“I am here to serve. I will serve all without any discrimination,” are the words of Imam Shamshad Nasir, who is the new Imam at Masroor Mosque, at 5640 Hoadly Road near Dale City.

On August 15, the congregation formally welcomed Imam Shamshad Nasir at a dinner specially organized in his honor.

Speaking at this occasion, Imam Nasir highlighted the need to work collaboratively towards education and spiritual progress.  He said, “We have to work together towards these higher goals and let go of petty differences that become an obstacle.”
