The resolution celebrates the 75th anniversary of the American Fazl Mosque, recognizing its significant contributions to the District of Columbia and the Greater Washington Metropolitan Area. Established in 1950 by the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community USA, the mosque is noted as the first permanent mosque in Washington, D.C., and has played a vital role in promoting peace, justice, interfaith harmony, and community service. The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, founded in 1889, has been influential in American society, contributing to civic engagement and humanitarian efforts, and is recognized for its multiracial model of American Islam.
The resolution acknowledges the mosque's ongoing commitment to public service, including support for local food banks and blood drives, and its role as a center for worship and interfaith dialogue. It expresses appreciation for the mosque's motto, "Love for All, Hatred for None," and welcomes its continued presence and impact in the community. The resolution will take effect immediately upon publication in the District of Columbia Register.
