External Publications by Majlis Khuddamul Ahmadiyya Canada

By the grace of Allah Majlis Khuddamul Ahmadiyya is publishing news about its events and articles about Islam on a regular basis. Some of the publications are as follows:

Sohail Temoor from Hamilton South was distinctly blessed by having his letter about Jeremy Lin published in 3 major Canadian Newspapers. This strong letter emphasizes that prayer and hard-work is still the ultimate winning recipe even in this secular world - very good for Canadians to hear. It was first published in the Ottawa Citizen (ranked 12th in the nation with a weekly circulation of over 840, 000). We haven't had the privilege of getting published in this elite paper for what seems like a very long time. Here's the letter:

After this, by the Grace of Allah, he was bestowed publication in his home town paper, the Hamilton Spectator (17th largest in the country with about 550, 000 weekly circulation):

That was not all though, as amazingly his letter also got published in the London Free Press (ranked 19th largest in Canada with over 415, 000 circulation):

Next, Muneer Khan sahib from Ottawa had his nice letter (the one with the Promised Messiah's (as) quote) published in the Edmonton Sun (ranked 22nd in the country with over 320, 000 weekly circulation):

Incredibly, this letter also appears in the Winnipeg Sun (weekly circulation of over 240, 000):

Next, Harith Chaudhary from Vaughan was gifted by Allah with another publication of his previous letter which already appeared in the National Post earlier this month. This time the letter appears in the London Free Press (ranked 19th largest in Canada with over 415, 000 circulation):

http://www.lfpress.com/comment/2012/02/23/19416996.html

And finally, here's the major break-through mentioned earlier. By Allah's generous Bounty, today we were finally able to get published in the Globe and Mail (ranked 2nd in the country at 1.9 million weekly circulation. It is 1 of only 2 nationally distributed newspapers in Canada). It is quite an amazing feeling, because this could only happen as the result of Allah's direct help as it was starting to seem impossible as every effort had failed. Yet strangely, we always held hope that Allah could (and would) make it happen and now here we are - Alhamdulillah!

The letter, very short and precise, appears here (at the bottom of the page):

By Allah's grace, a longer version of the letter also appeared today in the Ottawa Sun (weekly circulation of over 265, 000):

That's all for print publications. The following are some online publications which are also significant:

Shakil Mirza from Mississauga appears online in the London Free Press (one of our youngest members, who is only in grade 11):

A letter written by Muneer Ahmad Khan Sahib from Ottawa has been published in National Post about the Shafia "Honour Killings" trial that's been ongoing for a couple of years. National Post is circulated weekly to about 950, 000 people across Canada

The editor of the letters section mentions and quotes his letter multiple times here:

Equally amazing is his appearance in the Toronto Sun (ranked 7th in the country with over 1 million weekly circulation)

This letter appears prominently in the Edmonton Sun (ranked 22nd in the country with over 320, 000 weekly circulation) earlier this week:

Regarding the campaign, in which MASQ members were asked to write about the derogatory cartoon in the UK making jest of the Holy Prophet (saw) and Hadhrat Isa (as), by the Grace of Allah 6 articles were published during this campaign.

The London Free Press (19th largest in Canada with over 415, 000 circulation) published 6 of our letters.

Fakhar Hussain from Scarborough (first-time writer) writes a logical letter:

We also seen a round of "AMSA Domination" as AMSA members from York University let loose and were blessed with publications:

Usman Tahir from Abode of Peace and Rehan Sharif from Rexdale(AMSA York) write a perfectly balanced letter:

http://www.lfpress.com/comment/letters/home.html?p=48429&x=letters&l_publish_date=&s_publish_date=&s_keywords=usman%20tahir&s_topic=&s_letter_type=Letter%20to%20Editor&s_topic=&s_letter_status=Active&s=letters

Sohail Temoor from Hamilton (AMSA York) starts it all of for us:

http://www.lfpress.com/comment/letters/home.html?p=48417&x=letters&l_publish_date=&s_publish_date=&s_keywords=sohail&s_topic=&s_letter_type=Letter%20to%20Editor&s_topic=&s_letter_status=Active&s=letters

In another remarkable feat, Sohail Temoor was also published by the Hamilton Spectator (17th largest in the country with about 550, 000 weekly circulation):

http://www.thespec.com/opinion/letters/article/658963--free-speech-comes-with-responsibilities

Allah also rewarded Sheeraz Ahmad sahib from Mississauga for his sincerity and perseverance:

And finally, in the latest publication we've verified, Fakhar Hussain Sahib also just got published in the Edmonton Sun:
