The American Islamic Fellowship condemns the actions taken by the terrorist forces in Mumbai, India that attacked, killed and injured people this past week.
One of AIF's values is the encouragement of interfaith dialogue and cooperation. We encourage each of you to find ways to reach out to others constantly. Times of tragedy often alert individuals to issues in the world, but one must constantly work and strive to collaborate with others and to be aware of how to live with each other peacefully regardless of practices or beliefs.
Chabad of Georgia has setup a site for those who would like to send their thoughts and prayers to Mumbai and those affected by the events there.
One can visit the What Can I Do? section of the Chabad website to select a Mitzvah, or an act of human kindness, to do in honor of the victims in Mumbai. These acts of kindness can be posted publicly or only shared with those at the center.
If one is interested in attending a memorial service, there will be one Monday, December 1 at 8pm at the Chabad of GA/Beth Tefillah (5065 Highpoint Road, Atlanta, GA 30342). The service will be held in memory of Rabbi Gavriel and Mrs Rivkah Holtzberg, Chabad emissaries to Mumbai, India.
The American Islamic Fellowship is aware of the many event affecting humanity in the world today and constantly works to provide resources and activities to facilitate helping others.
"So hasten towards all that is good." Qu'ran 2:148
