Words from the Host Imam

Imam Mohammad Atae Rabbi Hadi stated, "We warmly invite Australians of all background to join us for our Australia Day Lunch, where we wish to share with our fellow residents the sense of belonging, opportunity, and unity we have found in Australia after making it our home. This event is not just a celebration, but also a reflection of our commitment to contribute to the progress and prosperity of Australia. Inspired by our motto, ‘Love for All, Hatred for None,’ we look forward to welcoming you and celebrating what makes Australia truly special—its people."

Words from the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community Caliph

Speaking about the values of loyalty and integration, His Holiness Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad, the Worldwide Head of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, has stated:

“For me, true integration is to love the country in which you live and to be completely loyal to it. Thus, all immigrants should be loyal to their adopted nation, they should truly love it, they should honour it, they should be law-abiding and work for its prosperity and progress. This is integration.”

This sentiment reflects the spirit of the event, fostering unity among Australians of all backgrounds and strengthening community ties.

With free admission, free food, and an atmosphere of warmth and camaraderie, this event promises to be an unforgettable way to mark Australia Day 2025.
