Ahmadiyya Muslim community lead annual New Year street clean Members of the Ahmadiyya Muslim community collected hundreds of bags of litter in towns and cities across the UK as part of an annual New Year clean-up.
Imam Shah, who is involved in leading worship at the largest mosque in western Europe – Baitul Futuh mosque in Morden, south London – is one of an estimated 30,000 Ahmadiyya Muslims based in the UK.
More than 1,700 people took part in the event organised by the Ahmadiyya Muslim Youth Association (AMYA), in major UK cities including London, Glasgow, Liverpool and Manchester.
Imam Adeel Shah, who led the community litter pick in east Hampshire, said a number of non-Muslims also joined in.
“In recent times, some voices have wrongly suggested that Islam is incompatible with British values,” said Abdul Quddus Arif, AMYA UK’s national president.
