs de paix, d'inclusion et de liberté religieuse à travers notre pays.

Thanks @Sflecce and @annarobertsmp for joining us last night. It was a pleasure to have you.

Ramadan is more than fasting, it’s a reset of the heart and mind. An in depth look at how community comes together to observe this holy month. 🎥 @CBCNews:

Our heartfelt prayers and condolences are with the families, friends, and all those who have lost loved ones or whose lives have been forever changed by this senseless act of violence. We also express our sincere gratitude to the first responders and emergency personnel for their courage, sacrifice, and selflessness in protecting others under the most difficult circumstances. In moments of tragedy, Canada’s strength lies in our unity, compassion, and shared humanity. May we continue to come together to support one another, reject violence in all its forms, and uphold peace, empathy, and understanding. The Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama’at Canada prays for healing, comfort, and resilience for the affected community.

Season’s Greetings! Wishing you and your loved ones a joyful, healthy, & peaceful holiday season. This is a beautiful time to check in on relatives, friends, & neighbours, sometimes a simple message can mean everything. #MerryChristmas, #HappyHolidays, #HappyNewYear #cdnpoli

STATEMENT Following the terrorist attack at Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia, earlier today, the World Head of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, His Holiness Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad stated: “On behalf of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community worldwide, I condemn in the strongest terms the heinous terrorist attack targeting innocent members of the Jewish community in Australia. Nothing can ever justify such acts of violence. Islam upholds the absolute sanctity of human life and declares that the killing of one innocent person is tantamount to killing all of humanity. Acts of terrorism and hatred are therefore completely contrary to the true teachings of Islam. As Muslims, our faith requires us to show love, compassion and grace to the people of all faiths and beliefs. Our heartfelt sympathies are with all those affected by this tragedy, and we pray for the swift recovery of those who have been injured.”

It was a pleasure meeting @_MarkSutcliffe, mayor of #Ottawa, yesterday. Thank you for welcoming us to your office. We look forward to working with you to help eliminate all forms of hate from our beautiful city and our wonderful country. #LoveforAllHatredforNone #Respect

Canada has no place for hate of any kind. This holiday season, let’s reflect, reach out, and spread kindness. Love for All, Hatred for None. #cdnpoli #onpoli #Canada #Ottawa #AntiMuslimHate #LoveForAllHatredForNone #UnityInDiversity #CanadaForAll #PeaceAndJustice

Judaism, Christianity & Islam share love, respect & common values. The actions of a few misguided individuals do not define entire faiths. We don’t call antisemitism “Judaism-phobia.” We don’t call hate against Christians “Christianity-phobia.” So why Islamophobia?

Words matter. Using the wrong ones fuels misunderstanding. #Islamophobia is the wrong word. Islam = Peace. Phobia = Fear. How can peace be feared? The right term is "Anti-Muslim Hate". Words shape perceptions. Let’s stop using language that suggests Islam itself is dangerous.

Promoting peace and working for justice remain urgent needs of our time. The continued guidance of the Head of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad, calls on all peoples and communities to uphold these principles with sincerity and resolve.

in empathy & respect leaves a far greater legacy than authority ever could. That brief encounter made me withdraw my application for the senior position. Was it the right decision or an emotional one? I’m still reflecting, but moments like these remind us of the kind of
