On 15 November 2023, Jamaat-e-Ahmadiyya Saskatoon, Canada, organised an interfaith event in the Bangla language on the theme “Religions for Peace.” This event marked the first-ever large-scale Bangla event hosted by Saskatoon Jamaat.
The event commenced with the recitation from the Holy Quran, followed by its translation and a welcome speech from the Secretary Tabligh of Saskatoon Jamaat.
The programme featured two guest speakers, each representing different faiths. Madhurja Ghosh Sahib and Feroz Alam Sahib represented Hinduism and Islam, respectively. Speeches were followed by a question and answer session. Attendees asked questions of the speakers, who answered them in light of their faith.
The Ahmadi missionary from Saskatoon, Saad Hayat Sahib gave concluding remarks and thanked all guest speakers, dignitaries, and attendees for attending the event.
The event concluded with a silent prayer led by Feroz Alam Sahib.
The total attendance was 60 non-Ahmadi guests, including 10 non-Bengali-speaking guests.
