Grand opening of World Peace Outreach and Masjid Al-Noor in Redford Michigan.
During this remarkable reception, Imam Elahi admired Dr. Mahmoud Hadidi and other founders of this new islamic Institution for their courage, commitment and of course generocity for such a huge project.
Imam Elahi said any time we talk about peace, we are talking about God. Paradise is a place of peace.
Imam Elahi stated that justice is the origin of this journey but the destination is peace and that is possible because friendship and forgiveness are possible. He referred to January 16 the MLK’s Day and his message of justice and finally the message of Nelson Mandela of forgiveness and friendship.
The fact that God is called Compassionate and prophet Ibrahim (pbuh) is called friend of God indicates that our relations with the Lord and the world must be based on compassion and friendship.
At the end Imam Elahi prayed to Allah for blessing of the great spiritual and physical food served during this grand opening
