This glorious Bait-Ur-Rahman Mosque stands as a monument to the efforts of believers exercising their faith through deed and word. We, in the Washington area, have become richer since the global Ahmadiyya Movement planted its compassionate and charitable seeds in the fields of poverty, crime and destitution which plague these United States. Your noble acts to house the homeless, reach out to the refugees of war, clean-up our environment and build alliances with other faiths, are a testament to the inspiring and humanitarian qualities of Islam. On this auspicious occasion, celebrating the fruits of many years' labor, I salute the congregation of Bait-Ur-Rahman for adding yet another brick to this community's temple of values and righteousness. While October 14, 1994 may signify the end of one kind of work, it most certainly marks the beginning of other more challenging tasks. I know you welcome God's work and will carry out his will to the best of your abilities. May God continue to bless us with the devotion and piety of Ahmadiyya Muslims. Sincerely, Le ie L.
