Double celebration in Huddersfield

Celebration in Huddersfield

The Ahmadiyya Muslim Association, Huddersfield held a function at Huddersfield Town Hall on Sunday 6th May 2012 to mark the Queen's Diamond Jubilee and 50 years of Ahmadiyya Muslim Assocation in Huddersfield. Huddersfield Town Hall was packed with guests and members of the Ahmadiyya Community. The Deputy Lord Lieutenant of West Yorkshire represented the Queen. A book "Tohfa-e-Qaisariyyah - A Gift for the Queen" by Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, written in 1897 for Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee and republished for the Queen's Diamond Jubilee, was presented to the Deputy Lord Lieutenant, along with £500 for the Queen's charity.

The Ahmadiyya Muslim Assocation is marking the Queen's Diamond Jubilee throughout the UK by lighting up the Mosques, holding street parties and feeding the homeless. They will also be holding a charity walk hoping to raise £450,000 for the Queen's charity and other charities. The Ahmadiyya community wants to work closly with all faiths and other communities to promote peace, harmony and community cohesion and respect for each other and the motto of the community is 'Love for All, Hatred for None'.
