Ahmadiyya Muslim Association Doncaster named finalist for Pride of Edlington Cultural Contribution Award
The Ahmadiyya Muslim Association Doncaster at Baitul Baseer Mosque has been named a finalist for the Pride of Edlington Awards in the Cultural Contribution Award category this year.This recognition highlights the Association’s dedicated and ongoing services to the local area and its people, underscoring its role as a steadfast
partner in fostering community spirit and social cohesion across Edlington and the wider borough.Upon learning of the nomination, Bilal Mahmood, President of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Association Doncaster, expressed the community’s profound appreciation.“We are deeply grateful for this nomination,” said Mr Mahmood. “There are some wonderful individuals, organisations and communities working tirelessly day and night in the service of people across our town, and being listed as one of the finalists is truly humbling. To be considered alongside them is an honour in itself.”
Mr Mahmood was keen to emphasise that the community’s efforts stem directly from its faith. “Our commitment to serving others is a core teaching of our Islam,” he explained.
“We are continuously guided by the example and instructions of our worldwide head, His Holiness Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad, who urges us to be loyal citizens and to be at the forefront of serving our neighbours and our nation. This principle of ‘Love for All, Hatred for None’ is what motivates our charitable collections, our interfaith outreach, community clean-up and other initiatives.”Looking ahead, the Association views this nomination not as an endpoint, but as an encouragement to deepen its local engagement.
“We plan to continue to serve this town and its people as per the teachings of Islam taught to us by Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad,” Mr. Mahmood affirmed. “Our work is a permanent part of our faith, and we remain committed to strengthening our partnerships and supporting all residents of
Edlington and beyond irrespective of background or belief. This recognition strengthens our resolve to contribute positively to the area we are proud to call home.”
