Ahmadiyya Muslim Community Victoria 2 mins read
Imam Imtiaz Ahmad Naveed, of Bait-us-Salam Mosque in Melbourne Victoria, shared heartfelt sympathies on behalf of the community:


“We are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of His Holiness Pope Francis. He was a beacon of humility, justice, and inclusivity in a world often divided by differences. His efforts to build bridges between faiths and champion the rights of the vulnerable will be remembered.

As Muslims, we honour his dedication to humanity and his role as a spiritual guide for millions. On behalf of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, we extend our sincere condolences to our Christian brothers and sisters, the Vatican, and all those mourning his loss.

May God Almighty grant him eternal peace and bless the world with continued efforts towards unity and understanding among people of all faiths.”

The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community stands in solidarity with the Catholic community and prays for strength and comfort for all those affected during this time of sorrow.
