Can Muslims Integrate Into Western Societies? Bismill a hir-Ra h m a nir-Ra hi m— In the name of Allah, the Gracious, Ever Merciful. All distinguished guests— assal a mo ‘alaikum wa ra h matull a he wa barak a toh u —peace and blessings of Allah be upon you all. First of all I would like to express my gratitude to all of the guests who have accepted our invitation to attend this event. Many of you are well-acquainted with our Community or have old ties of friendship with Ahmadi Muslims; and I am sure that those of you who have only recently been introduced to the Ahmadiyya Community will have already developed a keen desire in their hearts to learn more about the Jam a ‘at. The attendance of all of you proves that you believe that no danger or threat lies in meet- ing and keeping contact with Ahmadi Muslims and going to their mosques.
