Faith in Action DC: Imam Mohamed Magid of ADAMS Center

Each week, Faith in Action DC brings you interviews with faith leaders in the Washington, D.C. region speaking about how their faith calls them to work for social justice and serve their community.

This week, Imam Mohamed Magid, Executive Director of the All Dulles Area Muslim Society (ADAMS) in Sterling, Va., reflects on the dual nature of worship, what it means to have faith, and the admonitions from the Quran calling all people to serve.

ADAMS is one of the largest Muslim communities/mosques in the D.C. Metro Area and in the United States. ADAMS engages in regular interfaith, government relations, social services and community service, including one of the largest Cub Scout, Boy Scout and Girl Scout programs in the D.C. Metro area.

This is an awesome article and interview. We are meant to be The People of Mercy. As The People of Mercy/Kindness/Grace/Love/Compassion/Forgiveness we live the one true Islam. Quran tells us that the Prophet, may Divine Peace be upon him, came as a mercy to all creatures and all worlds. Not just to the ummah, but to all creation and all the worlds (the animals, plants, trees, stones, angels, etc). The more we have a religion dedicated to Mercy, the more peace will be in the world. Islamophobia will decrease through mercy and terrorists will not be able to say violence is their Islam.

Ya Rahman! Ya Rahim! O Divine Mercy and Compassion! May we share the Mercy shown us with all others. Amin!
