BRITISH Muslims will pray for the nation’s heroes battling against coronavirus today, a week before the holy month of Ramadan begins.
Thousands of young people from the Ahmadiyya Muslim Youth Association (AMYA) will take a moment to pray and show their gratitude to the NHS, fire brigade, police, council and voluntary workers on the front line as 1.8 million people worldwide prepare for the Islamic holiday.
The group has been supporting front-line workers over the past month by assisting 600 NHS staff with food packages and PPE supplies, providing 2,698 households with food parcels and medicine and establishing 25 foodbanks across Britain.
AMYA national president Imam Abdul Quddus said: “In these tough times, many feel insecure and afraid, but our message to fellow Brits is one of solidarity, unity and security.
“As Muslims, love for our nation is a part of our faith and we also believe that being grateful is a duty upon all Muslims.”
AMYA said they hope that the public will join them at 7pm by putting their hands together in prayer and share messages of support on social media using #PrayForHeroes.
