14th June 2011 – Address at Hamburg Town Hall, Germany

‘In order to establish and maintain societal peace the Holy Qur’an states: And good and evil are not alike. Repel evil with that which is best. And lo, he, between whom and thyself was enmity, will become as though he were a warm friend. (Ch.41:V.35) Having heard this verse, how can anyone call or view such teachings as harmful? We Ahmadis desire to create this type of environment in the world, in accordance with what has been described in the verse. Undoubtedly this is a golden principle, which if followed, will guarantee the peace and progress of any society.’
