Here are my comments to read by Secretary of meeting( I am unable to attend the meeting. <br />Thanks)for Non-Agenda Items in Today’s City Council Meeting. <br />My name is : Hamid Mansoor <br />Member of Ahmadiyya Muslim Community USA. <br />Address: 17709 Alburtis Ave, Artesia, CA 90701. <br />Line phone number: (562)860 2062 <br />Cell Phone: (562) 986 3463 <br />———————————————————— <br />“HADHRAT MARYAM / MARY“ <br />As we celebrate Women’s history month, do you know who one of the most revered woman in Islam <br />is? She is Mary or Maryam, the mother of Jesus. “And relate the story of Mary as mentioned in the <br />Book” (19:17) Besides being identifiable by name in several Quranic verses, Mary or Maryam is also <br />the only woman to have a Surah or Chapter in the Quran named after her. In both Christianity and <br />Islam, Maryam is held as a model of piety and obedience to God’s will. In the Holy Quran, Maryam’s <br />consistent faith and loyalty to God while facing various struggles, hardships, and temptations brought <br />on by the material world makes her a prime example of devoutness for all true believers. <br />At the inauguration of the Maryam Mosque in Ireland, the worldwide spiritual leader of Ahmadiyya <br />Muslim Community and Caliph to Messiah Ahmad, His Holiness Hadhrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad <br />reflected on Maryam’s esteemed status in Islam by saying, “She developed a special bond of love <br />with God, whereby Allah conversed directly with Mary and He Himself attested to her truth. Mary <br />believed in the Books of God, she was righteous and attained a special rank in terms of her <br />obedience to God. She was most certainly an example for all true believers.” In the Holy Quran, it is <br />stated that all true Muslims, male or female should develop the qualities of Maryam, highlighting the <br />crucial and active role that she plays in Islam. Maryam’s qualities such as truthfulness, devotion, <br />steadfastness, nobility, and purity are virtues that all Muslims strive towards. Maryam’s elevated <br />status has existed since the beginning of Islam, and while Islam highlights the importance of several <br />women, Maryam without a doubt is one of the most revered. <br />For more information visit: www.alislam.org <br />Thanks. <br />-- <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />1 <br /> <br />
